I think we confuse assholes with a philosophical stance.
Ex: there are asshole atheist and asshole theist. I call them fundamentalist.
But you must remember. I can't understand why a person would ignore what the universe shows them, or if you are a believer, god shows us. To have "faith" based on "what I don't know" is silly to me. Within reason. I do have faith that my football will win if they are good enough before the game.
It is ok to believe in a higher power. It is really anti-Christ to teach bible literacy. Jesus himself stood against this. He wasn't even Christian.
But to answer your question. A guy named teeknow does these things. When they reach the limit of their understanding they first reword, then miss quote, then onto flat out say you said something you never said. These tricks are to knock you off balance. Stay on topic. Ignore adjectives.
both theist and atheist do this. In fact, most assholes do this. Being "asshole" is independent of belief.
