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.

“Full of rage I am.”
Hi Yoda! Has being a gnome gotten easier yet?
“read the bible or jump off the nearest cliff cause no one has use for you”
There is an argument on the very same thing here.
“…First commandment…”
Do you even know what that is?
I doubt it.

Well, it seems you are contradicting yourself, young patawon. Christianity was made, and they created a church about a man made god. God, at that time, was just a theory because there was no explaination for existance at that time. Why you are being a moron and wasting your life writing hate mail, is beyond me. But, let’s just say that you shouldn’t continue things like that in the future. It only makes yourself look bad.

“Your a fag”
Do you even know the definition of fag? I find it quite hard to be a “to tire or weary by labor; exhaust” Sure you can be in this state, but you cannot be one.
“your whole Flying spaghetti monster is as believable as the boogie man or other stupid creatures.”
Or other stupid creatures, such as your god, right?
“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”
That it is, and that’s what was done here, and that’s what was apparently done 2000 some odd years ago.

Dear Mr. Menges,
I find your views fascinating and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
There are very few people these days who are willing to spew venom and filth at others in print and I for one applaud you for choosing not to hide your violent and anti-social philosophy for fear of being labeled a freakish zealot.
Oh, and I completely agree. Those new Testament Christians can take their “turn the other cheek” attitude and shove it where the Son don’t shine, hahahaha (that’s a pun, right there, see… I know religion is serious and not to be taken lightly but sometimes I speak in tongues).
Anyway, I’m all for the days of plagues and eternal damnation and bestowing curses on people who think differently from you, too. Give me the Old Testament any day, says I! Down with the namby pambies! Give me the Creator Himself, living large and in charge!
Now, I know people say that Christians should be living from the New Testament because, well… that was the part that was actually about Christ… but seriously, you’ll never scare a heretic into conversion with all that love and compassion and understanding crap. C’mon now, right? Anyway… I am glad to see like souls out and about in society. It gives me hope for my own continued freedom from concerned medical practitioners.
God bless and keep you, sir.
Hopefully with karmic balance in consideration.

You put ’scoundrel’ in inverted commas but you’re happy to just slap ‘fag’ on the table as it is?
You know, it’s definitely much easier to interpret all hate-mail that comes into this site as deliberate parody than to take it at face value. Because, were there (somehow) to turn out to actually be a god (other than His Divine Noodliness), it’d be kind of sad if his loudest devotees happened to be such a collection of dysfunctional buttocks. Wasn’t it Sartre who said ‘Hell is other people’? Imagine heaven with these guys. Bring on the stripper factory…

It’s not just ‘Your fag’, though. It’s ‘Your A Fag’. God (or, I contend, the Flying Spaghetti Monster) knows what the buggery that means.
.
I wonder if it is indeed a reference to FSM himself (rather than buggery itself). For He manifestly exhibits two balls of chopped (and mashed) meat (if not liver) with (or without) herbs, bread and seasonings.
.
It’s still a factual error, of course, because anyone with half an eye could see (I refer you to Dawkins’ arguments on the value of ‘half an eye’, by the way) that the Noodliscient FSM has two meatballs, faggots, or fags. Perhaps Menges’ half reference is a reflection of his half-arsed grasp of our religion?

Mr Mengus
You obviously feel here you are an intelligent man and to a certain extent you very well may be, however if you have not red my reply to “If I Believe You Will Burn In Hell” i shall make a similar point.
How are you to know that your God and your religion isnt just as man made as you claim this one is?
You have the bible which is ment to be the word of God, however is it just me or has God not spoken to anyone on earth in over 2,000 years? I was taught by a christian minister in training that Gods voice is so powerful and so strong that human life could not take it and it would result in our heads exploding, if this is the case how did all these biblical figures from the past manage to talk with God and survive long enough to note it all down?
How can you criticise Bobby and the rest of us here for creating a god in the way we want him to be?
I believe that when things go wrong all religious people in the world believe God will be on your side. Terrorists attack and God will be on YOUR side, If we dont believe in Your God we will all burn in hell, If we are Homosexuals we will all burn in hell etc.
If God is the all loving all seeing all forgiving “father” who dearly loves his “children” the surely he will forgive us all for what we have done in life.
And if God’s creations are his children and he loves all of his children that must mean he loves everyone on earth including rapists, murderers, homosexuals, terrorists etc so
A) whats makes any of the above wrong and
B) what makes you think he will be on YOUR side?
In the bible God isnt quite the wonderful loving forgiving kind father figure religion makes him out to be.
God in the beginging struck fear into the heart of man and as time has gone on, the “loyal servant” of God in the west has fasioned the “creator” of the world into something they want him to be, something just like them.
You want a powerful all knowing all loving all forgiving god that opens his arms and the gates of heaven to those that believe to comfort you when you need it e.g. when we lose a loved one, you want a forgiving god that loves all of his creations so that you can make yourself feel better when you do something wrong, it makes you feel like if you appologise and god will forgive you and all will be well again, but then you want a mean god who will punish those who attack you or challenge you.
Is that not even worse than following the FSM? we arnt the ones mocking god his followers are by giving him boundaries, and manipulating and molding his name, his spirit, his being into something un godly, into something more human than spirit, into something like yourselves.

