If one wanted to be truly open minded in religious matters, one would have to be an agnostic, correct? To choose a religion, and to steadfastly adhere to it, is a form of closed mindedness, isn't it? So perhaps open mindedness isn't always the answer. I, for example, believe in God. But I'm open minded enough to respect agnosticism as well as all other religiosity. In fact, I think I respect agnosticism more than any other form of belief, including my own, precisely because of its inherent open mindedness.
No human can ever prove or disprove the existence of God. Many have tried, none that I know of have succeeded, though ostensibly convincing proofs have been offered on both sides of the issue.
Our personal beliefs are, ultimately, a matter of choice. I choose to believe in God because I simply want to so believe.
