Very good points. I liked both stories.

Congratulations on your successful surgery. Be blessed and take your time.

There is much to comment on with everything you wrote. So, I will pick on a couple items:

>A few verses in the Bible?
I found a website claiming 25 verses on the AC. And they are all bad.

You said something a while ago that I've thought about - if I don't like my own story then there's a problem. So, write what you want. But you also taught me to keep audience in mind. I try to do that BUT I at the core of my Tribe story is something which will possibly piss off large swaths of Christendom. I plan to write about it anyway!

> This opens up a world of discussions. It's that what you want?
Heck yes!!! Who wouldn't want their story to generate a lot of discussion?

:-) Oops, you're right, let me rephrase that! You brought up the possibility as to whether or not God created homosexuality. Why then create religions that oppose it? Judaism and Islam violently oppose it. Some Christians have also done the same. The thesis is that God possibly made a homosexual gender. That might turn people off.

I admit that I like the bisexual mix. I can see the AC doing heterosexual behavior outside of marriage and homosexual behavior. The Christ did neither. So, both the AC's actions are anti-Christ. I believe Left Behind has the AC getting a woman pregnant. And I've heard it taught that the AC was homosexual. But you mix it together. Interesting.

>>He's also pissed off that Satan raped his mother for sport so Connor could be conceived, which is what ultimately seals Satan's fate.
I'm of the opinion that the AC is so corrupt/evil/vile that he doesn't give a rip about his mother. Again, this is anti-Christ since Jesus loved His mother to the point of telling John to take care of her when He was on the cross. You take the Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker approach. There's some good inside there somewhere. That could be a tough row to hoe.

And of course, I'm taking this as close to what I believe as I can. And your story is your story. That overrides my opinions. However, I think many people will get turned off. It's hard for me to differentiate Connor with the AC I've expected.

I'll try answering more later...

The spacetime gash allows the path to be seen which I was aiming for. Lasers, lightning bolts cannot be seen without debris or whatever. And I don't know how light sabers work. I'm not really sure what a light saber is! The gash allows you to decrease the power by whatever you want as it progresses. Linear decrease, inverse square? Who cares since it's all made up and you can be consistent about it. The ships can now calculate how much blast hits the targets based on distance. They might want to get just a little bit closer... or further away. Have fun rewriting!

How about firing a lightning bolt or a positron bolt (antielectron)? People see lightning storms regularly, so they won't wonder too much about the physics. If the electron and positron bolts collide at the target, then gamma rays are emitted. Bad.

This is a little similar to Star Trek's photon torpedoes that were composed of antimatter hitting matter and gamma rays were emitted.

But I think we only see lightning bolts because of the atmosphere heating up. Hmm. There would have to be debris in space which might be doable if you're a planet... I guess.

I'm impressed with your creativity with all this. But I'm still thinking about it. Not everything is warm and fuzzy for me.

1. If Jesus left his glorified body behind to become a man, then perhaps so can Eve. In Philippians 2:7 it says that He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave. Angles can look like regular people. So, why not Eve? In fact, Satan might say "That really looks like Eve but there's no glory on her. It can't be her."
2. Can you use Adam and Eve's children instead of Adam and Eve? These, obviously, are the children never mentioned in the Bible and there isn't consensus on how many they did have. Adam lived a LONG time and I don't know how many children he had.
3. Be careful since it can sound New-Age-Ish if you're sharing people's souls.

Oops. Sorry guys. I might have messed up on my neutron cannon thesis, so I deleted the posts.

Ever hear of the triple point? From Wiki:

In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.

With this in mind...
Can you create a triple point or quad point for your weapon to operate at? The degenerate-plasma-quark state blast smashes into the shield. All of those are listed as states of matter. It's strictly made up! I'm combining different states of matter with triple point.

My goodness! That's very interesting. I'll have to think about that. Can the exception for Lombardi/Eve be that she's a woman? Perhaps the original contract was for men and angels who are male.
