Well that is just foolish. I am an atheist but I find Catholic Bishop Robert Barron on Girard fascinating and great at explaining Girard.

Girard is one of the great theologians and a historic figure. Thiel is not a historical figure.

I actually read The Scapegoat and liked it. I’m not sure he could convince me of his thesis due to the unfalsifiable nature of his arguments; but he is an interesting thinker.

However, due to the high probability that blog-like content mentioning Girard shares Thiel’s ethos, I am obliged to pass on principal.
