• 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?

    so, what, if the victim is gagged and can't say no it isn't rape? I believe the question was "do you find religion important in your life?" which is, really, a lot better an indicator than "are you religious, if so which religion".

    France is at around 30% and rising, UK about the same? Scandinavia has forgotten religion is even a problem in other places, everything that used to be the USSR is pretty high, the Czechs are crazy. But yes, Italy, Greece, Poland, et al. are still pretty religious (we aren't too bad. 25%ish?).

    Well, 3% identify as atheist. And yeah, for Europe, definitely more than 20%. Sure, we have our Turkeys and our Polands but then we have the Czech Republic where some surveys show religious affiliation as being under 20%.

    Try 3% in the US and at least 30% in Europe.

    Because the healing would happen even without religion.

    Huckabee's whole argument rested on the "traditional marriage" thing, Jon should've asked why he didn't support civil unions for samesex couples.

    How? Why the hell should something two complete strangers do affect you in the slightest? Why? It is no different from gender, race, religion, or any of multiple other categories we group people into. I could come up with any number of quotes saying the opposite. Yes, opinion is divided on...

    If California had banned interracial marriage, would you say the same thing? Especially when the Supreme Court had deemed the ban unconstitutional. Not when those values violate others' rights. This is complete bullshit. You are denying a group of people a right which they want to have. How...

    Stem cell research is a very promising field that looks like it could provide cures to many diseases, possibly including cancer. In the US, it has been banned for the last eight years on purely religious grounds.

    Religion

    But no, look, it actually promotes a reasonable standpoint: acknowledge the existence of magic if you have seen it at work. Obviously, this resolves to no one acknowledging its existence and making the second part of that rule moot, but still!

    I disagree. Look at how quickly society is changing; I think it's not too much of a stretch to envision one without religion. "support science" what does that even mean. also why are you capitalising atheist?

    Religion

    uh... so? "not having religious beliefs" is a fairly decent definition of atheism, although technically (here I go again) it is not entirely correct.

    I'm sure you'd prefer living in a cave... for no more than about thirty years.

    Religion

    But they're NOT blurred. Agnosticism and atheism are completely different and not knowing the difference makes you look like an idiot.

    Religion

    No, definitely not. Actually, you can't talk of an atheistic point of view because there is no shared atheistic point of view; that's what most atheists would tell you, though, I imagine. and, uh, nontheism is an umbrella term for anything that isn't theism, so the various flavours of atheism...

    Religion

    Er, no, not really. The atheistic point of view is generally "there is no evidence to support the theory of a god or gods, and as such it is safe to ignore the possibility of one existing", where as agnosticism is more "I am unsure if a god or gods exist, or whether this is even really relevant...

    Must intervene. It is now known whether Hitler still had religious beliefs at the time he rose to power, or at the outbreak of WWII. source
