Why do people insist that their belief is true and beliefs followed by others are false ?
Doesn't that sound too disrespectful?

Beliefs become ingrained in one’s personality, if they are strong beliefs. Giving up a belief, even if presented with evidence, is a hard thing to do, and many can’t let go because it’s like giving up a part of themselves. So, if you have strong beliefs, you are likely to defend them when put against opposite beliefs. It can feel like you are defending your life, and your survival, and all you’ve ever known is at stake.
