It's like this: once you've decided a person is dogmatic or prejudiced or reasons poorly, you begin to tell yourself that the things they believe most strongly have no foundation and should be doubted.
Has anyone else ever felt this way?

I don't agree with this. I strongly believe that there are no gods, and I am rather dogmatic in my atheism. I further believe that my beliefs are true. :-)

Yes, but it could also be the belief is fine, just the individual expresses it poorly. They might have stumbled unto the correct belief, like discovering Ivory soap because someone left the mixers on over lunch.

Just because someone believes something strongly, doesn't make it true.
Someone could accuse me of being a liar. I know that isn't true. God knows that isn't true. And that is what matters. That God knows I am not a liar. So? I could try to defend myself to that person, & he could raise his voice over mine & we could get into a big argument & he believes sooo strongly I am a liar. But I know I am not & I can't convince him, so I will believe strongly that I am not a liar & have those comments returned back to sender after dipped in the love of God.

What are you trying to say that a person that belives in somthing stongly then they have no foundation, I think that you have it backwards, My foundaion is strong, and most people I know dont doubt what I teach, Because my foundation is strong that is why people come to hear me teach.

You're right. People should believe things based on empirical evidence to avoid mental retardation throughout life.

I get suspicious of such people, yes.
I tend to stay out of church, and at work I pretend that none of them are church people, and I close my ears to any church conversation; which luckily is very seldom.

no, not really. I just think their own belief is shaky and therefore they have to cling to it all the more.

No because I know that reality is created by the observer so whatever they think, no matter how odd it seems to me, is REAL to them.
