Hi, Bobby–

Read an interesting article about FSM in today’s issue of the LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER in its Faith/Values section. My first reaction was: Aren’t you the clever one. Went out and created yet another “religion”. How cute. Just what the world really needs.

Even though you may have done it with tongue in cheek, it’s obvious from some of the e-mails on your website that some people appear to be taking it more seriously. My concern about this is what motivated the e-mail you’e reading.

Maybe God does have a sense of humor (it’s certainly a possibility) and is getting a good laugh as a result of your efforts. On the other hand, he may be weeping because the atheists, agnostics, and other non-believers of the world are jumping on your new bandwagon and using it as further justification for not seeking the truth and for continuing to believe only in the theory of evolution.

The bottom line, Bobby, is that what you have started may not be helping people from an eternal perspective, and you may just be giving them a good laugh at God’s expense (and, at your profit).

Don’t know where you’re coming from spiritually, but if there is a God (as multiplied millions throughout the centuries–including myself–believe), then he just might be upset at all those you are helping to lead astray (whether intended or not) with FSM–especially the young and impressionable.

There is scripture to back this up, but if you have no belief in the Bible as God’s Word, then it would be meaningless to you and I won’t bore you with it. If I’m wrong in this assumption, and you have any regard for the Bible, let me know and I’ll get back to you.

Unlike some of those who are my misguided “brothers” under the great umbrella of all that is and passes for Christianity, I won’t sign off by saying “I’ll pray for you” in a mean-spirited way. I’m really not a huge practicer of prayer and at my age (67) would probably forget to do so anyway.

Get back to me, if you’re interested and have a couple minutes to spare.

A fellow-seeker of truth,

Mr. Henderson, I think that it is completely unacceptable that you make such a mockery of God, our Creator. People like you just can’t realize that nothing would even exist on Earth if it weren’t for God. In addition, I think that it is a huge mistake to always regard science as authoritative fact because science itself is an endeavor which has been created by humans, and we are far from perfect in our own regard. The only explanation for the existence of such an orderly, complex universe is that almighty God created it (the teleological argument). The fact that the vast majority of people in this world personally attest to God’s presence in their life cannot be overlooked. I hope that you will rethink your absurdly abrasive approach to such a weighty issue.

Sincerely, J.H.C.

Your A Fag,

how dare you exploit the ignorance of the confused masses that are struggling to find their religious beliefs. Have you no sense you “scoundrel”. Full of rage I am. How can you sleep at night knowing your blasphemous lips have preached utter debauchery. May you rot in the fiery bowels of the poor misguided follower who bestows his faith in you.

your whole Flying spaghetti monster is as believable as the boogie man or other stupid creatures. this religon seems to be just based on a childs creative mind. This makes me think all younger generations now are full with idiots like you. No to believe that a spaghetti controls my life is crazy and stupid. And I have a strong feeling that your joking and don’t tell me your not cause I read it twice it seems all most too stupid please go read the bible or jump off the nearest cliff cause no one has use for you that’s why your making stupid religons In a world where so much is already so confusing, you would go so far as to make fun of my God? A creator is not a thing, it cannot be materialized. A spiritual, sacred image knowing all and seeing all, said it, and it was. To materialize a god is to make a god of one’s own desire, giving it it;s traits in accordance to what you want it to be. If I were to take this entire FSM thing literally, I would be seeing a satirical violation of the First commandment, as well as a connection between a divine Creator of heaven and Earth and an Italian dish. Even if this FSM is all just a simple joke and a satirical message to all those who believe in intellegent design, to start a church for people to worship a manmade god is damned. The starter of such a church will be the one answering to God for the number of lost souls given to the FSM cause. I realize that an email from a Christian will do nothing to stop you from sending more of Earth’s population to Hell, but i can only hope that some of your followers will read this email (if you post it) and repent from worshipping an idol.

You my friend are what we call R_E_T_A_R_D_E_D. You and your fucking pasta god? I must have eaten him a few times. Your just a gay fag that is looking for some attention because you have no friends. A fucking pasta Monster!?!?! Thats gotta be the biggest load of shit ive ever heard. Oh and just so you know, I know most of the people on you website, and hardly any of them belive it. Everyone thinks that you are dumb, so dumb in fact that they want you to belive it. Oh, and a cuple of you fellow pastafarians came to my door the other day witnessing, and i kicked there ass, curb-checked one and broke out his teeth, and the other one kinda got his arm broke. Ooops I played too rough. Your pasta monster did not help them there now did they. I want you to put my email out so anyone can email me about. Give it to all your pastafarian friends (the 2 that you have). I want them to email me. Oh and just for the record if any of your pastafagians come to my house again, there will be severe consecuences. Email me back too. I wanna hear what you got to say. I finnaly learned how to speak Faganise. Oh and im going to start a website soon that will be called Pastafariansaregay. I will keep you posted on that. Im ready for battle. Anytime you wanna fight.

Hey Bobby, Please watch what you say, your blasphemy is pleasing the devil. Do you really want to spend eternity in hell where there will be weeping and knashing of teeth? The devil is using you as his vessel to mock the Truth so that you may discourage people from believing in it in order for that you and others may be eternally damned. God loves you and wants you saved so that you may spend eternity with Him in paradise. All you have to do is repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and your sins will be forgiven. Friend, if you let Jesus be Lord of your life it will be purposeful as you fulfil God’s perfect plan for your life. Science is a religion of it’s own. To believe in evolution also requires faith. Again this is a mockery from satan. We did not derive from monkeys, we were made in the image of God and the devil hates that because he hates God so he uses this lie to persuade people that God is the liar and we did not originate from Adam and Eve. I will pray for you Bobby but I hope that you may be saved and experience the joy of knowing the Truth and having a personal relationship with the living God – there is nothing like it, He is so loving, gracious and merciful. God bless you, Pamela

You are one very sick unit and need help now or one day one of them noodles will go up your arse and strangle you from the inside out you dopey piss ant piece of shit
