Theodicy deals with the eternal question of why bad things happen to good people and, more specifically, why a good, just, all-knowing, and all-powerful God could allow evil to exist. Philip K. Dick's novel Valis debates the question from many angles, because the narrator and/or his alter ego, Horselover Fat, is obsessed with and knowledgeable about world religions and philosophies.
