Thats the problem. You need someone telling you what you can and can't do. You are not able to think for yourself. Right there makes an women that doesn't believe in this crap over 9000 times smarter than you.

So do you, only you choose not to listen to God's Word. It seems to me that you are the one with a problem, and you had better get it solved quick before Jesus comes back.

Upon request I will cite scripture for all these facts in God's Holy Word.

How about the moderators on here remove your post for inaccuracy just like they do over at wikipedia?
How about you tell serial killers that God works through their conscience. They will surely agree with you.

God works through your conscience IF you except Jesus as your savior and follow all of his good teachings, Simon. Otherwise that voice in your head is Satan and he's deceiving you into believing that he is God!

So, you're basically saying that you should not use your mind to make decisions, but rather you should blindly follow the Bible and let it make all your decisions for you? I disagree with that. The mind is the tool of human survival. We are not animals. We have no claws, no sharp teeth, only a wonderfully intelligent mind, capable of logic and reason. But you propose that we abandon our tool of survival and follow this book, blindly making decisions based off of it. How are we supposed to survive, if we leave behind the only tool that keeps ourselves alive?
Do you even know what survival is? Since this site seems to define good as "the avoidance of evil" you may define survival as "the avoidance of death." That is wrong. By that logic building is just the avoidance of destruction. Yet centuries of abstaining from destroying will not raise one building for you to avoid destroying, just as not dying does not mean that you are surviving. Survival is not the act of reproducing so that the species continues, which you might find as evil according to your book anyway. Survival is the act by which you are able to lead a productive, happy life. Productive because you can have a job and support yourself through free trade. Happy because you can follow your moral values, the moral values given to you by your mind, because it is your mind that allows you to survive.
Following your book, the Bible, will not bring you the great life that it tells you it will. Following that book will simply erase your mind, bit by bit, until the time comes that you are no longer able to make decisions based on your own judgement any longer. It looks like some of you are already at that point, and for you my post is useless, because you aren't reading it trying to understand it, but you are reading it trying to not understand, to use your non-mind to blank out my logic. I am appealing to those of you who are not at that point. Come back to your mind. Use your mind to make decisions, rather than the book you blindly follow.
Some background on myself: I was raised roman catholic, but my mind has been telling me otherwise my entire life.

Undecided,
I think you have failed to understand Pastor Billy-Reuben's point. He was not talking about survival. What he was getting at is to trust in the Bible more than your own empathy and conscience. He offered several examples of where his conscience and the Bible conflict.
For example, it "feels" genocide is wrong, to systematically murder men, women, and children because of their ethnicity....but it is actually okay in certain cases because God commands it. What Pastor-Billy Reuben is saying is to ignore those "feelings" (that is just the Devil trying to lead you astray) and put all your faith in the Bible.
This makes sense because the Word of God trumps our own conscience. Are you so arrogant to think that you know what is moral and what is not? God created morality and has set the rules. The Bible is a rulebook and for us to question those rules is a sin.

There is no difference. Your conscience is an extension of your mind, it is the section of your mind that asks "right or wrong?" before you commit an action. It is the section that says right or wrong after you commit an action, so that you may learn from it and in the future you can do the same, or differently. You are proposing to get rid of your conscience, to eliminate that part of your mind in exchange for your book. As I pointed out, the mind is the human's tool of survival, so how do you propose to survive after you eliminate the mind? Yes you may be alive, but are you really surviving? Are you happy? Seriously happy, not happy as in you're happy because you are following the Bible, and it says that if you follow it you will be happy. Are you productive? Do you wake up to every day thinking that you are going to destroy those who are uninformed, or do you wake up thinking that you will achieve a goal, a productive goal based on free trade. Not necessarily monetary trade, but a trade of goods, mind or ideas. If you violate either happiness or productivity, then you are not really surviving.

Yes he did, and he followed the Bible every time. That is what I am against. If your mind agrees with the Bible, then go ahead and follow it, not because it is the Bible, but because you agree with it. But follow your mind, do not blindly do what the Bible says. Above all follow the law of identity. A is A. You cannot blank out any part of reality.

No it is not ok. You should not kill people because God tells you to. You should never have to kill a person, but if you do then it should be because they use force against you first. That is the only valid reason to kill a person, according to my mind. You might say that your mind thinks differently, but I have to ask you, is your mind really thinking or is it blindly following a book?

So here you are saying that God trumps our conscience, which is the same as saying that God trumps our mind. If the mind is our tool of survival, then you are saying that God is trying to lead us to death. I do know what is moral, because I am able to depend on my objective mind, and I am proud of it. I accept reality and use logic, the tool of human survival, to decide what is moral. The fact that you have to cite the Bible shows the extent of the destruction of your mind.

Again, you ignore the existence of the immortal soul and of God altogether.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Dear Toilet Mouth;
Where did we claim that rape was "OK?"
All we are saying is that God wants us to obey His every word (not just some of them). Is that too much to ask?
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

If you need deep then here it is
Faith: a self reflection of ones own vanity. What cute little sin. People always act like they are going to slay the devil. Ever notice how when they think they have won that they celebrate with pride and vanity on thier tounge! A truimphant contradiction. I suppose this is why our father loves us, not to mention why it says that our father is Satan. Odd how they put that right in the bible!
