The only true existentialism is Christian existentialism- the false being merely immature teenage atheist angst.

>> No.1516717

Sartre was a teenager.
Nietzsche was a teenager.
Seneca was a teenager

According to you, everyone must be an existentialist. Plato must have been an existentialist too, right?

"The early Christian Church was very favorably disposed towards Seneca and his writings, and the church leader Tertullian called him "our Seneca." -Moses Hadas. The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca, 1958. 1

Looks like he was an early Christian at heart, thanks for further proving my point.

The only true existentialism is Atheist existentialism- the false being merely immature butthurt Christians quoting Kierkegaard despite other philosophers building upon his work to show atheist existentialism as the obvious outcome.

also, is everyone in my existentialism and phenomenology class an e/lit/ist or something? I've seen so many Kierkegaard threads the last week.

Christian existentialism is a contradiction of terms. No existentialism can be called true, nor is it safe from the burden of proof, since the central tenets assume complete knowledge of the working universe (how arrogant to say that man is the sole arbiter of reason in an uncaring universe).

>>1517325
You are imposing a false definition of what existentialism means.
One can be as much of an existentialist in a relationship towards god as one's relationship regarding atheism.
