If you say there is no God, you have a reprobate mind
Then why do plants grow up instead of down?
CHECK and MATE
So? If we are gods why should we be so humble about it? I don't really believe if there's no god that we fill an empty niche, though. I see no need for such entities at any rate.
Yes Humility is a human character trait. However, I have not written anything about it, specifically.
Yes it seems humility is important
So I would opt for that (and a creator )
For the same reason YOU probably do not believe in the Easter Bunny. Can you prove it doesn't exist?
I would like your response if I could.
Well-worded. Can't get my thoughts across like this.
Did god give you a signed permission slip to speak in his name or something? I mean, here you are an anonymous, faceless person claiming to know all sorts of stuff about what your god wants despite the fact we don't know anything about you at all. Why should we take anything you say seriously. Your type are a nickle a dozen on these forums, all claiming to know the truth from their invisible pretend gods. Who are you to tell us anything? What magnificent accomplishments do you claim?
Why didn't you simply answer the questions instead of ignoring them? You have no credibility here at all. You've given no indication of being competent to judge anyone's actions, much less hold yourself up to a higher standard. As I asked earlier, "who the heck are you to be putting yourself up as a role model for anyone?" This time, try answering the questions if you want to be taken seriously.
btw, do you really need a "signature" ?
Yet another completely meaningless and useless religious thread.
Good show of the OP's inability to learn tolerance. What a joke.
You want to deceive yourself, be my guest. But, like I said many times before, it's your belief and you have no right to include anyone else in your belief.
Apparently you've too much ego, to understand anything properly or even in it's proper context.You know, your actions prove that they are not of love, right?
So much for following in the advice of your said G/god.
You can preach till your hearts content, sooner of later, the world will rid itself of you and be done with you. And you won't be aware of it.
BS.
And, you seem to think I care about something which you believe? I don't care for your actions. That is my duty as a citizen of the human species. And, if you don't like it, then too bad. You speak about a G/god which you have not a mind to fathom. It's a shame.
I don't need to call you names and I am not an Atheist.
Yes, stupidity in motion will continue forever, and ever, and ever, to infinity. Too bad you've no clue.
This thread wasn't meant to be serious, was it? Reprobates are those who choose to think for themselves?
Must be a baptist OP! Felixedet2000 is male from what I have learned. And Christian, solely based on Christianity.
Male I would not have known and have less interest.
Christian - well, as one with a reprobate mind I suppose I'm pretty worthless at discerning such things. I might have never guessed that startling fact.
Yes, the same way children believe in Santa Claus until they grow up. Some never do, though. Grow up, that is. Baptist are you?
Not me!! I consider myself a retrobait.
Git it? These "mortals" are highly educated men. Too bad those "mortals" who made up the bible stories were ignorant goat herders, but you choose to believe them over those with much more knowledge of the world.
"Spiritual realities?"
On oxymoron if I've heard one! You trust science enough use it to get your message out on these forums, and perhaps you would trust scientific research for medical needs over simply prayer in time of sickness of yourself or loved ones. In fact, I'd wager science has made your life much easier than that which would result from the knowledge of ancient ignorant mortals. Otherwise you would still be living in a hovel with no electricity to power your scientifically based evil computer you use for lambasting the scientific community when you don't agree with their findings.
But then, I'm positive you cherry-pick biblical scripture in the same manner unless you agree with every verse of the goat herders tales. Do you take literally every word of the bible as truth?HA! First you must assume you are a worthy opponent, Felix. You've yet to respond to my assertion concerning your cherry-picking both science and the bible for what you wish them to be. You seem to ignore questions you do not care to address. You distrust scientists when they dare to contradict your old novel, but use the results of their work to rail against their findings. There's a word for someone who does this. Do you know what it is?
runs around the room with hand raised....screaming...PICK ME PICK ME I know the answer.
Of course YOU do, Ray. But does he, that's the question.
Sure, I can answer questions. You however, simply support my previous assertion of ignoring queries put to you. You don't answer me, I do the same for you. Touche!
Why are you sure, Claire? Were you there?
The authors of the books you hold so dear are unknown to us. Besides this, many other writers who claimed to speak for your god had their messages thrown out of the biblical compilation because common people like you disagreed with them.
