Rational arguments for the truth of theism are no longer supposed to work. Some Christians therefore advise that we should simply share our narrative and invite people to participate in it.
This sort of thinking is guilty of a disastrous misdiagnosis of contemporary culture. The idea that we live in a postmodern culture is a myth. In fact, a postmodern culture is an impossibility; it would be utterly unlivable. People are not relativistic when it comes to matters of science, engineering, and technology; rather, they are relativistic and pluralistic in matters of religion and ethics. But, of course, that's not postmodernism; that's modernism! That's just old-line verificationism, which held that anything you can't prove with your five senses is a matter of personal taste. We live in a culture that remains deeply modernist.

---William Lane Craig, from "God Is Not Dead Yet", published online at Christianity Today

According to Craig, we do not live in a post-modern world, but a deeply modernist one. In this type of world, where things are suppose to be rational unless creativity is involved (religion and ethics are creative, or in need of non-analytical thinking, so to speak). If creativity or art is needed it means we are dealing with something there is no data or computer code to replicate, meaning irrationality ensues.

The fact is, the Christian community participates in art, creativity and irrationality, day in and day out. Our community is a narrative we invite people to participate in and learn from, as a person gazing at a painting finds more and more meaning. A person may not believe in a painting's value until he or she reads an essay that explains the artist's approach and the meaning behind the work. So to, a person in church may need to be persuaded by a good sermon or a caring, loving, and sharing friend, but those actions are the minority of the Christian community's life. The majority of the community's time is spent in the irrational, the creative, the order of service, the liturgy, prayer, song, dance---all things that are part of a narrative and not in the analytical or scientific.

Every time we go to church we participate in something that is irrational. Bread and wine become Christ in us does not make logical sense. Some scientist would be all to eager to test if the bread we partake of and the wine we drink changes genetically upon blessing or consumption. If it was scientifically proven that it did not turn into Christ, or even still that Christ is not "present" at the table, would we listen? Would we even care? I doubt it. We participate in irrationality, and we like it!

Faith is the evidence of things unseen, and most of the liturgy revolves around not what is seen by the eye or heard by the ear but what is beyond sight and sound and senses: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, the saints on earth, the saints in heaven. We pray for the Church but only see the gathering in our midst. That means there are about 1,999,999,900 or so (give and take a bit) other Christians who we cannot see yet pray for, and more in heaven. And we cannot see God, literally, unless we have some crazy Moses in the cleft type event. And those don't happen very often.

Our world wants answers, and we always need to be ready to give an answer for our faith. Fortunately, we have been called out of a modernist world full of reletavism and pluralism. We are a peculiar people(or post-modern, or pre-modern, or Otherly people). We know what we believe: it's in the creeds. We know what we sing: it's in the hymns of the saints from Paul until now. We know what we preach: the Word of God. We know what we eat: the body and blood of Christ.

And if that means participating in the narrative isn't an answer the world is wiling to hear, than so be it.
