Why is it that differences in opinion end in arguments?
Why is it that views on religion turn into dogma.
Why is it that arguments turn to personal attacks?
Why is it that he who attempts to intervene is the bad guy?
Why is it that others can not see what their words do to others?
Why is it that we can not just accept an others views and move on?
Just a few, "why is it" that come to mind when I read stuff on this forum lately. wink

Oh just so you know that I know what DOGMA means,

The word dogma (Gr. dogma from dokein) signifies, in the writings of the ancient classical authors, sometimes, an opinion or that which seems true to a person; sometimes, the philosophical doctrines or tenets, and especially the distinctive philosophical doctrines, of a particular school of philosophers (cf. Cic. Ac., ii, 9), and sometimes, a public decree or ordinance, as dogma poieisthai.
