Greg, if you want to revive Gargoyles, you should probably stop quit with stuff that could offend the worlds major religions. Like for instance:
1)You said humans were using a variation of the gargoyle "Ashes to ashes or dust to dust" at their funerals.
This was a biblical reference to humans being created from the dust of the Earth, and a lot of people take everything the Bible says at face value. (I don't but I know people who do.
2)You once said the the Gargoyles Universe is ruled by fate, and God knows everything that will happen. This is a common religious mistake, God knows everything that COULD happen, not what WILL happen. Or at least thats what most ministers would say if you asked them.
Greg responds...
1. I stand by what I wrote.
2. I don't think I ever said that exactly. But I also disagree with your assessment of what "ministers would say". God knowing the future doesn't negate free will. God knows everything. The way you now know how, say, the X-Men movie ends. Doesn't mean that the creators of that movie didn't have free will, just because at some point in the future it would already be a done deal. The fact that God isn't bound by time the way we are, doesn't mean he hasn't granted us the gift of free will. I think most ministers would agree with me on this topic. Nearly all, in fact.
And generally, I doubt I've "offended the world's major religions" ever, let alone often. I'm certainly not worried about ministers preventing me from making the show again.
