Have you ever heard of Cognitive Dissonance? It is when 2 different beliefs don't match and when they don't match they cause discomfort. We react by rejecting one or the other and this is what you did, you rejected his belief because it didn't match your own. Another way to handle it is to change your belief so that you can accept his belief. Changing your belief is the work of therapy.
