    Humans have emotional and often destructive reactions to information that conflicts with what they were always taught. No belief system or culture anywhere in the world is immune to that. Some cultures are a bit more flexible because their belief system doesn’t go as hard on the “this is the only possible truth” line, but there are still times when it happens.
