My Question -
Why people react with anger & emotional outbursts when sensible questions on religions are asked? Intolerance?
More about it: -I have enough leisure-time and I think a lot on what happens around me, particularly exploitation of the innocents on many fronts? When I can't find out proper answers myself I refer the questions to an intelligent platform as 'Yahoo Answers'. Many of the answers I have received enriched my intelligence and knowledge. But I also receive answers through the Yahoo Forum and some of which are insulting. One gave an indication that 'Indians are idiots'. I did not want to react because I believed that his/her upbringing was faulty. I am a Christian by birth and I live among Hindus, noble in tolerance and understanding and I am proud of my brethren. Many of my Christian brethren had quoted from informative sources and replied to my questions to my entire satisfaction and gratitude. But a few express intolerance towards my questions. My request is this: - Let religions not come in our way to freethinking and let not emerging thoughts be suppressed!

Please look around and most of the things that move are round. The earth is round so that friendship can encircle this. We know that history has recorded the ice age, the Stone Age, the ancient age, medieval period, 20th century, Modern time and finally the present times. Neither the religions are made nor Gods were prayed. Still people lived. As the population grew, societies were formed and each society demanded a separate entity. That is how faith came to be followed and people imagined things there never were and asked why not. When the origin itself is not clear or not known people tend to be angry or emotional. If X calls why an idiot, Y does not become an idiot. It is an opinion expressed, and need not be true. Take it easy my friend, first you don’t become emotional. We are all just actors in a drama lasting only for a short while. Forgive and forget them.
OTHER ANSWERS:
1. I believe that people react with anger because they don't let the Holy Spirit guide their thoughts and emotions and they obviously don't have to close of a relationship with Jesus.
2. Tolerance and understanding ,sharing of thoughts and opinions,a dying art ,I live for the fact that some people can change my opinions ,what a gift they have given me ,answers to my questions ,and questions to my answers,thanks for the sharing
3. Its' called intolerance, but it really is their ego, they think "How DARE he/she/they talk about MY religion that way?" It is an Ultra-sensitive topic, and people will only be happy if you speak extremely gently about their religions, so it's best not to talk about it.
4. My friend, you know the answer and still you want to know more of it. Each one thinks differently; each his own way. Why go far, look at our families. Does a son think the same like his father or like his parents, very few! So justice and time is our main factor. People are not ready to accept real truth of life.
5. Religion is not the only rickety bridge that leads to the other side........actually I would rather say it is one of the paths that are yet discovering their ways across. What people tend to forget is the fact that each religion connects with each other and grows its boundaries and possibilities. I wouldn’t say religious intolerance is the root of the outburst of anger to questions on religion, it is ego, narrow mindedness and the inability to accept that the spiritual world is a much bigger concept that religion and that every religion gets entangled in certain controversies. The leaders of the religions should either explain them or solve them. Emotional or angry outbursts only prove that the person in question fears that his religion might be wrong in someway...however it is important that we understand that people make religions and that corruption comes along with those people. So we cannot have perfect religions considering the makes weren't and aren’t so themselves. Besides situations also affect religions...something is acceptable now... wasn't then. So we must learn to analyse and understand what we follow better than to blindly follow it.
No. Religion is a matter of personal faith. The word "personal" has all in it. Every individual has different ways of existence, which no one challenges. Similar is the case with "faith". When joined, it becomes a solid affair. Hence the reaction. Intolerance has no meaning here.
No religion is great in itself...its all ones efforts and great deeds that make a religion.....its only within India where all religions rest...one should firstly never compare any religion...after all ....every religion was given birth by a God....and again....God is one.....!! people go hyper and definitely lack tolerance and that is the reason why they react so aggressively...they themselves compare their religion with others and then start with the criticisms.....why don't they understand that if .............."EVERYTHING WOULD BE PERFECT, THEN A PENCIL WON'T HAD A RUBBER ON HER HEAD!"
People react with anger when sensible questions are asked because the reason is that they don’t know the answer which might convince the other person. People also do not like to apply their mind to give some sensible answer and sometime it so happens that the person who has asked the question may be of a different religion so one feels that he is taunting his religion. People feel sometime that their answer might go against their action which may be right or wrong.
For one thing religion is a sensitive and heart-touching subject and may rub or touch a nerve or two of some one. May cause angry outbursts. So one should be extremely careful while dealing with any aspect of religion. It is not always possible that the answers will always please everyone. Somebody may not take it in good strides depending upon his frame of mind at that moment.
