I'll probably be shit on for asking this, but for those of you that follow a particular faith, do you ever write things that would be seen as against it?
For example, if you believed in some deity, would you feel strange to write about a setting where that deity doesn't exist, or is killed by some other deity or even man?
I think it would be far more interesting to explore corollary aspects of that deity in fiction... For example, some people believe in religious gifts (I.e. 'Fruits of the Spirit", etc.) and it would be compelling to examine the peripheral elements of religious experience throughout history.
Lovecraft appears to have constructed an interesting method of doing this. His atheistic notion of 'cosmic indifference' is always maintained, to some hindrance, I'd argue.
Yes. Just to piss off my parents and colleagues.
It doesn't necessarily feel strange for me, partly because I was formerly an agnostic, but, there are some parts where you feel like, "Oh, does this count as heresy?"
