Books like this confuse me. A book, based on a movie, based on a book. It's like the plot of a librarians version of the movie "Victor, Victoria."

And to add to the confusion - there are editions of the original novel where they slapped the new title "Blade Runner".
Interestingly or not but the novel does not use the word Blade Runner. They added this word for the movie because it sounded "cool", but it has nothing to do with the novel. Blade runner is someone who uses rollerblades.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
