Reply to comment by frogandbanjo in A cross between an Existentialist and an Old Testament prophet, Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard urged his "single individual" reader to follow the "highest passion" of faith rather than becoming one of the stereotyped pseudo-individuals of "The Crowd" by thelivingphilosophy

Whups... We're not talking about Soren K. - never read him, wouldn't be able to offer any informed insight.

We were talking about faith not being a matter of speculative reasoning, rather of observed realities, in response to a comment.

The person we responded to was less interested in discussion & more impressed with their own absolute vision of reality. Since we found that incompatible with intelligent conversation, we disengaged.

Discussing faith & observable reality, that we're quite happy to kick around - cooperatively, not competitively.
