I think the fact that you find other people's beliefs frustrating says more about yourself and how you deal with the world than about the value of those beliefs.

Emotional intelligence is real, and being easily frustrated (specially when that frustration comes from being so sure that you're right and someone else is wrong) is a sign of low emotional intelligence.

I think it is okay to try to be correct – or at least not demonstrably wrong – about the nature of the universe.

Some people think its inappropriate to question other peoples' "beliefs", I do not. The beliefs in question are harmful, so yes, I get frustrated when people talk in circles and don't take responsibility for the things they say.

Notably, you have avoided talking about the "value of those beliefs" in favor of lecturing me about how I should feel. Which, in fact, depends on the value of those beliefs. Which is what I wanted to talk about.

I think you should focus your energy somewhere else.
