Scapegoat theory, based on Rene Girard's ideas of mimetic desire and scapegoating, proposes that: 1) humans imitate each other's desires, which can lead to rivalry and violence; 2) societies defuse violence by unanimously directing it towards a scapegoat, who becomes the "other"; 3) examples can be seen in biblical texts like Deuteronomy that rationalize violence against enemies; 4) Osama bin Laden used similar rhetoric to justify violence against the West. An alternative view is that the crucifixion of Christ highlights humanity's capacity for violence rather than requiring an innocent sacrifice.

This presentation investigates how notion of “race” is socially constructed. It arose concurrently with the advent of European exploration as a justification and rationale for conquest and domination of the globe beginning in the 15th century of the Common Era. Therefore, “race” is an historical, “scientific,” and biological myth. It is an idea. Geneticists tell us that there is often more variability within a given so-called “race” than between “races,” and that there are no essential genetic markers linked specifically to “race.”

THE ANTICHRIST

PREFACE
This book belongs to the most rare of men. Perhaps not one of them is yet alive. It is possible that they may be among those who understand my "Zarathustra": how could I confound myself with those who are now sprouting ears?--First the day after tomorrow must come for me. Some men are born posthumously.
The conditions under which any one understands me, and necessarily understands me--I know them only too well. Even to endure my seriousness, my passion, he must carry intellectual integrity to the verge of hardness. He must be accustomed to living on mountain tops--and to looking upon the wretched gabble of politics and nationalism as beneath him. He must have become indifferent; he must never ask of the truth whether it brings profit to him or a fatality to him... He must have an inclination, born of strength, for questions that no one has the courage for; the courage for the forbidden; predestination for the labyrinth. The experience of seven solitudes. New ears for new music. New eyes for what is most distant. A new conscience for truths that have hitherto remained unheard. And the will to economize in the grand manner--to hold together his strength, his enthusiasm...Reverence for self; love of self; absolute freedom of self.....
Very well, then! of that sort only are my readers, my true readers, my readers foreordained: of what account are the rest?--The rest are merely humanity.--One must make one's self superior to humanity, in power, in loftiness of soul,--in contempt.
FRIEDRICH W. NIETZSCHE.

--Let us look each other in the face. We are Hyperboreans--we know well enough how remote our place is. "Neither by land nor by water will you find the road to the Hyperboreans": even Pindar1,in his day, knew that much about us. Beyond the North, beyond the ice, beyond death--our life, our happiness...We have discovered that happiness; we know the way; we got our knowledge of it from thousands of years in the labyrinth. Who else has found it?--The man of today?--"I don't know either the way out or the way in; I am whatever doesn't know either the way out or the way in"--so sighs the man of today...This is the sort of modernity that made us ill,--we sickened on lazy peace, cowardly compromise, the whole virtuous dirtiness of the modern Yea and Nay. This tolerance and largeur of the heart that "forgives" everything because it "understands" everything is a sirocco to us. Rather live amid the ice than among modern virtues and other such south-winds! . . . We were brave enough; we spared neither ourselves nor others; but we were a long time finding out where to direct our courage. We grew dismal; they called us fatalists. Our fate--it was the fulness, the tension, the storing up of powers. We thirsted for the lightnings and great deeds; we kept as far as possible from the happiness of the weakling, from "resignation" . . . There was th ...

SECTION 3: TEXTS FROM THE KORAN
SECTION 1: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
“Man cannot live by the bread of science and politics alone; he also needs the vitamins of ethics and morals, faith and hope, love and security, comfort and attention in the face of death and misfortune, a feeling and experience that as a person he matters infinitely, and assurance that he is not immediately ‘forgotten’ or even annihilated when he dies. These are the elements that religion tries to offer… Religion makes a contribution in man’s search for identity and security... Invisible, unnoticed and even unofficially, the religious traditions of Africa contain the only lasting potentialities for a basis, a foundation and a direction of life for African societies.”
John S. Mbiti, African Religions and Philosophy. London: Heinemann, 1989, 2nd edition; p.270.

