Saying “you just don’t understand” is a terribly fallacious and arrogant argument regardless of field.

Is it? If I say "I've never heard of particle X interacting with field Y!" and a physicist says "You must not have read Feynman's Z, or else you didn't undertand it" is not particularly fallacious and arrogant, let alone terribly fallacious and arrogant.

So let's be clear: When 1nickt said "First time I have ever heard the Christians' God described as "humble", he was boasting about his ignorance of Christian theology, which, of course, is typical atheist rhetoric.
