i thought the world
wasn't evil, !@#$%! ?
...that Adoplh Hitler fellow (who parodied Christianity with his Blood Flag sect), I suppose you'd have to agree that he was evil, no?
Kierkegaard:
This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness . . . they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.
What every religion in which there is any truth aims at, and what Christianity aims at decisively, is a total transformation in a man, to wrest from him through renunciation and self-denial all that, and precisely that, to which he immediately clings, in which he immediately wants his life. This sort of religion, as 'man' understands it, is not what he wants.

Attack Upon Christendom
The 'once' of suffering is a transition, a passage-way. Thou must go through it, and though it were to last as long as life, and though it were as hard as a sword which transfixes your heart, it is yet only a passage-way. It is not true that it is the suffering which goes through thee, it is thou that goest through it in the eternal understanding of the case, entirely unharmed.
