“Whatever the philosophical variety, the authority of exegesis will reside, not in the political sovereign, but in the enlightened philosophy that informs exegesis. Each in turn will provide yet another variation of Spinoza's hermeneutic of condescension. But this is also a hermeneutic of self-divinization. Therefore, each will invest his philosophy with all the religious certainty and zeal originally invested by Spinoza in his particular philosophy, and each will exhibit the same unshakeable faith and enthusiasm in the spread of its gospel and the progressive divinization of humanity. The divinization soon enough focuses on the process rather than the goal.”

“There is no instruction in Scripture that authorizes anyone outside that appointed structure to collect tithes on behalf of God. Just as it would be presumptuous and dangerously misguided to mimic Noah’s ark or Abraham’s sacrifice, it is equally wrong to act as if one has the divine right to collect tithes today when no such mandate has been given. If the instruction is not directed to us, then we should not be the ones doing it.”
