"There's enigmatic dimensions in everything because we are human.... There's no pure-sign language that we can find. We have to tolerate a certain amount of ambiguity, a certain amount of mystery, an enigmatic heart to our language. To our being.
"Part of the 'cure' is to *embrace* that enigmatic dimension...[which] marks us all and is impossible to abolish."#pyrotheology

"All institutions fail to live up to their ideals."
--Peter Rollins
ALL institutions.
Yes, that one too.
And that one.
Mm-hm, that one as well.
Oh yeah, *especially* that one.
There are no exceptions. #AllYourFavoritesAreProblematic

"Enjoy the very place where you're not normal. 'Cause none of youse are. You're all a bit weird."

#AtheismForLent, the provocative, destabilizing practice of philosopher Dr. #PeterRollins, seeks to explore that question and its shudder-inducing implications. In APPETITE FOR ANTITHESIS: (DE)KNOWING GOD IN A LENTEN PRACTICE, author Courtney Cantrell invites you into her wild, soul-stretching journey through this Lenten decentering. Raw and deeply personal, her essays, poetry, and paintings plunge into the heart of doubt, belief, and everything in-between.

...who twists Bonhoeffer to prop up calls for Christian nationalist violence.
Gross. And scary. (Apparently the #BonhoefferMovie is in the same vein. 😬🤢 Watch with eyes open, y'all.)
So I had to go through my manuscript and either find other sources for the same pieces of info, or cut those particular passages. All because of asshole Metaxas.FASCISTS ARE WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. 😫

...but the only thing he actually excels at is getting himself into bankruptcy and making the taxpayer cover his debts. It’s actually a shame he’s not a better capitalist, because then he’d be less of a burden to the rest of us."
This essay will appear in my forthcoming book APPETITE FOR PARADOX, which is sure to make everybody on *all* sides mad. 😁

@DamienMarieAtHope You're reminding me of four points I heard from #PeterRollins, my favorite #Irish #philosopher. He says we have:
1. Known Knowns -- things we are aware that we know...
2. Known Unknowns -- things we are aware that we don't know...
3. Unknown Unknowns -- things we are not aware that we don't know...
4. Unknown Knowns -- things we are not aware that we do know......in which the fourth & final one is the *most* interesting.
None of us truly know what we believe.

#PeterRollins is a brilliant Irish philosopher and pyrotheologian. I've been following his work for several years now and find it fascinating, revelatory, nuanced, unique, and challenging. I haven't watched this whole vid yet, but the first 30min make it worth sharing:

"... this book [Negative Psychoanalysis for the Living Dead] is more focused on people who are experiencing an absolute despair. Where any type of positive, 'you can do it' message would feel like a dagger. And [Julie Reshe's] work is about acknowledging that irredeemable suffering, what she calls 'negative plasticity' from the work of Catherine Malabou..."

"A way to understand that answer is to maybe think that in life we do need advice, and we need help, and we make those kinds of judgements. But what about having a space in our lives - a desert in the oasis of our lives - where we're not told what we should do or not do. But we're brought to a space in which we just confront ourselves and who we are.

"... during Stalin's time if you were at a party meeting and Stalin was there and someone was critical of Stalin, they would be sent to the gulags. But if somebody else stopped them and said; don't say anything negative about Stalin, you know we're not allowed to critique Stalin, they'd be sent to the gulags even quicker. Because not only were you not allowed to critique Stalin, you weren't allowed to say that you weren't allowed to critique Stalin."

"... [Camus] says the conservatives, they're not happy until they get back to some golden age, and he says the revolutionaries aren't happy until they get to some utopia... then he said, but the rebel; the rebel is the one who enjoys the struggle itself, and who doesn't sacrifice people on the alter of the past or the future. But sees in the action of emancipatory struggle, liberation itself."
-
"... that's exactly why [Prosperity church] works. It works because it *doesn't* deliver on its promises. Just like gambling doesn't deliver on its promises.
It gets you addicted to the 'surplus enjoyment' of having a fantasy of what will overcome your alienation, and not giving you it. So that you can maintain a certain struggle in your life."
