It's predetermined that you will start one. It's in your genes, your stars, it's in the quantum fluctuations, it was foretold by Nostradamus. You have NO CHOICE!!!

Oh, yeah, they do. That's predetermined as well. Nothing we can do about it.

Well corp769, it appears your thread isn't going to be closed. If you really want this thread to be technically dead, we all have to stop posting here and let it drift off the first page and beyond. Not easy of course...

Drive a stake through its heart, and bury it at a crossroads.

Meh, not really. It's mostly just religious fanatics spouting their usual BS.

It does have to do with religion tho, so it does belong there. I mean, it is one of the goals of religion, to make you feel "small and insignificant" ... a typical religious quote, often heard from "scientists" as well.

WTF|?

All religious people I know think they are the best, they think they are special, they think they are in the cernter of the universe, they think they are all friends with the Universe Elite of God and his angels, and they believe they are all buddies with Jesus christ that protects them from everything because they are the most important pieces of matter in the universe.

So if that's the objective of religions, it's obviously not working.

PLus, they believe they have Ultra Intelligence, and they also believe that they Know Everything with 100% accuracy and it's impossible that they are wrong.
