We'll explore why changing your mind once doesn't obligate you to keep changing it back whenever someone repeats arguments you've already evaluated.Along the way, I also give a shoutout to one of my favorite YouTube channels, NonStampCollector, whose hilarious animated videos combine sharp atheist humor with thoughtful commentary.Have you ever been told you're "closed-minded" simply because you're no longer convinced by arguments you've already examined?
