“Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

I think I’d prefer to read Dick’s half-mad, recursive ramblings than Shorri’s for entertainment. Then I’ll look to the Bible and Godly men for truth.
As I recall, according to the Hindus the world is actually Brahma's dream, and when he wakes, the world will end.
Look at modern Episcopal theology then go look at Satan’s three temptations to Eve in Genesis 3. Notice something? They don’t call him the great deceiver for nothing.
Wait, ain't that one o' them thar oxymoron thingies?
Ping. The presiding priestess’s address at Union is garnering some discussion here, and I didn’t see where you all had been pinged yet.
The New World Order feminazi heretic Katharine Jefferts-Schori (NWOFHKJS?) is no theologian, and is totally un-original. She just lifts the concept of “the dream of God” from the “progressive Christian” horde, especially Marcus Borg:

Another member of the “dream of God” crowd is the lesbian Episcopal activist Susan Russell. The way that I heard of the “dream of God” was that the ELCA propaganda magazine “The Lutheran” had an article by Borg a few months ago. It figures.
What is the progresives’ so-called “dream of God?” It is a world of “social justice”, which we are called to help build. If that is all that God is about, then Barabbas was right, and Jesus was wrong. But Jesus rejected the role of social revolutionary, went to the Cross, died for our sins, conquered death and Satan, and will come again to bring a new heaven and a new earth. It is God who builds His Kingdom, not us. And the “kingdom” that the progressives want to buiid is not God’s Kingdom, but the brutal, tyrannical New World Order!!!!
I wonder sometimes if there is anybody else out there who recognizes the significance of spiritual gifts, the discernment of them as opposed to worldly institutions which are made by man, rather than those which are divinely established.
