#AtheismForLent, the provocative, destabilizing practice of philosopher Dr. #PeterRollins, seeks to explore that question and its shudder-inducing implications. In APPETITE FOR ANTITHESIS: (DE)KNOWING GOD IN A LENTEN PRACTICE, author Courtney Cantrell invites you into her wild, soul-stretching journey through this Lenten decentering. Raw and deeply personal, her essays, poetry, and paintings plunge into the heart of doubt, belief, and everything in-between.

"... [Camus] says the conservatives, they're not happy until they get back to some golden age, and he says the revolutionaries aren't happy until they get to some utopia... then he said, but the rebel; the rebel is the one who enjoys the struggle itself, and who doesn't sacrifice people on the alter of the past or the future. But sees in the action of emancipatory struggle, liberation itself."
"... that's exactly why [Prosperity church] works. It works because it *doesn't* deliver on its promises. Just like gambling doesn't deliver on its promises.
It gets you addicted to the 'surplus enjoyment' of having a fantasy of what will overcome your alienation, and not giving you it. So that you can maintain a certain struggle in your life."
