I'm an Enneagram 4 (451 tritype) so thinking I am different is part of how I cope.
Like I said, you came charging in with all sorts of generalizations about people. Your first interaction with me was bizarre, and you were needlessly antagonistic (ironically while complaining about other people being the same) while seeminginly having me all figured out already.
It seems like you've now realized that your pre-conceived ideas about atheists were off the mark, and the push-back has made you more thoughtful. I hope to see that continue. I'm glad you don't mean to be condescending; I don't either. I call things how I see them, but I can be wrong in my assessments.
What you say about my view of atheist changing slightly is def true since I didn't know the proper definition until someone pointed it out to me. I now find the stance of atheism not as haughty and arrogant as I originally thought, though I think it still largely comes with the territory. That said, ofc you have to go on a case by case basis.
I at least try and make an attempt to correct myself when I have been proven wrong. I don't always because sometimes my ego gets in the way, but at least I can admit that as well.
@robvalue, I had to search my notifications to see where I first engaged with you. I think what I was commenting on and what you responded to somewhat fits in with my beliefs so I might talk about that if it comes up. And no, I was not trying to be antagonistic. I was just trying to show that the scientific method might not be as fool proof as most people believe.
But your individuality and your present need will be swept away by change,
and what you now ardently desire will one day become the object of abhorrence.
