I want to add a note about my story.
Frank in my story gathers some devoted followers around him to teach them some religious principles and practices. There are others, possibly many others, doing the same. What he is teaching agrees in some ways, and disagrees in some ways, with each of the others. Sometimes he uses stories to illustrate the principles and practices he's promoting, like the moral lessons in fables and fairy tales. Think of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," "Little Red Riding Hood," "The Three Little Pigs," and "Hansel and Gretel." He puts himself into some of the stories, like "Calming the Storm," "Loaves and Fishes," "The Figless Fig Tree," and "Undead Frank." He repeats the same sayings and stories many times in many ways, in private lessons with his followers and in public talks, and they repeat them many times to other people.
