Is it Paulson’s book or Faber’s?
Sorry about switching the names. I corrected it.
Sounds like an interesting read.
The truth is that religion is not transportable to true aliens. What do you say to beings that are immortal for instance?
Or beings that customarily eat almost all their young and most of their friends and relatives just to survive? Sure you change them over to the local equivalent of vegetarians and all the ones on your special diet die. Now what?
I think you’d enjoy this book, and you’re right that this is wildly speculative, like your two examples. If you like historic fantasy, you’ll enjoy Lars’ book on Erling Skjalgsson. The most recent one, Hailstone Mountain, has immortal beings in it.
