Theists don’t know what an open mind is (open heart). If they truly had an open mind, and had anything remotely near what you would call skepticism, religion wouldn’t exist anywhere near the level that it does right now.
To a theist, an open mind, is having a mind with a strong enough filter, to rationalize some of the most heinous acts imaginable. It also could entail, cherry-picking the living shit out of every verse to their liking. If you don’t cherry-pick every verse the way they do, or justify every immoral action in the bible, they accuse you of having not opened your heart to scripture. Fuck that bullshit!
They have no idea what an open mind is..

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
