20312 | God cannot be demonstrated objectively, because God is a subject, only existing inwardly [Kierkegaard] |
Full Idea: Choosing the objective way enters upon the entire approximation-process by which it is proposed to bring God to light objectively. But this is in all eternity impossible, because God is a subject, and therefore exist only for subjectivity in inwardness. | |
From: Søren Kierkegaard (Concluding Unscientific Postscript [1846]) | |