Together with intolerance, they only appear to be religious and not at all truly religious. Truly religious people always experience their religion and no religion by itself is aggressive. So truly religious people are always calm and ready to share their intimate experience in religion.
Learn from animal kingdom the stronger the animal the least reactive it is to smaller cohabitants. An elephant seldom reacts to monkeys; the lion does not really mind foxes loitering around. It is the strength of wisdom and maturity that provides patience.
The lesser one has the more reactive in all likelihood.......we have anecdotes in almost all Indian languages conveying "Thohtha Chana Baje ghana." Hollow create noises.
If a person who is eligible to comment on that when asked will not react. When he is living with people of all caste, creed and habits he should not react. But at times when they tend to provoke knowing that you are from the other community for fun, the people who react are emotional. There are different types of people good or bad in all communities. Sensible person should not react with anger. All god is one and only we follow different culture and habits by virtue. You must always have self-confidence
that you respect your religion above all and not carried away by these questions and criticism by others.
It is only intolerance and added point with not knowing much about the religion followed.
Because the people are having blind faith in their religion, that's why they could not tolerate any single word against their religion. It's only happened due to the shortage of proper research on religion & language.
1. May be they do not want their religion to be less than other.
2. Sometimes making it an issue to create jealousy to others.
3. Because of the experience in their life, they need to blame someone else for their deeds and throw their frustration out.
Ignorance and only ignorance is the main reason.
Due to insufficient knowledge. Proper Education gives us softness, polite and gentleness. When we are not a position to understand each other then only we react.
Religion is based on the faith. The most important impact of the religion is being positive and optimistic in attitude. Asking sensible question on religion may hurt faith and sentiments of a person. Then people who have a degree of tolerance power may tolerate but in case of scarcity of tolerance people obviously outburst. Actually religion is not a personal matter. It is related with sentiments and faith of millions of people. So while commenting on such a sensible matter, we must be careful that your question must not hurt any body.
We Indians are mainly divided in three religions - Hindu, Muslim & Christian. Other religions like Sikh and Jain are originated from Hinduism and Muslim religions. From ancient times many races with their different religions came to India like the Huns, the Parthians and many more. But none of their religions are in existence in present day. They mingled with the Hindu religion. Because they did not posses a rich culture of their own, while Hindus were thriving with great intellectual property .So they took the culture and religion of Hindus as their own, of course keeping some of their own rituals intact. This mix of culture can be seen in the GANDHAR style of art.
But the case was not the same with the Muslims and the Christians, they possessed a great wealth of their own culture which were completely different from what flourished in Indian soil. They never really mixed, specially in higher society.
In spite of this problem, Indians could have lived in peace but there were greater obstacles. Religion is a vast idea, in Hindu mythology; this word has been used to express nearly a thousand different meanings. But today what we, the common people follow is merely a bunch of meaningless rituals. We are almost in dark about the great virtues religions taught us. And as our religion is cut-off from it's stems, it becomes very easy for orators and political leaders to provoke us in the name of religion. The British understood this fact properly and so do present day politicians. Education was considered to be the medicine but today we see engineers and scholars as Muslim Jihadees and Hindu communals. I try not to be negative, but my friend, when I think of all these, I don't really see a quick solution. If you are really concerned you can e-mail me at "mainakputatunda@yahoo.co.in". Goodbye.
People react with anger because they feel out of control of the given situation. There are some who are religious fanatics who have this intolerance. What they fail to understand is we are human beings first creation of the supreme God. Religion is man made for his own convenience. If each one understands this, the world will be a better place to live in.
Religion, religious preaching, and practices should push the practitioner to the Spirituality orbit. Apparently the fault will be in the individual, and preaching and not the religion if the persons do not evolve and revolve in the spiritual orbit. Hindu preaching is Dharma based. It is learned and imbibed in an open University system with an open mind. They practice and practice praying God for entering the Spiritual orbit. Generation to generation they strive in this direction. Money, material and other attractions do not deter their determination. Hence India is a Veda Bhoomi and Karma Bhoomi. Our tolerance should be at Zero Level. Christian conversions with wrong methods may give short spell enjoyment to the persons involved. But they are doing lot of damage to the Religion and Revered Christ. I have my feeling that Lord Krishna and Christ are one and the same. Intolerance, looses the Vivekam and grab negativity, sufferings
