It is loosely based on the Jewish creation of a golem. The phrase "I create as I speak" in a way goes back to "In the beginning was the word." Also I ended it with "my precious" from the words of Tolkein's turned into a creature Golum. The book trilogy is very much religious; but the movies have brought a cult following that I hope truly understand.
