The one cannot be separated from the other as it is merely an extension and offshoot of the source. Those things which the one wants and does are ultimately part and parcel of the things and plans that the other wants and does. Classic yin yang bullshit. Remember, ancient near -EASTERN- myth. Go a little farther afield and you'll be able to find gods and demigods that aren't part of each other, and actively fucking hate each other. This particular myth (the judeo-christian one) is just gaslighting writ large. Celestial division of labor. Ultimately, in the narrative, everyone (you..me, the devil and uncle Bob) is working for the same firm.
A touch verbose, but yes, I'm in agreement.
