@the-fledgling-artist I agree. Sometimes we have to make hard choices but after all it’s all for His glory.
@daeus-lamb I’m not necessary thinking of idolatry. Though that could be a problem too. I’m more concerned about if we should portray God in a made up world at all. Like Ashira said, to me that would be dangerous ground to walk on. This might be very personal. Some might feel comfortable with this and some not. But how would you portray God in a fantasy world?
@valtmy Yes, having a clear difference between good and evil is definitely importrant! 😊I agree with your first point. After all, Jesus compared himself to a good shepherd.
@ashira I agree with everything you just said. I´ve stopped writing fantasy for that same reason. And also because I noticed that every book I read is his-fic haha. So I really want to write historical fiction as well! 😊
@ncstokes I agree! After all, the book of Esther doesn’t mention God but you can still feel His pressence in it.
