I keep an open mind to any alternative pov actually in general. I will admit, my initial reaction might seem like I'm in shock or offended but I quickly put that away and consider whatever is brought to my attention.
I say this because I was raised in a strict christian religion, apostolic somewhat close to Pentecostal. I watched family and members of the church go thru some extreme experiences and of course my own. I never understood the need for them to control and justify the way they acted.
I can't stand shxx like that.. it bugs me. I will always be very open minded and willing to listen to anything and everything somebody wants to show me. Hope that doesn't change when I'm an older wiser man.
Right on, Wally. It's way too easy to get stuck in our ways as we age. I wish more people had your attitude.
