I feel myself tossed back and forth between Nietzsche's self-reliant atheism and Kierkegaard's self-transcending Christianity - depending on the day, I prefer one or the other. You wouldn't know which one I happen to be living out of on the surface. But deep within my itty bitty heart, there's a dance going on between Dionysus and the Crucified.
