Open Minded?

I saw this on a sign outside a church

If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.

It made me laugh. I thought, does this imply that Christians are closed minded? And if that's the case would they say it's not a bad thing?

On their defence, one could argue that it's not being closed minded when it's the truth (assuming it is the truth). But being closed minded about one area doesn't necessarily generalise to other areas.

I was asked by my friend a little while ago... what would convince me go to a 'community church'?

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible. Stuart Chase, Writer and Economist, b.1888

I believe that religious texts/meanings have been misinterpreted through centuries of just being in existence and for that reason I wouldn't "sign up". In the end, I wouldn't be surprised if they are all trying to say the same thing. So religiously, that's where I'm at at the moment.

The way I see it is that there's someone with the greatest sense of humor upstairs, and I don't mean it in a sarcastic way.
