LIT - Christianity is Not a Mere "Personal Truth" (Episode 3: Faith Doesn't Have to be Blind)

Neil DeGrasse Tyson claims that "religious truths" are just "personal truths." If this was correct, it would put Christian truth claims such as, "Jesus rose from the dead," in the same category as claims such as, "Bubble ice cream is the best flavour in the whole world." But this is a serious distortion of what the Bible teaches and how Christians have always understood their own beliefs. Jesus, his disciples, and generations of Christians, have been willing to suffer and die for what they held to be true. That's not something that people will do for personal, subjective truths akin to one's favourite flavour of ice cream. Tyson's view of religious claims are disrespectful and a perversion of what Christianity is all about.
