Journaled Words {5.16.20}: “To be a ‘child of the devil’ in the sense of the Gospel of John, as we have seen, is to be locked into a deceptive system of mimetic contagion that can only lead into systems of myth and ritual. Or, in our time, it leads into those more recent forms of idolatry, such as ideology or the cult of science.” —René Girard, I See Satan Fall Like Lightning
