Richard Swinburne on Bias
Conclusions about religious and moral matters are ones on which we are so obviously liable to bias because, whatever conclusions we reach (whether religious or atheistic), they have consequences about the sort of life which is worth living; and we may be reluctant to accept them because they clash with our current life-style.
(Richard Swinburne, Is There a God? [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1996], 123)
