Why is it so offensive to question someone about their faith?
If your belief in a god is fundamental to who you are, and you are confident in your belief, why would you be so offended when someone asks you about contradictions, or the extent of your beliefs? It's almost like there is an instinct to resist any application of critical thinking, or else their religious house of cards will all tumble down.
I find it to be a similar phenomenon with the MAGA folks. I tried to explain how tariffs work to my father in law at Thanksgiving, a man who listens to 12 hours a day of FoxNews. He reacted so emotionally about a simple economic concept, frustrated and angry that I would even DARE to question what Trump said. Refused to listen, kept interrupting saying things like "that's wrong", and refusing to explain why. Finally said "i don't care, Trump is always right". I am having so much trouble trying to connect with people like this.
