• 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

    Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." seems to cut it. If not, 2 Corinthians 13:14 "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with...

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    I'm very sorry; it won't happen again. I can't speak for them, sorry. But I can answer with John 10:30 ("I and my Father are one") and this link: http://www.evidencetobelieve.net/the_holy_trinity.htm (scroll most of the way down or search for "The Early Church") Sorry. Yes. But let's face it...

    A possible foreshadowing, perhaps?

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    I'm going to withdraw out of this (I've changed my attitude) because Phantom made a very good point in his second post. Please note though: The two stories of creation are compatible if you look at the second in non-chronological order; I don't smoke; the Bible does tell a mostly-consistent...

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    Meh, it's quite unclear, I agree. Looking at different translations, how I'd interpret it is as such: "5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground. 6 So the LORD God made...

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    Notice the pluperfect tense used in chapter 2: "19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky." (If this is the passage you're referring to) Well, even though I personally spurn it, it tries to explain of the nature of God, of Jesus, of...

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    Not believing in God doesn't mean that this person has to call those who do - not their ideas - "mental". I did not call you fundamentalist. Besides, isn't it just fine and dandy to rely on such scientific discoveries, even if they are just theories, as what I read of your article claims? I...

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    Not any specific religion, but a religion, which would explain this better than what other explanations I could find (of course, if MD's link is true, then this case is closed). The poor reading comprehension of whoever made that list astounds. If there's some you'd like me to explain, I can...

    Sorry, but I'll just butt in for a moment Science is a method and a way of thought. It is a collection of observations and explanations. I don't know why it's being used here as some sort of a magical glittering generality. It also does take certain (very small) amounts of faith to believe...

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    I got baptized just a few months ago. There was a lot of pressure involved in that decision from many parties, and in the end, I was convinced. I was happy for a few weeks until I had doubts. I still attend church every week, and even if I had a choice, I would, just to hear their view on...
