Do you have an open mind about others' religious beliefs?

Answer 1

Yes, I have adopted other religions's beliefs as my own...

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it"
- Buddha -

“The individual who prosecutes a man, his brother, because he is not of the same opinion, is a monster”
- Voltaire -

Answer 2

No, I don't. I admit this because it is obvious. As an atheist I cannot accept the beliefs of others to be "possible" without undermining my own beliefs. Either there is a god or there isn't, and I cannot keep an open mind about religious beliefs that contradict my own. No one can.

Answer 3

I'm Unitarian Universalist and our faith calls upon us to continually search for truth. That specifically charges us with listening to others and trying to find whatever truth they may have to share with us. Therefore, we are expected to be open to the religious beliefs of other people and if necessary to adapt our spiritual practice in accordance with any truth we may discover.

Answer 4

I do have an open mind and that is how I found out that your prophet is the biggest liar in history. He not only created a lie about God and himself but he is the reason for all the crime in the Islamic world and innocent people die every day because of him and his teachings. Because of him and his teachings so many lives were destroyed back then and now after 1400 years people are still dying in his name. He is in the middle of hell burning for the crimes he did and still you Muslims are doing it for him in our time. Your religion is a cancer in the whole body of the world.

Answer 5

Yes, we do. But the problem is that in some cases the scholars of the concerned religions have altered the very basic ideas of that religion.
That's Y the religions are not now in the shape as the messengers of GOD introduced, taught and preached in their life time.

Answer 6

Hello Muslimah.. :)

My mind is open to all other Faiths..

But my heart serves only one Faith..for Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.. :)

I will not condemn any other Faith..by me sharing my beliefs, should not be taken as me critizing other beliefs in any way..I am just sharing from my heart.. :)

I advocate only Love, peace, joy, kindness, goodness, forgiveness..We are to Love thy neighbor as thyself, we cannot do that by condemning one another..but only lifting one another up in Love..

Have a Happy Thanksgiving..(If you celebrate it..)

In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

Answer 7

What is your definition of open minded? I am completely open and accepting that we all have free will to choose what we will believe. I respect everyone's right to do so.

That doesn't mean if someone tells me the sky is green and grass is purple I am going to agree with them. There are definitely certain absolute truths. But I do not take it upon myself to condemn people who choose to believe falsehoods.

Answer 9

Absolutely. Unless they are knockin' on my door and cramming their beliefs down my throat or standing on a street corner shouting out verses. Many religions are quite interesting in many ways, it's sometimes mind-boggling how they interpret certain things, it's almost as if they twist it to suit their own needs. But interesting to learn about nonetheless.

Answer 10

Of course! I will always believe what I believe and nothing will shake me from it. However, just because I believe one thing and someone believes another, doesn't mean they are totally wrong. Even those we think most unlikely to be believing things similar to us, sometimes turn out to be closer to what we believe that we think. We may even learn something we didn't know. An open mind means we are teachable.
