Do You Believe In Dragons?

[Midnight Pete]

The Chinese legends about their spiritual and elemental dragons are deeply embedded into their culture, and many of these legends used to be religious narratives.

So again, what, exactly, is the difference?

I don't know, exactly. That is a very good question .

I see all non-substantiated non-evidence based beliefs as being on exactly the same level and footing. I see no cognitive reason to differentiate between believing in a god and believing in faeries, dragons or homoeopathy.

Because none of these arguments...

Existence of God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

... apply to anything but a god. I mean, I think that in every one of those arguments, some of them just flat out fallacious, god's existence loses. But whichever side you take, you are going to find a response to any problem with any of them from either side, regardless of how flawed or silly they are.

But apparently you do believe in a god.
Why a god but not dragons?

 

[Nerthus]

I like how people say that they don't believe in them, because they haven't seen a dragon or there is no real evidence of their existence, but yet insist there is a God in other threads when the exact same could be said about that.

I believe in God and dragons, but no one has cared to discuss that...

Dragons.

Dragons.

They are cool, but make lousy pets.

Have you seen 'How to train your dragon'?

No, but I saw "Pete the Magic Dragon."

This whole thing about keeping pet dragons does not compliment my beliefs or experience. There may be some domesticated dragons out there, but I think that these non-authoritative accounts are a popular way of exonerating the dragon from its typical violent nature.

I did! I gave you praise for being consistent.

I agree.

There was a programme on the other night about a guy who had a bear and a tiger in his back garden. It's not fair.

That usually doesn't work out very well.

 

[Antibush5]

Do I believe in dragons? Well I believe that dragons are a inner-resprisentation of our inner-conflict Take that!

... and then moved on. :sad:

Well, the bear killed his cousin.
