restlesshippo: The Hunger Games: A Prophecy? Father Robert Baron’s fascinating take on The Hunger Games. (and I thought the premise seemed a bit far fetched!) “….Christianity [is] the one religion, philosophy, or ideology that both unmasked this scapegoat mechanism and showed a way out. For at the heart of Christian revelation is God’s utter identification, not with the perpetrators of violence, but with the scapegoated victim. The crucified Jesus is hence the undermining of the dynamic that has undergirded most civilizations and that continues to beguile the human imagination to this day.”
