That particular idea isn't from The Sickness Unto Death, that's more in Fear and Trembling. The emphasis in the sickness unto death is sin and existential terror.
Have you read "Either/Or" yet? I was having a discussion with my teacher last night about Kierkegaard and he recommended that one to me.
I haven't yet, all I've really done so far is hopped around The Sickness Unto Death, Fear and Trembling and Christian Discourses.

It is a constant contradiction between belief and doubt, a continual renewal of faith in the face of doubt and skepticism.
This is so fucking spot-on
I really gotta read that book as soon as possible.

God created sin.
Do you actually know anything about Christianity or are you just baiting
God created all things, including the rules for what is or isn't sinful.
Sin is the result of Man's failure to live in union with God's divine life. It literally means "missing the mark". There isn't a list of sins, there isn't a rule for what is and isn't sin. Sin isn't something that is "created" per se, it refers to man's failure. OUR failure. Not God's.
Are not the Ten Commandments considered rules?
Sin predates the ten commandments. If you look back, God's first commandment was not to eat from the Tree. This commandment did not create sin in and of itself. Rather, it was Adam and Eve's act of eating from the tree, failing to follow the commandment, that created sin.

I'm retarded for telling God's truth? If you deny Him you go to Hell, it's that simple
Belief in God is not a choice, an atheist like Max has no ability to just "choose" to believe that Christ died on the cross. That is how it works.
Wrong. If you've been introduced to God's word and still deny Him, you have made a choice. THAT is how it works.
It is and isn't a choice. You can embrace God's word actively, and make the leap, but it goes deeper than that. It is a constant contradiction between belief and doubt, a continual renewal of faith in the face of doubt and skepticism. It's not something you cultivate, or brainwash yourself into, you just make the leap. Faith is something beyond reason and understanding.

Apparently so. You're getting old, Max. You've gotta keep up with the internet times before you become that old guy who sprains his back when he heckels young kids on the sidewalk to stay off his lawn.
For real brah, you don't want to end up like Charlie, do you?

You can't follow the Bible without also listening to the shitty stuff it says. Most of the "shitty" stuff is old Jewish law, which doesn't apply to the people actually using the Bible, Christians. Then you're just cherry-picking what you like. At that point, there's no point in following anything it says if you're just going to do what you think is right.
This is where having a church with dogma and scriptural tradition is helpful, to guide a reader's interpretation of scripture and avoid what happens with Islam and the Qu'ran. Still, I think you miss the point. Christianity isn't about every little rule- no sodomy, no God's name in vain, etc. Obviously there are things a Christian should or shouldn't do, and they shouldn't be glanced over, but they're not really the point. That point being Christ.

I think the Bible makes a lot of pragmatic sense I mean, if you live in the 1950's mentality that women and coloreds are below the white man, then I guess that makes sense.
In his defense, he didn't say anything about race and gender. He only said that he finds the Bible to be a decent source of moral inspiration. At least that's what I got from his post.
Max's point is that racism and sexism are rampant in the Bible. Which is true.
The Bible carries the message of universal reconciliation through Christ. The covenant which was before tribal, only including the Jews, was made universal through Christ. The Bible is, in this way, a demonstration of God trampling down racist and tribal thought. As for sexism, a lot of the "rules for everyday living" stuff was in the OT, and overridden by the new covenant. I'm sure not everything, but most of it.

If we could truly comprehend and quantify God, there would be no need to treat Him as God.
Why, exactly?
Once something can be objectively analyzed, understood and measured, it becomes just another thing. If we could objectively understand God, what would it do for us? "There is a disembodied all-powerful super entity made up of [some kind of rare material], which can directly and indirectly influence matter through x process. We should probably do what it says". God is above what is gross and earthly precisely because He transcends it. There are some things that we are, frankly, incapable of comprehending. And that is okay.

have you seen the seventh seal
I think the film's main motiff- the "silence of god", is misunderstood by Bergman. Frankly, I don't think the intangibility of God is something to lament- at all. If we could truly comprehend and quantify God, there would be no need to treat Him as God. The leap of faith is not so much an action as an event which is at once voluntary and involuntary. But yeah 10/10 as far as films go. Artistic yet unpretentious.

Are you guys mad that he's "speaking his mind?"
By most Trump supporter's criteria, shouldn't you be voting him in for president?
Trump is a bad thing. He is actually dangerous. At a minimum he'll ruin several decades worth of work in international relations. At worst he's eyeing Poland for invasion.
Trump isn't dangerous because pretty much everyone knows he's a retard. Even conservatives hate Trump. He simply cannot win a general election. This is actually how I know he's not a danger to anyone or anything- if he was, you wouldn't know about it.
