I've never heard of that definition.
- programmer_dude 4y agoMe neither, but I like it. When you refuse to engage with other people's arguments due to strongly held beliefs you are engaging in a religious activity. Those strongly held beliefs are your religion.
- f_devd 4y agoNeither have I but it actually lines up pretty well depending on your read of GP. Large religions often use a proving-a-negative with a pascals wager to achieve an inarguable story regardless of content. And cult religions generally do this with an Us-vs-Them approach which usually prevents members of believing external arguments.
