Death takes on an apprentice who's an individual thinker.
[T]here are still people today who, seeking to rebel from being under the commandment, walk by their own will and say, "Uprightness is not 'not doing evil' to anyone, but this is Uprightness: to treat well the good ones and to treat badly the evil ones, as God will also do on the day of judgment and on the day of admonition."... [But] God commanded neither the oppressed nor the oppressors to sin against each other.... [I]f someone says, "I am imitating God who requites the unjust," this is more evil.... Do you, then, want to become a judge of God? In that case, become a creator like him and make by yourself a heaven and an earth where there is no Lord; and create by yourself human beings where no power of the omnipotent Lord exists. Do good to the good ones and treat badly the evil ones when you have become the Eternal and the Not Made and have become without the law like him.
