Reply to comment by HoneydewInMyAss in Nietzsche is better understood as the Father of Psychoanalysis than Existentialism; his philosophy has two components: the diagnosis of our culture's Decadence (under the Ascetic Ideal) and a prescription for health in the Dionysian Counter-Ideal by thelivingphilosophy

They're a lot less different than you'd think. Nietzsche wants you to become God, Kierkegaard wants you to look within and find God already there

Neither Kierkegaard nor Nietzsche would suggest that one "paddles with the current", both suggest a revolt against modern man to become something neither modern nor past

This is spot on, kierkegaard was the first western non-dualist.
