So much blood has been spilled in the bible's name I'm surprised people will even admit to being Christian.

Yeah, they'll need to move on from being a biblical christian to direct revelation. How 'bout it, Drich, Lek and the rest?

Christianity needs a new origin story.

Then they can come up with a new ending.

All the stuff in the middle needs a lot of work, too.

Apart from that, it's fine.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Once upon a time the universe started to exist and billions of years late the Earth solar system formed.

Then came life.

The end . . . ?

Quite true.

I was actually thinking of using Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber. Far fewer contradictions, and no stipulations on food or sex.

Remakes are so passé. We do re-imaginings now.

The bible reloaded: This time it's personal.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
