What if I told you that the whole proposition is nonsensical because the entire thing is just a test of your Faith?
>t. self-aware instantiated conscious being who has realized that this "world" is just a simulation designed to educate & test himself and other self-aware instantiated conscious beings
Does this disqualify me, or does it mean that I pass the test, or...?
Are chimpanzees conscious? How can you test someone’s faith by removing it at birth and requiring that they get indoctrinated into it or for some reason decide to have it again without any rational basis? That doesn’t seem like a test, unless you can test whether someone will pass a course by automatically failing them at the beginning.
>absurd and nonsensical
about as absurd and nonsensical as everything arising from nothing? atheism and theism are equally absurd because we live in an absurd universe
the idea of god choosing one messenger to deliver his messages is moronic thoughever. i'm prepared for someone to call me a israelite for believing this but i'm pretty sure the israelites are still waiting for their own messiah and i don't believe one has or will ever exist. not sure what that makes me.
I tried reading philosophy in the past but I quickly realised that reading wasn't enough and that you really needed to study the text deeply to get anything out of it
Also the attitude of ticking off all the greatest works of philosophy as you finished reading them is poisonous to true appreciation
>reading wasn't enough and that you really needed to study the text deeply
Yes, and? Why would that stop you?

Thank you for being honest with yourself. You’re better than all the idiots who remember one or two things from a book to quote while misinterpreting everything else.

Yet still moronic, so why are you congratulating him? Are we having the IQfy Special Olympics today?
Like I said last time we had this thread, he's one of the most underrated--possibly the most underrated--genius of the past. No one seems to notice he preemptively wrecked Nietzsche, Darwin, Emerson, and basically most modern thinkers, either before they ever uttered a word or before they even existed. He was an absolute gigachad of thought.
Kierkegaard had a considerable influence on 20th-century literature. Figures deeply influenced by his work include W. H. Auden, Jorge Luis Borges, Don DeLillo, Hermann Hesse, Franz Kafka, David Lodge, Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, Rainer Maria Rilke, J.D. Salinger and John Updike
Kierkegaard is essentially a failure to recognize that just because you associated an idea with an emotion doesn’t mean the idea is the cause of the emotion.
As a Catholic, which I only mention for context, I like him about as much as Nietzsche. Both are fundamentally wrong when talking about religious matters, Nietzsche profoundly so, but yet uncannily perceptive when criticizing the modern world and its cacophony of false religion. Kierkegaard, a man of my own heart, may take the lead, and he can be hilarious to read.

all I know about philosophy is just some Plato, I don't give a shit
>just le believe bro
no
I'd respect christoids if they recognized how absurd and nonsensical the whole proposition they choose to believe in is.
>he thinks faith is a proposition
And he wonders why he considers it absurd! Absolute smooth brain.

Everything is absurd is the problem …
I don't read philosophy
Neither do most of the posters itt, or else they read without comprehension.

I tried to like him, but instead endlessly fell into the impossibility of knowledge.

Not even close, moreso, he's not underrated or underappreciated at all.
Thank (You) for your [useless] contribution.
See the Michael Sugrue video on Kierkegaard
started with either/or and clocked out at around 350 pages because it bored me to death. Havent read anything else by him and dont plan to
Read Fear and Trembling. It's short and absolutely genius

probably had the most literary prose among philosophers

This kills the German
