Inhaltsangabe

This essay contains additional comments on my previous book, The Monstrosity of Christ (2011). Here, I am following the main didactic line according to which anyone who wants to fight for emancipation should not be afraid to examine all aspects of religious life. The current story fits perfectly the materialist procedure of the immanent self-undermining of a religious edifice – the claim that god is evil or stupid can be much more unsettling than the claim that there is no god since the first claim destroys the very notion of divinity. Christ demands of each of his followers that they become necrophagic fetishists; Christians who justify their ludicrous anti-Semitism by characterizing Jewish people as ‘Christ-killers’ should keep this in mind: the Jews may have killed God, but the Christians ate him.
