• 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?

    If the whole world were atheist...

    Really, saying something doesn't necessarily imply absolute fact unless you either state it's absolute fact or the person on the other end assumes absolute fact. 'Religion causes conflict' is not common sense in the way 'you have to breath in order not to die' is common sense. My entire family...

If you're concerned that my statement was based on absolute fact and thus I'm being a hypocrite, please...

    ... How do you know it's totally false? I'd like to see evidence for that. As you said, people feel they own religion and love it. But that's the same base instinct - owning, loving. We'd fight over owning and loving something else. Chairs. Houses. The moon. Water.

    There's no reason for there to be less war if there weren't religion. There would just be less of an excuse. Not that it's really an excuse, and I'm sure we'd come up with an alternative one. Wars stem from primitive instincts. Territorialism, the desire to fight/kill/hunt, to protect what you...
