Introduction to Paratheology and Congregations of the Contradiction
Pyrotheology is a theory and practice that explores the death of God and the radical self-division within reality. It involves forming congregations around the understanding that alienation is fundamental to existence, embracing contradictions and anxiety as intrinsic to human experience. The goal is to create liturgical gatherings, congregations of the void, where individuals encounter and engage with the fundamental self-alienation within themselves and the universe.
