>>406>Is this a predisposed interestYes, I say as much in this thread, I think. I am a religious studies minor.
>do you only care about how Homestuck utilized those themesMoreover, I will also repeat that "given its premise, its not really a stretch." The best way, in my head, would be direct and obvious references to specific mythos and a vague hero's journey parallel (which I would use as a sort of meta way to gripe about perennialism but I digress.)
There are things in the comic proper which I don't consider good religious symbolism, it's just pretty unarguably there. Some of the more obscurant shit can be argued but it runs into "It has literally no other reason to exist other than that". For example, specific things like Dave's dreamself and waking self both being awake at the same time is a fairly obscure alchemical reference. Part of why I know that was "it" was because the fans were really invested in the alchemy shit at the time and talked up a storm about it on the forums- I unfortunately have no evidence for this. I wonder why Hu¢¢ie nuked the forums with no given reasoning or forewarning.

It's also a fixation of the fandom and much of what I say either minimizes or debunks overarching religious interpretations.
It should be noted that we went into the comic with a turntechGodhead doing the time travel Holy Trinity PI thing being vaguely layed out. Nothing about ninjas or paradox clones or the giant skeleton's rainbow robe being vored by his conjoined ghost sister. Just that, "something something creation mythos", and The Sims * an adventure game, basically. Even alchemicalisms, Homestuck's most interesting part, were an emergent property.
To surmise, I don't put much stock in Homestuck's religious allusions as they are (they come and go), and I think my version would stay away from time travel for the most part and world religions (again, only mythos)
Also, only vaguely related to all this is that Hu¢¢ie should have realized he seriously
