As humans we have a need to be correct, sure of our action and when we doubt our actions, we lash out, when we are too sure we defend our beliefs to sometimes to the extreme. It is part of our nature to fight and survive. We need conflict to keep the animal side feed. Although our spiritual side seeks peace, it has to strive for it. We are such complex creatures in constant battle to survive and achieve success and peace. Many people find peace through religion and there are some that treat it as a vocation and there are some who through study find new understandings. Now sometimes these new understandings lead to shared understanding other time they cause conflict. It history these conflict have spawned new groups and religious ideals and bloodshed. This conflict arise over one statement “I am right you are wrong” however it is expressed. This stubbornness to accept change is created out of fear that they may have been wrong. The idea that their belief / faith is wrong, is unfathomable. This is not always a bad thing someone else refusal to accept your findings can give you the faith to prove it or learn you are wrong. Now as a pagan I have worked in groups and lead group and conflict does arise occasionally sometimes leading to forced hive off or circle closing etc these are not bad things they are the natural progression of magicks and new and existing path develop.
