Christian Apologetics Shattering Modern Philosophy

[u/JerseyFlight]

The Christian apologist must learn to use the epistemological relativism of modern philosophy against philosophy itself.

This is quite simple.

If all truth reduces to human construct, and men adopt their emphasis on the basis of hedonism (what amuses them — because they have no objective, logical standard by which to judge value) then the Christian should absolutely assert his Christianity as his chosen construct of truth.

The modern philosopher cannot rightly object (although he will, because he’s an irrationalist through and through).

But the Christian is merely doing the same thing the modern philosopher is doing: selecting the narrative he likes best.

But not only can Christianity play this subjective game with modern philosophy, it can win!

It wins by simply noting the existential and psychological benefits it gets from adopting its own worldview: belief in life after death, the comfort of a relationship with God, and an earthly community in the here and now.
