• 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?

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! Sure why not, I guess. The current topic (the flood) has kind of been covered in the religion thread two or three times already but whatever

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! You can, but so can everybody. There are plenty of alcoholics and adulterers and etc. that also claim to be Christian, say grace at dinner, go to church (hi2u my redneck side of the family). It's practically irrelevant whether you're religious or not as...

    Re: STUPID, BIGOTED EVANGELICAL FATHER! Yeah. :\ Anyway. I still haven't come out as an atheist to anyone offline except for my closest friends who I know won't judge me for it. This is because I have no balls, and if I told my parents, they'd try to have some kind of "intervention" for me...

    Hm. That would explain a great deal of them, I guess. Dunno why I hadn't thought of that. So I guess the ones that are silence up until the EVP portion are just made for TV or something, otherwise I'd still be wondering where that noise came from, even if it's not a ghost voice or whatever. I'd...

    This. I'll concede that Eloi has a good head on her shoulders. My main problem with theism is that it's often used to condone violence and intolerance, and not so much whether it's accurate or not. I'm all for people believing what they want as long as it's not imposed upon people who aren't...

    Re: Christianity twitch I leave for a week and this happens >:T Even though like every mod is aware of the existence of this thread and hasn't done anything about it I'm merging it with the other one just because I'm kind of anal like that. Especially since it's kind of derailed into religion...

    Mostly because people attribute that god with either being all-powerful and capable of everything and knowing everything (when he would either be one of those or none of those, plus a dick) and/or adding some arbitrary and archaic rules that he supposedly gave us and ruining other peoples' lives...

    The main reason I have for thinking the story of Noah's Ark is bunk is basically that whole Gilgamesh flood story that was written much earlier and is pretty much the same. That article is actually in defense of the Noah version, but it doesn't give any reason to not think that it's a modified...

    Slowpoke response! but I know that is true most of the time, but the reason I keep trying is that I was gotten through to. You remember what I like when I was 12, don't you? Vixie was sniffing around the old old forums and showed me one of my old posts, asking if it was me. I was disgusting...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread Just wanted to make sure this part was clear. Improbable isn't the same thing as impossible. I'mma link you to another video that illustrates this point really well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOkFErxebgE (I'm not a very eloquent person so I'm...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread I don't think anyone here is guilty of it but my school is full of super-theists (when they feel like being that way, anyway!) who are all like "Well you should believe in god! I mean, you can't prove he doesn't exist!" but I think their first move should...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread Well, you can't. That's the thing. And you can't really prove a god doesn't exist, even though you can pretty well debunk the Christian god specifically (and most others I would imagine, since they're even older and less relevant to today). This thread...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread Hm. I'll have to sit on that one. I know of an answer to that one but I'm not sure how to put it at the moment. Here is a relevant video for when both of us have the time: http://blip.tv/file/3825518 (yeah I keep linking to this guy but sometimes he just...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread Is misfortune linked to evil and fortune linked to good, I gather? You can still have variety in life without having to have evil in it. Why does there have to be a good and an evil that a god introduced for us? Are people only comfortable if they have a...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread I expanded on it because I didn't realize you'd posted after me, if you want to refresh. x_x I should start thinking harder about what I want to say before I hit that post button instead of adding in afterthoughts...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread Hm... why would he give us free will but punish us if we make the wrong decision, though? Especially if he left those evils for us to have the opportunity to choose? If he wanted a certain result from us he could easily get it. To me this goes back to his...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread I know that, I just really like asking things just to hear what people say. I obviously have my own answer and everyone probably knows what it is already (feel free to ask if you don't). ... I was going to say "if god killed Adam and Eve there would be...

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread That's one I haven't heard. It's interesting, but... Why did god decide to not just fix their children so the punishment stopped with their parents? Was he not able?

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread Hypothetically, the same way a soul is made when a sperm fertilizes an egg, I'd think... Only it's some kind of asexual reproduction thing? Or maybe god just manually gave her one. Hypothetically.

    Re: The to-be short lived theism thread So god just lets those poor children go on being screwed because they don't know about Jesus, then? Is being told about Jesus supposed to magically help? What about the times when it doesn't? I don't think it will magically cure the AIDS they were allowed...
