You're seeing contradictions because you're not actually trying to understand what I'm saying. You're just using keywords to sort me into a category you already understand. I criticise atheists, so you sort me into the evangelical Christian box and attach all the stereotypes of that image to me. Then I say I'm a scientist and you get confused.

You didn't bother learning, you just deployed prejudice. I'm using prejudice here in the neutral psychological sense of "pre judgement". You made a bunch of premature judgements about my beliefs. You should try a science based approach to understanding other people instead of just making assumptions. You'll stop being confused by my existence if you use science.

Like, for example, earlier you formed a hypothesis that I'm not a scientist, because I criticise atheists. That hypothesis turned out to be false. That means you should be revising your theory and running more tests. You shouldn't just complain about it and refuse to change when your hypotheses are false.
