If you're too open-minded, your brain will fall right out

In all honesty, I did not think I would be on this again so soon. However, I have recently been thinking that perhaps I am not passionate enough about some things.

Ok, to start at the beginning, I am currently in a situation where one of my friends (and roommate) has very definite ideas about how things should be. She is very strong in her faith, and she definitely has her opinions about what is right and what is wrong. She also (occasionally) tries to see the other side of the issue, but she does not understand why it does not align with her idea. While I respect some of those qualities, I find it difficult to talk with her about any subject, because it is so frustrating. I tend to play the devil's advocate, and she just does not even try to accept another point of view.

That being said, I am trying to figure out if I am doing the right thing in being so open-minded about things. I have no definite stance on really any subject. I can see both sides of the issue. Well, that's not true. For example, I'm against the death penalty, I am pro Gay rights. However, there are many more issues that I am really quite fuzzy about. Another example, I'm not pro-choice, but I'm also not pro-life. Now, those are definitely hot topics that many people are fuzzy on. What about faith?

I haven't decided. I have grown up Christian (Methodist), and I have been fairly happy with that up-bringing. I felt as though my faith was strong; I was always encouraged to have "an open heart, open mind, and open door" (which consequently, is the Methodist motto). That being said, I am not confident that Christianity is "the way." I think it works for me, but I'm not even sure about that.

Oh geez...I don't even know where to go from here. I guess that's all for now. I better stop before my brain falls out...
