In order to get other people's perspective on some of my questions I try asking them here.
I do get a few answers from others who consider my viewpoint and judge it on its own merits. However, others simply answer my questions by rattling off your run-of-the-mill Christian Bible babble.
How would one word their questions in order to get open-minded answers or is that too much to expect from here?

A mind is not a door, it is a valve.
It can only be opened from one side.
You are asking for a door you can open from the outside, when most of the fundamentalist

How does one encourage someone to be open to seeing things from your perspective? By being open to seeing things from their perspective. One cannot expect others to do what he is not willing to do.
Questions that are asked with a "sneer" or that aren't even a question but really just a thinly veiled insult generally do not engender the kind of open-minded response you are referring to though...

I am an open minded Christian. You can ask anything you like....I am hard to offend for the most part. And being closed minded is not only a Christian thing here, I have seen respect and disrespect from all. Including myself, that is. I said I was hard to offend....not impossible.

so what your saying is you would like all of us to give you the answers you want? Ok done. You encourage others to be open to seeing things from your perspective -by getting on their level when you ask a question.

hard to trust woman with a fist
in the air, makes one doubt motives
like this. It hurts me deeply that God ordered people to kill other people and it makes it difficult for me to trust Him (important that you capitalize here if you want to be taken seriously, because it shows you value your opponents position). Does this not seem difficult to you???? Also very important that you read answers because there in lays your next question.

The open mind isn't created by the question; it's in the answerer or it isn't. (Unfortunately.)
