When things are taken seriously everything is personal and a
challenge. Most
of these list "debates" are entertaining to me. I was having fun when
I was
ranting about Amadeus's vegetarian delusions.
All I know is what I experience. I realize everything I BELIEVE may be
wrong.
For 99% of the people religion (that includes nutrition) is about
beliefs
not direct experience, People get upset and threatened when their
beliefs are
challenged.
I don't get upset if someone tells me that vegetarianism is the
healthiest
way to eat.
I KNOW that is wrong (at least for me).
The same if someone say's the only way to heaven is through Jesus (or
Allah,
Jehovah or Baal).

<< Gawen,
<<You forgot
4) They take themselves too seriously.>>
I tried, but I can't see where this fits in a list of why people
react
negatively to things. Could you elaborate?
