kierkegaard

[Anonymous No.3198543]

God is not like a human being; it is not important for God to have visible evidence so that he can see if his cause has been victorious or not; he sees in secret just as well. Moreover, it is so far from being the case that you should help God to learn anew that it is rather he who will help you to learn anew, so that you are weaned from the worldly point of view that insists on visible evidence. (...) A decision in the external sphere is what Christianity does not want; (...) rather it wants to test the individual’s faith."

what is this guy on about?

He's saying that God is testing your faith by hiding himself behind rose bushes and never ever being seen, not once, by the human eye. If God made Himself seen, then there would be no reason to have faith. And, more than proving His existence so that humanity will believe in him, He in His divine glory will hide himself forever and send you to hell because you don't believe in Him. In other words, would anybody go to hell is God came down from heaven and showed himself? No, because everyone would believe in Him. Then what's love got to do with it? What's love but a second-hand emotion?

If Kierkegaard did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
