"How far must a man have travelled towards the light to unleash such bloody violence upon another?" the priest questioned as he dabbed his perspiring forehead with his kerchief.
I was answer a random, probably pointless survey earlier for another writer and one of the questions that popped up was this:
"What do you think about all day?"
Now I suspect this particular survey was geared toward a writer of erotica, sometimes it feels like that includes just about every indie-author on the planet, and so I believe my response to this question may have been of little use.
What was my response? Fantasy and Sci-Fi and I suspect my kind of fantasy with dragons, wizards and such like isn't the hand-cuffs, whips and nipple clamps kind the poser of the questionnaire might have been looking for.
However, it's true if I'm not thinking about ideas for my current works-in-progress, like the sequel to George and the Dragon, then I'm probably thinking up new ideas for new works,
The above is the encapsulation of an idea that's been floating around in my head for ages. It stems from this:
Lucifer
Means "bringing light", derived from Latin lux "light" and ferre "to bring". In Latin this name originally referred to the morning star, Venus, but later became associated with the chief angel who rebelled against God's rule in heaven (see Isaiah 14:12). Even later it became associated with Satan himself.
So if the bringer of light is associated with Satan himself then surely light is a representation of temptation. Much a moth is drawn to a flame mortal man can also be tempted by the light.
It is therefore better to live one's life darkness.
Obviously this is just an author's mind at play but I love the fact with just a slight change, and it could be argued a plausible change, to current Christian thinking you could still have a religion in a fictional work based on the similar belief set but with just one slight difference.
It maybe something I work into a future volume in some way or another, and I have an idea about how to do it, but who knows that particular tome may never get written.
Like I said at the start my thoughts are quiet often random.
