Cori: So, you're an Atheist now?
Me: Yeah, I'm a Gnostic Atheist.
Cori: What made you decide to do that?
Me: I don't believe in God. Any God. Not yours, not any other religion's.
Cori: How do you think the universe got here? It's an amazing thing.
Me: I'm not going to argue this. I respect you and I respect Christianity.
Cori: So...what if you're wrong?
Me: What if you're wrong?
Cori: I'm not.
Me: Exactly. You won't even consider the possibility that you're wrong.
As you can well imagine; the point I made ticked him off. He proceeded to walk away, and ignore me for the continuation of the day.
They arrogantly think they are the right ones regardless of other possibilities.
They never seem to consider the possibility of being wrong. That is what makes them so arrogant, they never look at other possibilities. To be open minded is to consider other possibilities.
It's blind wishful thinking really. They would never consider any other reality but their own

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
