dhw,
> Resident Ignoramus: So the universe is the first cause, whether God exists or not. Or, to put it another way (as of 02 April at 15.11): "There has never been nothing. There has always been something in the form of energy. Theists believe that the energy has a mind, atheists believe it has no mind, and agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve either theory. Why has there always been energy rather than nothing? Because that's how things are (first cause)." Anyone disagree?
> -Nope. Absolute agreement on my end. -> (These characters are fictional, and any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental.)

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
