Openmindedness

The purpose of this website is to promote the message that all points of view have merit, all contain at least a basis of truth, Christian, non Christian, liberal, conservative; all seven billion religions on this planet and all seven billion political ideologies..have value.

Human nature finds the individual establishing a set of beliefs, clinging to them tenaciously, and fighting all others. Far different to accept in advance the correctness of any belief which differs from one's own.

"The world advances only because of those who oppose it."  (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

I dare any Christian to approach a Moslem, and declare "your religiosity is as true as mine, albeit different."

I dare any liberal to approach any conservative with the same conciliatory political  message.

Even if we could create an eclectic assimilation of human thought, would we be any closer to any ultimate truth? May we all at least have enough humility to understand that our greatest, deepest thoughts are, ultimately, inadequate.
