Freethinker: : one that forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority; especially : one who doubts or denies religious dogma
By all means let's be open-minded,
but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.Richard Dawkins, in "Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder,"

I have had so many xians tell me that I am not being open-minded because I won't accept their gawd beliefs and I keep saying that freethought does not mean "gullible."
Deedee...love your icon! Praise be to coffee! LOL!
michaelbains... Glad you like my addition to my blog title.
I am so sick of xians calling me a hypocrite because I call myself a freethinker. Freethinker does not mean that I should consider that Isis, Cronus, or Mr. Sandman are real. Freethinkers are not airheads that just consider anything and everything to be true. I am so glad I am "DEPROGRAMMED"
