This is why people who have no appreciation of religion are the dumbest of the lot.

Embarrassment in admission of finding no worth in the study of theology; how can you find yourself capable of understanding any of the developments that have happened in Europe for 2000 years, without understanding the religion which governed its spirit?

You clearly have a syndrome of pic rel.

What's the point of the abraham isaac story? I mean, what did the initial people intend to convey with that story? Devotion to a god?

At surface it is an exemplary story about absolute faith.
Going deeper, it speaks about the possibility and even necessity of grounding one's choices in pure subjectivity, no matter how antithetical it may be to social mores.

I read this book and I was filtered in the last third probably because I do not know anything about Hegel

But anyway, I'm not sure if I missed the point but all of Kierkegaard's examples of Knights of Faith/Infinite Resignation ALL had God literally talking to them.
No shit, 'faith' is easy when you have God literally talking to you. Are we supposed to imagine mortals of today who [if they] can demonstrate the same amount of faith as Abraham or Mary without God speaking to them are even greater Knights of Faith?

>God does not speak to you, he speaks through you
from Stages on Life's Way. It's the actions of Abraham that matter, otherwise he's just a schizo with voices in his head.
