Because I'm indecisive and pessimistic, yeah? I'm not sure how it'll turn out (which is why the Writer's Board exists). I certainly didn't wanna paint Lucy weaker than his enemy, so I didn't know if it was the right choice to give him a more human side. That lends to the "lonely, sympathetic figure" I was alluding to, but lowers his status as an equal to God.

Instead I emphasized God's irrationality, recklessness, and distant aspects (common human flaws) from a human aspect.
