"It is possible to present me with an alternate version of Asmodeus, such that I lift my head in contempt and say I would not serve such a god of Lawful Evil.  If He had been Zon-Kuthon, for example."

"The hypothetical Asmodeus who cares anything at all for torture even if serves not one of His other ends, as if He had been a little like Zon-Kuthon but still had His other goals and natures, is not one I hold in contempt.  He would simply be paying costs now and then to have more torture happen, not on blind instinct torturing someone a little even if that ruined all His other goals.  That is how He is with respect to tyranny, slavery, compacts, pride, they are, from His perspective, the thing that having plans is for."

"The issue here is that you did not think clearly inside your hypothetical and decided with worrying speed inside it that such an Asmodeus could not be good enough for you.  If you are that hasty in half-formed judgments I think you will end up too far from our Lord in spirit to present Him with an acceptable new Hell, and quite possibly fall into heresy outright."

"You have flown very high and very far, and I think there is starting to be in you some of the recklessness that you saw in Asmodia.  Do you recall her remedy?"
