David Gornoski sits down with academic Leigh Fetter who discusses his journey from secular atheism to Christianity by discovering the works of Rene Girard. David and Leigh discuss a variety of topics such as the Christian undermining of ancient myths; the possibility of Orwellian totalitarianism; the Nietzschean problem of recreating values; how Girard provides a groundbreaking understanding of good and evil; "hyper-Christianity" in the modern world; the mythology of leftward progress; how Jesus continually flips scapegoating on its head; and more.
