Religion is intellectual suicide... the death of reason and PROBLEM solving through magical thinking.....when my teen age daughter brought home this open minded faux posture towards religion....I told her that being open minded is like trying heroin by injecting street drugs .... some errors are deadly.....people selling religion are more than frauds and rapist priests preaching against abortion.....they are cultists given respectability by open minded enablers..... top German scientists were open minded to NaziS theocracy building up a devastated economy : gott MIT UNS .....USA is 4 weeks into a shutdown rather than hyperinflation 1933 .....good Socialist principles and science are keeping deaths way down from 1918 flu that killed 558 thousand people in 5 months.....I will never be open minded to prEyers for alleged gawds for any purpose
You are right on the money!
The most reasonable attitude is to leap on new ideas with enthusiasm and an open mind, and yes, there is never an absolutely right or wrong answer.
Most people do not recognize this basic truth because they are heavily invested in some sort of pet world view that they constantly nurture and protect.
The most rational world view is one of utter bewilderment, along with a sense of awe and reverence.
Great post!
Why would an open-minded person not care to be right? Even if one is open to many ideas, one can still search for truth and correct information.
. . . just not so open that your brains fall out
