It's a huge disservice to classify all minds as either closed or open. I find the best minds are closed by openable windows.

One of the biggest contradictions in self-proclaimed open-mindedness is to say that we're all one but when a true bigot comes around tell him we're all different. It's usually the case that neither side is correct. One might have the right to do something, anything, but sure enough, that doesn't mean it's right and a benefit to other people.

To be more precise about it, it is neither close nor open-mindedness but wisdom, discernment, and a pure heart that God wants.

It's not about whether or not someone is a bigot, but whether or not the argument which that someone is arguing is worth being a bigot about.

The strength of one's opinion should not exceed their knowledge on the matter.

One’s opinion should only be as strong as one’s knowledge on the matter.
