• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    If you don't believe in logic, then the only answer I need to give you is "boom-chicka-wow-wow". Besides, if you don't think we can rely on logic to reach conclusions, why are you even trying to justify your way of thinking using logic? The phrase "for this reason" kind of implies you're trying...

    No, it's the Catholic church alright. Here, take a look at this pamphlet. I got one exactly like this in the mail when I turned 18 (but in Swedish, of course). Specifically, note the "Can I renounce my membership of the Church?" part. That's basically what I did. Funny how that doesn't seem to...

    Wait, is there something I'm missing here? I never had any trouble leaving the Catholic Church, as far as I know. I just filled in some papers and presto, no more church tax. Is this yet another one of those things where the US and Scandinavia are super-different for seemingly no reason, or are...

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    It's really annoying when people put forward arguments they have no intention of sticking around to defend. If you're going to "withdraw", just do it, without the "please note though"; if you're not going to continue the discussion, then the unreadable block of text in the middle of your post is...

    I never called it magical; I called it "based on logic, fact, evidence, real things that happen all around you all the time", which is quite the opposite. How so? ... What historical evidence are you referring to, and how reliable is it? There could be any number of reasons, all of which are...

    Most schools also teach you history and religion, whether you like it or not. You can deny gravity or the Holocaust all you like, but there are two reasons why you should definitely learn about these things in school: firstly, there's an overwhelming amount of evidence to suggest that they're...

    I was joking. No, you can't. How exactly would you do that? Of course we can't disprove it, but we shouldn't have to. Burden of proof and all that jazz. There's no way to disprove the existence of God, or of leprechauns, or of Santa Claus, but that doesn't mean it makes sense to believe in any...

    Well there you go, there's obviously nothing there. No, not really. Theism, by definition, has to involve something supernatural (or divine, or whatever you want to call it).

    Isn't the complete lack of evidence a good enough argument?

    You don't need an argument against theism, you just need the lack of arguments for it.

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    I don't understand. You won't believe that the universe had no cause because it violates everything you know about the natural, but you don't mind believing in an Architect who is explicitly supernatural? I'd like to remind you that intuition is not always reliable. Time dilation is...
