Science has disproven EVERY miracle in the bible MULTIPLE times. Your denial of that fact does little more than solidify your position as a wacko.

You know what. Someone new joins SBLive and not one day later, Brain is already calling them names.

Just curious BrainSmashR. From what I've read, I believe you said you were a confirmed catholic or something to that affect. Should this leave us to believe, that at some point, you DID BELIEVE ?

And if so, at one point did you Stop believing or lose ALL faith ?

Maybe I shouldn't step into the spotlight with this kind of position, but here goes.

If I'm understanding him right, Brain has willfully admitted that his belief system is based on physical science only, which is a position that many people share the world over, though not by myself. There is no shortage of people right here in America who will say, "Show me God and then I'll believe." Not all such people are as adamant in convincing others the same as Brain here. However, we cannot judge him by his faith as this is where his heart leads him. His faith is different, but not necessarily evil.

As for the rest of us, many are religious by family, choice, and/or tradition. This is our faith and our choice. Faith is about believing what you want to believe, what you need to believe, and believing what is in your heart. He who doesn't follow his heart is the one who is truly lost.

This topic has, by far, run its course. The mud-slinging and religious flaming has gone quite far enough. We are all entitled to our opinions and we have our rights to express them. If you trully cannot stand to read the opinions of other members, then place them on your ignore list. This is far more respectable than replying to them to tear them down.

Brainsmashr, I sincerely have a question for you.

What do you read that has given you these ideas? What reference material do you lean on such much for your beliefs? Why are you so "mean" to people in your responses? Does that make you feel good?

Ahhh yes, but it typical Christian fashion, her comments towards ME were perfectly acceptable, right?

Try to get this simple concept through your heads, people. Becoming confirmed is a process, belief is not a requirement. Just like getting a PhD earns one the title of Dr. That doesn't mean they can write you that oooooh so needed prescription of Xanax, Zoloft, Ritilen, or whatever else it is that keeps you pro-suicide people from pulling the plug everyday...

You can not use faith and BSr in the same statement
 

If it is not on google or yahoo he does not accept it. Blind man could see the truth better than Mr. Mullet. Maybe a trip to the Oracal would help free his tiny little mind.

1. My responses are on par with the question. Notice how nice this one is...
2. I read LOT'S of things...what is your belief based on other than the Bible?

Likewise, apparently you don't believe anything that IS readily available and verifiable.

That's called denial and a trip to Egypt won't cure your desire to remain ignorant throughout your entire life.

Is Christianity In Trouble? NO and I don't see it going away.

Nor do I. It is as valid as any other faith. Even if it doesn't please Isaac to say, a faith solely in science, though not for everybody, is also valid.

Well I have to go out now and enjoy some of this wonderfully warm weather we've been having while you guys, in typical Christian fashion (note the previous list you're all scared of) think of more way to attack my person instead of ways to prove the existence of your God to someone who is ready and willing to believe....all I'm asking you for is undeniable proof. Should be easy for an omnipotent being, right?:laugh: :laugh:

Notice how Brain didnt continue to pursue his argument that "man is superior to mother nature" once he realized his position was untenable? If only that were his reaction to every debate he loses.

You are really winning them over.

That, unfortunately, is something we are all left to discover for ourselves. I know what Brain wants to hear and I'm not afraid to say that I have never seen God with my own two eyes. I have never seen a door open to Heaven itself before me to see any splendorous world beyond. However, the trick to acknowledging the existance of the Divine is to ponder how life became as developed as it is today. How did the world become to magnificant and grand? Was it evolution or was there an intelligent being engineering it from the start? Who knows? You have your life to discover that for yourself. If you are truly meant to have faith, He will come to you with your answer.

It is raining outside.

It's not raining here. I'm on the Bossier side and it's fairly pleasant.

You said:
“I'm going through something highly emotional, life altering, and devastating, like losing a girlfriend AND being the prime suspect in her murder. That's why I have no use for Isabelle"

“I am” is not past tense, it is present tense. Everything that you said was in the present tense.


Although I am willing to take your bait, I am not willing to take your hook.


You said “losing a girlfriend AND being the prime suspect in her murder”. How can you accuse me of jumping to conclusion or making wild accusations? I merely responded to what you said. However I am not surprised by the response I received. Saying you were speaking in past tense was a lie in terms of grammar. You did not say “I was going through something”, nor did you say “AND being a prime suspect in her murder, once upon a time”. If I was in law enforcement, I would wonder about you just on that post alone. You demonstrate certain abilities to twist the truth? Why? Surely you are not so ignorant to think that "I am" is past tense.

I'm tellin ya, this Brain character is out to lunch. His posts are chock full of contradictions and doubletalk, which is amusing in small doses, but its startin to wear thin.

By the way, does anyone have any further info on Brain's alleged involvement in a murder? Inquiring minds and all that.

