Tip #32 Who Are You Trying To Convince?
Aug. 30th, 2015 01:17 amTo be absolutely clear, this tip is not accusing anybody of not actually believing what they claim to believe. This is about arguments made.
In the previous tip, I talked about the tactic of judging non-believers' by expectations believers have on how they would act/believe in the non-believers' place. If I agreed that I would act or believe like that... well, I'd already agree with you, wouldn't I?
Similarly, I know my own morality better than you, so telling me that I have to borrow it from your worldview will never convince me. Neither will telling me that I already know you're right.
