Closed-minded?

"The purpose of an open mind is the same as that of an open trap: to close it eventually on something solid." -- GK Chesterton 

Many believe Christians are closed-minded because we believe we have the only way to salvation. At the same time we're accused of believing in fairy tales.

Which is it? Too credulous or too incredulous?

The fact is that I'm more open-minded than any secularist I know. To believe the Bible, we  Christians have to believe that at least two people walked on water. We have to believe that the earth's rotation stopped or slowed, that dead people came back to life, and that not everything has a materialistic explanation.

Doesn't sound very closed-minded to me.
