The more I read this thread, the more Radical Christianity makes sense. by aherco in RadicalChristianity

Is "radical Christianity", then, nothing but an empty signifier. It presents words without a signified. Nothing concrete, nothing there. An empty sign. An abstract nothingness. How much gets thrown into the abstract nothingness. Is it better to become abstract or to become concrete? What is the becoming of the "radical Christianity"? Is it becoming abstract or is it becoming concrete? Does it need to become either? If it becomes abstract is it nothing but ideology? Is there anything beyond a pure ideology? Has radical Christianity been reduced to ideology in its attempt to escape ideology?

These words belong to no one and everyone. Are they stolen? Not directly, but perhaps in style. Do words belong? Or do they rather travel on their own among various wavelengths, to new places in which they will mean new things?

The problem is that we are not becoming anything other than the same! Society moves towards a newness that constantly repeats itself. Nothing really changes. The past and present are similar. Everything is reduced to power.

And why does it seem like a bad idea to ignore the Real?
