To be fair, convincing anyone with facts and logic is pretty tough (and not just for me), religious or not.
Turns out, that's not how humans work most of the time...
to paraphrase an interaction I saw screenshotted somewhere at some point:
"you can change people's opinions with facts"
"[link] here's a study saying that's incorrect"
"well I still think it works"
It's not logically sound to try to convince someone that you can't change opinions on the internet. Either you fail or you prove yourself wrong.
I think that my mind has been changed by facts. But how do I know? Maybe something else actually changed my mind, and I tell myself it was facts because I like to think of myself as a logical person.
