People who believe that we don't have free will yet are all loved by God are contradictory, simply because if we don't decide to defy God then he has damned many of his own creations for apparently no reason, because there is no free will.

And there is law and chaos. Good and evil are moralistic in nature and subjective. The pure ability to do something considered evil by one person without consequence disproves universal morals.

But I'm sure you already knew all that.

Kierkegaard believes that taking an objective view towards religion is not having faith for the objective view believes in God only because it cannot disprove God.
