eeeeeeeeh ... what do you expect from religious people? If they were open minded enough to consider other possibilities, they wouldn't really be "religious" now, would they?
So I don't think asking why religious people feel so strongly is the right question. It's like asking why fat people weigh more than skinny people. The correct question would be why are there religious people at all, especially in this day and age?
What the world needs is either no god at all, or tens of thousands of little gods and goddesses. And have them as personal as possible. Not just the God of comfy shoes, but the God of my specific comfy shoes.

I am open minded, but what she brought up was meaningless.
Jesus was a Jew, but Jewish people don't accept Him as their savior. They believe he was just a regular man, and were the reason He was crucified. So when Christian's speak about Jew's in a negative way, it's because of this. We believe Jesus was God's son, they don't.
Also, religion gives people strength. It's a reason for them to be better people. They look to God for help, and through him, they become better people and have the strength to move on through life's struggles.
Without Beavis, you couldn't be a better person, agreed...
