If a universalist (Christian who thinks all people are saved) presents 1 John 2:2, And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world, and verses like it, and makes no mention of verses which refer to eternal torment, that's confirmation bias.
If he brings up verses which refer to eternal torment, but argues that eternal doesn't mean eternal, without end doesn't mean without end, etc., that's special pleading.
Agreed.
