I'm currently building a Rebuking focused Cleric who worships the concept of Control, and I'd really like to have the Initiate of Nature feat. I could get it by dipping into another Divine spellcasting class and taking one of the three deities that grant the feat as my patron deity for that class, but I checked what each of them stood for and strongly oppose two of them (I happen to like civilization) and my character can't follow the tenets of the third (a deity that forbids you from fighting... In a game about killing monsters and taking their stuff). I could take the Heretic of the Faith feat, but I'm not sure if it can cover such a gross violation of what those deities stand for (plus, I don't want to be shackled to a deity).
My Questions:
1. Are custom concepts RAW legal?
2. Can a deity refuse to be someone's patron deity? I know that they can stop granting spells, but I don't know if they can fully reject a "worshipper".
3. If the answer to question #2 is "yes", is there a way for me to "fake" being a deity's patron for the purposes of qualifying for the feat? Worshipping one of those deities and then changing deities won't work, because feats explicitly "turn off" once you stop qualifying for them.
