Can you please define what is open minded not really open to accept the closed minded?
I am a little confuse with your statement, my idea of openness is simply allow debate and offer opinions while people who already made up their mind keep defending their thoughts, they cannot accept being doubted and it interpreted as insult.

In the case of religion, believers are closed minded about their god otherwise there will be uncertainty and must defend at all course from intelligent words to full scaled war over the centuries, it also segregate people by gang. Everyone have foolish self esteem and certain level of ego that sparks argument to win never to ration, they maybe stubborn but is able to continue doing a job and live a life so it works for them.

Do they care what is open minded? I don't think so, they only want attention and win otherwise in misery of doubt.

Not everyone free thinker are like that, the argument is all possibilities rather than lock down / closed the subject. The possibilities trigger good fantasies and creativity otherwise a chair is just a piece of wood log or stone, such creativity is the drive of human civilization and we now believe medicine can cure compare to praying. Those who totally deny the creator / god is frustrated of the reality (misery of the poor) and believe in nothing.

HaHa... communist892003 I think you have grown up since your first landing in this forum, still interested to enforce your philosophy concept to the people here? Now you are talking like one of us. The closed minded feel agitated when others don't agree with their views especially in religion and take it as an insult, the free thinker's intelligence is also insulted by religion and told that god cannot be questioned, as if we are not suppose to know who and what gave birth to us, never question your parents.

There are many intelligent replies but were ignored, I learn and enjoy those contributions that made me addicted to this forum.

Depends on where you use the fomular

Reproduction 1+1=3, 4, 5...

Union 1+1+1+1+1... =1

Love 1+1=1

Right, narrow it is.
Since a believer already made up their mind, why bother what others says about them, that subject is closed.
Open mined is to open for discussions not to debate on a closed subject, the only thing to defend is power / influence / integrity that could threatens their kind as if being called stupid to follow ancient rules.

I wonder if it is the same lyn dude,
It is probably one of the reason I took part in these threads that certain very narrow individuals tends to do that, some are smart & educated which is unfortunate that knowledge is not balanced with experience. They obstruct freedom and will be challenged by not their kind.

The closed minded tends to be a nuisance in a rational discussion and low mentality, make their presence everywhere to fulfill the insecurity in them just because they don't like it. These are shameless people who will not grow up and a burden to the society, while the others continue to make progress in science and contribute towards a civilized living environment.

Usually these people stick to their own kind but others are intrusive and feel ire when others is smarter and talented then them, continue to make a fool of their own kind but then it does fuel the ratings in this forum.

Me? I am god to you, so you better behave or I shall turn you into a worm in your next life.

Kubing, Kubing, someone put you in the video, you should watch!

Since one religion already claimed to be the last and only, their followers tends to think they are the absolute and the final. So they want us to stop having doubts which is the basis of improvement in reality, to wonder and then find the truth to solutions that developed into the science we know today.

Science continue to develop, religion remain primitive much like constitution law can be amended according to time and ideology not religious rules.

Its the kind of language usually used in kopitiam that translated into alphabets, its emotion mixed with foul language when unable to communicate.

Baby without the ability to think is open minded? Please explain.
