“a scapegoat is that which we blame for not being able to get what we most desire; it is that which takes on the burden of our failure to get what we cannot reach—the sacred-object. A clear expression of scapegoating occurs when some individual or community is collectively viewed by another to be the obstacle preventing the attainment of their ultimate goal. Something one clearly witnesses in the way the figure of the Jew operates in fascist ideology. In this ideology, the Jew is seen to disrupt the society’s organic unity, tribal harmony, and collective identity.”
― Peter Rollins, The Divine Magician: The Disappearance of Religion and the Discovery of Faith

“When we are in good health, we all feel very real, solid, and permanent; and this is of all our illusions the most ridiculous, and also the most obviously useful from the point of view of the efficiency and preservation of the race.”
― Evelyn Underhill, Mysticism
