Kierkegaard was born in the capital of Demark, he grew up with bothparents; was very religious and educated. His father was a strongbeliever that none of his children would live past the ages of JesusChrist which is 33. I found this funny because Kierkegaard fatherlived to be 82 and his mother passed at 66. When Kierkegaard's fatherpassed away he asks Kierkegaard to become a priest in whichKierkegaard when on to fulfill.Kierkegaard became a strong believer in existentialism, which is thefocus on the meaning of essence of your lives. Existentialismquestions existence of human. Another concept is existence proceedsessence which state that through you as individual its how you createyour life that so the essence of existence. Kierkegaard believes inthe concept of dread for example when experienced by children whenfaced the possibility of responsibility for his or her actions, isone of the main forces in a child's individuations. Bad faith is lookbad upon bad use of freedom and is frowned uponKierkegaard believes that making choice without allowing your valuesreflect with your other values. He believes that choosing not to makechoices and flipping the coin is considered to be a refusal of onesfreedom. Freedom is a concept in existentialism is states, "Since manis free, and since he already exists in this world, it is impliedthat his freedom is only in this world, and that it, too, isrestricted by it." Kierkegaard thinks this is very important and tomake the right decision on how you choose to use your freedom. Hebelieves that bad faith is look bad upon; this is because it is lookat as freedom that is frowned upon.I feel that existentialism reflect on Christianity because theChristian religion reflects on good faith and existence to live onthis earth. Christianity also reflects on the freedom; each human isworthily of and until you betray that freedom you are worthily ofthat freedom. But they a strong believers that essence of existentsof human, they are strong believers in living life helping others andmaking this world a amazing place to live with all the rightdecisions and if you choose to make bad ones you correct it. This ishow I think existentialism reflects on Christianity. Kierkegaard is avery strong believer of the Christianity life and existentialismtheories. .
