Open-mindedness

[Medensis]

I often hear religious/spiritual people telling others who don't accept their ideas at face value as close-minded. Here I have an excellent 9 minute video(humor within) that will (hopefully)change your definition of open-mindedness.

Context of the moment that uses an opponents own concepts to demonstrate the vid's points is much more challenging to my muse. If my muse gets too bored it tends to sidwalk graffiti.

Well, that was a minute and 33 seconds of my life that I'll never get back.

dismissed without inquiry.

Typical.

Not really. It was basic logic and reason just biased in that it was void of the evidence/examples that is availble supporting the supernatural and full of evidence/examples refuting it.

I could just as easily make a video with the same (4th grade?) level principles only biased against naturalism.

It's a simple propaganda video except my fake, english-educated scientific accent may not be quite as good.

I love how you judge the content without actually reviewing it.

lets hear some specific rebuttals. What exactly is wrong with the content in the video?

I stated my point although I admit to assuming that the last 7.5 minutes were as 'good' as the first minute-and-a-half.

If you watched the entire video, please point me to the minute mark where evidence for the supernatural was offered.

Thanks.

first, ive watched the whole thing.

second, why in the hell would you expect evidence for the supernatural in a video about nothing supernatural?

third, do your own fucking research. Im not going to do any of your work for you. If you have a rebuttal, present it, but if not, dismissing it without actually evaluating the whole of the thing is just stupid.

... why in the hell would you expect evidence for the supernatural in a video about nothing supernatural?

And here I thought the video was about open-mindedness?

Thanks for confirming my propaganda claim.

what does the subject of openmindedness have to do with providing supernatural evidence? Is openmindedness supernatural?

Last time I checked, open-mindedness meant being open to new ideas and/or ideas new to you.

For the maker of this video, I think evidence for the supernatural well qualifies since the way he presents the supernatural as lacking evidence seems rather close-minded to me.

Sort of a do as I say, not as I do kind of thing.
