TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I wouldn't say desperately unhappy. Some monkies discovered Endorphines
In Soviet Russia, sins died for Jesus.

Before the big bang there was nothing.  Nothing in it's truest sense: NO THING.  Not even empty space.  Empty space is, by definition, something.  Now there is a lot of something, but that something is filled with mostly nothing.

Please forgive me if I am repeating what someone else already said, I only read the last page of this thread recently.

In the beginning there was nothing

And then that nothing EXPLODED.

The poor thing ... Who wouldn't be pissed if they were exploded? Explains the agony

As far as I'm aware, I'm a Russian experiment

Yeah, it's working, I drool whenever I read your posts.

I see.

Since you consider the nothingness as a something (i.e. "Space" the place or whatever,) then this argument does not make sense to you. Whereas I consider the blank empty spots as empty nothingness, the oposite of a thing. So, it just comes down to how you look at it.  :mrgreen:

As for 2, see, I told you I wasn't a physacist.  :)

Space may not have anything in it, but it is measurable.  According to the big bang theory prior to the big bang not only was there not any stuff there, there wasn't any space either, no time either. 
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Couldn't we just say the boil from TGGR's rage exploded but the explosion contained too much anger so it exploded into several mini=explosions which gave birth to what we know as the angry universe (Which is really some hormonal teenager) and it said "Fuck this" and tried to suicide but failed and that resulted in life as we know it.

Thats an easier big-bang atleast

I spent 2 days quoting and crafting a long reply about Eris and her grandmother KAOS, and strange mythological greek cyclic inheritance (see Jupiter, KAOS' grandson, end his family strife) and quoting a bunch of groundless ground, gateless gate, contextless context Taoist spaggotry (and how chaos can serve as it's own context)... but my browser crashed and I lost it all. It pretty much just boils down to the above.

Except, reality's still chaos half a second ago. Before you laid all those grids and filtered it through your monkey senses. The screaming Void. The mystery of all Mysteries.

Quote from: The Good Reverend Roger on January 20, 2010, 07:10:44 PMThe nature of the universe is self-evident.

It's a huge, cold empty place, with the occasional - or at least one - algae covered rock.  On this rock live monkeys.  The monkeys act really dumb a lot of the time, but sometimes they find time for better behavior, and make friends.  The universe then punishes the monkeys via their own bad wiring, and they part ways, and go back to being desperately unhappy. 

The End.

Damn Roger, that is depressing :(

You know there are equally positive formulations of the nature of the universe?
