Religious traditions by building a wall of doctirne seek to contain but propositional rectitude connot limit or contain,

 

 I guess you might say that all thinking involves making distinctions, but deconstructive thinking always turns on itself, using further distinctions to show how any given distinction is misleading

The Religious traditions contain (in the sense of “possess”) these but they cannot contain (in the sense of “confine” or “limit”) them, hold them captive by building a wall of doctrine, administrative rule, orthodoxy, propositional rectitude around them. deconstruction is affirmation, 

 The deconstructive analysis of any religious concept — the Christian Trinity, Buddhist nirvana — always turns out to be the same: an endless play of mutually undermining differences.

Derrida  talks of a messiah — but one that never comes; he’s interested in the idea of confessing your sins — but believes there’s no one to forgive them.
