Philip K Dick
Solitary and peripatetic in his tour of Auschwitz , Benedict XVI asks "why, Lord, have tolerated this?" Not long after, the Archbishop of Valencia , in his homily for the victims of the recent accident Pontifex Maximus paraphrases and cry at the same sky "Where God was at that time? " And is that being Catholic is not what it was. Now you can become pope or prelate and doubt. is a warm July day and 307 Lactantius, Christian apologist profession has literally had a day of shit. The sandals you bought two summers ago suddenly have said enough and have disintegrated. A real tragedy given the state found the streets of Constantinople at this time. And it is by looking at his feet stained with shameful and unspeakable substances when our friend lactic raised for the first time without knowing the problem 1403 years after the Leibniz called theodicy : Does this not contradict the existence of God the world a place so unfair?
Because Lactantius argued , or God willing to prevent evil but is unable to do so (which would send to hell His omnipotence) or you can stop it but do not want (then God is evil!) Or perhaps neither want nor can (even worse, a God bad and weak!) Or want and can do, which is refuted by the very existence of evil a mess. This also came to say what Camus much later when publicly doubted the existence of a deity who allowed the suffering of children. But then, he said in French and so who would not take you seriously. Tan
tricky problem fixed it Gnostics argue that the world was not created by the almighty and loving God we have recorded a fire (to some) from small but a minor deity, a Demiurge wicked and playful invented imperfection and matter. However Gnosticism turned out to be like the Beta format of religions: It was better than VHS of orthodox Christianity, but the latter eventually prevailed for strictly commercial reasons.
In February 1974, Philip K Dick claimed to have referred briefly to his own eyes the Demiurge (call Palmer Eldritch, call it VALIS). Nobody paid much attention. How to do it. His history of paranoia and imbalances was already extensive. Especially considering that this day was coming, and no joke, the dentist. Of the many phenomena that thereafter said to be experiencing Dick said to lead a double life as himself and as a Christian persecuted by Romans in the first century named Thomas . The Empire never fell. Contain his laughter: Dick acquired the gift of Xenoglossy and abductions could speak ancient Greek, a language he had never studied.
now go back to July 2006, Newcastle where Linda Walker wakes up after a myocardial . The initial joy of their families is transformed into stupefaction to hear her speak. "This is not my Linda," said his brother, "sounds like one of those asylum seekers. "And is that the poor suffer the Foreign Accent Syndrome and now speaks a strange mix of Jamaican, Canadian and Slovakian. Linda, as happened to Dick, says it has lost its identity and recognize that cost itself. Perhaps something happened to Ratzinger at the gates of Auschwitz, lonely, sorrowful, dressed in white.
