Theists of all varying religious beliefs tend to have some, if not all personality traits (which are common to all humans in varying degrees) OR perhaps “thought patterns” that reflect or mould their personality. A “hard” theist will double-down based on “feelings” versus logic, so at times both have to be engaged and/or “let go” (what’s the point if it has no real impact in my life or society via say, politics or legislative proposals). In my experience they are as follows:
• adherence to a “higher invisible authority”
• special knowledge regarding authority’s words or meanings (allows for sects of same book)
• feelings of “comfort” in knowing right and wrong
• feelings of superiority for being “right”
• dismissal of counter arguments based on “source” (ad hominem, ie worldly people, other religions, atheists, etc)
• changing the meaning of commonly held words to communicate meaning to suite their point of view - unwillingness to bend or find a common word to communicate “meaning”
• usually adheres to a morally superior stance
Hopefully, over time, some information trickles in … always, it is up to the individual person to self-examine their own thought and reasoning processes.
