28. God / A. Divine Nature / 2. Divine Nature

7586	God does not think or exist; God creates, and is eternal [Kierkegaard]
	Full Idea: God does not think, He creates; God does not exist, he is eternal.
	From: Søren Kierkegaard (Concluding Unscientific Postscript [1846], 'Thinker')
	A reaction: The sort of nicely challenging remarks we pay philosophers to come up with. I don't understand the second claim, but the first one certainly avoids all paradoxes that arise if God experiences all the intrinsic problems of thinking.
