[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 748673, member: 4275"] Actually Jeremy, the Gnostics are the good guys :) That said, this might be a time to roll out the disclaimer from the book's introduction. "No disrespect is intended by this work toward the billions of people who draw comfort from faith. This work is a fantasy, and is meant only for entertainment purposes, not to attack or espouse a religious view of any kind. Some of the subjects dealt with in Blood and Relics may strike a nerve: the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ; the Inquisition; the Holocaust. These real events have been twisted, and cast in the light of fantasy, conspiracy, and whimsy in a fashion meant to be enjoyable to everyone. Wherever possible, care has been taken to be fair to all the world’s religions. Heroes in Blood and Relics come from all religions, venerating many different Higher Powers. Catholic Priests, Islamic Sufi, and Jewish Kabbalists walk side by side in the light." And to that list, let me add, the Gnostics! Blood and Relics is based, in part, on what I like to call "Gnostic Conspiracy Theory", the idea that Christ had children, and that those children became the great kings of Europe, from Charlemagne to King Arthur and so on. However, this is only a game, meant only to be viewed as light hearted fun. :) [/QUOTE]
