Cognitive Dissonance

---------------------------COGNITIVE DISSONANCE---------------------------
THIS IS WHY PEOPLE GET UPSET WHEN THEIR BELIEFS ARE CHALLENGED.

A mental conflict occurs when beliefs are contradicted by new information. This conflict activates areas of the brain involved in personal identity and emotional response to threats. The brain's alarms go off when a person feels threatened on a deeply personal and emotional level causing them to shut down and disregard any rational evidence that contradicts what they previously regarded as 'truth'.

This is for rational people willing to have a proper conversation, people whom look at BOTH sides of the isle and exercise COMMON SENSE, people whom have a natural intelligence in understanding and awareness.
