“The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract.”- Oliver Wendell Holmes

This is true. When someone's mind is closed, the more you try to open it the more they deny and contract and close up. I don't necessarily think it's only religious people, though. A lot of people are like that, religious or not.

It describes some of them I'm sure. But since there are many different religions represented here, it depends on which category of "religious people" you're referring to. Actually I guess it doesn't matter because there are some people like that in every religion.

It sounds like alot of people on here have Religion, but don"t have God. People need to be saved, and live for Jesus. Being saved by the Grace of God takes you to Heaven. Not religion.

No, our minds are nothing like the eye, therefore your analogy is incorrect, Sorry to disappoint you.
