To Get The Other Side Of What?

[Pouncepaw]

So If the chicken crossed the road to get to the other side I want to know what he was seeing on the other side that attracted him.
Was it just the mindless wandering of a loose chicken
Was the chicken dragged there?
What if the chicken is humanity and the road is life, and the other side is Heaven, or Hell, or the afterlife?
What does a chicken become on the next life?
Most people do feel like they are a re-incarnation of an animal or as if their soul is not new.
I know this because I sometimes have flashback of things I have no business knowing. I have spoken to someone and that have advised me to just live with it or seek medical help.

So really what I am saying is, what do you think the chicken crossed the road for?
Do you accept that chickens are mindless creatures and that it was probably just a coincidence?
Do you think he was encouraged or bribed?
Do you think he was forced?
Or do you think the chicken is really just an example of humanity?

Or is this just another childhood story that you have no business questioning?

Okay, I would first like to ask, are you a Christian/Catholic? I'm a Christian. Now, chickens are definitely NOT the smartest creatures in the world. It probably just ran to the other side because it had gotten out or had a nest or was just confused. But I do like your representation of the chicken, the road, and the other side - literally! Anyway, I would think of it in a bit different way. But not too different from your's. chicken= sinful, human beings (all of us),right road= Jesus Christ (if you choose him to follow), and other side= Heaven. Now, If the chicken - us - were to cross the road and run all over the road, he'd probably get hit by a car. But if the chicken chose the right road - Jesus Christ - it would be saved and have a right way to cross to get to the other side - Heaven. When you ask what happens to animals when they die, all I can say is, nobody knows. People can say they re-incarnate, go to Heaven, or just nowhere, but They don't actually know what the truth is. And the truth is NOBODY knows! Yes, I want animals to go to Heaven. But I don't know. In the Bible it doesn't clearly state what happens to animals when they die. So whenever someone asks me, I just say that we'll wait til we get there.

I have a few simple words for you that will clear up every question.

Mike the Headless Chicken.

Well isnt that just the nostril kittens part of this arguement.

[naturekit]

So, Pouncekit, does that make sense? Do I need to explain anything else?

[Snowfire]

Actually Forestbreak does have an ounce of a point. When they behead chickens to eat them, they just whack it off. No, the chicken doesn't flop down dead. Instead it runs around for the rest of its life till it freaking bleeds to death.

No that has nothing to do with what I'm about to say.

That joke is so well-used that I have really no idea where it came from. Or for that matter, when. So we really can't say it originated in Leeds, England and say it was part of that whole Christian thingy.
Nor can we say it was just a stupid joke started by a teacher in Indiana, can we?
Because it really is a pity. ]
That would save my arguement.

ANyways, Pouncepaw. I currently explained to you I wrote a document about this entire thingamabobber. But... this doesn't exactly need it.

Let's see, why do people do anything they don't need to. Why do people go sky-diving? 1. They want to impress their friends. 2. They think it's fun. (I'll go with #2. XD)
Why do you have friends? Do you need friends? Most people would say yes. But you really don't. Sure you'd go to into an eternal hole of dark sad misery but you'd still be living, yes?

Any why, would anybody climb a tree. They want to see the view? Trying to pass time? Figure out where they are? It's fun?

I'm seeing that most of this is "fun". What about curiosity? Why are you thinking about this in the first place? Because that is the human nature. Humans want to explore. They want to know things. They want to compete. They want to be the best. The Ancient Greeks knew this. Pandora's Box? Yup. Yup. Yup. I'm too lazy to explain that amusing prank of the gods on Epimetheus's wife. Go read it for yourself. Do you think the chicken just thought that the other side was better? What was it like? Did they have better worms and bugs and such?

Chickens are not the smartest creatures. Or that's what we think. Almost everbody thinks that we're the smartest species. The best. Really. Ask yourself. Is that true? Would the Earth be polluted? Would there be Global Warming? All that really comes from, is foolish desire and too much curiosity. There is a current argument about that human species. Are we a mistake? A disaster? Or were we made on purpose?

Maybe the planets did have life on them once. Maybe Mars wasn't always the same as it was. Maybe they made the same mistake we did and perished. You might notice that this has nothing to do with chickens. Let's get back on topic, shall we?"

Chickens probably have a different sense of intelligence as we do? Different Cat breeds are smarter than other ones. Is it the same with chickens. Is the Polish and Puffball smarter than the Rhode Island Red or the Giant?

I guess we'll never know.

THE CHICKEN WAS LURED ACROSS BY A BIG PILE OF COOKIES.

[naturekit]

Cookies? REALLY? No, no. They were lured by talking pickles! Duh!

[Snowfire]

EWWWWWW.
That. Is. Disgusting.

[Mistsong]

Why did you post the same thing twice?

[Arrowstone]

I know, right?
And whaaaaat?? I didn't post that twice.

[Snowfire]

no, it was me. I posted twice. Then I deleted it. :3

[Arrowstone]

Ahh! that makes alot more sense!
