I'm not really the "noble lie" type. Although from a Nietzschean perspective it makes sense. A free man chooses his own values, and Dostoevsky would choose those of the Christian religion.

I'm reading Fear and Trembling right now i just finished the Preliminary Expectoration. I'm deeply impressed with its insight and it has caused me to reflect on my experience as a Christian.
After having some very unpleasant experiences and having seen the world for the shit that it was I turned to God desperately. When I began to dive into the concepts in Christianity, one of the first things I learned from the ministry was the dichotomy of the world from the Church. Prior to my baptism I was taught how the flood was a type of baptism and how the whole world had to be flooded and lost so that something new and greater could be come unto. One of the hymns the church sings makes mention of leaving the world under the water as a reference to this. I desperately wanted to leave the world.
There was a point in scripture that caused me a lot of anguish. Towards the end of the Gospel of John, Jesus says that He has called us out of the World, but then also says here we must remain for certain period. I was dismayed because I realized that evem though I have been offered salvation I was still here trapped for a period more. I thought myself beyond the world. That because I had seen how wretched it is that I could easily leave it behind. I thought myself faithful because I could easily proclaim my confidence in the truth of scripture and promise of salvation. But then I was tried. I had bargained with myself about my vices, supposing that I could enjoy certain acts of flesh a while longer before fully committing to Christ. And when the lockdown began and the church closed, my separation from the constant reassurance led me astray as I sunk back into the world.

Kirkegaard says that infinite resignation is a prerequisite for faith. I see now that I am not faithful. I had only thought myself resigned from the world but it wasn't an authentic act. Abraham rode three days to Moriah to sacrifice his World to God. I turned back before my first day was over. I still do believe that Jesus rose from the dead, but I do not have faith. I wonder if this is the real meaning of "faith without works is worthless"
It isnt the work of charity per se, but rather the motion of resignation. Kirkegaard calls the man who says resignation is impossible a coward. I suppose a coward I am. I fear there is currently a Great Flood and that i'm being swept up in it. May God offer me the strength to finish the race

SPURIOUS, VACUOUS RUMINATIONS WITH NO ARGUMENT, AKIN TO STATING: «IF SOMEONE PROVED TO ME THAT THE SUN IS OUTSIDE THE SUNLIGHT, AND THAT THE SUNLIGHT IS OUTSIDE THE SUN, I WOULD PREFER THE SUN».

BESIDE BEING IRRATIONAL IT IS ALSO QUASIHERETICAL, ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING THAT A «PROTESTANTISTIC» SOPHIST WOULD EXCLAIM TO PATHETICALLY APPEAL TO THE DELUDED CROWD IN FRONT OF HIM.
