Notes from our talk
Bill Kaufmann author American is a rootless culture
Church of God Anderson
Political commentary
WFLA in Orlando 93.1 540 AM Iheart media radio station
Neighbor’s choice God desires mercy not sacrifice
Program for people who are tired of group think, scapegoat ping pong
Slaying sacred cows
Jesus is the true atheist of our time
The gods of our time are government, ideology, politics for our salvation
Imitate the person of Jesus in a tangible way
12 Rules for Life, did an interview with Jordan Peterson
Jordan Peterson is a gateway drug to studying the scriptures
Follower of Ron Paul
Humans need role models to get them animated
David Bentley Hart’s politics
Rene Girard
The memetic theory
A way of unifying the social sciences into a unified perspective
Pattern by studying the great works of western literature
Slaying the father every time we come to a text. The text has no father.
All the great texts have similar patterns.
How they show human conflict arising. He saw meaning throughout of it.
A triangular nature of desire.
Our objects of desire are because our neighbors have them
We desire our neighbor’s being.
Human beings are wired to imitate at a level greater than any other species
Chimpanzees will imitate on a basic level. The children would go through the ritual to get the treat.
Imitation source of our beauty and evil
Imitate when it comes to rivalry and envy and jealousy
Gossip spreads the contagion.
Humans were often in conflict over the same person.
At some point the object disappears and they become obsessed with one-upping their neighbor
You can see it with childhood skirmishes.
Loony tunes demonstrates Girard
The Avengers, Superhero stories and movies are a vestige of ancient mythologies+
There is the one and the many
When you have a community caught up in rivalry
Take it out on a third party
Place the blame on another
We can unify through blame
Pastors are professional scapegoats
Scapegoats have a paradoxical insider and outsider status
If they’re totally different you can’t blame them
Channel some of the localness into the sacrifice
Eating the food of the local community in order to sacrifice them.
Mock king sacrifice and then sacrificed
Think about the origins of this. There needs to be a way of effectively channeling that imitation in a safe way when it’s necessary.
Mark of Lamech
You have to find a way to resolve that. An arbitrary difference to make it stand out
We don’t want imitation until we lose our sense of self, why we hate the imitation game
Trump
Maintenance of a sense of order again.
When a community kills together and there is catharsis, the power of mementic group think
The founding murder of human anthropology
Satan was a murderer from the beginning. How can the accuser cast out the accuser.
We divinize our victims
