There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone thinking they are right. That is what opinions are. The problem arises when someone says that you're going to hell because your opinion is not my opinion and my opinion just happens to be THE bible opinion because I say it does!
Spiritual "Jihadists" abound in almost every denomination. I think it's akin to what is called "Manifest Destiny." The term was coined by John O'Sullivan in about 1845 to describe the U.S's expansion into the West. It also became the "doctrine" of expansion overseas as well. Once a person or a group embraces "Manifest Destiny" as their mantra, either expressed or implied, no holds are barred in furthering their cause, seeing themselves as the "Sword of God."
It is the thinking behind all the holy wars, which sadly, haven't ceased in our day.

But when you HAVE to be right all the time, something is very wrong. I have had opinions changed because I read or listen. Not my belief's, just opinions.
I think some think if they agree with the other side about anything, it changes their belief system. And I guess that is scary to them.

Fear is a terrible taskmaster! However, I DO understand having "lived" there before.

You are so right. It is a horrible way to live.
