Really clemdog14? Thinking

Thinking that God exists is entirely rational for me.

I dont suppose you could put up the Kierkegaard ''faith is an absurdity'' quote in full could you?


I dont remember it.

Thanks for the quote.

I didnt get from it what you appear to have.

How does..."the repulsion of the absurd" lead to ''faith is an absurdity'' ?

And thanks for the backstory bit too.

But again, I'm reading...

''faith requires...''

''It demands...''

''...faith is the highest virtue one can reach.''


Where is the absurdity? Thinking
