While you were reading "Hell Is the Absence of God" do you think that it was Chiang's way of saying that religion is not important or do you think he was trying to show that you must have the right reasons to truly believe in something. I personally believe that he used one of the fallen angels to say his true meaning which was to choose for yourself what you believe in. I'm not if i phrased this correctly but I was just wanting to see what others thought of this story.
