I think you're ignoring a lot of openminded christians, I think I've even come across a couple of them here on the boards.

But as for your topic, actually, I've noticed a trend among atheists to act the same way. In that they refuse to accept other possibilities outside of what they've established for themselves.

Once upon a time I had this theory that found correlation between atheism and catholicism (since a catholic upbringing is one of the surest ways to bring about an atheist youth) and held that the mode of belief never changes, simply the object of belief. So the idea of "god" or "no god" is ascribed to with equal and in fact identical fanaticism.

thoughts?
