The Bible talks about how the heart 'gathers iniquity to itself'. I found a parallel with cognitive bias. This is where we automatically filter out information that challenges our presuppositions. I explore finding cognitive bias in ourselves and how we can have fruitful conversations with people that may have cognitive bias.


Heart gathers iniquity on autopilot Ps 41:6 ;
Cessationists and atheists ignore what Pentecostals don't;
Demonizing people we disagree with;
Consequences of demonizing the enemy;
I used to be a New Ager so I understand their perspective;
People we disagree with believe they have valid points;
Winning an argument versus the 'bigger picture';
Solutions;
Seek first to understand and then to be understood;
Ascribing noble intent;
Consider the impact of what you may say;
Be open to new and challenging ideas;
Find common ground and work from there;
