Manga, Anime, and Christianity

Whenever I read the Gospels or watch a good anime, I always wonder: is it possible for me to create a manga about Christianity? I always loved the way manga, as an art form, could conjure up so much feelings despite how difficult the subject matter is. A good example would be Fullmetal Alchemist (I'm referring to the anime; haven't read the manga), it illustrate a commentary on religion, faith, science, the nature of man, and war. It did all that without being boring! Now, that's a good anime.

Frankly, I have a rough idea of what I want to convey through manga. One thing's certain: it's explicitly christian. However, as far as I have looked, there is barely any christian manga in the market. Even if there is, it usually suck!

The following article pretty much sums up what I have to say:
