Why Do People Always Get Mad When I Tell Them Am Agnostic? by ValentineMary(op): 9:01am On Nov 30, 2015

Many christians get mad, some even get angry and hold grudges against me when they find out am agnostic. I think it is a very silly thing to do and moreover most of them can't defend their religion even when I make a nonsense of their bible story. They just expect me to believe when common sense tells you that this story is fake.
Please let us grow up and apply common sense to our daily living because I can't imagine mysel holding grudge against someone because of his personal beliefs.

It is a free world, we all have the right to offend or be offended.

when they get mad, see it that they are exercising their right of being offended about anything they want to get angry over... it is their cup of tea.

Religious beliefs being unfounded mythical constructs and fantasies have in a way being dogmatized in the mind of the believer even though in a touch of wishful thinking to be an absolute truth.

so it is expected that they get offended when you challenge what they so bad want to believe as truth.

Religious faith banks on stoic conviction based on stark emotion on a premise they dont really have any reason to believe but rely on faith and emotion.

Such absurd assertions are always made against reason, so they fight tooth and nail to defend it against reason and so tend to be aggressively hostile to the one that proposes reason..

they know if reason prevails, beliefs crumbles..

I believe he is implying that "People also get offended if you say you are an atheist.."

Don't mind gullible people. That's the way the church intimidated Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and Darwin but we are all living well today because of their discoveries.
