• 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...

    I'm not saying that religion isn't a reason used for racism, I'm saying that at its core racism isn't a religious construct but a societal and psychological one and as such it would be just as prevelant in an atheist world. No, they will be killing each other in the name of their countries and...

    If the whole world were atheist...

    I don't think one less excuse to fight would radically change human history as some people seem to be implying. We would just use another excuse to do the same sorts of things to each other and I imagine leaders would press nationalism as the reason rather than god. Changes in human society...

    If the whole world were atheist...

    There would be one thing people wouldn't fight about; "you don't believe in my god". Don't think the lack of belief in deities would make everyone follow the same creed, even among religions there are sects and even in an atheist world there would be different societies with different ways of...

    If the whole world were atheist...

    If everyone in the whole world were atheist, ultimately nothing would change except that relgious fervor would be replaced with nationalism, I think. For every standstill like the dark ages that religion created a similar standstill would be created in an atheist world by the inability to make...

    Life after Death?

    That's debatable and wasn't Dezzuu's point anyway. Dezzuu was explaining that belief in an afterlife stems from a fear of death, not that people who don't believe in one are especially brave. Although I suppose it could be argued that someone who is able to come to terms with their own eventual...

    Life after Death?

    I know you're not going to read this (probably) but I just want to say that I hate this. I hate the idea that all the positive emotions that humans feel have to come from a fantastical deity rather than ourselves and each other. It's completely unappreciative of ourselves and our fellow human...

    Life after Death?

    ... Um what? No seriously what? So the Bible said that the Earth is floating is space and it happened to be correct. So what? It doesn't prove God exists it just proves the Bible happened to be right this one time. The point Ruby was trying to make was that the religious won't assume, say, that...

    Life after Death?

    Both those quotes were posted a while ago and everyone's already posted their own views on them. Please elaborate on your own stances with acknowledgement of our newer posts instead of ignoring them.

    Life after Death?

    No, animals, hell all organisms great and small, serve a vital part in the maintenance of all the Earth's ecosystems and overall the stasis of the Earth itself, from the tiniest of microbes to the greatest of whales. Congratulations on trivialising the lives of every organism on the planet into...

    Life after Death?

    What? What does that even mean!? Are you saying that animals don't matter because they're entirely physical manifestations? Are you saying animals are like complex machines? What about the fact humans are animals? What about the fact animals can be just as emotive as humans? I think you're...

    Life after Death?

    I don't believe in an afterlife. I've seen no discernible reason to think souls exist and therefore little reason to believe in life after death or reincarnation. Xikaze pretty much summed up my feelings on death itself.

    Are people fundamentally good or not?

    But then what do you define as goodness? Being morally sound? Morals dart around all over the place among societies and individuals. Due to this it's impossible to say somebody's evil because it's very likely that they believe they're completely in the right. Abiding to laws? In this case...

    Homosexuality

    Does it really matter? Homosexuality doesn't really need to be proven any more natural considering it occurs in animals and in all honesty I never understand why the idea of homosexuality being a choice, a preference or affected by environment makes it not okay or not as important, especially...

    Seen it before but it's still fantastic.

    Scientists make monkeys glow, cure AIDS

    It's more of a general description and then it's turned sexual by context, much like how beautiful is a word that can be used to describe a person you think is attractive, or you could use it to describe a landscape (or something to that effect). I always thought that people used kawaii to mean...

    Golden Sun DS

    Confirmed at E3 for 2010. Not much really revealed other than the summons and someone who looks very much like Isaac running around a desolate looking land, but it's nice to know they're finally making it.

    Because living in a constant Cold War is an ideal situation for the world.

    I think not.

    Are people fundamentally good or not?

    People are fundamentally blank slates upon which behaviour and morality are formed.
