Subjectivism not only produces error and distortion, but it breeds arrogance as well. To believe what I believe simply because I believe it or to argue that my opinion is true simply because it is my opinion is the epitome of arrogance. If my views cannot stand the test of objective analysis and verification, humility demands that I abandon them. But the subjectivist has the arrogance to maintain his position with no objective support or corroboration. To say to someone, “If you like to believe what you want to believe, that’s fine; I’ll believe what I want to believe,” only sounds humble on the surface.
—R. C. Sproul, Knowing Scripture
