Sorry to tell you this...
But it the self-righteousness, and arrogance of the religion's leaders
that promotes this type of "dogma", rhetoric & mentality.
They know they have promote their way of thinking
One of the ways you do this is by "dismissing" the other's views.
An extreme of this is..."do it this way or else" or "eliminating" the objection.
This is to promote faith, faith increases influence,
influence increases power, power allows you to push your views,
and so then the faith grows...it is a cycle.
BTW, power also increases their own personal power
God-forbid a religion admits it is wrong or something might be different.
People rather kill you than change their mind.
Perhaps all views are correct, just in a different "perspective".
It's a big universe out there, do you really think "God" has even gotten close to showing the truth?
And are you really going to listen to a person in a "big hat" and "gown"?
Seriously, think for yourself...explore, ponder, ask questions
You might find that your faith actually increases,
but then you'll understand it's more of a metaphor or guide to life,
to be taken in consideration, rather than literally.
There is deeper meaning to the words than the surface.
