what is the qualification to be open minded and how to achieve it?

Pedro Micho · 11.01.2012, 03:18 PM

no one wants to believe in some stupid dogma. therefore lets define what is openmindedness and when the openmindedness ends

floatingslowly · 11.01.2012, 03:25 PM

Good luck, chief. I tried the same damn thing this very morning.

I couldn't even get them to agree on "what's a settlement" without placing walls around ourselves; and for that, I'm branded a hippie.

I reckon you'll fare no better, but I appreciate your sentiments.

Also: whether I believe in your dogma, or am openminded and accepting of it, are two very different things.

This thread is now about butt-bongo.

I hate when people define "open minded" as willing to believe anything

that is asinine.

OPen minded means willing to hear someone out, or any idea out, before jumping to judgement on them or it.
a person with a closed mind will never allow themselves to consider anything new, for they have made their minds up and n othing will change it.

an open minded person will grant that they do not, and cannot, know everything, therefore it is best to consider what is being said before making a decision.

I am open minded as all fuck, but I am also not gonna give creedence to shit that is flat out stupid.

unfortunately not. It's been used by evangelical TV preachers to describe their wives, sisters, and daughters, for decades;.often while taking it to the hilt themselves.

Tell that to the hundreds of millions of Catholics in the world, and the hundreds of millions of Muslims. and the hundreds of millions of every religious nonsense.
Those fuckers deeply WANT to believe in some dogma of some sort.

uncertainty hurts most people's brains and they'll latch on to anything for a false sense of security

"god said...."

"oh, yeah, okay!"

floatingslowly · 11.02.2012, 08:53 AM

I wish I didn't hate mormons so badly, but I do.

floatingslowly · 11.02.2012, 09:02 AM

Really, why do I feel like such a terrible person for loathing a religion that was terrible to me?

I want to be accepting of all people, but can't bring myself to it.

EVOLghost · 11.02.2012, 09:05 AM

Where did they touch you?

floatingslowly · 11.02.2012, 09:11 AM

My fist.

Fucking creepy boyscout coven.

They were touched in the face.

Like fuck I'll climb into your deadpeople vat.

Rob Instigator · 11.02.2012, 09:37 AM

does romney wear the underwear????

floatingslowly · 11.02.2012, 09:41 AM

I don't know. I've never tried to peep down his pants.

Most of the silly shit attributed to mormons is by far, the less sinister.

Me? I'm getting the fuck out of your country.
