Wikipedia describes intransigence as "refusal to change one's views." A trait that people of faith are prone to demonstrate if put to the test. Don't get me wrong, obstinance is not a bad thing, merely a form of thinking that is resolute, a stone pillar that will not bend. If one honestly believes God exists, there is no compromise; that faith is absolute. Their belief includes a soul and they'll defend that with their life, regardless of questions raised. They contend that the truth is tethered to the soul and anchored in the heart, of a true believer. So, they remain intransigence and will never give way, fearing it may cost them eternity.

"the fear of anything costing you your soul" is a profound way of thinking and will keep you on the path. Nice one Emile. Good luck in the contest.
