“If you don’t have some notion of correlation, you will freeze religious formulations. Religious formulations become atemporal, ahistorical, absolute, they’re extricated from the correlation. What is absolute is what is not relative, what is outside the relation, outside the correlation; they absolve themselves from the correlation, and absolutise themselves; and when they absolutise themselves, what is that other than human beings absolutising themselves, in the name of God? They haven’t made contact with the absolute, they have declared their own particular hermeneutical situation absolute. They have absolutised themselves, in the name of God.” — John D.