THE DANGER OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM
Mortal men believe that gods are begotten, and that they have the dress, voice,
and body of mortals...
If Oxen, horses, or lions had hands with which to sketch and fashion works of art as men do.
Then horses would draw the forms of gods like horses, oxen like oxen, and they would each make their gods’ bodies similar in frame to the bodies that they themselves possess.
Indeed, the Ethiopians claim that their gods are snub-nosed and black;
the Thracians, that theirs are blue-eyed and red-headed. ...
One god there is! Greatest among gods and humankind,
in no way like mortals in body or in the thought of his mind.
In his entirety, he sees;
in his entirety, he thinks;
in his entirety, he hears.
Always in the same place, he remains, moving not at all; it is not fitting that he should shift about now here and, then, elsewhere. But holding aloof from toil, he sets all things aquiver with the thought of his mind.

Welcome the Second Coming
Saying of the Holy Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allah be on him
Beware; there will be no prophet or messenger between Jesus, the son of Mary, and me. Remember, he shall be my Caliph after me to my people. Remember, he will vanquish Anti-Christ, break the Cross (with argument), abolish the taking of Jizya (tax collected from defeated people), as there would no longer be any war. Remember, whoever meets him should convey my greetings to him.
MOST nations which have achieved independence and renown, have either possest or fabled in the dawn of their origin some famous national hero — the champion and the deliverer of his people. Jesus is the greatest example of such a champion.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
1. Scapegoat Theory: Mimesis What is Scapegoat Theory? According to Kirk-Duggan, Scapegoat theory is “based on the idea of mimesis, or imitation. Mimesis, to imitate, is vital for our epistemology, the way we know and learn. With “good” mimesis, one desires to learn something from another. Mimetic intimacy, the resulting process and framework of “good” mimesis, involves nonviolence: imitation without conflict and without sacrifice” (Kirk-Duggan 6). What is Mimesis? Mimesis: When two or more people desire or want or relate to the same person, place, thing, or status. Mimesis requires at a minimum these three things: at least two individuals with desire and the object being desired. These unite to create Girard’s mimetic triangle.
2. Scapegoat Theory: Mimesis The introduction of scarcity to Girard’s mimetic triangle. When two or more participants desire the same thing, yet the desired object is scarce, it can lead to rivalry. This creates a situation called acquisitive memesis. When either participant can engage in destructive activity—such as physical harm, a scapegoat must exist in order to justify that action so that culture can be allowed to continue. Otherwise, if done without justification, concepts of “culture” spiral into chaos. Kirk Duggan writes, “Once a scapegoat is identified, the dominant group can release its rage and fear and violent sensibilities, and gain a sense of peaceful community” (Kirk-Duggan 6).
3. Scapegoat Theory: The Victim The Anatomy of “the Other” Kirk-Duggan says, “By psychologically or physically eliminating or purging the ones who are different, a group establishes itself. Girardian scapegoat mechanism, then, helps us see that mimetic rivalry shapes human behavior, and provides a way to rationalize violence via religious rituals and myth” (Kirk-Duggan 7). The creation of the other relies on our tendency to label things and make generalizations. Labels and generalizations help us make sense of the world, and allow us to make quick analyses of situations. This tendency is essentially a natural part of the human condition because there is so much data around us constantly, that to try and be mindful of ALL of it is impossible. To get around this, we simply an otherwise complex concept, idea, or thing.
4. Scapegoat Theory: The Victim The Anatomy of “the Other” However, the ability to simplify a situation and make quick judgments about our surroundings is a double-edged sword, because when a person, or group of people, society, or culture gets a label other than “human,” and that label is replaced with a word like “enemy,” or “threat,” then they become “the Other;” they become something subhuman, and the flood gate is opened for violence and abuse to occur. In the violence that occurs during and after acquisitive mimesis, “[rivals] end up looking and acting more and more like one another, and they focus on a person or group of persons who look, behave, or think differently. These kinds of differences often make them the target of a particular group’s united effort to define themselves” (Kirk-Duggan 7). That is because of the nature of labeling and defining.
5. Scapegoat Theory: The Victim One need only look at rhetoric of Fundamentalist Christians and compare it to the rhetoric of fanatical Muslims to see this. Both of these groups claim to have absolute truth, and demand that the world must come to live by their rules. All others are inferior to them. Another historical example would be the Nazis treatment of the Jews. Nazi or Jew, both groups were still Germans. The German economy was completely wrecked by World War I. The German Jewish population was targeted by the Fascist moment and made the scapegoat. This helped fuel Hitler’s rise to power.
