Hey!

Although it might be certainly tacky, I don’t think it’s dangerous ground. What I would say is that it’s okay to use a fictional deity of God, and he doesn’t have to be just like the God of Life. And I say this for at least one reasons. If we look at the parables in scripture, we see that Jesus uses representations of God, and they’re not just like God, they are representations to a degree. Authors have a certain amount of metaphorical creative license in this matter, and I wouldn’t worry to much about it. In doing this your beliefs about God will come through, and you can re work it. You can have friends look at it and ask their opinion.

But above all, please don’t worry about getting everything just like the God of the bible. I don’t think that’s necessary and will be harder on you than is healthy.

If you want examples of people who did this well, C.S. Lewis (yes he did 😉 ) and J.R.R. Tolkien. I’m sure there are others, but I can’t think of them at the time.
