Jacques Derrida, "The Force of Law"

in Acts of Religion, 257 as translated and modified by Caputo:

"Perhaps" - one must (il faut) always say perhaps of God. There is a future for God and there is no God except to the degree that some event is possible which, as event, exceeds calculation, rules, program, anticipations, and so forth. God, as the expression of absolute alterity, is unpresentable, but God is the chance of the event and the condition of history.
