For the event, names are always lacking, even the name of God. But that is not because the event is a hyperousios, the unnamable hyper-presence of mystical theology, with which deconstruction is sometimes confused, but because the event is still coming, is structurally to-come, à venir, while I am always saying, praying “come,” viens. That is the very idea of a religion without religion, as opposed to the strong religion that reposes on the power of principles and propositions, the prestige of proper names, of properly sacred names, of sacred proper names found in sacred books.
