I sometimes wonder why does it hurt so much when someone criticize something you deeply believe in ..? For example, I can take as an example, people that believe in Islam , Mouhammad or Jesus or christianity or whatever the faith, they are unable to accept people doing criticize on their faith ...!! but, I really know what happened and what's going on, it's something going in their mind...a christian feels like his head is bumping or his brain is in pain when someones tries to prove something contrary to his belief ...and vice versa for Islam, and other faith people can believe in ... what is happening on a psychological point of view ...? For example, I notice that I cannot unbelieve in christianity to accept something else... why ..?

Because you deeply feel your belief, your not just convinced but you live around what you believe, so when some other person of whom does not undrstand your point of view comes to convince you that it is not what you think; you become frustrated, hence: head thumping, or pain. truly its frustration because the other person is naive to your beliefs.

Ooops. You sound totally intolerant and I must say - totally un-christian!
If nothing can be questioned or debated - how do you spread the word? For surely the intolerance should work both ways?
Indeed if a belief is so firmly held that you cannot abide it being discussed then you should avoid it as it suggests your faith is weak.
Atheists do not challenge Christianity - they just do not believe in a God. Muslims have an awful lot in common with Christians but do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. Many other religions exist and have their own tenets and Gods. All these people have strength in their beliefs and are usually happy to discuss them and listen to other peoples arguments.
It is plain that when these people speak of their beliefs you feel disquiet and pain as they contradict yours. If your faith was firm that should not bother you let alone hurt you. It suggests that you believe in a dogma rather than having faith. You need to grow your spiritual strength and belief.
Intolerance - particularly religious intolerance is highly dangerous to the peace of the world.
Speak to your pastor and seek help to combat your intolerance and learn the love and tolerance for sinners taught in the bible!!

You believe strongly in your faith, because it's YOURS. And you will continue to get upset when you are criticized because you believe in it so strongly. People can be complete jerks when it comes to opinion, especially ones involving religion. Religion is a very touchy subject for pretty much everyone, whether you're the one criticizing, or you;re being criticized.
