Faith Without Evidence
John 20:29 "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Beliefs are based on faith, not evidence. Sometimes faith makes many things sound like strong evidence. It is usually risky to try to convince someone of what is unrealistic about his or her beliefs. I do understand some are angry and hostile towards the church or other beliefs but impulsiveness, harshness, and attacks will make people not want to listen. Lacking experience and enough knowledge weaken a point of view.
People have so many different strong beliefs, and views. Regardless of how reasonable a belief may sound to some, it will always sound utterly crazy to others. Some Muslims believe in heaven full drunkenness and sex orgies. They even blow themselves up to go there. This may sound entirely crazy for many nonmuslims. Some Christians, on the other hand, welcome dying to just pray with Jesus for eternity. That sounds completely crazy and boring to Muslims and different cultures. Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Scientology all sound mad to Muslims, Christians, and Jews. When some tolerate the others' beliefs, I guarantee they are laughing deep inside and thinking "It is ok, but you are going to hell you idiot" which means they may tolerate but not accept or respect. Like everyone else, I used to do that too.

Believing is based on faith, not evidence, this is why there are so many beliefs, and they all do not agree with each other
Belief is the end of logic.
