I am not going to get into a pissing match with people who have closed minds... there is nothing to gain from it except repeating myself and hearing their well rehearsed bullshit come out.

I put this along the lines of arguing with holier than thou born again Christians. Same concept, closed minds, their opinion is all that matters, they have 100's of reasons why I am wrong, yet, I never once tell them their beliefs are wrong.

Never did I say anyone's beliefs were wrong, just that one should respect others beliefs, so long as their beliefs do not affect you.

Your closed mindness doesn't bother me in the least. I am quite content and comfortable in my belief of having open mind. Doesn't mean I believe in every little thing as someone wants to say I do. I believe there is some truth in all things these people would dub as myths, fairy tales and whatever.

I do like how those who want to be so right, talk down, belittle, add whatever they like to the argument and pick and choose what they will discuss.

Having been closed minded like some here, once, I can speak from my personal experience, the reason I was close minded was I always had to be right and I always had to win arguments.... now, I just don't care I give my beliefs and what works for me and let those with closed minds walk away thinking they have won whatever it was they wanted to win.

Pity, though, I was hoping someone from a differing viewpoint would converse with me on an equal level with equal respect given so that we may have learnt from each other. But with closed minded individuals that rarely happens.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
