Sacrifice
René GirardTim BurksBut the big idea - "sacrifice" was a scaffolding for human development that has nothing to do with God (other than that we'd like to blame God for it) - that turns some big things upside down - maybe like tables in temples? - and makes me glad I spent my break with René Girard.
