Very true! It actually astounds me almost daily how vitriolic people can become, when defending their views! Sometimes, it’s as if their very essence is being threatened with brimstone and hellfire! I think that there is this notion people have, that they are nothing more than their beliefs - that this defines their very being, and without these - they would crumble or shatter into fragments!

We all are constantly expanding our knowledge every day, and when somebody seizes on a theory; shakes it around as a dog would, tearing into a bone - it only makes others wonder: ‘If they truly believe in what they are saying, why the need to defend it as if their very life is at stake?’
