This [1] cured me of Girard. Read that and then read the rest of the comments here. Don't worry, it's very well written and quite funny. Also provides an implicit side view of Silicon Valley culture.

Yeah. The ability to torture your citations until they say what you want does not make them evidence for your theory. (Seriously, I second downut - read the reference before you decide you agree with Girard.)

And if he's doing that to the foundational texts of Christianity, that makes me inclined to view his statements about Christianity very skeptically, for all he claims that he is consistent with Christianity and supporting Christianity.


Is Landy envious of Girard? With Landy having just 1 (one) wikipedia article to his name, and Girard 36 (thirty-six)? Who knows. Thanks for the reference.
