One other observation regarding the many-faced god and its acolytes/assassins: that god requires the complete annihilation of identity, where I would argue the God of the Christian faith gives us our true identity, which becomes increasingly distinct the closer we draw to this God and the more like the Son we become. This distinctiveness of identity also doesn't remove the need for community, but makes it even more vital.
This is great--as usual.

yes, yes, yes!
This is so fun! I love when we can look at fiction and come back seeing our world and our faith more clearly.
