Ohoooh and speaking of monkeys!!!! I'm SO glad that this thread went this direction!!! Now lets say, hypothetically, OK.. that you build this robot, right? but it doesn't have a CPU in it. got that, so Instead, you use a monkey's brain in place of the CPU. get it? a MONKEY'S BRAIN!! Now since the robot isn't alive till you give it a means to control itself, be it a monkey brain or a computer, and you just happen to be using a spidermonkey brain, which god originally gave life to, would it be a sin then? Or would it depend on whether you took the brain from a dead or a live monkey? I bet if you took it from a live monkey, it wouldn't be a sin...or would it? If you took the brain out of the monkey, but let the brain live in a robot, would you really be killing the monkey? or just cutting off a part that.......it didn't need any more? kinda like fingernails.... but a little more extensive, because in that case you really wouldn't be killing the monkey, but I bet that if you took it from a dead monkey, it would be even more of a sin because then you'd be resurrecting a monkey, which is a feat only jesusmunkey can get away with. Unless........ you could find the monkey messiah (son of monkey god) then maybe you could get away with bringing his brain back to life in a robot and monkey god wouldn't smite you, because your monkey brain died, albeit temporarily for the sins of other monkeys... and if you've ever been to the zoo, boy howdie can those monkeys sin. Do you think they're born with those hairy palms? It's amazing that they haven't all gone blind for god's sake! Debate THAT Karl-Hugo Weesberg!!! muhahaha!!
