"In my experience, the people who criticize me believing, don't understand religion. Instead of just asking questions with an open mind, they assume, presume, accuse and make asses of themselves." This is an absolute statement. If something is absolute, it is 100% one way or another; it is not relative or comparative. It doesn't leave room for variation - just as here. Glad to help. I'll kinda defend movieliker here. He did qualify it with "in my experience." I mentioned early on that it could be that he just hasn't encountered any atheists who were knowledgeable about religion. Of course, the fact that he then proceeded to state one false claim about Christianity that thor corrected him on, and another about Jesus and the Virgin being a parable that I corrected him on, probably indicates that he actually doesn't understand religion himself and is simply using "people who criticize me don't understand religion" to mean "if someone disagrees with me they must not understand religion." It's Arlon's Dunning-Kruger effect in another form. He is way too obdurate and back-peddling in his approach for me to really afford him any benefit of the doubt. His comments are constantly contradicting his own stance of what he began with. To me, that just boils down to confusion of belief and a rigid mindset that isn't wanting to listen to reason.
