• 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?

    I live in a Buckle of the Bible Belt. No, really. "Lubbock, Texas, which is said to have more churches per capita than anywhere else in the nation" Born and raised. In Texas I think it's like 25% Catholic, 50% Christian (other than Catholic) and then everything else is dumped in the last 25%...

    ... how did you even deduce that from my post? you seem to be grasping at straws.

    first, we need to define "deity". beyond that, they exist in the mind - and that is more than enough for many people. concepts have power.

    stepping back a page, the big bang is probably the most accurate model for the beginning of the universe that we have today. I don't think anyone has said that it is flawless. I'm sort of at the same point, however, so I suppose I'm missing something - we don't have an explanation for how it...

    if religion originated in order to explain our existence and our surroundings, why would you try to cling onto these beliefs when we now have science to explain everything accurately? what upsets me the most isn't the fact that you're being intellectually dishonest with yourself, it's the fact...

    reverence for nature is fine. I understand that. I will continue to wonder why you hold these beliefs especially when you admit that they are "outside of human comprehension" and I will certainly disagree with you, but I have little intention to insult you.

    I'm well aware of the history of nature worship (and I am sort of hurt that you actually had to say that). I am also well aware that there is a large number of new age lunatics who are "worshiping" nature for many silly reasons, as of late, in civilized societies, when I really think we have...

    well yeah but I mean you know taboo language in general. Zim: you sound sort of like an apatheist. sure. but there's no reason to believe that the earth (or "nature", this odd deity that so many people are worshiping now) has any supernatural means of doing this, especially by recycling...

    I don't see valid points at all, I just see it as wishful thinking. as for "swearing", as far as I can tell the Bible doesn't address what we see as "cursing" (e.g., fuck, shit, damn). it mentions that cursing people, rather than praising people, is a sin (I think) but it is my opinion that if...

    if people actually read the Bible, most Christians would realize that saying "oh my God" is not taking the Lord's name in vain. "God damn you", perhaps, but "oh my God"? no. and I'm tired of hearing people telling me to stop "taking the Lord's name in vain" while they sin behind His back every...

    i was raised a baptist christian, "converted" to paganism when i was around twelve, became agnostic around fourteen, and started to identify as atheist around fifteen/sixteen. i am probably closer to apatheism now, as it is, but ... yes. sometimes delusional beliefs pop up in my head every once...
