Interesting. Yes, it is true that bias has a profound effect on your theological views, both theist and atheist. It's very difficult to escape.

I don't agree 100% with his statement. I would replace the word "materialist" with "honest"! Also the reference to "Luciferian", I see as bigoted. But I would agree that if one was hurt viciously they would naturally have aversions towards the beliefs of the perpetrator.

I find your second sentence ironic. You're being intellectually dishonest with yourself in saying this. I'd be surprised if there's a worldview that DOESN'T claim to be the honest one, except postmodernism, that would claim both about itself. I certainly wouldn't be caught claiming that Christianity is the honest one in front of a bunch of people who disagree. That would indeed not improve a discussion.

It apparently takes intellectual honesty to be any worldview.

So do you think people cannot be rationally honest?
Re: "It apparently takes intellectual honesty to be any worldview."
I disagree it only takes a major consensus to be a world view, and with all the yesmen in the world that consensus could be that of world leaders, billionaires or clergy and the like.

"So do you think people cannot be rationally honest?"
Close, I believe that it's extremely difficult for someone to be near-wholly rationally honest. Our brains don't have the capacity to catch every premature assumption and come to every logical conclusion without bias. The result is, I think, that one in ten thousand people have a mostly correct belief system (and one in ten thousand of that ten thousand have it due to unbiased reason) and that about one in one billion imagine it mostly correctly too.

"I disagree it only takes a major consensus to be a world view"
Not what I meant. That was supposed to be sarcastic, in context of how I said that every worldview claims to be intellectually honest.
Though, my typical definition of worldview means that it has to potentially exist to be a worldview (for example, if nobody believed in Marxism, it'd still be a worldview) and that there are about 8.28 billion different worldviews in the world right now, because everybody's view of the world differs, even in the slightest of ways. If you defined worldviews as general umbrella worldviews, (like marxism, secular humanism, Christianity, etc.) You're mostly right, though I would still say the worldview only has to be potentially existent.
