*giggles* I have never heard that phrase "so open-minded, your brain falls out". That's a good one!
Christianity seems VERY nutty, when you look at it from the outside. A few years ago I was thumbing through a book on Buddhism, and I was shaking my head at how ridiculous some of the myths surrounding Buddha's birth were. I suddenly realized those stories are no more ridiculous and no less impossible to prove than the stories surrounding Jesus' birth! That thought stopped me in my tracks and convinced me to approach Buddhism with respect, rather than ridicule.
