I have with the self proclaimed "Christians" is that they want to live a certain way, and that's fine; but they want to insist EVERYONE live their way or else.

I know a lot of fine people who are very religious, but they don't make an issue of it. They live within their beliefs and leave others to follow their own hearts and sets of values. They don't bad mouth others who believe differently, because, I think they understand that each individual will be judged by the eyes of God. Judge not that thee might be judged. When you meet these people, you notice they have a stillness and serenity about them. These are the people who are living examples of a Christian, IMHO.

I don't think that being open minded has anything to do with allowing your mind to be changed from your core beliefs. I think it is being willing to listen and understand the other person's point of view. We're all a product of our own beliefs and experiences. Doesn't mean we can't be respectful of someone else's perspective, nor does it mean we need to drop what we believe and adopt another view.
