To my agreement that everything is natural, Samael quips:

Wrongo. I never stated that any act is allowed, just because it's natural. Only rational action is enjoined by my ethics, i.e. what is objectively conducive to my purposes. The purposes, and incidently reason itself, are basically a result of my evolutionary (both biological and cultural) heritage.
The question is not "what is natural?" but "what is reasonable?" (and I don't just mean "polite").
