So if your partner is recognizing their way of knowing is faulty, is it a good idea to suggest a less extreme version of their belief?

I’ve noticed many people transition to less and less extreme versions of their faith before finally becoming an atheist.

You may go from Calvinist to non denominational to liberal Christian to agnostic.

So… if they’re expressing openness or doubt… rather than suggesting their entire belief is bullshit, could you suggest something less extreme? Like for a biblical inerrant, evangelical you could suggest maybe the Bible is simply inspired by God but man made and therefore has errors or is up for interpretation?

In the name of SE and being open minded, I’d think it’d be reasonable to discuss implications of the discussions had, which would be a variety of options.. maybe the belief is untrue, or maybe it’s true but has errors, or maybe something else.
