Why does antipathy surround Alex Kierkegaard's work? Is it purely due to his writing style?
So many authors have said so much more that is offensive. Yet you don't see people calling authors out as just "bullshitting" as much as people call Alex out for this, on the internet at least.
Is it because he challenges the internet (i.e. the popular philosophies of our time) specifically? Was Nietzsche really right when he said this quote? Nietzsche challenged the popular philosophies of HIS time; would people who rail on Alex be no better than those professors who thought Nietzsche was full of shit back then, whom we have all forgotten about (since they were wrong)?

Alex Kierkegaard (pen name) aka Antony Zyrmpas or Icycalm.

You answered it yourself, these people will be forgotten and Alex will stay. Time will wash the vermin out of history.

I haven't read any Kierkegaard directly yet. From what I've gathered, people seem to turned off by two aspects of his work:
1) We can not reach God through reason, so belief in God is a matter of faith, which is an inherently irrational choice.
and
2) "Nah bro, trust me, deep down, you're profoundly unfulfilled and anxiety ridden and God is the only answer."
I don't know how much of a mischaracterization this is, but I'm looking forward to reading his stuff.
