Don't question other peoples' beliefs if you don't want to be questioned about yours

*The content of this article is based on what i think and is by no means an exact analysis. But, the spirit of what i have said, is more or less true.*

More often than not, when a person is questioned about his or her beliefs, there are different ways in which he or she reacts and responds.
I will talk about the following topics:

• religion & spirituality
• culture & traditions
• morality & values, etc.

By no means is this an exact or exhaustive list. But the sheer quantity of different beliefs that exist in our society restricts me from talking about all of them.

When questioned about their beliefs and the reasons for their beliefs, people give various kinds of reactions and replies:

• Some people ignore or change the subject,
• Some people get defensive and then aggressive, and
• Hardly a few people debate the different viewpoints with an open mind.

Why do certain people react in a particular way?

• Some of the people who ignore it, feel it is a personal matter and they don't need to discuss it with, let alone justify their beliefs to, anyone. Therefore, they never get into discussions about it. All I request of them is that they don't question other peoples' beliefs if they themselves don't want to be questioned about theirs.
• Others that ignore or deflect, think that beliefs aren't meant to be questioned or challenged because they think that questioning their beliefs is as good as disrespecting or abandoning them. They believe blindly, without being critical. All I request of them is to think that, till the end of 16th century A.D. the earth was thought to be at the centre of the solar system and the universe.
• Those who become defensive, are also blind followers. According to them, there is only one correct viewpoint and that is their own. When confronted with the loopholes, inconsistencies and fallacies of their beliefs, exposed through common sense and logical arguments, they turn aggressive. Because that is the only way they see fit to react. Most of them denounce our logic and common sense as false and flawed. All I request of them is to be a little open-minded and accommodating of other people's arguments.
• Those who debate or discuss with an open mind are the ones who think that they could be partially or completely wrong and that others might have some valid arguments. They are those who enter a discussion without any beliefs "set-in-stone". All I request of them is to patiently convince people from the above 3 categories instead of being arrogant.

What do their reactions or replies say about them?

Those who are close-minded, reluctant or even fanatics, are either any or all of the following:

• "Emotionally insecure" about themselves and their beliefs and that is why they feel that way, even if they don't admit it to others or especially to themselves.
• "Intellectually inferior", to those whose beliefs they subscribe to and follow blindly. 
• "Psychologically weak", as they want so bad, to believe in something they're accustomed familiar to that they cannot bear to think that they might be wrong.

Those who are open-minded and think critically are

It's the little things.

If the purpose of this article still eludes you, here is the summary.

Summary:-  Don't simply believe what you've been told to believe, without any actual reflection and investigation on your own part. That is what it means "to KNOW, not believe".
If you do have a set of beliefs, respect other peoples' beliefs. And don't question other peoples' beliefs if you don't want to be questioned about yours. If you think someone else's beliefs are detrimental to the progress and development of the rest of the society, enter a discussion with an open mind and the possibility that your arguments or beliefs could be partially or completely wrong and that the other person might have some valid arguments too. Try your best to convince that person with truth and reason, instead of being arrogant and forcing your opinions on him/her.
Thank you.
