it's about ego. if you insult my god, you are insulting me. what you are telling me implicitly is that you don't respect me, you don't care about me and my feelings. religion is an identity. it works for any identity not just religions : country, ethnicity, language and even football team.
- Koshkin 7y agoTrue; note also that the personal ego is a social phenomenon, like much of the human consciousness, and it gets amplified proportionally to the size and the strength of the community.
