In the course of declaiming on "science and apocalypse" we find the following....
The Gospels can serve as a foundation for a new culture, similar to all the previous cultures only as a result of a certain distortion of the original message....
Like every history within the sacrificial system, the course of historical Christianity consists in a gradual loosening of legal constraints in proportion to the declining efficacy of ritual mechanisms. We have argued that this development cannot simply be seen as decadence and decomposition. It is also incorrect to view the process as a liberating opening to a future of unlimited 'progress'. In both cases, the Christian text is interpreted as having already said its last word; it is there behind us, not in front of us.
