All 'subjective' evidence isn't equal. Some is therefore 'objective' in that sense. It doesn't have to be absolute. When some 'subjective' point of view has more demonstrable evidence than other points (not all views are equal), it has more objectivity in that sense.
It doesn't have to be demonstrable to everyone for it to be objective. For instance: what about crazy people who are too insane to understand anything properly? Is it not objective if it can't be demonstrated to them? No - some people it just can't be because they won't accept it and/or don't understand it for whatever reason(s), etc.
Because there is a big difference between absolute and objective.
Well my original question was whether you believe you have evidence for your God or whether you just accept him on blind faith. I have yet to see a response to that (other than you mentioning something about metaphysics to Kyu perhaps) - untill now.
You claim there is evidence for your God right here ('your' as in the one you believe in). And my whole original question was whether you believed there was evidence for 'your' God or not. Now I see you do believe there is.
So my second question is: What evidence is there for the God you believe in according to you?