6. Scapegoat Theory: The Victim A Biblical example of rationalizing violence via religious ritual and myth: (Deuteronomy 32:39-47, NIV) “See now that I myself am He! There is no God besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand. I lift my hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever, when I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and repay those who hate me. I will make my arrows drunk with blood, while my sword devours flesh: the blood of the slain and the captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.” Rejoice, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and people.
7. Scapegoat Theory: The Victim (Deuteronomy 32:39-47, NIV, cont’d) “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you—they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.” In these passages, Moses is giving the Israelites a war song to live by. This song is given to the people long before Joshua led them to the city of Jericho, and the Israelites do indeed take it’s words to heart on their warpath in returning to their “homeland.” This rhetoric is nearly identical with the rhetoric used by “terrorists” today.
8. Scapegoat Theory: The Rhetoric After fleeing Egypt and running around the desert for over 40 years, the disorganized mass of the escaped slaves became an organized army at the command of Moses. However, Moses died and handed over control to Joshua before the army ever crossed the Jordan. Upon crossing the Jordan en route to their home, Joshua and the Israelite army come upon the city of Jericho and place the city under siege. With the enemy established and the rhetoric of making arrows “drunk with blood,” and swords “devouring flesh” fresh in their minds, the Israelites raze the entire city.
9. Scapegoat Theory: The Rhetoric This exact line of thinking and rhetoric used by Moses and Joshua is also used by a contemporary of ours, Osama Bin Laden. Here is an excerpt from Osama Bin Laden’s ‘letter to America’: "Allah has decreed that 'Verily it is I and My Messengers who shall be victorious.' Verily Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty." [Quran 58:21] [We are] The Islamic Nation that was able to dismiss and destroy the previous evil Empires like yourself; the Nation that rejects your attacks, wishes to remove your evils, and is prepared to fight you. You are well aware that the Islamic Nation, from the very core of its soul, despises your haughtiness and arrogance.
10. Scapegoat Theory: The Rhetoric If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance and righteousness that we call them to, then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began, just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen, fleeing to your home in great silence and disgrace. If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy. This is our message to the Americans, as an answer to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious?
11. Scapegoat Theory: The Rhetoric A quick reversal in logic: Excerpt of Mark Twain’s satirical piece, The War Prayer “O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle -- be Thou near them! With them -- in spirit -- we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it -- for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.”
12. Scapegoat Theory: Christ The "true" message to be found in Christianity: Have we missed the point? One common understanding of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is that God needed an innocent sacrifice in order to redeem mankind of its sins. Jesus, an innocent man, died an excruciatingly painful death to atone for mankind. In essence, all of mankind’s transgressions are put on the shoulders of one man to bear. However, what does this interpretation of the scripture say about God? Why does God demand blood and suffering--an innocent sacrifice? This interpretation is dismissive of man's role in the homicide of Jesus, because after all, God did ordain it to happen. This type of interpretation leaves the door wide open for the rhetoric of justified violence to follow.
13. Scapegoat Theory: Christ Using Rene Girard's scapegoat mechanism to analyze Christianity yields a different interpretation. In this interpretation, mankind essentially murdered an innocent man in the most excruciating way known at the time, and perhaps ever. Recognition that, 1) Jesus was in fact made a scapegoat, 2) humanity is capable of committing horrible violence, and 3) not only are we capable of committing violence, but we are able to subject an innocent person to it, is what is the key teaching of the crucifixion of Christ. This interpretation forces mankind to look upon itself, and blame itself for Christ's death, and not the will of God. In essence, the lesson of Christ’s death is that it should never happen again, there should never again be another innocent scapegoat created—and yet it still happens…
