Climacus/Kierkegaard was not addressing whether “what [the
believer] is
being faithful about exists,” nor does he seem to think that
such theistic
arguments are good or even useful (Climacus certainly
doesn’t, but we are
not quite as certain on Kierkegaard himself [though I
think he agrees]). The
issue is that of the relationship between explicit
formalizations (in the
sense of creeds, treatises, dogmas, etc.) and the
meaning in the life of the
believer. Hence, a believer’s existence has (or
can have) “enormous content”
even if they cannot be put into
words.
Please understand what you are criticizing before you criticize
it.

“enormous content” contained? In a religious colostomy bag hanging from the
waist? Concealed underneath your wig - or down in the dark nether-regions
where thar’ be monsters?
ringing!
