Well characterized and qualified, Mike. Of course in the end we all agree to disagree. And I would say that being cautiously skeptical is not synonymous with close-minded. One last thought: since a decision can only be judged intelligent after considerable time (and if you change your mind does that mena the old decsion was not intelligent?), usually I like to paint my current working worldview as an 'informed position'.

Myself, after having been steeped in Catholicism and after careful consideration for all these years, I'm pretty closed minded on any theology. I find them interesting, that's about it. I've seen enough evidence in all this time to make an intelligent decision. Adding deities to cosmology is a completely unnecessary over complication. This in an area people must agree to disagree on and respect each other's right to their point of view.

It could be considered open mined I guess in that no theology has been adopted, so all may or may not be of interest. i dunno, depends on the person.

That's a more arguable position, MikeDoyle, from a definition of Atheism point of view. But it does not defend the point that makes it a more 'open-minded' position. This might merit a forum post discussion?

Atheism is merely the lack of any theology. It's the simplest, most logical base condition. Why add a theology when one is not necessary?

You proved it yourself:"... is simplyconcluding...." An openmind, by definition, keeps thedoor open - doesn't shut it byconcluding its implausible.

Godis the same for me. Ibelieve-in use God like Ibelieve-in/use Love.