One other thing, atleast we know what our god looks like, I mean you depict him as a hippy more or less, the hippies didn’t come around until the 1960’s not the 0’s. So you obviously are incorrect in your depictions, also due to the fact that there’s about a 99.8% chance that he could not be white. All of us know we worship a Flying Spaghetti Monster, and we’re proud of it. ^_^

I would first like to state humbly and uprightly; everyone who posted comments against my post is correct in stating that I was idiotic for posting this in the first place. At that point in my life, I was truly upset about people joining a faith in which the divinity was what I believed to be no more than an afterthought. In the past months I have reflected upon this post and have realized that it is not my place to damn anyone to hell for believeing what they want to believe. I believe in the beliefs of Christianity, and for me, they are true. I have learned that for peole of other religions, including this one, that the followers may find truth in their own certain religion. It was wrong of me to blow up. I would like to official retract any statement in the above post which has offended anyone. I am truly sorry for my arrogance (and bad grammer!). I love my God as much as you love yours, and for me to deny you that right is just plain wrong. I hope you will find it in your hearts to forgive. Know that I have matured and am much more tolerant of those whose beliefs arte different than mine.
Thank you,
Menges

Perhaps I’m just extremely cynical – am I the only one here wondering if that apology is really sincere?
.
It’s *not* an apology. It doesn’t say “Bobby, I’m sorry I called you a really offensive word, when I have no idea what your sexuality is, and it’s none of my damn business, and there’s nothing wrong with being gay anyway, even if you are, and you’re probly not”. It doesn’t say “I understand the point and I’m really sorry I misjudged you guys.” It doesn’t acknowledge the true purpose of what Bobby’s set out to do at all. No, instead the post basically says “Look, I can forgive you pagans because I’m better than you, I still hold all the same beliefs, I’ve learned nothing, I’m just covering my ass, ’cause my pastor did a sermon about tolerance and now I’m worried I’ve damned myself to hell along with all you heathen queers, and I’ve not been sleeping well. Best fix it up with the big guy upstairs., so there – I’ve apologised (but I know in my heart of hearts you’re all gonna burn, burn, burn, BURN…”

To davey jones slacker,
I’m sorry you feel that way. What i wrote WAS intended to be an apology. If you need it verbatim, then I am truly sorry for what I wrote. I did not mean to offend anyone who holds these beliefs. My religion is as true to me as your is to you. Toleration? Yes I suppose it could be defined as that, but that’s not how I see it. I just want to live in a world where people can interpret the apology of a guy who feels absolutely horrible about what he wrote.

Wow. Imagination in religion? How absurd (sarcasm). Seriously people, what ISN’T imagination. Whatever you sense in your environment can only be interperted by your mind, and whatever you make of your sensory imput only has meaning if you think about it create ideas based on it. In other words, whatever you think is really just part of your imagination. There is no real definition. Even reality is just an agreed upon interpertation of what incromprehensibly little we know about the “universe” (Whatever that is – sorta sarcasticly). As such, God, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, Buddha, Allah, The Easter Bunny (AKA Jesus), Aquaman, the French, and pudding are all imaginary. Honestly, they wouldn’t be any fun if they were any other way.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted my original rant (if you can call it that) and my apologies. I would just like to further reiterate that I have recanted everything I had originally said, and I can now honestly say that I don’t agree with one word I wrote. I was an egomanical jerk at the time, bent on forcing my beliefs onto others. I was frustrated with the indifference toward religion in America and voiced my frustration in an inappropriate manner. If at all possible, I would really appreciate if this page were removed. If anything, it would spare me from further guilt. I am truly sorry, and I truly do mean it. God Bless.

Just a few suggestions for all.

@ Joseph Ratzinger and Associates
I believe that the initial rant by Joshua was both egomanical and inappropriate, as he has stated here. It is far out of line for anyone to judge another human being based on their religion. However, he has retracted that belief multiple times and apologized to those whom he has offended. I encourage you all to think of yourselves. How many times have you erred? Is a part of your life permanantly on the internet for other people to judge? Is is really fair that you, essentially, are continuing the cycle of ignorance by judging Mr. Menges based on nothing but a prejudiced letter he wrote and later retracted.
In any church, Catholic or otherwise, forgiveness is taught. As a practicing Roman Catholic, it is taught that any individual can seek forgiveness for any action as long as they are truly repentant. It sounds like Mr. Menges is truly repentant. So for those individuals who cannot come to terms with forgiveness, maybe you should not call yourself a religious person at all.

Religion is a strange thing. It seems to give people authority to do whatever they want. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a catholic, but it seems that while you claim to know everything there is to know about God and the bible you have forgotten one of Jesus’ most famous teachings : “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone” John 8:7
In other words, who are you to judge?

Why are Christians so unlike Christ?
He taught love, where as so many of his followers teach hate, and are so quick to judge other people. (one of the things Jesus taught against)
I’d be glad to go to hell, if only to be far away from such narrow minded, rude, intolerant people who seem to act like total arseholes “in the name of Jesus” (and I’d have more chance of meeting Jimi Hendrix!)

I can’t Count the number of times I’ve had to explain, either lightly or firmly, that somebody who can’t appreciate a joke should just go leave the internet and get a life other than just insulting people’s satire?
I don’t know about you, but I’d think that you would have something better to do than rant about your hatred of free spirit. Why don’t you just go back to your stupid church and read the bible another 50 times. I’m getting so sick of people who can’t take a joke just because it “defies their religion.” Go find a better way to spend your time.
