Comments on: Nuclear Rapture https://www.isegoria.net/2011/05/nuclear-rapture/ From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:43:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Isegoria https://www.isegoria.net/2011/05/nuclear-rapture/comment-page-1/#comment-222184 Isegoria Wed, 25 May 2011 13:32:26 +0000 http://www.isegoria.net/?p=25004#comment-222184 The issue is not that a religious person — or a person not like me — had an important job. This was akin to someone announcing his strong Jedi belief in The Force from having watched the Star Wars movies — to a stranger sitting next to him on an airplane, for no apparent reason. And with the added complication that it was a former nuclear sub crewman with unusual ideas about the end-times, not simply a guy doing an important job with unusual religious beliefs.

I think it’s more of “this guy is not like me so he must be incompetent” bias.
