John P. Sartre

I never thought of human being's existence as preceding essence, nor have I though of human beings as essence preceding existence. Its crazy how it all depends on your own beliefs; apparently everything in life seems to tie into "one's own beliefs". It is all based on whether or not you are one of the atheistic existentialism or theistic existentialism. To be of the atheistic, is to believe that existence precedes essence versus theist who believe essence precedes existence. The atheist cut God from all things leaving them undetermined by him. They have the freedom to be whatever they please therefore existence without an identity. In contrast to the theistic who are very well determined by God and follow his guidelines giving them purpose and identity.
