On the 8th January I will be giving a talk in Belfast (at the Black Box) that delves into some of the themes I introduced in Insurrection. By drawing together Laurel and Hardy, David Brent, the Crucifixion and Gargoyles I will be attempting to outline how the heart of Christianity exposes the reality that we are the brunt of a huge cosmic joke while simultaneously inviting us to laugh along rather than being its comic foil.
I will also be arguing that the actually existing church has largely repressed the reality of this cosmic joke, refusing to see it and thus remaining its victim.
So if you would like to find out what the joke is sign up here. And if you are expecting this to be a stand-up routine you will be sorely disappointed!
Also, if there is anyone out there who can record the talk that would be a real help.
