Welcome to part one of four of the
official author’s blog of the dystopic novel, Tombstone
Philosophy. The reason for these blogs is so that you, the reader,
can get the opportunity to peek inside the author’s mind with the
thought process and chronicling of this novel’s creation.
For those of you not familiar with
Tombstone Philosophy, it is an eBook written by Bryan Miller about a
world where the United States is being governed by a twisted
incarnation of the Catholic Church, and of a group of freedom
fighters whose goal is the return of separation of church and state
by any means necessary.
The reason why I wrote a book on such a
sensitive subject, is because I wanted to explore the dangers of
church and state with a worst-case dystopic scenario, similar to
George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four with his exploring the dangers
of communism and the scenario of an utter takeover in Britain’s
fictional Oceania. There aren’t too many medium that dare play on
the topic of religion, but to me, the writer, a story’s a story, no
matter what its content consists of.
Tombstone Philosophy is a book that
depicts the corruption of even the most reputable of religion
organizations, and of its corruption (and the reader’s view of that
corruption) going as far as I dare through the depths of my
imagination. It’s a book where the reader can have different
interpretations on its plot elements, whether you’re in favor of
the anarchist Crusaders and their mission to free the country from
the Church’s grip on it, or the Catholic Church, whose actions
saved the country from itself and ushered it into a new era of order
created by its new leader, Pope Alexander IX.
While there are works of fiction that
describe the lower echelons of the Catholic Church of their
wickedness, with Tombstone Philosophy I wanted to go straight for the
source and make the Holy Father himself be the main antagonist of our
story.
Keep in mind that I, the author of
Tombstone Philosophy, have an absolute respect towards all religions
that respect life and that of others. In Tombstone Philosophy, it can
be viewed that the Catholic Church is a tool, and that all its
resources and influence have been taken over by a man with a twisted
belief on what is just, and how he can save the whole sinful world
from damnation.
Tombstone Philosophy is not an
anti-Catholic novel, nor is its intent to make offense of Catholic
doctrine. Tombstone Philosophy is a work of fiction, a product of my
imagination.
All I ask, reader, is that you keep an
open mind.
