Exactly. I fully recognize that the flaw exists within me. In reading Girard, I recognize the danger of scapegoating. Jesus taught forgiveness, and this is a practice which I never learned properly in my youth, unfortunately. The whole world could benefit from this teaching.Protestants vs. ex-Protestants.
In my defense, I will admit to sacrificing a few sacred cows on the altars of satire in my effort to make a point or three, even if that puts a few highly regarded mythological figures into lewd situations with household gods. I have a couple of elderly parents in the house who are dutifully studying their dogma at this moment, and they would be quite offended by everything I have ever written on this website, being the "good Christians" they convince themselves to be. There is more Christianity in the writings of Neville Goddard, for example, than most churches, but they would consider his books "foolish".
