    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.
