JUST OPEN YOUR HEART, DAMMIT!

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Non-theists are often accused of not reading the Bible (or any holy book) with an open heart. Do theists understand what they're asking of atheists when they suggest this? I'm sincerely interested in understanding what reading religious texts "with an open heart" actually means to theists. Non-theists as well. Thanks.

If I may... it means with love. But, there needs to be a desire to know God first. If that doesn't interest you, it won't mean anything to read scripture.

As Christians we are instructed to spread the Word. Whether or not people care, or listen to us is completely irrelevant.

The best we can actually do as Christians, is to be of good example. Unfortunately, and obviously we constantly fall short of that goal.

But then again, we weren't meant to save anyone. Jesus said to look for His kingdom within ourselves. And to ask, and seek.

So, the only thing necessary is just that! There is only ONE Teacher. And ONE Truth. We just need to find it. If we so desire.

So what's the one truth?
