A closed mind is a mind that dwells in the past, and the present is no more than a collection of habits, traditions, rites, rituals, addictions, and repetitions of by-gone eras with little or no interest in things future. Such a mind is not subject to change easily and a mind that can quickly resist anything new or different.
Religion, for example, is the perfect fit for a closed mind because religion is a collection of habits, traditions, rites, rituals, addictions, and repetitions of by-gone eras with little or no interest in things future.
Religion is also the place for an order of worship, for the order in which things are done never changes because the prescription never changes.
The order of worship is also timed, or set to a clock, so that the order from the beginning to the end never changes, and the people can easily memorize the order of worship as well as the length of time.
To keep people living in the present, religion never ventures to introduce events of the future other than death.
Religion is like a television with one channel and one program where the people participate in re-runs: week after week, month after month, year after year, and even century after century, including generation after generation.
Parents can commit their children to religion just as easily as people can be committed to psychiatric hospitals and the children grow up in the insane asylum of religion because religion is the control substance of their minds and thereby their behaviors are dictated by their religion. No wonder Karl Marx said, "Religion is he opiate of people."
Religion, more than any other institution, is therefore the leading cause for closed minds in people worldwide, all across the ages and pages of human history, thereby closing the minds of people to the truth of God, the truth of Christ, and the truth of the Bible: beginning at the earliest age possible in young children and continuing throughout their lives in order to keep the minds of adults as the minds of children.
Religion's purpose, therefore, should be easy to see and understand, which is to keep people imprisoned in their minds to religion while building a wall to keep God out---and to rob them of their souls at death.
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2: 5-11)
