Dear Mr. Henderson, I must

Dear Mr. Henderson, I must say, after looking at your website, I was slightly offended. I, for one, am a support of ID, and believe me, it does not involve some mockery of God as a Italian noodle. Frankly, your webpage is flys in the face of entire idea of a real church, and missleads some poor fool into thinking your dribble about a ‘flying spaghetti monster’ is true. I hope you see the error of your ways and get rid of this compleltly unhomrourous version of ID. May He have mercy on you for creating this offensive website. Sincerely, Matt

    How do YOU know FSM isn’t real? How do YOU know that YOUR god is real? For all any of us knows this universe was crapped out of some squirrel’s arse. Before you insult my belief and that of thousands of others, maybe you should have some substantial reason as to why my religion is wrong and yours is right.

    If you insist on using the arguement that our faith has many resemblences to previously existing faiths as a disproof of the validity of our faith, then you must accept the same arguement can be applied to disprove the validity of christianity, as it has numerous similarities to previously existing faiths. Any arguements against our religion that you have that are outside the dogma and beliefs of your religion can be just as validly applied to your religion.

    We can PROVE our faith. We have evidence to back everything. The FSM is real, not fake, like that ‘jesus’ or whatever his name is. I urge you to look deep into your heart and wait for him to reveal his noodly presence to you. He will if you ask him to. Until then, try not to blaspheme, or you’ll be so sorry when we get our stripper factory and you get nothing. Besides, your religion is ‘compleltly unhomrourous’and ours is very ‘homrourous’. May the SFM have mercy on you.

    Why won’t these people understand? Its not about misleading. Its about embracing. This website is guilty of a great many things, but misleading people is not one of them.

    I believe that these hatemail posts are concocted by the admins to keep the members humming.

    Dear, Dear Matt;
    “and missleads some poor fool into thinking your dribble about a ‘flying spaghetti monster’ is true.” If it was so easy for someone to be misled into thinking that FSM is true, I suggest that the poor fool would be a christian, not a Pastafarian. I mean, christians have been misleading fools for centuries.

    @maxwell: The Christian church have been in the business of misleading for quite some time. Their extensive experience in this field have seen to it that many intelligent people choose to be dooped into the darkness of faith.
    .
    The danger with convincing intelligent people is they are able to think of arguements to support their idea. ID is one of those arguements. It takes the Adam and Eve story and expands it to accept the evidence of evolution.

    Ok, I understand. Thanks. Educated christians can put forth pretty good *sounding* arguments, but they always fail. It’s like arguing that the sun rises in the west. I can throw all kinds of equations and jargon out, and make it *sound* good, but that fluff doesn’t change the facts. Christians do the same thing when arguing for ID. The underlying premise is false, so all of the arguments built upon it are false. But, boy-howdy try to tell them that! You’ll get back a snarling reply, or they just disappear. I’ve had a few that would debate ‘proof’ of god, but again, their proof is the bible.

    “It’s like arguing that the sun rises in the west.”

    The sun doesn’t rise anywhere, the Earth rotates, causing the illusion of a rising sun. See how myth/disinformation is incorporated into popular consciousness? Next time you see the sun “rise,” remember that the sun is relatively motionless, and it’s the planet you’re on that’s moving. Gives the experience a whole different feel.

    I’m not suggesting that anyone doesn’t know this. It would be good to have another term for this occurrence, something more accurate, like “sunshow.” Never mind, back to the IDiots.

    Could be much worse. No doubt a fool like that, would swallow the imaginary god of xtianity, lock, stock and barrel.
    No doubt xtianity doesn’t want any competition to its enlisting the belief of easily led fools.

    “unhomrourous”

    I beg to differ, the main attraction of the FSM theory is the homrour involved!

    Dictionary.com says:

    No results found for unhomrourous.
    Did you mean unhumorous (in dictionary) or Ian Humphreys (in encyclopedia)?

    A search of Ian Humphreys yields:

    Ian Humphreys (born 24 April, 1982 in Ireland) is an Irish rugby union footballer, occupying the fly-half position (usually called “out half” in Ireland He is the younger brother of Ulster fly-half David Humphreys. He plays for Leicester in the Heineken Cup. He joined Leicester in 2006 from Belfast Harlequins. He has also played for Ulster at under 21 level where he captained them during the 2002/03 season. He has also represented Ireland at U19 and U21 level, and captained the Irish side at the Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament in Hong Kong in March 2005. He had previously been named player of the tournament for the European Sevens qualifier in Poland, whilst his first outing in Tigers stripes was at the Middlesex Sevens Tournament at Twickenham in August.

    So… If Matt thinks this site is an Ian Humphreys version of Intelligent Design… I guess that’s kind of a compliment. Pastafarianism as the badass rugby player of the ID community… I can dig it.

    And notice – Mr. Humphreys occupies the FLY-half position. If that’s not an FSM reference, I just don’t know what is.

    Well, at least Matt’s IQ is probably higher than 0, unlike the rest of the devout IDiots. (But seriously, “humrourous”?) However, like so many others, he’s been brainwashed. It’s pitiful how certain you are that you’re right.
    You know what? I don’t give a shit if “He” (God) forgives me, because more likely than not, he doesn’t exist. I’m going to Pastafarian Heaven, bud, but I’ll pass on the strippers.
    Peace, Love, and Pirates to all!

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
