"No one can speak with us and no one can speak for us; we must take it upon ourselves, each of us must take it upon himself... If Paul says 'adieu' and absents himself as he asks them to obey, in fact ordering them to obey (for one doesn't ask for obedience, one orders it), it is because God is himself absent, hidden and silent, separate, secret at the moment he has to be obeyed. God doesn't give his reasons, he acts as he intends, he doesn't have to give his reasons or share anything with us: neither his motivations, if he has any, nor his deliberations, nor his decisions. Otherwise he wouldn't be God, we wouldn't be dealing with the Other as God or with God as tout autre. If the other were to share his reasons with us by explaining them to us, if he were to speak to us all the time without secrets, he wouldn't be the other, we would share a type of homogeneity. — Jacques Derrida, The Gift of Death
