#AtheismForLent, the provocative, destabilizing practice of philosopher Dr. #PeterRollins, seeks to explore that question and its shudder-inducing implications. In APPETITE FOR ANTITHESIS: (DE)KNOWING GOD IN A LENTEN PRACTICE, author Courtney Cantrell invites you into her wild, soul-stretching journey through this Lenten decentering. Raw and deeply personal, her essays, poetry, and paintings plunge into the heart of doubt, belief, and everything in-between.

Gross. And scary. (Apparently the #BonhoefferMovie is in the same vein. 😬🤢 Watch with eyes open, y'all.)

FASCISTS ARE WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. 😫
🤬🤬🤬

...but the only thing he actually excels at is getting himself into bankruptcy and making the taxpayer cover his debts. It’s actually a shame he’s not a better capitalist, because then he’d be less of a burden to the rest of us."

This essay will appear in my forthcoming book APPETITE FOR PARADOX, which is sure to make everybody on *all* sides mad. 😁
