Christendom has done away with Christianity without being quite aware of it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Image
Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored therefore they created human beings.
Soren Kierkegaard
Image
The paradox in Christian truth is invariably due to the fact that it is the truth that exists for God. The standard of measure and the end is superhuman and there is only one relationship possible: faith.

My scholarly expectation is then that I may succeed in becoming clever in philosophy in spite of my stupidity.
