Similarities Between Fear And Trembling By Kierkegaard

Many people consider god to be their savior and have been for several centuries now. There seems to be no limit when discussing god, some followers were even ready to cause destruction over their faith in god and what they believed was right. There has been so much conflict caused in the fight for which god was superior or purest. Wars, mass destruction and genocides are results god in the past; people were ready to die for their beliefs in god. Belief in god can be like a drug, able to drive people to believe just about anything it preaches.
My beliefs in god are that it is for the weak and insecure, those who feel they need to be anchored down by someone or thing. Many might say my opinion is naïve or close minded, but in reality it is only
In Exordium, a story is told of a father who is commanded by god to sacrifice his only son to prove his faith in god.

Llewellyn is a man who comes across a drug deal gone wrong, finding a fortune of two million dollars. Now, it does not matter what type of person one is, one may be the purest soul devoting their life to god with passion and there may be another guy who has done nothing but wrong in his life and sinned without a thought. Llewellyn could have been either of the two, regardless of who he is it will not change the chances of him coming across the money. He got lucky and found what anyone else could have found, there is no play of god here with good fortune. Llewellyn did not work for it, but found himself in a rare lucky predicament like winning the jackpot lottery. Regardless of the sacrifices one makes to a god in favor of good outcome for one self or a universal view of society all together, there is no determining or shaping one’s
