After a long day at work, three baseball umpires meet at a diner for a drink. When the discussion turns to their philosophy of umpiring, one ump declares, "There's balls and there's strikes and I call 'em the way they are." Another responds, "There's balls and there's strikes and I call 'em the way I see 'em." The third says, "There's balls and there's strikes, and they ain't nothin' until I call 'em." The third umpire, who sees truth as entirely personal, is what we might call “postmodern.” Christians, on the other hand, would be more like the second umpire, who recognizes that there is an objective reality even if our ability to perceive it is somewhat limited.
