• 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?

    Theism, Religion and Lack thereof

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! i didn't see that last paragraph; i guess you edited it in in response to me. i have never heard of these Bible archaeologists, i guess? i have never been convinced by anyone telling me that the Bible is a history book because they generally seem to talk...

    Everyone's racist

    okay. i'm proposing that these different dispositions to races is an evolutionary trait, though i don't know if this is accurate at all and i'm probably just talking myself into a grave right now. none of your examples seem to really fit this proposal. i guess i should go and research this...

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! well, first i'd like to say: it's literature. of course everyone's interpretation is going to be different. i can't say for sure how the Bible was meant to be taken, considering (iirc) the Bible was written by multiple authors over a long, long stretch...

    Everyone's racist

    well we're talking about a psychological and social disposition, rather than drinking milk or something, so i think it is more likely than those given scenarios. after all i believe it is built into us :|a

    Everyone's racist

    i don't follow, could you explain what is wrong with it? edit: except maybe point four (and for the record i don't think any of those lines could be taken to the same conclusion in a very reasonable manner :P)

    Everyone's racist

    i'm not telling it that it's racist, because i will accept that it knows what it's saying (even though i may be skeptical). i'm saying that its belief that not everyone is racist holds about as much water as my belief that most people are racist, because we're basing this on personal experience.

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! you're taking the Bible as literal again and missing the point. sorry, i don't really understand what you're talking about. why does it matter? why would you want to deconvert someone? that's exactly what so many people find obnoxious and annoying...

    Everyone's racist

    well, my reasoning is as follows: 1) i am racist. 2) there is no exemplary reason for me to be racist outside of being raised in a mostly white environment during early childhood. 3) it seems to be common that many people are raised in a mostly racially homogenous environment during early...

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! "God Himself is essentially the abstract concept of love." (but intelligent) that's what i said. and as for the other one, you can't.

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! are you asking Pwnemon specifically? one of those questions i conjectured/flailed about in a previous post (so i hope that doesn't mean that you didn't read it) and the other one seems fairly obvious to me especially coming from an atheist. how so?

    Everyone's racist

    well, sorry, i've had too much coffee. what i'm trying to say is that your claim holds about as much water as mine does, so i don't understand why you're criticising me and saying "that's just false" when you have just about as much of an idea as i do about it. i found it silly. and also you...

    Theism, Religion and Lack thereof

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! unfortunately i think it is self-evident from the creation story itself that it's false; the order in which things are created is the biggest problem. if you allow that the order would be different as well, then i suppose your hypothesis wouldn't be too...

    what you're doing there is making the inverse generalization.

    Everyone's racist

    rather, you think it's false, and i think it's true. there lies an important distinction.

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! i don't interpret it as being guilty of sin but rather being all too well capable of it.
