Deconstruct this

Any time I see someone online (mis)use the term “deconstruct” or some form of it in reference to their (often former) Christian faith, I paste this quote from J. Hillis Miller, “Deconstruction is not a dismantling of the structure of a text, but a demonstration that it has already dismantled itself. Its apparently solid ground is no rock but thin air.” I hope it reminds them of what shaky ground they are standing on as I deconstruct their text about deconstructing.
