““Vorbind acum din punct de vedere teologic - şi spusele mele ar trebui ascultate, căci eu vorbesc rareori ca teolog -, Dumnezeu însuşi a fost cel care s-a aşternut la pământ sub chipul şarpelui la capătul zilei sale de creaţie sub pomul cunoaşterii; astfel s-a recreat, şi-a împrospătat el forţele pentru a fi Dumnezeu... Făcuse totul prea frumos... Diavolul este doar lenevia lui Dumnezeu în acea zi a şaptea...””

Friedrich Nietzsche
