>Being the Knight of Faith means being a literal delusional retard>Example is a guy having oneitis for a woman he’ll never have and expecting God to give her to you>This is a good thing apparently>The Knight of Resignation is painted as someone who gives up, even though their lives after moving on from their delusion would be far more godly and healthyOh ok, back to Nietzsche
>>24829408Conservatives love this shit.Do as you're told until death. The end.
>>24829414I’m conservative and I think old Soren’s a retard who needed more pussy
Yes that's what faith is, desu I'd rather have someone who knows where their faith is placed, as most atheist types don't know where reason ends and faith begins or if impeccably honest their lack of faith would lead them to radical skepticism
>>24829408who would win in a fight the knight of faith or the ubermensch?
He's not wrong from the christcuck pov
>>24829437The knight of faith would believe God would ben causality for him to win only for the ubermensch to cave his face in>>24829434I have faith I’m Superman, God is gonna help me fly if I jump off this rooftop brb
>>24829439Do Christians believe Abraham was a real person? The problem with basing your entire faith perspective on Abraham is that it’s a story where things happen purposefully, and there was never a real man with real faith enough to sacrifice his son.The whole thing seems retarded.
>>24829434Misaligned delisional faith leads to horrible acts of terrorism and abuse, what are stupid take
>>24829408The trick is to be so delusional that you're already going on picnics with her in your mind.
>>24829468Like faith in communism by nihilistic, godless Stalins and Pol Pots>but that wasn't r-r-real socialism>they were Christian!>NPC atheist response #13
>>24829408And yet, this board worships the likes of Spinoza
>>24829552Well yeah, retard, having delusional faith in ANYTHING is bad, including faith in the material world, money, sex, etc. The point I’m making is that by Knight of Faith logic, suicide bombers are closer to God than both me and you because they have absolute paradoxical faith to believe God does the impossible and therefore have true faith (religious). This is a flawed worldview by a man who thought the Old Testament was true.
>>24829573Idk who that is, I just started getting into philosophy and thought The Knight of Faith was stupid
>>24829408>a guy having oneitis for a woman he’ll never have and expecting God to give her to youmuslim tier cope
>>24829624I’m Catholic, the princess analogy is incel tier
>>24829441The knight of faith world have more psychotically singular willpower though. The uberman would buckle and ben to the knights more focused and lively autism.
>>24829575and yet, no one can stop the spread of Islam. curious.>>24829585can't be any less retarded than the "the rational is real and the real is rational" or something like that. I think Hegel has an interesting if slightly flawed view of the philosophy of history, but to assume history, like humans, moves according to reason is a funny joke.
>>24829649You haven’t refuted anything I said, I don’t even understand your point about Islam, and you’re just mad because I think this kind of faith is stupid. I’m not even an atheist…I’m a Catholic.You think the spread of Islam is good? Lmao
>>24829552>communism >nihilistic, >godlessLiberal propaganda There's also Soviet propaganda to make you believe they were communism. But it's all fake shit. >but that wasn't r-r-real socialismDEMOSTRABLY
>>24829670because that's not what I was saying at all. Catholicism is great, its the faith I follow. However, you don't spread your belief system by letting other beliefs subsume you and become more tolerant. the spread of Islam is troublesome but what are you doing to stop it? Turn the other cheek applies to everything. Except abject evil. Islam metaphysically opposes Catholicism. How would you respond?
>>24829408It's called being basedI do wonder what would have happened if Nietzsche lived long enough to actually go to Denmark to read Kierkegaard
>>24829693How does this have anything to do with my point about the Knight of Faith being a retarded and dangerous proposition? Islamic extremists are Knights of Faith, as are people like Pol Pot.Blind, unthinking faith is dangerous and no just God should ask for such a thing>>24829695Being a delusional retard isn’t based, it’s gay and retarded
>>24829408Kierkegaard's philosophy ironically amplifies Islam more than Christianity if you see it that way
>>24829434trvke, atheists place their faith in "institutions" and "ideologies." they'll lament the millions killed in religious wars throughout history, then insist that millions more must die today in order for eternal piss to be achieved. to them, the world of geopolitics is an eschatological battle of good vs evil. total fags and lunatics. like if you still believe in liberal mythologies then, for the sake of the planet, just park your faith in some spinozist "god as nature" abstraction and don't think too hard about it. that's the leap of faith, and it will save lives (for the greater good even!)
>>24829758>>24829758You keep bringing up atheists but I’m a Catholic. Saying “trvke” doesn’t make something true. This is some zoomer shit, either talk normal or leave the thread.Having blind, absolute faith is retarded, and his example of loving a princess is incel shit. He also LITERALLY thought Abraham existed as a historical figure, so the whole argument is a fallacy because it’s not based on a real person having real faith.I’d rather become the overman than some deluded simp retard.
>>24829745Eastern Orthodoxy says hello
>>24829769>>24829777>SamefaggingLeave the thread faggot
>>24829765Nta, but based on your perspective your Catholicism is built on a house of sand.
