I have to disagree with you there. I am baptist and my children did not just "get to graduate" because they were born again believers. It is a compliment to say we "Christian folk" are not "open minded." Open mindedness leads to destruction! One can agree to disagree without getting sucked into a false sense of society's viewpoints, which are many might I add. I have friends who are Muslim, Indian, Buddhists and the list goes on...do I agree with their "ways" or their "religion" no, and I am not going to be "open minded" to their viewpoints either, instead, I respect their viewpoints without shoving mine down their throats. The way to getting others to see your point of view, is to live by it...be an example...that gets people interested and asking questions if they are truly interested in what you believe. If they are not interested, they will not ask but at least you showed them through your actions, what kind of a person you are and what you do believe. Frankly, I think most "religions" agree that we should love one another and treat our neighbors kindly...that's a universal belief having nothing to do with "religion" per se.
