That's an excellent observation.
We demand as an incontrovertible truth that which is most convenient for ourselves. IOW, that which makes us seem better than others and/or assures us of a free ticket to paradise after death.
If it happens to be inconvenient for others, our natural tendency is to belittle or humiliate them until they do at last accept what we find convenient (did somebody mention the Spanish inuisition?).
