It's human nature to deny anything that will create inconsistencies in one's world view. Suppose you could indeed convince this person, it would mentally wreck him. At least, this is what my experiences have shown me. It's no excuse, but it should be expected from any zealous person, despite their particular belief.

It is probably extremely difficult to argue with the converted as they are usually the most zealous in their cause. Losing ones temper usually makes the contra party feel victorious and so he continues in his own vein without paying any heed to your arguments. By knowing his precepts and perhaps standing in his shoes, one might be able to change his outlook. Simply being right doesn't win an argument.

I know what you mean. I lose my temper very easily when I talk about politics. An Arab came on a blog and talked about how Copts are 'self hating Arabs.' When I read it, I was down right irate. Of course, I ran her out of her own blog but I regretted not acting with patience like the church tells us to do.

 

I heard a saying that says, "Never get into a fight with a pig, or else you both get dirty and he enjoys it."

 

Although, seeing tflex just down right emberass that maniac, 'we want to kill our kids and you want to build a nation' was quite funny to see. Like it or not, tflex had to speak some sense into that brainwashed guy.

 

Question: If the Ayatollah was the closest to Islam and the Quran if his time how come he told others to murder, encouraged children to commit suicide, and told the Iranians to hate Jews and Christians?

People are willing to believe what it is in their interest. If he says that it does not mean that he could not think different if he will benefit from something else. This was a wrong way to tell that people often lie others and more often lie themselves.

It is sad when high officials are like that, but even worse when people had to be like that to be high officials.

You're right it is human nature, but it's also human nature to recognize a wrongdoing. Kids being sent to their slaughter, you would think alarm bells would go off, not so with some people.

The notion is intimately related to the fundamental basis of his beliefs.
