Today I was thinking about dogmatism. Is there a more or less fixed amount to be doled out to each person? Often those who appear the most dogmatic are, on most issues, the most open-minded. Take a highly religious person who believes that her favored social structure follows directly from the World of God, and is convinced as such. That same person might be especially open-minded on many empirical questions in social science. Her favorite social structure is not, in her own mind, threatened. She can pursue truth on the empirical questions and she doesn't see much "dangerous" at stake.
The non-religious, in contrast, might base the case for their favored social structures on empirical questions. They might be very dogmatic on empirics, precisely because so much is at stake in the empirical debates.
When looking for open-minded people, should we look for people who are closed-minded but in a very concentrated way in just a few areas? Their dogmatism is "soaked up" by the religion, and then they are free to be open-minded.
Or does a dogmatic attitude in one area simply predict dogmatic attitudes more generally?

Perhaps decided" rather than "dogmatic." One might feel very decided or sure, but still not be dogmatic in affirming whatever it is that he is decided about. To me, being dogmatic means reverting in argument to certain lame tenets. Being decidedly Christian or whatever does not necessarily mean that one does that. Your point would still work.
Here's a nice example of dogmatism. . .
little Suri had her own pint-sized version of Mom’s orange hermes bags . Later on, Katie was seen with a rare Hermes Kelly that looked more like a boarding bag. The Hermes hand bag offset her black pencil skirt and red heels. With all the goodies that could be stuffed into that spacious bag, Holmes was ready for anything.
Herbal lida daidaihua has side effects too and if daidaihua contains ingredients that you know you can’t tolerate or interact with other medication you are on, simply don’t use lida slimming . Also keep to the recommended slimming capsule dose. The herbal slimming capsules market place is not regulated, which means there are many actors on the stage whose lida sole purpose is to make short term money and nothing else.
I can say that if you have not seen a Chanel handbags , you will regard the replica Chanel handbags as the original one. They have the same logos, colors, designs, and styles than any Chanel handbag that comes out in the market.
The main Tiffany uk store can offer special wholesale prices for bulk orders. Big third party retail shops have a large customer base, and silver accessories can afford to buy silver bracelets in bulk and offer Tiffany accessories at significantly lower prices for their customers.
Hi friend amazing blog about "What is real dogmatism?", is very creative and very professional information I like to learn more about the subject further, I am collecting new information to add to your blog

For Catholicism and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Christianity, the dogmata are contained in the Nicene Creed and the canon laws of two, three, seven, or twenty-one ecumenical councils. These tenets are summarized by St. John of Damascus in his Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, which is the third book of his main work, titled The Fount of Knowledge.
Well actually, i wonder if the a really religious person, like a catholic can accept this as a way of live ?
