Please explain

oh i thought ur post was about how people argue about politics lol, even with religious stuff tho, i feel like christians vs atheists or any sort of divide ends up turning into a fight cuz they are part of Group A and dislike Group B so they want Group A to seem superior rather than talking about why they choose to believe one thing instead of another

Hi Sarcasm: I understand your points about disagreement and competition; however, I was looking for an explanation for why you believe people choose an adversarial/confrontational approach, rather than dialogue. My request for an explanation wasn't intended to suggest that your answer was insufficient, but I wanted a path to follow your reasoning more vividly. Thanks for responding

I didn't take you asking me to explain in a bad way, after you asked me to explain i read your question again and realized i didn't actual read what you were asking properly lol. I assumed you were talking about how americans have a 'youre with us or against us' mentality when it comes to politics, but i realized it could apply to any kind of disagreement people have. I guess my main point is that when people disagree on something, usually things theyre passionate about, i think they start to see it as a fight between two ideologies as if its a fight between 2 teams and that if you are proven wrong you somehow 'lost'. Even though the main point should be about why you believe what you do and whether or not your beliefs are the right beliefs, and that if they are wrong and you change your mind to grow and understand things better instead of assuming that if your beliefs are wrong it makes you somehow the 'loser'.
