Greg Koukl on Thinking Your Beliefs are True

 

"Since everyone - religious person, atheist, scientist, skeptic - believes his beliefs are true, it has always struck me as odd when some have been faulted simply for thinking their views are correct.  They've even been labeled intolerant or bigoted for doing so.  But what is the alternative?  The person objecting thinks his own views correct as well, which is why he's objecting.  Both parties in the conversation think they're right and the other wrong.  Whey, then, is only the religious person (usually) branded a bigot for doing so?"1

Courage and Godspeed,

Chad
