33. Peter Rollins and the Crucifixion of God

In "The Divine Magician," Peter Rollins describes Christianity as a magic trick. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are demonstrative events in which God's self-estrangement from Himself calls human beings into the metaphysical "lack" at the center of our existence. All are guilty of the frenetic pursuit of imaginary Sacred Objects that were crucified with God.
