In my honest opinion Sartre has done more to drive people to christ with his philodophy than Nietzsche.
Sartre believed that things either existed as objects or as an essence. He denied the idea of humans having a human nature. His philosophy also denied the existance of love, obhective moral value, and gratitude. He is however perhaps the most consistant and honest hypocrite I have ever read about. He knew what atheism logically entailed but instead of being horrified he found it thrilling. Dostoyevsky said that if God didnt exist everything was permissible. He said that to show that since not everything is morally permissible God must exist.
I must say I am happy that I have a sponge like mind. I desire to learn and you know sometimes the uncomfortable helps you find great truth. Hell is not other people as sartre thought. Hell is loneliness, shame, and the absence of love.
In many ways Sartre seems to mirror christian thinkers. For instance he and Camus both said mans deepest desire is to understand his purpose. Augistine said something simmiliar. As did Kierkegaard and Solomon who said that rhe aim of mans heart is to take the leap of faith serving God. Sartre however takes meaning to be impossible thus everything is absurd and meaning is subjective.
I thank Peter Kreeft for his books. I am not a philosopher but I do want to learn.
