Thou shalt not destroy the universe.
Thou shalt not kill every living and/or sentient being including
yourself.
Thou shalt not kill every living and/or sentient except yourself.
Mark, this is so PHIL101. Do you *really* think there aren't people,
now or conceivable in another time, who could in full sincerity
violate any of these? Think cult-mentality for starters.
There are people who could in full sincerity violate *any* statement.
All you have to be is stupid enough, deluded enough, dishonest enough, or
any one of a thousand pathologies. The (until now unrealized by me) PHIL
101 is that you are arguing unrealistic infinities that serve no purpose
other than mental masturbation.
Do you *really* think that any of those three statements shouldn't be
embraced regardless of circumstances (and don't give me ridiculous crap like
"Well, if the universe was only inflicting suffering on everyone . . . . ")

I'm not going to cheerfully right you off now, but feel free to have
the last word as I can't afford any more time for this right now.
