I fail to see how keeping an open mind offends people, but sure enough someone comes along and shows us that keeping an open mind bothers the faithfully challenged.. eeewwwww... its those opened mind people again.. they really piss me off!! "sarcasm" Yes were out there buddy.. And we have open minds!! we don't care who or what you believe in, we just sit back and let you non open minds bash each others faith or lack of... "This is truely America the home of the offended " Captain Archer's response was most adequate not to offend the majority of viewers... How does it feel to be a minority?

The depiction of the Ferengi in the DS9 series, and the unsubtle slam it represented against both Capitalism and social conservatism, always reminded me of the way that the Nazis depicted Jews in the anti-semitic cartoons that they produced for their own children.

I think it would have been interesting if he had said something specific about his faith, in a matter of fact manner, and let the audience deal with it.

Maybe it would have been interesting if he said he was a Muslim?

By attacking Archer's statement about his faith I'm also obviously indirectly attacking people who think "keeping an open mind" is one of life's highest virtues. I respect people more who've thought deeply about various things and have opinions about them.
