God and Film

“Why wouldn’t God speak through (some) film? He owns everything. As someone once said, ‘There isn’t a secular molecule in the universe.’

Besides, we are no longer an agrarian civilisation. Why would a smart God speak through the stars as he once did, at a time when the sky was our ‘global point of reference’. It’s not that season anymore.

Now in the urban age, if the Star of Bethlehem appeared in the sky, we wouldn’t get it. We would simply see it as an astronomical event on the news.

But having rebuilt our Tower of Babel through telecommunication and transportation, our global constellation of cities now share in a largely unified culture which drinks daily from the well of media-driven pop culture. It would be absurd to think God would not exploit this.”
