That was what it came down to. It was about permission. People didn't simply close their eyes and become a demon without their say so, it took an act of willful acceptance, wide eyed and understanding. When Cain, for instance, had accepted the mark, he had accepted it knowing the consequences of his actions, that he was corrupted, and his death would mean eternal service to Lucifer. And with it had come an act, send Abel to Heaven himself; an act of conscious evil.
