Cathy Ross replied to Derek S Murphy's discussion 'Need a name for a novel about the Antichrist saving humanity from God.'"Hmm, I think if you actually end up using "The Bible: Part II", you're going to draw a lot of attention from big, ugly churchies with lawsuits (unless you're not in America, in which case - go for it!).

I'm working on an epic novel divided into a series - the working title is "The Bible, Part II". It's basically "Left Behind" but with the antichrist as the protagonist who fights back against God's invasions and finds a way to save humanity. However, while the content will eventually lead to a harsh criticism of faith (in the book, Christianity is a complex breeding system to produce meek and humble slaves for an alien race), I'd rather not show all my cards with such an outlandish…See More

Derek S Murphy commented on LovelyGirl's blog post 'I'm not a Christian Anymore'"Excellent post; growing past your limited beliefs does not mean you've found truth nor should it - you continue on your path and do the best you can.

I played on the roof, I played on the outside of the walls, I climbed up the support beams. I wasn’t inclined to be restricted by the ‘right’ way to interact with the space set out for me.
