“To defend something is always to discredit it. Let a man have a warehouse full of gold, let him be willing to give away a ducat to every one of the poor - but let him also be stupid enough to begin this charitable undertaking of his with a defense in which he offers three good reasons in justification; and it will almost come to the point of people finding it doubtful whether indeed he is doing something good. But now for Christianity. Yes, the person who defends that has never believed in it.” PeopleMenGivingPersonsReasonEnoughThreePoorChristianityStupidWillingOffersFindingsGoldDefenseJustificationUndertakingsDoubtfulCharitableDiscreditWarehouse Author:Soren Kierkegaard

“What if one of the core elements of a radical Christianity lay in a demand that we betray it, while the ultimate act of affirming God required the forsaking of God?
