I think you will find this enlightening:




And to add to that: self-serving bias. Just keep in mind that ego and self-serving bias is something we ALL have to put up with to one extent or another (some just a little and can see past it with little effort while others drown in it).

I don't much understand it, though. I once believed (I'm agnostic about it today) a vision I had of Freya meant Freya was absolutely real and She'd Sung my soul into existence. I didn't care that others didn't believe in Her or in my experience. Of course when others (usually a Christian, but not just them) dismissed my experience and faith out of hand while promoting their own (if they were honest they'd have said, "MY God and Heaven are real and you're closed minded if you refuse to believe as I do as my beliefs are obvious to any rational person, but YOUR goddess and Her heaven are obviously fake and you're deluded because you believe in a different subjective and unprovable reality than my own") then I got snarky (but more sardonic than contemptuous), but as I was a teen at the time I think I can be excused.
