Intransigence
Wikipedia describes intransigence as
"refusal to change one's views."
A trait that people of faith
have been known to demonstrate,
when their beliefs are put to the test.
Don't get me wrong:
intransigence is not a bad thing,
merely a form of thinking that is resolute;
like a stone pillar that will not bend.
If one genuinely believes that God exists:
there should be no compromises:
faith is absolute.
People believe they have a soul,
and they'll defend that belief with their life,
regardless of reason or questions raised.
They contend that God's truth is tethered
to the soul, and anchored in the heart
of a true believer.
So, they adopt intransigence:
and will never give way;
fearing that it may cost them eternity.
