First, it’s important to know that if we want to show that a position is false, we can’t do so by pointing to the qualities of the person holding that position. In someone’s eyes, it may be arrogant to claim that another person’s path to God is a deception, but that doesn’t mean the claim itself is wrong. Religious fundamentalists may seem bigoted, but that doesn’t mean their worldview is incorrect. They may seem judgmental, but their attitude has no bearing on the accuracy of their beliefs.
