• 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?

    My country is.... depends on whether you count people that are officially catholic but don't go to church anymore. 43.4% is nominally Christian. I however think that only 1.2% of catholics (26% total) actually attend mass on given Sundays. The same probably goes for protestants. So the actual...

    My mother is one of nine (one child died after three days though), my dad is one of six (one died after two weeks), my paternal grandmother was one of 12, my paternal grandfather is one of 14, my maternal grandfather was one of seven, and my maternal grandmother was an only child. My family are...

    Culturally is not ethnically. Culture means being raised, ethnic is by means of birth.

    I don't think any religion, except Judaism, is ethnic or has any ethnic component to it. Jews are also historically people with a culture.

    it is very traumatic for those people, yes, and the catholic church especially hates it. my parents are still catholics formally too, they cant be bothered to do it since its a hassle and my parents just effectively do not care

    I don't think you can formally renounce Judaism, you can just not practice it. I'll ask my girlfriend considering she's Jewish but doesn't believe in God afaik

    technically incorrect as Judaism is transmitted by birth -- however I think that's also Jewish ethnicity rather than religion

    Quite the contrary. The Big Bang is a matter of physics - something you could perfectly find a way to model mathematically somehow. By what we know about the Big Bang, having an expanding universe created from an infinite singularity of matter would be sensible considering at those circumstances...

    no scientific laws are never set in stone they are frequently even inaccurate models, they are theories - they change - BUT they explain observations adequately which is why we use them religion does no such thing even though science says god could exist, doesn't mean he does either what...

    science is not a belief scientific laws are pretty much set in stone because there is solid evidence to back it up religion steps on science's turf continually. NOMA is dumb

    We don't need different beliefs for the sake of having diversity, that's nonsense. We don't need to have ten colours of cars for the sake of having them either. We need beliefs that are correct, or, in case there are not enough facts, a theory that is supported by evidence. Make up as many of...

    Religion

    The fact that people worship something or believe something doesn't make it true. Many children believe in Santa Claus (or your local variety tale of gift-giving, such as Sinterklaas where I live) but that doesn't ensure the existence of Joulupukki.

    No, since this is obviously a New Testament tenet - and Judaism only has like the first five books of the Old Testament. So that is implied, of course. But yes, that is a great, great difference with Christianity who has Jesus as a central character. I agree, we should split all the Abrahamic...

    Religion

    Christianity is a descendant of Judaism - they share part of their holy books (most of the Old Testament is shared by both although I believe that the stories aren't written in exactly the same way...). You can barely classify them as being the same as the nature of their religion is very...

    Atheist. Also, Judaism is markedly different from Christianity and should be separate on the list. Also, Jewish religion differs from Jewish culture (i.e. I know people that consider themselves Jewish by ethnicity but are not religious).
