I disagree. I prefer to examine all sides of an issue, even those which I find personally distasteful. I rule nothing out. Only by listening to and considering all truth claims in the light of reason, revelation, and experience may a educated opinion be formed.
I’m sorry you disagree. I’ll refrain from pinging you further in relation to controversial topics.
Each individual makes choices in their life. We don’t need to rehash things over and over again. There is also something we call morality which are certain truths which bear out under any circumstances. One of those is racism is evil and bad. At best it is ignorance, but in reality it is a force of evil.
At some point in our lives we should be educated enough to understand that, among other moral truths. If we “have an open mind” on everything, we are first of all not being honest with ourselves, but also not allowing ourselves to be guided by universal truths that have been given to us by God. For example, I doubt if you need to really consider “all truth claims” of Jeffrey Dahmer about killing and eating human beings to understand it is wrong. His reasoning for doing such acts does not lend itself to enlightening us about the evil of what he has done really. The act is enough. For me, that is the same for racism. It is wrong, period. And, if you know someone who tries to cloud that truth with some hyperbole, just ask them then why would it be wrong for others to be racist against them?
If you reread your post you will note that your last paragraph does not logically match what your first paragraph states. Are you saying in the second paragraph that you do not wish to discuss with people who disagree with you?
