Question: I rather have a mind open by wonder than one closed by belief!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I agree with the notion!.!. I am atheist not out of spite for religion but out of a need to touch and feel!. Religion or beliefs sometimes cloud the obvious truths because tradition may not fit science!. I choose to have an open mind but only believe in what I can touch feel see or prove beyond doubt!. Not in old beliefs or rituals or religions that where clearly invented by men over 2000 years ago!. Remember if all religions believe they are all right!.!. chances are that they are all wrong!.

Thanks for the enlightened statement I may be on the same page or another one all together but I like the questionWww@QuestionHome@Com

Perhaps !.!.!. but I'd rather have the wisdom to be able to close my mind to some things!.
I've opened the doors to many things in my life and I've found that unless I've closed a few doors then my mind is going to end up seizing!.
There are many things we open doors up to and very often it is not only best to close some doors; but lock a few of them and then throw the keys away!.
An open mind that cannot close appropriately will end up dirty, draughty, and frozen cold!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

So would I, but it is a very human trait to wish to anchor oneself!.
to have some unshakable certainties around to hang on to for safety!.
And in certain cases a belief is what people opt for!.
That does not mean there minds are closed on all subjects, far from it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just because someone believes in something does not mean they have a closed mind!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
