    atheists are too narcissistic

    Do you mean arrogant? Because I don’t think we’re narcissistic anymore than we’re self-assured

    I’m not gonna try to convince you to change your mind, but I will say that a lot of us atheists hold similar beliefs in a strict sense within the scientific framework that makes us agnostics with every unknown. I think you’ve heard of people saying sarcastically that they’re agnostic of the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, right?

    In a practical sense we simply don’t pretend that we need absolute certainty with an omniscient-level of understanding to read between the lines of the reality that’s right in front of us. Take that as narcissism if you must, but there’s no reason to be conflate being self-assured with a sweeping personality trait

    E: Also, sorry in advance for typing like an obnoxious atheist
