The fanatic that believes the total opposite of you or the unconcerned person who has no opinion on what is true or not.
I am not trying to attack anyone, I just whant to know what you think.
Thanks.

Neither one upsets me really. Everyone is entitled to his/her own beliefs. We learn about the world by questionning and testing different theories, and by talking things through with others. I am often edified most by those who challenge my beliefs and cause me to rethink them. But I think that even those who appear "unconcerned" have an opinion about the world...they may simply choose not to express it.

For this example, I am more upset by the fanatic. The fact this person believes the total opposite of me is irrelevant; in my experience, fanatics tend to be closed-minded and dangerous, both of which are upsetting.
I sort of feel sorry for the unconcerned person because I just can't imagine not having an opinion on truth, sprituality, religion, etc.

Both would upset me equally because the person who is
seemingly unconcerned is making a choice - just as fanatically as the one who believes the opposite. The unconcerned person is also making the same choice whether they acknowledge it or not, because by the very action of choosing nothing they are choosing the opposite. You can't reason with either one.

Fanatics can be pretty annoying and even drive people away from what they're driving people towards. It's not good to be completely unconcerned about others and, frankly, to have no opinion is annoying to some degree, too (not to mention boring). But if I had to chose I'd probably chose the latter. At least I could do what I wanted to without being attacked for it.

I get upset the most with rude people, but that wasn't your question so I would say the unconcerned person. I prefer people with passionate ideas, not fanatics, but know what they believe and speak out for it.

I'll go with the apathetic person. At least the fanatic has a passion, and when God gets ahold of them, they'll be a great asset to the Kingdom. An apathetic person will just sit there forever, never doing anything, never going anywhere. It's just sad.

The fanatic is more disturbing, because their mind is totally closed to all other possibilities other than the ones existing in their mind. many women were drowned or burned to death as witches because of this same mentality.

Neither one really upsets me. They have a right to believe the way they do. But sometimes people of all beliefs say things that are upsetting or just totally "out there". But everyone is guilty of that.

the fanatic, whether they believe the same or opposite, they are infuriating, usually arrogant, and evangelical. "fanaticism is a sign of an overheated mind"

The fanatic, just because they are usually stuck on their beliefs and won't even consider others opinions.
