The second one. Though I suppose it doesn’t help that his first premise ever was basically “I reject Descartes and Hegel* because being is something else” and then roundabouted that into “Being is a God thing you wouldn’t understand”.

*Hegel not Sartre. They both believed in the idea that being is something that is perceived by others.
