Since this seems to be a constant theme in both political and religious discussions, I figured it might be interesting to address it directly. Is it an attack of a person to question a person's beliefs or views? Why do some people feel that asking questions which challenge a person to defend their views is considered an attack of that person?
I'm perfectly open to any questions. There is a thread entitled, "Ask a Gay" in which a person can ask any question of me to force me to defend my beliefs in regards to my sexual orientation. I welcome it. Even if I found the question to be offensive and ill informed, then I would see it as an opportunity to demonstrate such by answering with strong evidence and reasoning.
I think people are just afraid of having views which aren't supported by anything but their personal opinion, rationalization, or faith being exposed to the scrutiny of reason. Of course, that could just be me. What are your thoughts? I would prefer not to bring any specific threads into this discussion, I'm simply inquiring from a broad sense.
