Prayers don't work so why do religious keep jabbing at it?

[Belacqua]

Who is "we" and why do the "we" think that their opinion is more valuable/valid?

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

By "we" I mean people who have read Kierkegaard. I think that on the subject of his writings, people who have read them have a more valuable opinion than people who haven't read them.

That quote is a statement, I don't see a recommendation. And "change the nature" is definitely open to interpretation.

True, the quote doesn't contain everything he had to say. The recommendations are elsewhere. Since Anomalocaris had a very strong opinion about what Kierkegaard said, I thought he probably knew more than that quote. Maybe not.

"Change the nature of" is indeed open to interpretation. This doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
