    The last few paragraphs betray the author’s intent — and the scale of their misapprehensions.

        I wonder what the author thinks of Christians depicted in fiction. Are they all to be considered heretics for worshipping their god instead of their actual creator, the all-powerful writer?

        The writer-as-god concept isn’t original, but the sheer level of egotism it embodies makes me think this author is an aspirational fiction writer trying to break through rather than a deeply deluded person struggling to reconcile TV fiction with their understanding of psychology, philosophy, and theology.

          The author’s premise that everyone is a god leads me to believe they have a different religious background than judeo-christian monotheism.
