Either that, or someone in Utah had been slipped some LSD.

Actually, the Mormon belief regarding the war in heaven is much more logical. The idea is that two plans were presented to God regarding salvation. In Christ's plan there was free will - but not everyone was saved. In Lucifer's plan, everyone was saved but life was totally deterministic - no free will. When God rejected Lucifer's plan, the war in heaven started, because Lucifer could not handle rejection.

One of the reasons I like this idea is that it associates lack of freedom of action with Lucifer.

I take it this means that human life would be totally deterministic; otherwise, Lucifer (a spirit) wouldn't have had the choice of rejecting God's plan.
