It’s not all the difficult to see what inspired Dolores Dei, given that most of us have at least a passing familiarity with Christianity. Even in just this one dialogue option with all of its offshoots, a deeply rich and conflicting tapestry unfolds about the duality of religion as both as source of inspiration or a machine for progress, and as a weapon to be wielded against dissenters.
I am agnostic in my daily life, but I am always fascinated and engrossed by the subject of faith. What do people choose to believe in? Why do they subscribe to those beliefs? How do those beliefs inform the way they live their lives? They way those three questions play off of each other, and how people respond to them, can give you a clear picture of who they are.
And we’ve just hit a spiritual gold mine here.
