Are you open minded when it comes to God and religion?

Question

Honest answers appreciated...

I am happy to be getting great responses!

Answer 1

No....but that's only because I spent about 15 years searching for what I believe to be the true religion. Since I've found it, I have no need to be open minded about it anymore.

Answer 2

This May Sound Silly To You But Believers Who Know, Love and Serve The Almighty GOD Are "Spiritual Minded".....Which Means, It's GOD'S Way Because He's GOD!.......Man-Made Theories, Man-Made Doctrine, Opinions, Philosophys, Etc. Etc.Etc. Are Just Like Peoples "Rear Ends"...Everybodys Got One!!!!!!!!!!
So, To Sum It All Up, If I Choose to Be Open Minded Regarding Certain Issues Then I'm In For Debates Of Man-made Theories, Opinions, Doctrines, And Philosophys..And When It's All Said And Done....It Amounts To Nothing!!!!...But GOD's WORD WILL STAND ABOVE MAN'S WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Yes I have an open mind to god and religion, however I don't believe they (Believers)have an open mind to other that question it.
Thus it must be questioned, because how do we really know that we are not being deceived, for there is not a one of us that can solve the mystery of our faith on earth, our origins, our purpose, unless we feel we are just animals. But that does not make sense, look at us even the greatest minds or confused, yes we can find a purpose in our society but the results are the same, so open mindedness should mean to question but not to agree because we feel fear from our peers, church leaders and so own. We right now could be giving our life away and not even know it, just because of a belief system

Answer 4

Yes. I grew up in a Buddhist family, going to a strict Protestant school until High School, then ended up living almost like a monk for 3 years before realizing that there is something wrong with extreme beliefs in any religions, be it Christian or Buddhist, Muslim or anything.
Middle ground is important, but it is one of the most difficult thing to achieve. Being extremist in either religious or secular way is not going to help us to be a better person. Humanity needs spirituality for spirituality is the very core of human beings, yet, religions (in most cases) HAVE DIVERTED from spirituality into a set of laws which only disconnects human from their spirituality even more.

Today's world need a new spirituality framework, badly.

Answer 5

I believe that all Gods are one, just a bunch of different names and that Jesus = Buddha = Mohammad = Moses = Abraham = B'hai = Confucious, etc. I believe that God sent all the prophet to different parts of the world at different times to help spiritually motivate people towards the ultimate goal of becoming more like God's persona. I believe all religions are equal and that we keep coming back here to earth as souls until we grow into a more ethereal being and join with God.

Answer 6

Sure I am. I see that many religions teach different versions of the same lessons, although most have different ways of expressing those lessons. I have no problem accepting that someone believes differently than me; their beliefs aren't necessarily going to affect mine in any way, shape or form, but I can have religious conversations and be open-minded as long as they give me the same courtesy.

Answer 7

Yes, I have a hard time with the acceptance of Jesus as the only way to heaven. Why should a leader of another religion,for example, who has only done good in their life, burn for all eternity, while a scum like Ted Bundy resides in heaven, because he accepted Jesus at the very end?

Answer 8

Yes, though I have my own religion, Wicca, I am respectful of others. However, I get really tired of certain kinds of Christians who think they must disrupt and control others...in fact I am sick of many others who do that! That has led me to make fun of them! This kind of thinking is what creates wars in our world. Only until we all learn to respect the Divine that each us has within will the world become a peaceful place.

Answer 9

Yes, I am open minded, considering how I have literally embraced both sides of the issue (well, at least atheism and christianity) in my lifetime, so I think I am more open minded than many people.

Answer 10

yes,i am very open minded when it comes to the good creator and all religions or spirituality's,to me,however one is thankful to their maker is fine.i do not believe that it is possible to have only one religion since we are a nation of many people here on this earth.
