Because they're scared. Scared people act on-logically. To bad they are so powerfull.

people are scared of that they do not understand\n\nThey would rather someone tell them what they want to hear instead of learning the truth and be shown they are wrong

It's based on fear and ignorance.

You just answered your own question, most people come to faith out of fear, whether they know it or not, so of course they would be afraid of being wrong.

Being afraid is an evolutionary trait to keep you away from things that are generally dangerous or that increase your exposure to danger

I took a class on this... I cant tell you an actual answer because I dont know. But what I do know is that what scares people the most is the unknown... example the closed door scenes... what is behind it ... when will it happen.  In the end you have to have closure to complete the story but if you can have as much unknown until then as possible, it is scarier.

Fear is about not having control. Phobias are irrational fears that are  very powerful and hard to get rid of.

Everyone is afraid of something - even Heros are usually scared people who do the right things. Most of us learn to live with our fears , if we are afraid of the dark , we could take a light to bed with us, turn off the lights - wait 2 minutes turn it back on and keep doing this till we are familiar with everything . or leave a light on all night.When I was little I was scared of the man who stood in the corner when the lights were turned out and of course when my parents came to look he was always gone.He would come back as soon as they left. My parents left a light on down stairs that showed up through the register - they thought this was enough light but by taking a flashlight to bed I found that the light they turned on for us was actually creating the man - because right next to the register was my fathers coat rack with his good coat, a long one and his good hat sitting on the top.\nOne thing quit listening to or watching things that scare you , people think it is funny to scare others for some reason - probably because they are scared themselves.

Fear.  People are fearful of those who are not "like" them.  Its sad and sickening.  It is also dangerous to people who are in the minority.  People are fearful for many reasons but it all comes down to being fearful and not having the ability to see beyond those fears.

People like to be surrounded by the familiar.  When they encounter someone who doesn't act/look/believe what they are used to, they often fear it.  Most people get over this, realizing that different points of view is what make the world great, but some others just don't want to accept that there's a larger world beyond their own.

Its the way the media works. Sensationalism. Which indirectly can also be considered fear-mongering. You know, the media seizes one story of something that MIGHT happen, blows it way out of proportion, and shows it over and over and over until you cant help but panic. Y2K was a good example, how many people went and bought electric generators because they thought everything was going to blow up or something? The bird flu is another example. My father went and bought tamiflu pills in Canada, stocked up an entire closet full of ramen noodles and spring water, and warned my younger sister (who still lives with him) not to tell anyone about any of it because hes afraid a mob will form to steal his pills. He was persuaded that by March half the country would be dead. Again, this is because he watches CNN obsessively and doesnt have the brains to consider what hes hearing without having a knee-jerk panic reaction. Its ridiculous...\n\n\nPeace

I think as Americans we are all scared. Scared to leave our homes unlocked in broad daylight, scared to go out at night, scared of terrible disseases, and much more. The media makes it sound like the BIG BAD BUGS will all get us. I think it's a propaganda of fear. Check out my recent quesions and you will see I have been asking similar questions of people and they concure. Its not just germs we're scared of...
