Let's drop Doug into the nonsense that was the Spider-man clone wars and Ben Reily. Spider Man being the clone. No it was Ben who was the clone. The death of Aunt May Parker and the revelation that Norman Osbourne was the one behind the clone wars to begin with and wasn't really dead, he was just buried alive. The kidnapping and apparent murder of Spider-Man's and Mary J's baby girl May. Finding out that the Aunt May who died was an actress hired by Norman.
Hmm. Maybe that's a bit too wacky for even Doug to deal with.
The Parsina line of books by Stephen Goldin might be a better choice.
I don't know if Bob has read the Dragonlance saga. Paladine/Fizban would eventually win Doug's respect.
"The balance has been restored. You think that good should win and sweep all evil away? There was a time when good held dominion. It was right before the Great Cataclysm. Surprised? The Kingpriest of Ishtar was a good man. We cried for the innocent. We cried for the guilty, but the world had to be prepared for her (Tahkis) coming. And so, we sent the flaming mountain."
The War of Souls trilogy had Paladine give up his diety status to save all mortals, both good and evil, from Tahkis
I think Doug would have REAL problems with the Towers of High Sorcery and their insistence on all mages following their creed.
