We may be looking at it differently. To prove an argument you have to take it to the extreme.
Here's where I agree with you: The president believes he has a good strategy in place for combat in the desert. (generic, I know) I can keep an open mind and listen to his strategies. Whether they are good or not remains to be seen. Just cuz he says they're good.... but I digress.
There are groups which believe human sacrifice is acceptable. In fact they manufacture their own sacrifices - having babies. HOLD ON NOW! Are you willing to have an open mind and listen to their arguments?
Can you keep an open mind when the North American Man Boy Love Association wants to approve men having sex with boys? I mean, these are real people with real agendas. They feel they have a right to make their points! Do we want to keep an open mind?
Just raising St. Bernards for meat in China is too much for me. Just can't keep an open mind on that one, either. Nor the whole skinning animals alive.... Or killing a family member who accepts Jesus as their savior, just because. No open mind there! Not from me. I don't think it's always good to have an open mind. No telling what's going to sneak in there when you're least expecting!
