The twenty-two year old Soren Kierkegaard pondered a host of interests in this Journal entry from August 1, 1835.  He said in his Journals of 1837: Christianity has a certain settling power by affirming the highest degree of relativity, by presenting an idea, an ideal, which is so great that all others disappear alongside it. Therefore, it is always far more enjoyable to converse with a Christian, because he has a criterion which is definite; he has a fullness in comparison with which the infinite differences in capacities, occupations, etc., are nothing.
