It's not about being afraid of a challenge. It's about not wanting to be punished for having different beliefs from you. I don't think you're standing up for anything. It is about your prejudices that you can't get over. I saw you bully Howard about being anti-abortion dozens of times, and never when he is talking about the same subject even. You call people who believe in hell stupid, out of the blue. Sorry knower-of-everything for believing something you don't believe in! I promise to do better next time!
It is about pushing your own beliefs on others who don't share them. I don't care how intelligent or educated you are. Only God knows everything (I believe). And I don't want to worry about being bullied for making the mistake of expressing my beliefs.
Sorry for getting all angry, I'll go enjoy the rest of my Sunday now.
