On the onset of the discussion about Existentialism, I find difficulty of understanding it. Specially when one of its tenets is presented in class- Death of God.
According to Sartre (from the discussion), to have an absolute freedom you should somehow not believe in God. That there should be an idea that God is dead.
Because if there's no God, you WON'T feel any GUILT for doing something.
It's something like, without God, you would have the full authority of your actions and shape your destinies.
You are OUT of the BOX and FREELY DO things you DESIRE.
This idea moves me a while BUT it NEVER troubles me.
Even though the words of Existentialism is SHOUTING in front of my face:
TO SEE IS TO BELIEVE.
I STILL BELIEVE IN HIM.
For Existentialists, "You DON'T see GOD" so when you don't see something YOU SHAN'T believe in it.
I wonder how did Sartre see his future before.
Is he an ATHEIST?
Does he believe in FUTURE?
if Sartre is alive today and we come across with each other's path,
I'll refuse to be his friend NEITHER he would like me too.
A friend asks me:
She: Why do you believe in God, where in fact you DON'T SEE HIM?
I just smiles and asks her too.
Me: Why do you Exist, where in fact you DON'T SEE the AIR that you breathe?
She just smiles and turns her back :))
