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.
