It’s the classic situation of man railing against the gods. Makes for great literature! Rumple and Geppetto are in company with Oedipus, Milton’s Lucifer, a whole slew of others. The gods–and the Blue Fairy–do not explain themselves, they just mess with mortals’ heads. So you either take Alexander Pope’s point of view (“presume not God to scan/The proper study of mankind is man”) or you choose to rule in Hades rather than serve in heaven.
