In the search for *absolute truth* the limits of knowledge has to be understood. Since we are feeble of mind, anything we truly know would be questioned by us nonetheless. The truest truth would have to be questioned because we may have erred!Do you think that any of your religious beliefs are provable?

The best we can try to do is approach the possibilities of something being true or not true or not free from all bias, etc.
And then work with what is most likely true or not, until it is either true or is not true any longer, etc.
This is not easy to do since most human beings are some of the most biased people on the planet, and often don't like to change their current paradigms, etc. But this is part of what it means to be objective, etc.
And all people usually all disagree on this also, which makes it even more difficult, etc.
But when presented with might more than likely be irrefutable facts, consider changing your current paradigm, etc.
God Bless.
No such thing on the large scale .... either facts are irrefutable or not. Often, very often statements are stated as "facts", when those statements are dependent on accurate data sources (which can be in error) and the analyzation/interpretation of that data (subjective).But when presented with might more than likely be irrefutable facts
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse (Romans 1:19, 20).
Everything that we believe to be true is subjective though we believe those things because we think that they are in accordance with objective reality. Our religious beliefs are proved to us because we have been given what we consider to be sufficient evidence for that they are in accordance with objective reality.Do you think that any of your religious beliefs are provable?

If our religion could easily be proven to be true, we would not need faith.Do you think that any of your religious beliefs are provable?

Belief itself is not objective, but subjective, since they're shaped by personal experiences, values, and perspectives. However, the evidence or reasoning behind a belief can be evaluated objectively.Do you think that any of your religious beliefs are provable?

I agree that religious beliefs are chiefly subjective. Maybe all beliefs are chiefly subjective. I am not so sure about objectivity existing for the method or the process of evaluating beliefs.Belief itself is not objective, but subjective, since they're shaped by personal experiences, values, and perspectives.

Human beings "know" through their mind and their senses; we also have instruments to augment the senses. The mediation of knowledge through senses and augmenting instruments implies the possibility of bias and selectivity. In theory God knows everything and knows it exhaustively, but human beings do not know everything and probably do not know anything exhaustively. I have used "objectively" to mean to know exhaustively.What is your take on what is objective?
I can agree with that, because that would imply that nothing is truly objective without the overall picture of everything. We all live inside a subjective world through our own interpretation of sense-perception. However, this would give grounds to semi-nihilism, in that there is hardly any real meaning to our own individual lives in light of the bigger picture, because it is purely subjective in nature.Human beings "know" through their mind and their senses; we also have instruments to augment the senses.

I suspect that atheism ought to end in practical nihilism.I can agree with that, because that would imply that nothing is truly objective without the overall picture of everything.
