Draconity.org is a shell of it's former self, there's a history behind it...
after the moderators started power tripping (not to mention I found out Selroth really doesn't identify with kinship) a lot of kin started dividing between scientology and spiritualism...
some became furries, others just gave up "being dragon" while some of us much like Rakul, Akhor, myself and a few others want to rebuild the draconic feeling with heart and soul in mind because we knew from the internal heart being dragon is a lot of things and it's a deep, spiritual experience
You act like all that's news. I've known about the Scientology part pretty much ever since I got involved in the Otherkin community back in 2009, and I found out from others who've been part of the Otherkin community for a lot longer than I have. Also, Selroth's non-Kin way of thinking is no secret, he's openly said as much numerous times. Should he be excommunicated from the Kin community because he doesn't believe he's a dragon anymore?
And why is being a furry so terrible? Just because it's a fandom and there's lots of porn in the furry community does not automatically make it less spiritual. Some people experience their spirituality through porn and other sexual expression. You act as if there's only one true way to experience or express one's spirituality. Well, as a goddess incarnate I'm here to disagree with you. You don't think my way, I don't think Selroth's way, Selroth doesn't think your way. That's how it is, and there's nothing inherently wrong with it.
Finally, you need to understand that even though the word "Science" is the root word in both cases, that what most of the more outspoken Dragonkin are into isn't Scientology, it's Scientism. Scientology is a fake religion created by L. Ron Hubbard that centers around an alien "god" named Xenu. Scientism, on the other hand, is where people think that the Scientific Method is the only means of finding out what is and isn't real, and that everything else is fake because it isn't science. Scientism is what the most vocally "pro-science" Dragonkin are into, not Scientology.
By the way, the Dragonkin who are into Scientism are actually not pro-science. Science is a method, but scientism treats that method like a god. Scientism is a religion that worships science. Science itself doesn't claim godhood or that it's worthy of worship, and in fact it never says anything about souls or spirits or anything else along those lines, because science doesn't have the necessary tools or knowledge to deal with those things.
However, with all that said, the biggest problem in the Otherkin community as of right now is not science, scientism, scientology, the furry fandom, or spirituality, it's the whole "us vs. them" thing we've got going. We don't all have to be the same to get along, we just have to stop trying to convert each other to our way of thinking. Just because my way works for me doesn't mean it will automatically work for everybody else. The same goes for your beliefs, or Selroth's beliefs, or anyone else's beliefs. The absolute best thing anyone can do is to stop acting like anyone else who isn't exactly like us is out to get us. You can't read my mind, I can't read Sel's mind, and I'll be goddamned if I'm going to sit here and pretend like I can. We're just going to have to accept that people are the way they are and stop trying to make them into carbon copies of ourselves. If we're not willing to back off and let others be what they are, then we are the problem, not them.
