...it is presumptuous ridicule of god if someone thinks that only the person who desires great wealth chooses mammon. alas, the person who insists on having a penny without god, wants to have a penny all for himself. he thereby chooses mammon. a penny is enough, the choice is made, he has chosen mammon; that it is little makes not the slightest difference. the love of god is hatred of the world and love of the world hatred of god.

Christian Thinking World And Love

More From Soren Kierkegaard

For christianity is a fighting religion. it thinks god has made the world- that space and time, heat and cold, and all the colors and tastes, and all the animals and vegetables, are things that god 'made up out of his head' as a man makes up a story. but it also thinks that a great many things have gone wrong with the world that god made and that god insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again.

The three monotheism share a series of identical forms of aversion: hatred of reason and intelligence; hatred of freedom; hatred of all books in the name of one book alone; hatred of sexuality, women,and pleasure; hatred of feminine; hatred of body, of desires, of drives. instead judaism, christianity, and islam extol faith and belief, obedience and submission, taste for death and longing for the beyond, the asexual angel and chastity, virginity and monogamous love, wife and mother, soul and spirit. in other words, life crucified and nothingness exalted.
Mother Atheist Book
It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. but wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. there must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.

Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice... man has to be a man-by choice; he has to hold his life as a value-by choice; he has to learn to sustain it-by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues by choice. a code of values accepted by choice is a code of morality.
Men Practice Choices
Psychologism is, i believe, correct only in so far as it insists upon what may be called 'methodological individualism' as opposed to 'methodological collectivism'; it rightly insists that the 'behaviour' and the 'actions' of collectives, such as states or social groups, must be reduced to the behaviour and to the actions of human individuals. but the belief that the choice of such an individualist method implies the choice of a psychological method is mistaken.

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.
