Because they can't prove it. If you can prove what you believe, you don't have to be so defensive about it. If you can't prove it, you feel more of a need to justify it & become far more defensive when you believes are challanged. That challenge could be as slight as something tha tcould cause you to question.
I've always said htat converts make the best fanitics. Once they are secure in their beliefs, they don't have to be fanatical to hold the belief. Have you ever taken a shot in front of a recovering alcoholic? If they've been sober for a long time, they don't feel threatened & don't have to try to convert you to their new 'religion'. If tey haven't been sober for long... they'll jump all over you about how bad alcohol is for you. They're really talking to themselves, tryng to keep themselves from taking a drink.

It seems to me the quarrels are never about "God" but about the current "Savior." Some like Jesus, others like Mohammed, others Abraham, and on and on . . . If everyone could get together and just worship God without the "middle man" perhaps we wouldn't have so much anger in the world.

Because people are fickle and can't deal with something that is unchangable, so they have to nitpick and create details and then fight about it. Everyone just has to be right, and since no one can seem to accept that other people can be right too, they have to argue. Since God is not exactly a tangible thing, people represent the concept with tangible customs and practices and think that if other people have different ways or representing the same thing, they are wrong. Then pride takes over and it all goes downhill from there.

Quarrels on this subject are caused by people who don't have enough decency and maturity to respect others' choices about which god they worship and how they worship it.

Go to a mosque outside the US and pitch that gospel.
