open minded = people that agree with me.
close minded = people that dont.

you'd be surprised at how uncannily true this is.

lin00b,

The PROBLEM is most people are "Pretend" believer. If a person is TRUE BELIEVER, why do they care whether ANYONE agrees with him/her??

TRUTH / FAITH is NOT a popularity contest. It either is TRUE or FALSE. It does not change based on number of people believing.

As I had said before, a person can CHOOSE to believe gravity or not, it does not change the FACT that gravity exists.

A TRUE BELIEVER believe the existence of their BELIEF like GRAVITY. It EXISTS.

I am a TRUE BELIEVER. I do not need to convince ANYONE of my belief. It is THERE for ANYONE that CHOOSE to see. If they don't, it is STILL there.

Only "Pretend" believer has to convince people of their belief.

although commonly used in matters relating to the supernatural, open/closed mindedness is not only limited to that. i'm sure copernicus had a difficult time convincing the closed minded that the sun is the center of the solar system. similar problems exist now for string theory, quantum mechanics and all the other more abstract physics.

while fact remains fact no matter what, it would be a sad day for science and human when scientist go "think what you will, i'm not going to bother to convince you, i'm right regardless of what you think"

lastly, humans are social animals, the desire to be acknowledged and accepted is one of our main drive, and so we spend a lot of energy trying to convince our community of our views.

lin00b,

<< while fact remains fact no matter what, it would be a sad day for science and human when scientist go "think what you will, i'm not going to bother to convince you, i'm right regardless of what you think">>

We are talking about religion here. So, this has NOTHING to do with science. For a TRUE BELIEVER, God / Karma/ whatever will affect the person regardless of whether the person believe or not. And, a person will suffer the consequences of the non-believing. If a person does not believe that, a person is a NOT a TRUE BELIEVER.

<<lastly, humans are social animals, the desire to be acknowledged and accepted is one of our main drive, >>

For an ENTP like me, I am anti-social. I do not want to be accepted. Do not ASSUME all human beings are social animal.

Are you sure that you are an INTP??

<<the desire to be acknowledged and accepted>>

That is NOT a motivation for that kind of personality. That only works for F.
