What Religious Folks Mean When They Tell You To Be Open Minded by Xmuslim: 4:37am On Sep 08, 2020
Recently I have noticed the religious folks using this term carelessly and I found it amusing grin. This is what I think they meant.

They are asking you to submit your brain to the teachings of their particular religion. do these folks even know the definition of open mindedness?

They’re just telling you believe that a donkey can talk, a snake can talk to a woman or Mohammed can fly on a horse to heaven. They just want to force these things down your throat by force without you arguing with them

Which of the gods talks about love? Which God says He is Love? This your rationale that since there are many persons, therefore there is no Person is amusing.

These are mythological deities associated with romance, sex, lust, or sexuality. They don't teach preach anything or claim to preach anything. Being open minded to love God in the context kittex mentioned is evidently missing. i am certain you have not read from any of these so called sexual gods. Stay on point, you have read enough verses, chapters and books from the God inferred than to be so dull as to ask which gods.
Re: What Religious Folks Mean When They Tell You To Be Open Minded by MJBOLT: 12:12pm On Sep 08, 2020
same way your christian god is a myth or do you have evidence to prove other wise and at least 10 of the gods there are for marriage and family and not lust or romance but typical nigerian christian,he wont read to gain knowledge and unlike your blood sucking god,these gods do not kill babies or brag about creating evil.

Maybe you should remove the word "mythological" from my statement and read again. It's not the point, it was your link that called them so. The point is your dullard confusion as to ask which of the gods. How many of the dozens of gods have preached to you that you are confused? How many religious folks tell you to be open minded to the love of God or love God? How many texts or messages did you get that got you so befuddled?

Talking audibly to a man in America while I'm in Nigeria(thousands of miles away) through a small box called the telephone.. Is more of a miracle than a donkey talking.
If Man achieved such miracle, angels(if they exist) should be able to do better. If there be a God somewhere and he can't make donkeys talk, he is no god at all.

you must be suffering from severe dementia,when did i ask you which god?you better scroll up and check who did and stop this show of foolishness,no religious re.tard has ever preached love,all they do is preach eternal damnation and threaten you with hell fire and there is nothing loving about a blood sucking god that kills babies for fun.

Toh, you took up xmuslim's post, idea and view as your own na. Now you are denying him. Who wants to be long associated with folly? You answered for him by chuking mouth that there are dozens of gods.
Open your mind to the love of God. Jesus loved you. Ret.ards don't preach that of course. But i am sure you have heard it countless times except you live in a hole.
Re: What Religious Folks Mean When They Tell You To Be Open Minded by MJBOLT: 12:47pm On Sep 08, 2020
how does contributing on a thread translates to me asking which god?you are more stupid than i thought.i should open my mind to a god that loves killing babies and threaten people with eternal damnation grin if that is love to you then i'll pass.

Don't be unfortunate... No one in 900 years B.C will believe such is possible. You see it as "telecommunications" because you are a modern man.. They will see it as a miracle!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
With man's advance in Bio-technology, give him a 1,000 years and He (man) will make donkeys talk.
If the natural can achieve this, then the supernatural (super than natural) will definitely do better.

The difference is the knowledge of man (science) is observable, proven, can be studied and recreated which is from the understanding of rules the universe.

We are still waiting to observe miracles (not anecdotes or stories, but a total suspension of the natural order of the world) for a donkey to fly or a newborn infant to talk for example. Such a thing should be more possible to prove now a days considering a lot of people carry a device that can record and take pictures.

One of the things they mean is don't be critical of their religion ie don't poke holes in the narrative that showcases why the religion doesn't make sense.

Vishnu part of the Hindu trinity/triad. Along with Brahma (The father and creator) and Shiva (destroyer of evil).

He is the god of love and protector.
He incarcerates as Buddah and Krishna among others, as a hero or to teach people.

Will you be able to accept him as your lord?
Over a Billion people already do.

Did Mohammed do anything supernatural? Well an hadith said "water gushed out of his fingers"... Going by using physical means, what Mohammad did was a scam.
PS: I would have answered differently if you were atheist.

Ok then how does one go about to prove or observe the spiritual?
And if it can be studied and recreated then that means it can be utilized and expected to work as consistently as any tool in man's disposal.

What makes you think I'm not? Anyway my religious inclination is rather ambiguous.

Which one is Odin BTW, na film character?
Odin is one of the early beings(god). You can read extensively about him in the BOOK OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY. Currently Odin has joined the gods of science in the universal explorations and he doesn't associate with religion anymore. Check for Odin in verse 5 below.

1. And while Nymphidis was away in the pit, many rulers began to emerge. And the sons of God which are called gods and their wives which are called goddesses took over all the lands. And the lands were split into different fragments. And there were villages and towns and cities and countries and tribes.
2. For each god taught his own people how to speak in the language he had chosen.
3. And Vishinus was he who taught many of the languages spoken by those in the countries which were in the land of Largas. And also was Mazda and Bajang , Jing, Barong , Basuki , Caishen, Batara Gura , Paradjartbut and thousands others.
4. And the gods in the land of Chichaleb were Tatji, Wondjina, Papang, Namorodo, Julana, Goanna, Gnowee, Bobbi and thousands other. This continent of Chichaleb were two continents before, until the two sons of God called Chaleb and Chimides became bossom friends and made decision to come together permanently.
5. And the gods in the continent of Nymphidis were Jupitus, Bragi, Loki, Venomus, Janus, Apollyon(also called Apollo), Sol, Odin , Bacchus and thousands others.
6. And the gods in the continent of Euchlydes were Mango, Chia, Eldorado, Colo, Jurupari, Sigo, Abe, Tamula and thousands others.
7. And the names of the gods in the continent of Ephradite were Coyote, Bototo, Xena, Sin, Gaol, In at half and thousands others.
8. And the gods in the country of Murmoh were Moloch, Anubis, Oghene, Apophis, Geb, Aje, Chuku, Olorun, Abassi, Faro, Gamab, Mulungu, Mbere and thousands others.
9. And the gods and goddesses ruling on the surfaces of the waters were Eartum, Osun, Gong Gong, Poseidon, Lotan, Idemili, Yemoja, Kuraokami, Watatsumi and thousands others.

Okay, interesting resume. So does Vishnu require that he be my lord? Where and why?