Uh....I'm not too sure I want to know that. That may not be suitable for public conversation. O_o;;

I agree. I have lost track of BrainSmashr. Is he Atheist? Christian? Agnostic? Catholic? Gnostic? Pagan? or Radhasoami? or an alleged suspected murderer? Please clarify......

Who ever said that creation and evolution were mutually exclusive any more than science and religion are mustually exclusive? BrainSmashr you miss the entire point of The Miracle. God created the heaven and the earth and everything in between. Many of us celebrate that fact. And I say "fact" with the utmost certainty and faith. I don't pity you, but I do feel bad that you do not rejoice in knowing that you are a child of the living God. Speaking for myself, I could not be more lucky if I won Powerball and MegaMillions on the same day. A lottery winner could drop dead the very next day of a heart attack and not enjoy a fraction of the monetary winnings. but if you accept the grace of God, a true gift if imaginable proportions, totally FREE, then nobody and I mean nobody can take that away from you. Just something to think about.

Brainsmashr,

Zeolot as I have been called, I have not been to church in quite some time. Last week it was because of the lost hour of daylights savings time. The week before that, I had something to do. The week before that, I worked too hard and needed rest and slept in. The week before that, I was busy posting on the Internet. The week before that, well I forget.. you get my point.

You have awoken me Brainsmashr. You really got me thinking for the first time in a long time. I'm all rapped up being a father, a businessman, husband, and I fall into a rut sometimes. I have grown spiritually thin. But now it is Spring! Time for awakening! So I plan on going to church service this week or next. Thank you for the inspiration. Few things could have gotten my attention like you have here recently on this board. A reverse change of fortune that I did not expect. I feel like dropping to my knees and thanking God for creating the earth, and grass, and flowers, and trees, and Pugs and Me! Heh, I could have been a Pug blowing snot! But I am a Man created in His image praying for those in need. I should celebrate Lent and Easter but I'm a slacker. Nonetheless, it sure is good to have that choice to accept his forgiveness, grace and salvation verses giving Him the finger. You could have it too! Even after giving us both the finger! Trust me, I have nothing to do with it. But shoot the messenger if you need to work that sh!t out. I understand. I've never been an alleged murderer (in either past or present tense) but I have felt the sting of being earthbound, as most of us have at one time or another. It can suk at times. But then I remember and look up!

I've been counting my blessings, too, lately. Theres so much to be thankful for, I dont know where to start. I'm a slacker too, Rhertz. I rarely make time for church, what with my hectic schedule. Everytime I drive past my church I find that I keenly feel THAT deficiency. But I DO find time for prayer during the workweek. Its a source of comfort thats never failed me yet.

I've caught myself losing patience with this "Brain" character. Its hard NOT to blast the guy when his posts dont make a damn bit of sense. But I think I'm gonna delete some of my less-than-charitable comments about him. Whatever else is wrong in this guy's life, his obvious problems are considerable, if not insurmountable. Good luck to ya, "Brain"...youre gonna need it!

Al don't bother.

God created all men
 

It would seem a great thing has happened here folks. This Brain boy has kind of forced each one of us to rethink what it is we believe. Then when each one of you that post your thoughts we can see where you stand on this issue and more important you can see where you stand. Yes folks the Brain has served as Satan's advocate and now we all have been fire tested to some degree and we have even stronger faith in what it is we believe because we all have had to put our foot down and stand on it. This is a test only a test for it is written in the great book of Revelation that in the end of this dispensation we that are here on earth will all be called upon to take a stand pro or con and that is why Luke warm is not good. Think you all get a "A" in my book for holding the line and I am sure God The Eternal One did not miss a click and BSr has served as a goad to you fine Christians and for the pagan there is the millennium and that of coarse is 1000 years to be saved not by faith as in this age but by works only so there is still much hope for the unsaved who ever they might be that they can get there eternal soul and leave the state of being in a mortal (liable to die) soul for the eternity.
God Bless you all and I will see you here on the board. Do not think sitting in a church building will save your soul or any preacher but read your Bible while you are alone so you can meditate on the Word and pray to your Father and the truth will come to each one of us. Now as for Brain as much fun as it is to not like him I think we should all pray for Gods Will to be done in his life and that is something that he to will have to deal with and if Gods Will is good for him then let it be good and if its not good for him he will continue being cold and the Bible says that is better than Luke warm. Only God our Father is judge. :clap: :clap: Judgment for Christians is rewards so happy is the man that seeks the face of God. God wants what you want from your children for we are Gods children and that is two things. Thank you Father and I love you Father. Can not buy those words from anybody it must come from the heart.
Isaac

My hats off to all of you...
 

for using this experience with the Brainsmashr to learn from. I've only read this board for 48 hours but in that 48 hours learned so much from you all. There will come trials much like this with non believers where we will have to firmly stand our ground for our beliefs. I am so thankful that we all managed to do it and did it (most of the time) with a Christian spirit. I learned from you a all much in the way to deal with hard headed, non believers like him. It's not often you encounter someone quite like him. I can only think of one or two others in my life I've ever met who were so hardened.

