Well done. But there *are* fundamentalists who strongly object to any
involvement with "unreal worlds", and many fantasy writers (and, like as not,
conlangers) have suffered from early encounters with them, particularly
in their own families. We had a rash of postings some years ago about
people who burned their conlangs under such influence.
My opinion, for what it is worth, is that such sentiments expose with
stunning clarity who does, in fact, and who does not believe in a Creator
God in Whose image we are made.
