1. Ready to accept on firm
evidence that one's most cherished beliefs may be hogwash, but bearing in mind that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary
evidence.
2. Politically correct synonym for "gullible" used by New
Age quacks who want to sell you a bill of goods.
I am open-minded about the existence of the Judeo-Christian
God. If he appears in the immortal flesh in the heavens to me and a few billion other people and manifests his
power openly in such a manner that it cannot possibly be a dream, illusion, hallucination or anything of the sort, I'll accept he is there. In the meantime, it is more befitting the heritage of the
human intellect to ignore such figures as mythical.
Open-mindedness is a virtue, but when dealing with New
Age salespeople it is important to remember that if you keep your mind too open, your brain
may fall out.
