I mean...blind...stick to their God and pray to him, after that they wait for the results. I know that NOT all of them behave in this way...but...those who do....are soooooooo lame
I asked a christian once: Why don't you think with your brain and not with others' brain (I mean they accept everything that they are told)? And the answer was, surprisingly: **** off you satanist, you are insane

I would think that being a Christian would not be narrow minded, but open minded.
Narrow mindedness assumes that one would only accept certain things, where I would think that to believe ANYTHING is possible would constitute a very broad mind and thinking.

Dude,if you view Christians in such a way,could you not view yourself also as narrow minded?If you sit around and boil over this all the time,then you could be considered a person with a one track mind.Christians are not narrow minded at all.In fact,we are not held back mentally by any means,because we don't put up parameters that we can't cross.
Besides,your human just like we are,so therefore,you are in no better shape than the rest of us.
Peace.

We are not narrow-minded. To be a Christian you have to stick to your God, pray to Him and wait for the results, and other things. I don't think you have a clue as to what it means to be a Christian. Why don't you tell us what you think Christians are supposed to do, if you think you know? And who's brain do you think we think with, God's? If that were true, that Christian you spoke to would have not answered in such a way. I'll say a prayer for you for understanding.

WELL..
I am not Christian , but I will honestly share my experience that I got from interacting with many Christians..
The "Believe it this way " policy they are using when you discuss with them some of the mysterious issues in Bible is just showing how closed minded they are..
Religion is about mind, maybe you have to accept some facts by your heart , BUT defenitly NOT main basics of your creed, like how come God has a son , or why would he torture his son to forgive our sins??.....etc
I have never received any convinient answer from any Christian I met concerning God's true nature, Bible contradictions and Salvation and I do not think they actually have any...

I still feel that alot of Christians keep their blind side going because when they have started to think, they realize Christianity is illogical (Jesus is not G-d). They climb back into their shell for protection and they do not have to question things---just accept what they have been told to accept. It is alot safer there, and goes along with the crowd---they cannot buck the crowd (not acceptable---not proper).

Why are MOST Christians narrow-minded? The word most in the question also makes your question narrow minded. What came to my mind is how many Christians do you actually know that you hang out with? What is their background? How long have they been a Christian? And last why does it matter to you, what are your offering to make their life better?

Fear and ignorance are compelling reasons to keep your mouth shut and follow the instructions of others. Most people do not have the will power or the creativity to consider ideas beyond what they are taught, and so some are stuck in the mud, allowing themselves only to follow and never to lead.

If you think that Christians are "blind" and "lame," then you are the one who's being narrow-minded.
Perpetuating stereotypes against an entire group of people is the worst form of narrow-mindedness.

The most fanatical ones believe the Bible is "inerrant". I just learned that word and it means not a SINGLE word in the Bible is wrong. How can you expect people like that to actually have an independent intelligent thought.