>>24829779I fucked up my initial post so I corrected it. Simple as
>>24829765Catholic rationalism vs Protestant voluntarism, maybe you believe reason's telos is god
>>24829782>>24829797Reminder that Kierkegaard hated the institutions of the Church, and denied last rights. Modern Christianity is Paulism.
>>24829782>Questioning the absurdity of faith and people believing the Old Testament is real is badI’m trying to get to the truth, not deluding myself within a flawed system of beliefs.
>>24829765>Saying “trvke” doesn’t make something true. This is some zoomer shit, either talk normal or leave the thread.pound sand, papist
>>24829575Suicide bombers lack faith, if anything
>>24829824Are you stupid? Genuine question.They have full faith in the afterlife reward promised by God in the Quran. They have MORE faith than anyone, they’re blowing themselves up for God, stupid fuck
>>24829837I should clarify that the Knight of Faith can't be applied to non-Christian religions
>>24829843It can’t be applied to any religion, he didn’t think it was achievable or a good thing.
>>24829806Paul is... le Bad
>>24829852Yes actually, direct opposition to the historical Jesus and introduced retarded legalistic bullshit
>>24829809You're what the proverbs would categorize as a fool, your pride is getting in the way of actual wisdom.
Would it be completely asinine to associate Kierkegaard's concept of truth is subjectivity with the stoic second movement?
>>24829892Feel free to explain what you mean, because you haven’t disproved a thing I’ve said ITT. Not wanting to be deluded is being a fool?
>>24829901Arrogant
>>24829818More like pound your mom
>>24829938This isn’t an argument, it’s like me simply calling you stupid, which you are
>>24829743Philosophers don't get anywhere by being "safe". Philosophy is supposed to question foundational assumptions about in which the culture they live. Its just that atheism and materialism ARE the current culture so you get assmad when the shoe's on the other foot. Pottery.
>>24829944NTA just felt like being a prick
>>24829951I have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about and you sound schizo, I don’t care about atheism
>>24829450Yes Abraham was a tribesmen who wanted to sell his wife's private parts to egyptians but they found out that she is married and dumped her
>>24829414Honestly for most people this is basically good advice.
This is too flat of a reading that I doubt you read it or were not paying attention. SK does provide responses to your view.Kierkegaard never denied that the Knight of Faith appears delusional, as you notice, he even insists that it is looks that way. It is showing the limit of reason and ethics.Where you are going wrong is that the delusional person does not notice this contradiction and believes in the voices.SK thinks that there are people who either merely follow society or the voices without question and these are both not engaging with faith in the way that he describes it.Faith still engages reason and ethic. The Knight of Faith feels the full weight of the contradiction. That is why it's called "Fear and Trembling." He passes through the despair rather than ignores it, he understands that ethics that are left behind.And the reason you cannot see the difference between this Knight and the two examples of men following society or voices is because faith is an inward experience. If you haven't experienced "Fear and Trembling" and those kinds of limits, then it cannot be understood further than this.
>>24829408>Example is a guy having oneitis for a woman he’ll never have and expecting God to give her to youBut that's literally me for real
>>24829414>Do as you're told until deathThat's not what he's saying. Progs are just retards
>>24829649>yet, no one can stop the spread of IslamMuslims themselves
>>24829765Soren was Prot and that's why it doesn't make any sense to you, his position is essentially fideism which is erroneous in Catholic theology
>>24831032What do you need to get a muslim femboy? Asking for a friend haha
>>24829895who gives a shit
>>24829408Kierkegaard isn't simply = Johannes de Silentio. If you pay attention to what the pseudonym says, he doesn't seem to have experienced faith and he's skeptical about whether he's met anyone who has.>"For my own part I don't lack the courage to think a thought whole.">"I am convinced that God is love; this thought has for me a pristine lyrical validity. When it is present to me I am unspeakably happy, when it is absent I yearn for it more intensely than the lover for the beloved; but I do not have faith; this courage I lack.">"But I wonder whether all my contemporaries really are capable of making the movement of faith?">"I for my part can indeed describe the movements of faith, but I cannot perform them.">"In my own experience I frankly admit to having found no reliable examples, though I would not deny on that ground that possibly every other person is one. Still, I have tried now in vain for several years to track one down."
>>24829429Modern conservatives are just nihilistic jewish atheists, anyways.
You can tell this board is full of illiterate bunkertrannies now, because Kierkegaard is literally describing a muse.
>>24832204he just like me frfr
>>24832598A muse is just an old word for a oneitis
>>24829408>Oh ok, back to NietzscheNietzsche would despise you.
>>24832598they are mostly dggers so you know they are never touching grass
>>24829408Isn't this idea in order to make an attempt at defining a genuine faith contrasted with what kierkagaard considered the wholesale ethical faith of everyone else. He uses a pseudonym too for this. Quit being retarded and read slower OP
>>24829450>there was never a real man with real faith enough to sacrifice his sonLudicrous. There are an abundance of fathers throughout history who would sell their sons cheaply to much lesser powers. I'm sure it would be trivial to find a schizo who murdered his son at the behest of a voice in his head.
>>24829408Hot take but maybe we need a balance between faith and science
