Two branes collided, and created out brane universe. A ten dimensional universe broke apart into a 6 dimensional universe and a four dimensional universe. Quantum physics. There, you have several answers. You know nothing about science so you automatically go to God.

So thou shalt not kill isn't a good guideline for humanity, to respect thy neighbour, to respect creation, how are those not good rules.


Because the Bible is anything but ''though shalt not kill''. Like I said, one sentence from a Jainist prophet is able to be more moral than the entirety of the 10 Commandments and the Bible.
“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.”

Well, CM the thing is that it was cute at first. I could stand it.

Now it's just gotten old. I have no problems with people calling it that, but starting a thread entitled Zombie Jesus thread is unoriginal and not really that funny anymore. I'd prefer just a "Happy Easter" thread myself.

"Thou shalt not kill" was broken throughout the whole damn Bible. Jainism and Buddhism hold true to that belief several times better than Christianity. Why should you respect your neighbor for no reason? "Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone" is how it's been for a long time. What "creation" are we respecting?

We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

The Big Bang started, I believe, for 1 of 2 reasons.

1. The previous universes collapse
2. Due to there being no laws of physics or matter before our universe if there was no previous universe, there is no reason the Big Bang coulden't simply happen because it wanted to.

Proof god started the big bang?

No one, those branes were caused by the same reaction. Seriously, this is common sense. :palm:

I find Easter to be far less original. Zombie Jesus Day has been around for maybe a decade or two, but Easter? Almost two thousand years now. Unbearably trite at this point. :p

Personally, I'm going to stay up 'till four A.M., sleep in 'till one so that my parents can't force me to their church thing - it's not Christian but it's still some pseudo-religious thing - then walk to Copps and buy eight pounds of chocolate eggs. Then I'm going to come home and blow someone's head off in Team Fortress 2, only for them to return to life. Hey! The Heavy must be Jesus! It's the Second Coming!

Jain monks don't eat carrots. Know why? Because they have roots, therefore you would be killing the carrot. THAT'S how much they respect life. I'd say that defeats anything Jesus ever taught.
