Thank you dear sir but I was not looking to be converted. I freely chose my Catholic faith.

I think it goes to bullheadedness and narrowmindedness that is often witnessed in the very eyes, minds and voices of people who would proclaim themselves Christians as well as those who refuse to repect anyone else's faith or opinion.

This is a paraphrase from the Bible (John 9:39-40). It refers to looking at something or someone without understanding (like the expression "Can't see the forest for the trees")

to me it means that if you cannot see something or someone for what it or they truly are, then you are worst off then a person who is blind and cannot see at all.
biblically speaking-those refusing to follow the truth, and who choose to live in this system of wicked things, are so oblivious, that they will not see the end coming, even when it is upon them.

I think it means that sometimes people refuse to open their eyes (minds) and see the truth right in front of them.
So many people are like that. You could pretend to be the most knowledgeable person on a subject, but until you open yourself to it........you're just blind.

People who refuse to see the truth are the ones who will never see.

The most ignorant people are the people who refuse to explore and see others point of view.

People who are unwilling to let them selves be open to things in thsi world, are "blind" by cutting out the options they have to understand and feel them.

Its saying people who are stubborn wont believe things even if they have proof in front of them. they dont want to see the proof, so they are blind to it
