    BUt it's pretty dumb to ask why one would be angry about something so important as whether or not the beleif system our society has been run by for the past 2000 odd years is true or not.

    Stomach ulcers?

    Substitute "stress" for stomach ulcer.;)

    Like, why get stressed out and angry about discussing religion and atheism?

    I agree. Time for me to ease off on the debates with atheists! I'll stick to defending my faith. We've all wasted a lot of time going round in circles debating the same things over and over, trying to square the circle.

    Oh right ... [aside - stomach ulcers aren't actually caused by stress]

    Well ideally I don't think anyone should get stressed out over anything, war, disease, religion, politics, sport etc.

    But as I said people don't tend to choose what they get stressed out about. I don't think anyone chooses to get stressed, or angry.

    Well things went down hill quickly when you started talking about immoral clothing choices of women and snowballing in discos as a sign of crumbling society ... I think you risk falling into the cliché of the sexually repressed religious fundamental.
