Welcome

Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor.-Soren Kierkegaard

If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe. - Soren Kierkegaard

I am no Scholar, and definitely not an expert on Kierkegaard, but I do find the concept of paradoxes interesting. And of course, I do think of myself as a thinker of sorts, maybe not a brilliant one, but as a human being, I do think, and I enjoy it. I enjoy it also when done with others, as a community. Hence this blog.

I will soon be entering my fifth year of education beyond high school and my first year of seminary. This is my blog, my dialogue with you.

The format of this blog will be simple, I will start with a picture or a quote, could be anything. A brief paragraph or so pertaining to this quote will follow, and then a question. This question is one of the most important parts, I wish to hear from you. Sometimes the question will call for a response, other times it will be a thought experiment or a internal question to be answered by you and for you.

So with that I begin. My question for this time is: "Does the existence of paradoxes strengthen or weaken your faith?"
