Over at this website:
http://www.mormondiscussionpodcast.org - I would call this progressive mormon website.
There was discussion podcast episode on Confirmation Bias (currently still only accessible to premium members).
But the idea behind this is a belief persistence to hold true what you currently assume, and an unwillingness to consider the fact that one may be wrong.
Essentially this would turn everyone agnostic, and start to question what we assume to be true. However, without some healthy dose of skepticism we may all end up being diluted believing in things that aren't correct.
Confirmation Bias isn't limited to religion, but extends to just about every assumption we may have whether it be in sports, workplace, or just every day interpersonal life exchanges.
So all this becomes epistemology in nature.
Before I go any further, does anyone care to share methods on how to best avoid this?
