All theological attitudes pre suppose a pre-decided, finite and monolithic answer to all questions. Literature is no more ready to agree with such an arbitrary concept. Post structuralism argues that there are so many meanings than the one 'intended by the author. In the multiplicity of writing, there is nothing to be deciphered; everything is to be disentangled.
The space of writing is to be ranged over not to be pierced. Writing posits meaning endlessly; simultaneously meaning evaporates endlessly. This results in a systematic exemption of meaning. The task of offering a single, finite and fixed meaning is that of religion. Literature refuses to offer this kind of a single, finite and fixed meaning and thus literature becomes an anti theological activity.
