Just because there is a question from "1 me" does not give proof that you exist. Does that make me close-minded?

Not so much closed minded but (and don't be offended) ignorant to those things...and it iis no surprise..because ALL men are...the bible declares in Romans 3:11
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
It is what happened to man from the beginning...it is a seperation from God defined as death(spiritually)...God told them from the beginning the day they eat of the tree they would surely die...and they did...so much so that they didn't even know it...it was instant...at the same time their minds were open to sin(ful) things
WE could ALL say we know right from wrong ...what pleases God and what displeases him..based on experience...but it is not until we have a true relationship with him ..that we begin to truly understand spiritual things..God bless

I don't know. Do you believe everything that NASA tells the public? Do you believe everything that the News tells the public? Do you believe everything that Scientists tell the public? What about Piltdown Man? Do you only believe what you can sense or measure yourself? When do you take somebody elses word for a "fact"?
You could be closed minded, rational or just trolling depending upon your "reality".

Nope. It's believing that others shouldn't that makes one a bigot though.
Believe or not, as you wish, but don't belittle others for believing differently from you.
You have my respect for seeking reason. Please respect my desire for something more. I have read respected scientists and researchers who have some evidence for reincarnation, and happen to take them at their word. There is good science and bad science in all fields, but I'm trying to keep an open mind in this area, though as one Christian put it... not so open that my brains fall out.

Ask the old testament saints:
Hbr 11:13 ¶ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

No. But if you tried to say that others shouldn't believe in them either, THAT would make you closed minded.

Okay...a blind person has never seen a sunset but he knows its there. A deaf person has never heard speech but he knows its real. Do you ever question the unseen?

Close minded would be refusing to try to see it from the theists viewpoint, not disagreeing with them about it.

Not anymore than those that do believe in them. They never wonder "What if I'm wrong?".

Love exists, and cannot be measured or explained logically.
