What is 'open- mindedness'? Am I open-minded about the existence of God? Probably not. I don't believe that there is a god so I am not open-minded about it. If I were I would, as I have said many times, be an agnostic. I am tolerant of the beliefs, or lack thereof, in others and do not seek to convert them to my point of view, but I prefer my own!

As I result of that position I am not interested in the curlicues and intricacies of the process of religious argument. The debating points of deities, angels on pins and theists and all the other myriad of differences in 'isms' come from religions and I do not find a need to believe in any of them. I find reading about religion fascinating but I am not open-minded about belief. I am not a believer.
