What does Nietzsche mean when he says: I love him who chastises his God because he loves his God: for he must perish by the anger of his God.
An excellent question! Nietzsche here I believe is talking to ancient Hebrew sceptics who cited suffering as a reason God could not exist. This passage simply explains that actions are not without consequence. God is forgiving, but we are his children and he will discipline us as a parent.

To assume that is true one would have to assume that a path to freedom is desirable and therefore a goal to pursue.
