People are threatened by people with different values and who believe differently than them because they feel that what they believe is the right thing, and everyone else is wrong. They think that all people should believe what they do and if they don’t then it makes them feel insecure and like they could be wrong. One clash of ideas that I can think of from the top of my head is the Church of England and the Catholic Church when King Henry the eighth broke ties with the Catholic Church because they would not give him the divorce that he wanted. I’ve had many arguments over religion in the past and I remember one very well because my friend just would not stop arguing with me about it. It was in Biology last year, and my friend, Nic Miner, and I were arguing about evolution. I don’t believe in evolution, I believe that God created the universe. Nic believes that it was just here and that evolution happened. He believes that people evolved from monkeys, which is the most ridiculous thing that I’ve ever heard in my opinion. I believe that this world is much too great and complex for it to have just happened and if people did evolve from monkeys why aren’t they now?
