“Reread --or read-- the Bible.”↗

“This is actually closest to the origin of the concept of scapegoating in Leviticus, where on the Day of Atonement, the high priest lays his hands on the head of a goat and confesses the sins of the Israelites. He then sends the goat out into the desert, symbolically transferring the sins away from the community. Conspiracists are usually not as self-aware about this as the Israelites.

“> New Testament, or Old Testament? Which has influenced you more, and why?I’d have to go with something like the New Testament. These things are always subject to so much interpretation. I don’t think something like any of these holy books stand on their own. If they did, that’s always an antireligious argument at the end of the day.”
