User blog comment:Senjumaru Shutara/On the Subject of Character Development/@comment-26373253-20150630235130/@comment-25230922-20150701054535

The reason I opted to use the atheism comment is because it's something that is technically equatable to character development - especially when the Bible is viewed in context of its story, not its religious importance. Constantly and consistently, the bible showers its readers with how much god loves them - but then it goes on to list such things as Noah's flood, Sodom and Gommorah, Lot, etc.

I was using it purely as an example of what I was talking about in that particular section. The idea is that it's the same way with every other character - to show, not to tell.
