I think keeping an open mind is a euphamism for never making a decision.
By never making a decision, you're off the hook for everything. (I think that's bad.)

LOL on your first answer! I agree, someone with a load of garbage to dump wherever they see fit DO look for open-minded individuals. There is a difference in being open-minded and naive. Accept a theory/concept at first, then study it - do research if you must....and THEN make a decision as to what to do with the information before getting led down a rosey path.
Good luck!

No, an open mind does not mean absorbing and believing, you can still choose what you think is right and wrong. Having an open mind is more about accepting that people are different, that there are different ideas out there and only embracing that. you don't have to embrace a specific idea.

they will probably try, but if you get some critical thinking skills you will be able to keep an open mind and keep out the garbage.

If you let them:
So take the biblical warning seriously:
"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who shall privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, bring swift destruction upon themselves". (2 Peter 2:1),
Jesus said: In the last days " many false prophets shall arise and deceive many".
The Bible says: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God... because many false prophets are gone out into the world". (I John 4:1)

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks therefore your question shows that your mindset is already full of it and it is too late.

they will probably try to. but an open mind comes with open eyes. so if you see a "garbage truck" coming: steer clear
