Kierkegaard?

Sounds like my idea of a good vacation. Silence. Peace.
I would like to hear more on Kierkegaard. I want to know why Elaine sees him as a postmodernist and what Bill sees him saying about the connection between spirit and self. He seems as though he was a complex and melancholy guy.

On Bill's reading Kierkegaard and his ruminations On faith

OK, Bill, I am assuming you are reading Sickness Unto Death because this is his most popular book and it is the one that allows atheists to regard faith from a point of view not over run by Christian terminology to the point where all he hears is "Blah, blah, blah" the book makes no case for Christianity but does make a particular case for faith as separate from religion which is an important distinction to have under your belt. 
Before we go any father are we discussing Sickness Unto Death?
