No, I hear ya. I've had some downright UNPLEASANT conversations with people who are utterly assured I don't exist, because LOGIC, and believed that treating me as a human being was DISRESPECTFUL.

And of course, there was no arguing with them, because I was a complex delusion who shouldn't be catered to. And of course, the angrier I got, the more obviously wrong I was.

Even more annoying, they'd never actually state their criteria of personhood, thereby ensuring they could just move the goalposts with whatever evidence I gave. It's not a hypothesis if you can't say what makes it true or false, genius!

I hear ya. It's frustrating that so many people who profess to believe in logic and science, seem to be not only incapable of understanding the difference between dogma and science. But think that their own personal theories count as science. It demeans everything they profess to believe in.

I'm sorry you've had to deal with these douchebags on such a personal level. >>:(

Thankfully, it's only happened a few times, and I've just reached the point that when I see the conversation going that way, I just leave. I'd rather spend my energy on something useful.

But yeah, science and rationality isn't just, "my thinky thoughts which are totally unclouded by emotion or confirmation bias," it's testable, provable, changeable theories based on the evidence given by the world around you. Hell, emotions and reasons are not mutually exclusive; there are plenty of things that I support and believe in both intellectually AND emotionally.
