    No neither do astrophysicists, they think it might be true with healthy skepticism

    or they have proven it true with observation, neither of which applies to religion

    are you confident you’re not the arrogant one?

      I’m making no claims of the unknown, other than defending the possibility of something that cannot be proven or disproven to exist. You’re openly discrediting the beliefs of others through your own understanding. What sounds more arrogant to you?

        I never denied the possibility, I denied we should believe in those things

        it sounds incredibly arrogant to me to assume you know something without evidence

          Arrogance comes into play when one person asserts their beliefs over another’s.

          They weren’t stating that you should believe in god.

          You were stating that they shouldn’t.

            Yes, they shouldn’t because they have no evidence and are therefore arrogantly asserting something they have no reason to believe

              You see someone holding a belief you don’t agree with as arrogant, but not your unwanted criticism of it? Forget arrogance. You may be a narcissist.

                Yes, belief without evidence is peak narcissism in my eyes

                it is the definition of delusion
