Seems to me objectivity is not solely proprietary to non-Christians. Was it Descartes that questioned even the possibility of objectivity by anyone at any time? Kierkegaard did not operate scientifically, in today's terms, but he may have observed and reflected on human behavior as objectively as anyone else. Perhaps his whole enterprise was not scientific, therefore not "objective" in that sense. He applied his observations, the accuracy of which could be debated, to the existential condition of humanity, and its implications regarding faith. Those applications and conclusions might be less than objective, and even ruled out as irrelevant questions by some. What do you make of the causa sui issue raised in these discussions of the human situation? I think that is quite interesting philosophically and metaphysically.
