Re: Soren Kierkegaard on Faith and Reason

When Christianity entered the world it presupposed want, distress, the 
suffering of the anguished conscience, the hunger that cries out only for 
food – and then Christianity was the food. Nowadays we think that we have 
to offer appetizers before we can get people to enter into faith. What 
appetizers? The preaching of the law? No, no! Christianity must be served 
with such appetizer seasonings as proofs, grounds, probability, and the 
like. This means we betray Christianity, we actually deny that it is 
unconditionally the food, that the fault lies in men, that they should be 
properly starved out.
