Psi: How Open Minded are You Really?

[ReptilianPeon]

I must not be very opened minded because I've rejected both the Quran and the Bible. Apparently an open minded person would come to the conclusion that (insert religious book here) is true. Simply rejecting the Quran as being from Allah automatically makes me a bigot. So yeah...

NO that doesn't make you close minded. I hate this idea that if you give up on bad claims somehow you are closed minded. Using the trash can makes you realistic, not closed minded.

Closed minded is insisting on clinging to the past when others have rightfully moved on. If our species never questioned social norms our species never would have left the caves.

And saying "that is not true" does not may anyone a bigot either. It merely means you accept reality and refuse to lie you yourself or those around you.

I agree, but if a lie is repeated often enough it is treated as truth. Many reasonable people (who are essentially Atheist but may not use that term to describe themsevles) have it drummed into them that they are close minded and some people will ultimately believe that they are. Sad really. It's amazing what people can get away with.
