What Christology is right for me if I can't stomach rationalistic systematic theology after Kant, and I can't seem to be persuaded by church dogmatics either?

Nothing seems to answer to the problem of the transcendental turn, with its fundamental scepticism about subject-transcendent knowledge (whether authority or revelation as mediated by authorities). I know too much about the historical development of post-Kantian theology to buy into the mystical or intuitive approaches like Schleiermacher, Fries, or Otto. I am open to mysticism but I have never experienced it personally. I enjoy the collective effervescence of church-going, but it doesn't have any specific rational content, and I can't transfer the nice feelings over to believing in antiquated rationalist arguments for God's existence.

I am interested in Christ specifically because I am interested in a personal and anthropological (or anthropo-logical) divine principle. But I don't know how to follow up on that.

There's nothing Rational, or -istic, about Kant. Just self-imposed agnosticism and fake humility.

I bet you're a LARPer crusader american autistic fuck who "converted" to Christianity during the 2016 shitfest and you think Jesus isn't Jewish. You prove your American retardness when you post a le epic icon of Christ with a sword (totally wrong and made just to appeal to edgy bloodthirsty orthodogs) from the Orthodox Church while posting a Roman Catholic prayer.

Well I still hope you stuck to the faith. Out of anything I doubt a kid puking the host would deter you from the faith completely if you were faithful at the time.
