Thanks, man. xDDDDDDD Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.

But seriously, your advice is great and much appreciated! Thank you! 🙂

@daeus-lamb Ah, yes… I was thinking about that. Considering the world is kind of in an Arctic-themed area with lots of bears and seals and whatnot, a lot of what I write could kind of be interpreted as a like, Indian/Inuit-ish type theology if someone thinks that way. That’s particularly made me feel like I was walking on dangerous ground, ’cause I don’t want someone to think I’m writing about some Indian god or something. P: But then I sort of thought, well, I bet the “lion” symbolic thing from the Bible was probably because the “lion” was the most powerful creature to walk around in the Israeli region, which is probably why they associated God with that animal, and if the whole shebang were perhaps to take place in North America, would God be associated with a bear? Or whatever. xD That still doesn’t help at all, though, that’s just sort of what why brain process was, and now that I write it, it seems rather pointless. xDDD

So, I suppose I should either scrap the idea or be very careful and specific, in some ways, to what I’m referring to. Which would be the God of the Bible. Yahweh. <3 I wonder how I would go about that?

And no, the character Bear person thing didn’t die for the sins of anyone. xD Oh, but it probably should be a sacrificial death! Aha! That would point the way to God a little more so than just dying for someone, probably. Hmm. *intense brainstorming*

@ericawordsmith You’re advice is so great!! Ah, I love it, thank you. 😀 (Also, oh my word, your story sounds super cool. :O) Good stuff to think about.

@devastate-lasting The story sounds… interesting. Wouldn’t call the character a Christ-figure though, for pretty much every reason @ericwordsmith listed. I would call him a misguided, wanna-be Christ figure. xDDD Maybe the person who ends up pointing out to the character that he took the wrong path should be the Christ-figure in your story! 🙂 Especially since, while Christ is King, he didn’t assume that role while on Earth. But obviously I don’t have much experience in this department, so feel free to ignore what I say. xD
