How did this come about, did you not instigate it? Since I haven't put any work out yet I haven't experienced anyone reaching out to me yet.

Not necessarily, it depends on how you handle most of it and what the ending ultimately says. If the story focuses on the morality of the God and the messiah but is one-sided and edgy it could be cringe. I could see people putting it down if they have any misgivings about that. Make the point more subtle if that really is your point though.
I'm reminded of Paradise Lost, which I greatly enjoyed even though I disagree with Milton's alleged idea of Lucifer being heroic. I actually doubted what most writers and academics said about Milton's point of it was, since the depiction of the Son and the Father used patristic theology, albeit ridiculing papism for those that consider that patristic. Academics evidence of lines alleging Unitarian theology seemed like non-sequitirs to me. Lucifer was constantly depicted as embodying well documented heresies and delusions that made him completely unflattering. Unless I'm just retarded, I think Milton did a good job of forming a cool story around Christian mythos while allowing the reader to judge for themselves.

In that same spirit, I think moral gray area allows the reader to question who they think the real God or authority is. I'd say that's more interesting because it leaves a question hanging for a while. Let your story's conflicts put your characters to the test.