You are immersed in a man-made religion based on man-made writings with nothing to show any deity had a hand in it. No different than the Book of Mormon with all of its nonsense written by a mere con man. But as you can see, many fell for it as you've fell for YOUR favored novel.
But feel free to show your god inspired any of the anonymous writers if you can.
Oh come on. Reco1! A "litany of blabbering claptrap" is the standard fare of believers on these forums.
I promise you Kyrie, if you guys will stop spreading nonsense about your faith, we won't criticize those spouting it. Straight facts are welcome here if those of your belief can merely stick to them. Superstition has always drawn criticism from those who knew better. Hopefully this will always be the case, because if not, we will be overrun by so many imaginary god cults on these forums it will be even worse than it is now.
And I don't judge a whole group or all it's members. Just the ones I interact with who seem to fail to understand Jesus' teachings.
I don't deal in the irrationality of the bible. The books of religion are just stories, laden with a bit of history, but locked in to old world mysticism and dishonest.
When people use the bible to validate itself, they show how much they don't understand how "truth" or "facts" are determined. Thus, they are irrational in thinking.
I enjoy pointing out the actions of people to those people. And, I thoroughly enjoy doing in the forums, because not only what I say to that person is seen by that person, but it is also seen by thousands of others.
So, when I respond to a post, it create a huge impact on others, even if it doesn't do anything for the person I have responded to to start off.
My actions of pointing out the actions of others is based on honesty. Most people don't like it when they run into someone who is more honest than them, because they see something they are not accustom to seeing from the average person. Why not? Because, nowadays, the average person isn't honest. There are more dishonest people in the world than there are honest people.
The irony is that 95% of the world religious based in thinking.
And, those who are religious seem to think that 5% of the world is causing all the problems. And that would be completely untrue.And, can you determine which of your actions are ego driven and which are not?
I would say not because of your post is in conflict, but that's not the only thing I see from your post. I also see a person who is attempting to be compassionate and tolerant.
But, if you are unable to provide a specific answer to my initial question, then will be cause me to understand something completely different about you.
However, I have faith in humanity and I believe in humanity, so hope is always present.
Well crappy deim to you too, Cory.
I'm agnostic, so I've yet to see any facts supporting your position on the god or gods exisitng at this time. And didn't your old novel tell your ilk to expect to be persecuted for spreading the superstitions of your cult? I suppose WE are here to fulfill the prophecies ina manner of speaking.
This was a pretty smart ruse by the anonymous writers of the old myth book as it makes the "spreaders of delusion" feel they are truly doing their god's work as instructed. Anyone who disagrees with them are merely persecutors and makes them feel embolden to continue the ruse. "See there, Jesus was right! But it's not because I'm wrong at all, no, no. It was foretold to be so." Standard god fare, no matter the deity.
That's the problem Felixedet2000, you're preaching a diluted perversion of Jesus' teachings and fail to realize it.
You see, this is the problem setting yourself up as the arbiter of who knows love or who doesn't, and whether they are acknowledging things they've seen no evidence of. Who do you think you are, Dude? You are assuming godly powers yourself, aren't you?
Give us some reason, some magnificent accomplishments, anything at all which could possibly inform us as to why we should believe anything at all posted by an anonymous, judgmental, self-proclaimed preacher? Certainly you can list a few wonderful feats, especially with you apparent ESP ability.
PS. Love how you manged to get in the old "persecution complex" thing in just in case.
And who do you think you are to assert that God does exist? You, too, are a mere mortal.
Are you really that messed up that you would ask such an egregiously ignorant question?
No sir! I would have to say that you are the only pathetic figure in this exchange. I sympathize to the point that I urge you to seek counseling, PLEASE!
Any TODDLER could recite such worthless nonsense. This is profoundly disturbing that it is coming from the mind of an adult.
Then I guess since I don't know if Thor or the Flying Spaghetti Monster is real, I should not call them nonsense. Do you see just how hopeless your worldview is? You have nothing but psychotic babble.
