I used to share a cubicle with a guy who was a devout Christian. We got into several "discussions" on the errancy of the bible, the history of Christianity, etc. These always started out as rational, calm discussions, but ended up with him taking things personally (for no reason) and getting upset. I finally figured out that anything that challenged his beliefs was perceived as a personal attack. (he is still one of my best friends, BTW).
