Gods, Angels, Mortals And Demons

No matter what others say, I still think that there's just one Supreme Being. There can be many gods but all make up one. It's just like humans have the essence (of god) too and when we pass on, we'll join the gods again and become one with them. For we came from the same place with them.

When humans come to earth however, they forget who they were, where they'd originally come from and adopt the identity of a lesser being, of a being with (more) weaknesses and which is more vulnerable.

When celestial beings become mortals and are limited in many ways, other celestial beings will have to help mere mortals because mere mortals are not strong enough to go through the trials and tribulations of life on their own as mere mortals. Gods/angels either come down to earth themselves to help humans or they send angels down. Or they have HUMANS who are like angels (kind, helpful etc) to look after other humans. The last option-humans looking after/supporting other humans is the worst of all. Because humans are imperfect. When an imperfect human tries to look after another imperfect and supposedly weaker human, we should pray that the former doesn't pass on his imperfectness to the latter. There's also the high chance that the former will bring pain to the latter.

Demons are deemed to be evil and scary since gods are supposedly good and kind. But I believe god is a neutral force and if God is flawless, then He/She/It (who said God has to be a male and angels cannot be celibate?) is also the most imperfect being. Anyway, I think that gods can be mean and evil like humans. This applies to demons too. There must be some kind demons.

I wonder if demons chose to come down from the realm of humans to be demons like how gods/angels chose to be humans. I wonder too if humans have gods in them, then are the demons in humans demons per se or just the other end of the impeccable god in us-the imperfect end of god?

I have attempted to comment on heaven, hell, and the beyond with my limited understanding of these realms and without the benefit of reading Dante Alighieri's "Divina Commedia" (Divine Comedy) . Shall read it someday.

Dante's work is just literature. Should read theology if you're really interested XD.
