Aw, the four elements speech guy. I remember you. You always have that same rhetorical question in your arguments about how the four elements created the universe. That explains a lot actually, and it makes it easy to identify you despite you being an anon like me.

Anyhow, all I'm saying is that no bender can create something from nothing as they are not gods, and this includes firebenders. See your last sentence. The other thing I was saying is that all elements have good and bad sides (not just fire). The follow up to that (which I didn't mention because I thought it was more obvious than it was) is that the reason why fire was seen as anger and hatred was because of how the Firenation had created a culture of misusing it, just as they were setting the balance of the world out of order. I imagine there is also probably still some of that left over in LOK from the days when the Firenation was an empire, although I suspect there is much less firebending with anger now as a whole.

As for energy and heat, they are closely related but slightly different. Heat is something energy produces. Energy is simply a force that allows the capacity for work. Energy actually goes under energy bending because energy isn't necessarily fire related. Heat would go under firebending though.
