“Secular intellectuals, poor things, cannot win for losing. Even as contemporary philosophers move more and more beyond the modernist, critical, and reductionist habits of thought that grew up in the old Enlightenment, which was keyed to the old new science, the new technologies have simply created the opportunity for a new religious imagination.”
― John D. Caputo, On Religion

“Thou shalt make no image, no abstraction, including none of THE American, THE Swiss, THE German.”
― Karl Barth, Evangelical Theology: An Introduction

“If only I could tell someone.
The humiliation I go through
when I think of my past

― John D. Caputo, On Religion
