  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have brainstormed a religious novel series to write and I have a problem with it.

The main idea is about a character who's true first name hasnt been determined, but one of his names is Vixroy.

He is a being who appears to be human but wakes up in a crazy situation and suffers amnesia in the beginning.

After much story into it, he finds out in secret documents found in Jerusalem hidden away long ago in an unreadable language to mortal eyes. He is able to read it, and is thought to have divine eyes and essentially be the return of the Christ, though it is found out later that he is not.

This is not determined in my timeline or brainstorming but right now,he is either (a)a genetically-engineered clone of Him, or (b) he was a creation that predated Adam who was the proto-christ; a rejected shell created by God to house the Christ's spirit.

I know this is definitly heresy but it would make a pretty good story. If this ever got published, I would definitly put a disclaimer or warning first disproving the ideas presented in the story.

Should I write it or should I not?

Efharisto!

Dear Niko Spielberg, :D

I'd say better leave the Lord out of the products of your imagination. There is so much very real stuff about Him that you can bother your mind with, that your life will be too short for all of it! Why don't you write crime stories and be the new Agatha Christie instead? :D

Parakalo :).
