"I refuse to change my mind"

[downbeatplumb]

There are many religious people who absolutely refuse to change their mind, some of them even call others who dont believe in their god and who claim to be open to being convinced a god exist closed minded.

So tell me, if I said, as an Atheist, that I refuse to change my mind, am I closed minded? If a religious person who agreed with you said they wouldn't change their mind, are they closed minded? What about religious people who disagree with you, are they closed minded?
The question is more aimed torwards religious people as you can probably tell.

If you think all the others who disagree with you are closed minded then what seperates your case from theirs?
Why in the first place would you refuse to change your mind about anything? That doesnt seem like an effective way to find truth, just clinging on to an answer and refusing to be convinced otherwise regardless of what we discover or see.

But how can you tell who is closed minded and who is not?

I'm having this as a back and forth with Drich at the moment. Apparently I'm a closed minded "Flat Earther" because I find his arguments unconvincing.
I have always said I am willing to have my mind changed by sufficiently strong evidence hey apparently you have to drink the koolaid to qualify as having an open mind.