OK, that's fair. Now show me the evidence for your beliefs. Show me that your religion is NOT nothingness, void and hollow. You can't do that can you? You should now understand that you are suffering from a serious disconnect from reality.
So what is your IQ Felix? And tell me why it is that you believe that you possess the ability to fathom what most of the people with IQ's in the top percentile can't?
You are the one that has acted in a completely uncivilized, unintelligent and childish fashion, yet you think it is me who should be embarrassed? Get real!
You have evaded every question that I, and everyone else, has asked you. You have rambled on with childish nonsensical drivel...totally devoid of meaning, never stopping to reflect upon what the other person is actually asking.
psychosis
Pronunciation (sī-kō′sis, -sēz)
A mental and behavioral disorder causing gross distortion or disorganization of a person's mental capacity, affective response, and capacity to recognize reality, communicate, and relate to others to the degree of interfering with that person's capacity to cope with the ordinary demands of everyday life.
Really? Isn't the standard of G/god you're supposedly to live up to? If not, then what's the point.
You mean, YOU are required. The fact that you continue to include ALL people is the most ridiculous part of your belief.
Actually, you are. You were born. Duh!
Yeah, it just means you're confused and conflicted.

0 Well said. God loves those who believe and those that don't. Love the title of this thread by the way - I think I have a REPROBATE mind but I still believe!
What on earth prompts you to say such silly childish nonsense. I DON"T HAVE ANY GOD!
Sorry, but you don't have any God either!
AHAHAHAHA!!!! Do you realize just how crazy this sounds.
I guess you see that the earth is flat then. I guess you ARE special.
Who would have thought that a Bronze Age book of worthless nonsense could give you such a huge advantage? I guess God works in mysteriously foolish ways.
That's because His Truth is a lie, spouted by clueless, weak-minded, cowardly sheep, unable to even trust their own common sense.What does the one standing next to you look like? Describe his looks for us, if you don't mind. I want to see what you imagine the one "standing next to you" looks like. Be specific if you please!
Apparently your god must have created himself going by your reasoning--or lack of.
Jesus told him he would be persecuted, and darn it, he' going to make sure of it!
Another self-fulfilling prophecy?
Yep, God through His son Jesus Christ, is the reason for the wonders of the universe...including black holes, super nova, dark matter, galaxies, gravity, subatomic particles, anti-matter, etc.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to go back to the home now.The same place where you can prove Paul Bunyan, Tinkerbell, and Santa Claus don't exist either. Can you prove they are all non-existent? Have a go at it, will ya.

If being trumped by higher education means that I do not have to turn myself into a talking head, then you can keep it. : lol:
Isn't that why you exist? To make mockery of those who are aren't like you? If so, then you do a very good job, showing how limited you are in understanding of your own life, EVEN with your so-called "higher education".
I touch people's life every day and when I do, they actually realize what I say is truth. I know because I see the smile on their face and I also see the satisfaction in their eyes.
If you can say the same, then good on you. If not, then it's YOU who has things to learn, which apparently your higher education hasn't been able to provide you.The same results may be obtained from any jackass if you stand behind him long enough.
Feel free to prove me wrong, Wilmiers. What great education and accomplishments can you boast of. I cannot imagine someone of your obvious lack of communication being in charge of anything remotely important, or someone reading your words taking you seriously as being astute. Prove me wrong if you care to, or simply continue with your gibberish. I predict the latter. And if you think it's exhausting dealing with inanity, then try and think again.
the "fact" that..? You see, you have a problem knowing what a "fact" is. Facts can be proven by evidence. Don't worry though, not many believers deal in facts, so from now on simply say, "the faith that....." instead and we'll get the message and not confuse it with being something scientifically proven. This will help clarify things immensely and besides, your cult likes to use the faith word to explain everything anyway.
Right. Everyone is wrong but you. And another thing, aren't those witnessing for Jesus supposed to do so openly without hiding their identity? Aren't you ashamed to hide behind behind a wall and shout out through a window with your message? Were those who preached for Jesus hiding behind anonymity while spreading the word? Are you afraid to let those who you wish to follow your faith see you for who you are?
