because you intellectualize the situation, and they're experiencing on an emotional level

@Bearserks by intellectualizing a situation, we remove ourselves emotionally from the situation/event. Could be that there's something subconscious that upsets us, or some internal conflict. So rather than deal with what we feel, we break the situation down into segments and analyse them.
By focusing our energy on facts, logic and reason, we can avoid the emotional element which may be uncomfortable or painful for us (or we just don't know how to respond to the emotional response)

I would like to imagine if people believed in stuff as strongly as they did that they wouldn’t have a problem having it questioned. Funny how things work. A shame it’s seen as something other than curiosity.
