Thus spake the devil unto me, once on a time: "Even God hath his hell: it is his love for man." And lately did I hear him say these words: "God is dead: of his pity for man hath God died."—ZARATHUSTRA, II., "The Pitiful."
Why, because God lets us have free will? 😂 in this scene, I like that the devil positions as a critic of God’s relationship to man among the gods.
