I am searching for a text I've since lost that I believe is a transcription of a conversation between someone and Derrida. The context may have been Heidegger's particular conception of philosophy and its incompatibility with the existence of / belief in God. I remember it as a lengthy quote.

    Could be *Violence and Metaphysics* as part of his critique of Levinas. Though I'm thinking that there it will be more about ontotheology and the term God (thus the reference to existence). – virmaior Feb 28 '15 at 00:50
  • Unfortunately I clearly remember that it was an interview where Derrida referenced Heidegger but made a general statement saying that philosophy, or maybe deconstruction, and the belief in a God are irreconcilable and incompatible. – Kyle Dec 10 '15 at 12:29
  • problematic comments dealt with. They have, as far as I can tell, absolutely nothing to do with your question. – virmaior Dec 25 '15 at 02:48

I don't recall Derrida making that statement but the discussion of Augustine, Heidegger, Destruction/Deconstruction, and prayer comes up in Circumfession. Maybe this is what you are looking for: http://www.ubu.com/sound/derrida.html
