Kierkegaard and Barth inspire me at times.


A lot of us like to experience religion and God as we would experience walking along the side of a cliff, though feeling the panic and vertigo that would come as a result of the fall from the cliff we are kept safe from the fall by merely walking around the edges. This keeps us from an authentic encounter with God rendering religion something to be merely sensed in a cheap and slightly thrilling manner. Never taking into account that the christian faith is lived off of faith which requires a strange detachment from absolute logic and a fall into the abyss of faith and an authentic encounter with God through prayer and His Word which are the holy scriptures.
