He's Got The Whole World--

Nick and Jonas got all philosophical tonight. Their conversation went something like this:

JONAS: So, how do we get chickens? Does God create chickens, and then those chickens make more chickens?

NICK: Yeah - God can create whatever he wants. And he can do anything that he wants.

J: I know one thing he can't do. He can't hold up the world with his hand.

N: Why not?

J: 'Cuz his hand would go right through it.

N: No, I don't think it would.

J: Yeah, he's really strong.

(The disagreement continues for a few more lines, until--)

N: So, when we eat chicken, do we eat chickens that just happened to die, or are the chickens killed just so we can eat them?

FondlySam: They're purposely killed. Some people don't eat chicken or other meat for that very reason.

N: Or - you could just not think about it, and eat meat. I think that's what I'll do.

Man, you should bring your kids to class one day. I have so much to learn from them. Yes, that's a great idea. Instead of a lame movie on Thursday, bring your kids and give them a live chicken.

Smart kid. He realized you don't want to think about where you get your meat...you just want to eat it. Good man, good man.
