That picture has always upset me, not just because it's pulling a blatant joke on the God I worship, but because it's misinterpreting the very thing it's talking about.
Man, I usually avoid religious stories, but they way you approached this is interesting. I don't follow any religion, but I do love the mythology and the history behind them, and you seem to have it all figured out. But I have a few gripes/questions.
Why does the Bible get to be a book while the Torah and the Quran are scrolls?
Also, you gave the impression right from the start that this was going focused on the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam,) which is a good place to draw the line that you spoke of, so I don't understand the addition of Hercules. It just seems very out of place, since he's from a polytheistic religion that really has no ties at all to the other three.
1568830 That is a very good question. I pondered about it, and I have it figured out that the Pantheon, while being real, are really under the Abrahamic God. It's complicated, but I will get into it in the next chapter. It's confusing, I know, but I may take it out depending on how people take it. Sorry for the confusion
Oooooh! This gon' be good! I can see so many awesome things coming from this. A battle with Samson, Rainbow Dash and Gabriel vs. Cain, Discord, and the Whore of Babylon, or a clop scene where King Nimrod and Queen Chrysalis mate and produce a race of changeling-giants to conquer Equestira.
I predict many thrills and lulz from this story. Do not disappoint me!
You know, this is the kind of story I see in the new tab and from the premise alone I expect it being downvoted to oblivion. I have faith in you, don't disappoint me!
1568830 I neglected to answer your other question. Upon research, I found that the Torah is typically a scroll, and it is in that form which is used in synagogues. Also, I found that the Quran is more often than not a scroll as well, though I could be wrong with the Quran. Glad I could clear that up.
Whelp, can't be worse than that idiot who somehow got an EQD feature with OCs that were horrible beings in entirety. No, seriously, he had a theocracy 'elsewhere' on planet Equis, with space ships for their ambassidors, who insulted Celestia to her face the moment they got off the ship. And I recall a burning cross was in the (self-dawn) cover art. And he wrote Celestia raping Rainbow Dash out of nowhere (and a plot point). And Fluttershy becoming a Calvinist, exactly as like in a Chick Tract (ie: after 1 conversation of blatant propaganda).
Fer the record, I'm an Atheist, so trying to put the Abrahamic cults into Equestria triggers my "Are-you-fucking-kidding-me"ometer. One fic that adapted religion well into Equestria is The Book of Friendship, with "ambigiously gay mormon ponies." That one is funny as hell.
But, all the other religious fics (specifically abrahamic; There are a few that address one/both of the Sisters in a religious context, they tend to score better) I cannot recall individually, as they all ended up blurring together into generic afore-mentioned "Chick Tract With Ponies" drivel.
As long as you are prepared for the onslaught of religious based rantings that this fic is sure to insight......then I encourage you to continue with a word of caution when you make address to the Islamic/Muslim prophet Muhammad. You know how defensive this religion can be when it comes to their belief.
As I am agnostic in my religious alignment, I find this very interesting and enjoy the concept this fic may produce. Then again I love anything controversial in nature. Keep at it!
HAs this even been submitted yet?

you need to give more details on the reason of the war.

1569342 Okay, the part with Chrysalis made me laugh. Hard. You sir have a sense of humor!
This has serious potential. The subject matter is untread upon, and intriguing.
But you have issues with show, don't tell, and your pacing is way too fast.
1569427 I know. I'm surprised too
A fic where god comes down and kicks equestria's ass?
Sign me up.

I, too, am a Catholic, and have no idea why I'm actually interested in this, nor why I feel that way when I feel like I shouldn't.
Yeah, I'm on.
I'm agnostic and this is 100% pure gold! FAV!
