I would go to Bible school every Sunday if these were the kind of ideas and discussions you could find there. Hope you and Peter can continue this series. Thank you.

do you know, and can you articulate what attracts you to his public speaking? are there other people who you similarly have sought out most or lots of their stuff? i'd guess it might be his calm demeanour and the independent nature of his thinking ("first principles thinking" as some call it) coupled with a willingness to express potentially unpopular views but i'd be interested to hear from someone like yourself

Had to make another comment, great interview. His statement about communism being hyper Christian is very apt, I once again have to quote Chesterton. "The modern world is not evil; in some ways the modern world is far too good. It is full of wild and wasted virtues.....it is not merely the vices that are let loose. The vices are, indeed, let loose, and they wander and do damage. But the virtues are let loose also; and the virtues wander more wildly, and the virtues do more terrible damage. The modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad...... Thus some scientists care for truth; and their truth is pitiless. Thus some humanitarians only care for pity; and their pity (I am sorry to say) is often untruthful."

They should have touched on the portrayals of the heroes in the Greek classics. It illustrates their and Girards points nicely. Anyone that reads Homer's account of Achilles, Ajax, Agamaennon, etc can't helped but be appaled by their attitude towards the less fortunate, it goes rough down the gullet to any Western man. It shows how intrinsic this aspect of Christianity has become in our lives, so much so that we don't even realize it. I love the quote by Chesterton on this as well "Take another case: the complicated question of charity, which some highly uncharitable idealists seem to think quite easy. Charity is a paradox, like modesty and courage. Stated baldly, charity certainly means one of two things-pardoning unpardonable acts, or loving unlovable people. But if we ask ourselves (as we did in the case of pride) what a sensible pagan would feel about such a subject, we shall probably be beginning at the bottom of it. A sensible pagan would say that there were some people one could forgive, and some one couldn’t: a slave who stole wine could be laughed at; a slave who betrayed his benefactor could be killed, and cursed even after he was killed. In so far as the act was pardonable, the man was pardonable. That again is rational, and even refreshing; but it is a dilution. It leaves no place for a pure horror of injustice, such as that which is a great beauty in the innocent. And it leaves no place for a mere tenderness for men as men, such as is the whole fascination of the charitable. Christianity came in here as before. It came in startlingly with a sword, and clove one thing from another. It divided the crime from the criminal. The criminal we must forgive unto seventy times seven. The crime we must not forgive at all. It was not enough that slaves who stole wine inspired partly anger and partly kindness. We must be much more angry with theft than before, and yet much kinder to thieves than before. There was room for wrath and love to run wild. And the more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild."
