Why does there seem to be an inability to differentiate between rejection and questioning?

I think it's because some of us expect to be attacked and so are defensive about everything.Others of us are spiteful and if we feel we are in the inferior position kick the other guy in the shin and run off to report a violation of the guidelines. There is another group that seem to think that any difference of opinion is a direct affront to their intelligence and just talk to drown the other guy out.

The least attractive of the reactive bunch are the arrogant ones, who think that a well placed insult is the ultimate weapon, but weep as little children when the insult lands on them.

Most common, though, is probably the affliction of average intelligence, and the lack of training in critical thinking and arguments.

..So, can you still accept a priest or pastor answer that god has a plan for them, or they are in heaven, or who are we to understand god's plan? ?

I suppose if those answers are ok for you , you are just questioning....Show more
