Craving Answers, Craving God

Is Christian Faith “Subjective”? (Ep141)


Listen Later

Unbelievers sometimes critique Christian faith for being subjective—based on unprovable personal opinions. In response, some Christians have tried to argue that their beliefs are actually objective and based on provable evidence. However, both the accusation and the defense stem from a modernist perspective that incorrectly prioritizes "scientific" viewpoints over all others.

This distortion hides the reality that all viewpoints—not just religious ones—are inherently subjective. No one's ideas are based purely on provable evidence; instead, all concepts rest on unprovable foundational assumptions. For instance, both the belief that God exists and the belief that He does not are based not on "reason" alone, but on faith.

In the realm of Christian apologetics, attempting to prove that God exists or that Christianity is objectively true has largely been unfruitful. A more effective approach involves pointing materialists to their own unperceived biases while introducing them to the narrative of sacred scripture.
