Little known fact:
Because the Judo-Christian god is named
God, his name is the only use of
god as a proper noun. In short, gods in other religions are not referred to as
Gods. It's literally impossible to make the name
God plural, because there is only one character known as God. There are a number of characters referred to as gods, but only one denotes the capitalization. So, breaking this down in a literary sense, saying "Alex's God is Odin" makes no sense, because Alex does not own the character
God. It's only sensible if used as a Biblical metaphor, but since there are only a couple of Christians on this board, the metaphor falls on deaf ears (eyes) with this audience.

Yep! You do have to wonder, though... When are they going to finally come out with the next book?
The Holy Bible 2: The Reckoning...
LOL!
Already done.
The Bible (Underlined because all published
books are either italicized or underlined. The MLA committee demands this of all English language enthusiasts.) is actually a collection of
books. Within those books are multiple short stories. You have
the Old Testament and
the New Testament, two large collections of books which are actually large collections of short stories (written in generally arhythmic verse) related to the motifs of those books. Throughout both collections, there is an over-arching plot: the character God's interaction with his creations. Naturally, the reoccurring theme of "mankind is horribly depraved" and the initial (and early) zeitgeist of the Edenic Paradigm were common before and after, and are actually some of the most frequently used concepts in contemporary fiction.
The end of this over-arching plot can be found within the
Book of Revelations. This is a prophetic vision of the character John of how the world ends--and that's it. The world ends. That's how the story ends. You can't really make another set of stories taking place later on when you've physically put an end to the world on which those stories take place.
It's fitting, though. You start the story by creating the world, then you conclude the story by ending the world in the most epic way you can.
I wasn't influenced by this at all.
Nope. No way, no how. Not even remotely influenced.
In fact, to suggest that there is underlying Biblical philosophy and allusions in every story I write (both short story and RP) would just be
silly.
tl;dr version: I know more about Biblical philosophy than anyone else on this side of the internet's roleplay forums, and I only see both books of
the Holy Bible as fictional
stories. The above is just me showing off.
tl;dr version of the entire post: You've all been defeated on a collegiate level. Nayt wins again.
