Adamantly Ignorant

It really is hard to open people's eyes to their own ignorance and fouled arguments.

BELIEVE

What a strong word. Do you know what it means?

What if someone doesn't believe that which you do?

Are they cursed for eternity, because that which you believe, they never know? How?

Is their way wrong, just because it's not your way? Why?

Cannot two things be simultaneously true? Why not?



If I can counter these points that they attempt to make, their adamance comes back out. Matter-of-factly too. I even said one thing, and they repeated it differently. When I pointed this out, they refused to see the correlation, and to understand why it mattered that while we said different things, we may mean the same thing.


It is so ingrained that many of them don't even know they know nothing other than what they've been told. Then they skip around incoherently attempting to make their case, but digging a further ditch. Then although adamant in their "belief," they refuse to understand their what that adamance means based on their words.


All I wanted him to admit is that although his way is fine, other correct ways may exist.... and WOW that was like asking him to kill his mother or something.
