God became a man, granted. The devil became a woman.

Summary

This quote suggests a metaphorical representation of the concepts of God and the devil. It implies that God, often associated with masculinity, took on human form, while the devil, often associated with femininity, also assumed a physical presence.

It may also spark discussions on the nature of divinity, gender identity, and the nuances of societal perception and representation.