Where's your faith your god will protect you for serving him? Who would dare risk their soul for an unknown persons word? Think about it. For all we know you could be a criminal of some sort. Show your faith by identifying yourself openly before preaching anything requiring faith. Geeze Louise!!
Somehow you missed this question, Feelix. I'm sure it was merely an oversight as a true christian would not ever purposely do so. So I though I'd help you out by reposting it, so you can answer it now. Thanks!
- Melissa...I.....you.....never mind!
Wondering...
Yes, an eagle soaring high over everything.
Eagles are also carrion eaters, Feelix. Merely buzzards which occasionally kill their own prey. I watched a bald eagle run off a deer carcass the other day by a couple of crows.
Can you prove any of the ancients gods don't exist, Feelix? If you cannot prove they are imaginary then does it mean they are real? This is the same logic you are pathetically using to back up your argument for your imaginary god. So, have at it. Either prove those other gods are imaginary or stop using this inane logic as an excuse for why yours isn't. Don't run off and hide now before offering your proof!
Who cares what you think, Wilmiers? You are worst spokesman any god could choose to represent it.
What is it with thee "head" comments, Willy? It's always "pin head," "dead head," or something similar. I don't recall Jesus using those insulting names to describe anyone in the Bible. Does this make Jesus proud of you, Willy? Is this how your old book teaches you to spread the word? Yes, you are a shining example of true christian love and tolerance. Perhaps you can answer the questions for Feelix. He's frightened now and needs some support. Help him get out of this mess if you can.
Try sticking it, Feelix. I've given you ample opportunity to back up your lies to no avail. I[ve asked you to prove your silly claims and you die behind your silly little beliefs. No, if there were such a Jesus as you proclaim he would want you to be proud of your faith, not afraid to reveal your true identity like a thief in the night.
My identity is here for anyone to see and to find me if they are so willing. I can back my words with deeds and truth while you scurry around boasting of a god you are afraid to represent. No, you've been given a chance to show how honorable you are and have failed miserably as a spokesman for any deity, real or imagined.
No, you are no different than Wilmiers with his embarrassing. childish name-calling. Enjoy your idea of heaven. With people like your and others going there, it is my idea of pure hell. Carry on with your frightened rantings. Hide yourself well so you won't be so scared.
No, pal is better than "pinhead" which Willy seems to enjoy calling those who disagree with him.
And sure, if a heart to heart talk means answering questions when they are out to you. I'll do the same with no problem. You say you can prove the ancient gods were not imaginary. If so, then you are world's first to do so. So i can't wait to see your proof.
I hope this isn't your idea of proof, because i can make the same statement about the Easter Bunny.
Simply a statement anyone can make about anything with nothing substantial in the entire paragraph. You get nowhere with such baseless statements. Try again.
In other words, logic, knowledge, common sense and, education are all lost on you. Why would anyone wish to be so ignorant to be favored by a god of any sort? So why do you hide while spreading the word? Is this what Jesus taught you to do?
As if you knew anything about knowledge, logic and reasoning, Wee Willy!
"There's a sucker born every minute."
P.T. Barnum
Oh No, please do brag, Willy! I do find it hard to believe anyone with your disability at spelling and reasoning would be honored at anything. I suppose some groups don't really care too much for literacy though. But please, if you are such a physics scholar, explain to Feelix how anti-matter can cause something to form from nothing. Any physics major should be able to do this and it eliminates a god as needed for the creation of the universe. Of course, you already knew this if you are what you claim to be. I'll be waiting for your concise explanation.
Yep, but most suckers are also ignorantly blinded by the "Powers That Be." Oh, my, don't we have a huge mesh of those... In all directions, of course.
Your username is quite precise.
See my last 2 posts. Your response will tell much about you, if you dare answer the questions.
No, you didn't explain why you hide your real name while attempting to spread god's word. Is this how Jesus told you to do it? Aren't you supposed to expose yourself to the sinners to show your faith in your god? Who wants to risk their soul on the words of an unknown stranger? And you haven't disproved or proved the existence of any of the ancient gods, including the one you anonymously vouch for. Not even close.
Liars for Jesus! Another one bites the dust. No different than any of the other religious trolls who show up here. I'm through with this guy. He knows even less than most.
