Storyline & Inspiration

The storyline for Diahgo is influenced by various aspects of religious theology, most prominently different forms of Christianity and Rosicrucian teachings.

That's not to say that I am religious in any way (I am not) but I happened to stumble upon some interesting aspects of 'recognised' religion and the occult and thought blending aspects of the two (using a dash of imagination!) might make for an interesting story.

Conversely, I also had in the back of my mind the notion of a decline in religious followers and beliefs owing to a rise in science and technology, and this will be one of the key tenants of the Diahgo manga.

Agnosticism, theism and atheism will also play an important role for several major characters.

I'll try and give some specific examples of inspiration in later posts.
