What PKD Teaches Us About God

[@EliTriesToBeFunny]

Nice to see you getting some more recognition

[@Clickle]

Yes. Yes it is.

Something that the Bible teaches is that God is a real person. Your best friend is neither completely objective nor subjective. They have objective characteristics and traits, but their relationship with you is subjective in the sense that they might treat you differently than a stranger. This is how many Christians think of God as having real, unchanging traits, but also wanting to have a personal relationship with us.

You missed two major films based off Dick that most people miss. The Adjustment Bureau and Inception. There are quite a few more smaller films too. I don't think there is a writer out there with more movies based off their books. I am an evangelical Christian. I wonder if Dick wasn't supposed to be a prophet but spent his whole life running from God. His exegesis is a wild read.

[@TheCassinus]

Maybe "running from" isnt the right phrase. Pursuing a god of his own understanding instead of understand the God pursuing him.

I had no idea that Inception was based off of PKD’s work, that’s pretty awesome. Also in regards to Dick’s calling being a prophet, many people have said that Sci-fi often acts as a sort of psuedo-prophecy, so you might be on to something there. It has been said a few times that Dick’s novels ‘predict the future’ in regards to societal and technological advancements, so who knows…

Looks like someone’s found his niche: commentary/casual discussion.