One way I have found to worship and find my quiet time with God is in my car. We all have time in vehicles every day. I love the station 89.1 and the worship music they play. I like to have that playing and use that time for prayer and worship. God is delighted each and everytime we give him praise, even if it's in your car!!!!!!And the thing about listening to that music station in my car or office is that mom always told me you are a product of what you put in your body. So I feel like by putting wonderful praise music in my ears and surrounding myself with it, I am putting on my "coat of armor". Good luck to you all. It's been very nice to learn from you and I hope to continue to learn from you (except Brainsmashr-I hope I can be a positive influence on you!).

Welcome aboard Texasbelle
 

You got baptized with fire on your first post but that is not what most of these nice people are about. I hope you stay on the board and keep posting we sure could use another female on the board. Love the avatar !

Quote of the day from Smashed Brains
 

I'm not sure what Brainsmash is, full of hot air, full of hate, or just full.....
After a quick review of brainsmash advertised web site I just happened to see ignorance and hate shine. It shows a lack of compassion, morals, intelligence.


"So I stop at the store last night to pick up some beer and I'm totally PISSED to find out, that once again, they allowed some bluegum to buy 1 beer out of a 6-pak, and of course, it's the LAST dark Heineken 6-pack. So I decided to try some Grolsch, and was pleasently surprised.

It kind of had a Green Heineken taste, but not nearly as bitter and no skunky after taste either. Given a choice, I'd pick Grolsh over Green Heine's from now own....but that's not the best part. When I got to the counter, the register rang up the 6-pack of Grolsh at $1.40, and she didn't even blink an eye!!

Man, those were the best 25 cent beers I've EVER had!!! "

Wait, I don't want to read too far into this one- so maybe you can tell me what a bluegum is.:nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:


I think this could classified as sick and wrong!:eek:

What say you Bubba McMillian ???
 

You are like big brother always watching but never posting ? Give us some good words for today Bubba :eek:

:peace: I just like to watch, look, listen and learn.

I am going to take a shot at this because I have seen him use this term on another forum and I am "guessing" it's someone that is old and wears false teeth? Only because I know the person he is telling this to and her age, he calls her bluegum but Brain, correct me if I am wrong.

Brain is MIA so let me give you a hint
 

It could be used as a racial slur :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
:eek: :eek:

I believe what I believe. I don't care what you believe.

I know what a bluegum is and I 2 can never figure out why they take one out of the last 6pk and leave. At the same time I can't believe they would pick a Heineken over an Old English 800.
Lucky for you they did so cause a buck forty is a good deal even if it is beer.

according to the "urban dictionary" :


can't say I've ever heard that myself.

not to change the subject too much but speaking of bluegums.
I walked to the store on the corner a few minutes ago with my two gal gas can to get some gas for the lawnmower. I filled up the can which cost $5.15. I get inside and the girl at the counter says, " did you just get $21.57 in gas?" To which I replied, I have a two gallon gas can, I walked up here and I know gas is expensive but there is no way I got that much gas. She shook her head and was really confused. She gave me my change which too her a little while to figure out. I gave her 6 dollars. Change is 85 cents. dah! I get my gas can walk back to the gas pump to see what the hell she was talking about. She don't know the difference between 2.156 gallons and $5.15 cost.
Now for what I believe.

I believe we are in a world of hurt and the future looks bleak if we don't do soemthing. I don't care if you believe in God or evolution but something is wrong somewhere. Maybe, just maybe God created monkey and they were so stupid he had to give them a little help. MAN!. somewhere along the line we are converting back to simple primates.

I feel a disturbance in the Force
 

Is Darth back in sheeps clothing ? I think the ghost of the Smasher is lurking among us :eek: :eek:
Isaac

So "bluegum" is a racial slur. Cant say Im too surprised. Brain came pretty close to making a dumb ass racial remark about either the fact that my ex was of a different race or that my children are mixed. The guys a real ****heel.

Al consider the source
 

He will attack anything that post. I am sure you have a very nice Christian family and this poor guy is in love with himself. From the post I would say that Christianity is not in trouble. The fact is there are more Christians than people could ever know that do not go to church but do talk to their maker and God loves all his children. And after HE was finished HE looked as His creation all of it and said this is good. Each person has a soul no matter the race or color or genetic make up. There are people in all races that do not live up to a decent standard and they are the ones that give the good people a bad name.
Isaac

Did ya'll scare him off?
 

Braindead hasn't been around here all day. Did he get tired of us because he finally got the picture? Probably not. Or could it be his alleged crime caught up with him today?

Right! When God said that we must honor and respect our neighbors, He wasn't just referring to people who live geographically next to us. He meant people of neighboring races, countries, classes, religions, cultures, and every other possible meaning of the word.
