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
Ye, I understand that ‘mocking other religionsd is eniterly wrong’, but this isn’t truly mocking, it’s just a fun joke to give everyone some comic releif from the topic of creationism. I’ll repeat: It’s just for fun!
Thank you for your gramatically incorect time,
That Guy
So using the word ‘gay’ as an insult because you disagree with homosexuality is what… enlightened? piss off.
Put down the Jesus-juice and when you sober up please repost.
Oh, I thought Christians had the corner on the market of “mocking” other religions! Please take your FAKE Jesus and go away!
I agree with another commentor that classifying something you find objectionable as “gay” is offensive and redneckish all by itself. You obviously are either 1.) a junior high school student who rides the short bus to your village classroom, or 2.) some drunk redneck who should have ridden the short bus to your village classroom more often.
I think this commenter is just jealous of all of the periods on this site.
One would think that, by now, people would realize that poor spelling, no punctuation and bad grammar instantly mark a post as retarded. Especially when vomiting baseless religious pop-ups and taking yourself way, WAY too seriously. In the future, take the dick out of your mouth before you begin typing.
Fuck Jesus.
Jesus save me from all the nuts that believe in you…
These letters are hilarious, in a sad way though, because most of them were probably NOT written by children. Fundies say the darndest things!
Maybe your personal God should the the one that teaches you how to spell, so that your rantings come across better, without all the distraction of being too stupid to be able to spell words like unnecessary, religonsd, eniterly and religons.
I agree that the cross image may have been a tad unnecessary, but it’s just harmless fun, get over it. On kind of a side note, where did the Jesus Fish symbol come from? Isn’t that kind of silly.
In response to alot of the other posters, there’s no reason to get this upset over the original poster’s childish explosion.
Personally, I’m rather religious, but I take the Church of the FSM as vastly amusing, it was a well done creation. Guys who are responding to this guy and insulting Christianity, that’s a tad unnecessary, no? You’re just lowering yourself to his level. Whether or not you believe in Christianity, I’m assuming you can honor the basic values of Loving thy neighbor, and such.
Let the guys who want to respond with “righteous fury” against the FSM do so. It’s not hurting you.
Original poster, “clearly fake” was probably a silly thing to type.
I think that’s about it.
BRILLIANT!
“…just because you disagree with us and would rather worship something that is clearly fake…”
absolutely brilliant. You should write satire novels.
wow, there sure is a lot of anger here, and it looks like a lot of it’s stemming from “christians”.
man. where to begin.
I’m a christian, and a creationist, and i just wanted to pipe in and say that not all christians are assholes. :) I came here from boingboing, and found that it’s not simply the few hate emails posted, but also the comments that are full of jerky reponses to the FSM movement - generally people who call themselves christians.
Personally, I think the FSM movement is hilarious. I thought it was a great joke when I heard about it, and I still do. Obviously I see the FSM’s point about religion being taught in schools as science, and though this may surprise you - i agree!
Any good christian will tell you that belief in God - any god really, not just the christian god - requires faith. Faith and science are polar opposites. Using the scientific method is completely separate and apart from having faith. That being said, creationism, while I do personally believe in it, has no place in a science class.
I don’t personally agree with the theory of evolution, but that is simply a statement of opinion - I have nothing to base it on but my own faith. While there is proof of the Bible as being a believeable historical document (cross-referencing with other documents, existence of such things as the Hebrew race, the geographical locations, etc.,) there is, as far as I am aware, no historical proof whatsoever of the Creation as described in the Bible. I still believe in Creation as described in Genesis, but I have only my faith. To that end, I see no reason why creationism should be taught in a science class - it’s not scientific, and there is no science involved. Further, as the scientific community has shown, there is evidence of evolution as fact. This belief has given way to the general acceptance, using the scientific method, of evolution as the way that we came into being. This is science. As this is the general belief, and it is science, I believe that this is the only idea that should be taught in science class. Any other ideas should include scientific backing - such as proof. Without this, any opposing ideas are not science, and should be taught elsewhere.
I’m not opposed to teaching christian beliefs in schools, but they don’t have much place in the science class. A class on religion might have a place for christian ideas, but I can quickly see that becoming a huge mess, as every idea would clamor for attention, no matter what the rest of the world thought of it. That being said, my own opinion is that the solution to all of our issues is a simple one: raise your children. That’s right - speak to them, and share your ideas. If you’re a christian, it should be easy enough for you to share your faith with your children. If you’re of another faith (hello FSMers!) or an evolutionist, the same applies. A loving parent should be any child’s biggest and most important source of information. If you feel that the school is undermining your efforts as a parent, you’re probably not spending enough time with your kids. Sit down with them, share your ideas, and let them know *why* you believe what you do. In the end, your kids are eventually going to grow up, and they’ll form their own opinions and beliefs. Your input will play a part, and it can be an important one, no matter your beliefs.
My own hope is that God will set me straight when I get to heaven. :) Maybe evolution is really what happened, but that still wouldn’t shake my faith and belief in God. In the end, I will still believe what I believe, but I don’t think my faith has a place in any scientific circles - it’s simply not science.
As far as the hatred goes: if you call yourself a christian, please remember that Jesus told us that the second highest law is to love one another. If you’re wishing someone would go to hell, is that really love? Remember, at this point, most of the people (at least in the U.S.,) have heard of the Gospel, and have made their minds up one way or the other. Either they’ve accepted it, or they’ve rejected it. Your words are not going to change anyone’s mind, and you can’t save anyone. If you really want to make a difference, please don’t spew hatred and anger. The world is sick and tired of hearing what we believe. They don’t want to hear about how great God is, or how much He loves us. They want to see it. The people of the world are want to see action. If you really loved the world, you would do something to change it. I don’t mean making threats that God will have to carry out (sending people to hell,) I mean stopping to help that stranded person on the freeway. On your way to church, how about stopping to feed that homeless person. Gee, why not skip church all together, and help someone in need? People don’t want to be beaten over the head with religion. It doesn’t work, and noone cares. What this world longs for is love. Try it.
If you’ve read this far, and you’re not a christian, please accept my apology. Nobody is perfect, myself included. People, regardless of their true beliefs, often display anger in the name of christianity. Again, I simply want to state for the record that all christians are not assholes. Please don’t write us all off. :)
thank you so much for using the FSM hate mail site as your personal soapbox. please make sure all tray tables and seat backs are returned to their upright position. drive through.
Visit godgab.org if you want to discuss religion with some civility.
Hmmm, do we discuss the spelling errors or the homophobia?
how to choose
Origins of the Jesus fish symbol (from Wikipedia although I remember learning it in school):
Ichthus (ΙΧΘΥΣ, Greek for fish) is an acronym, which is a word formed from the initial letters of the several words in the name. It compiles to the following: “Jesus Christ God’s Son is Saviour”
I is the first letter of the word Jesus in Greek: Ιησους
CH are the first letters of the word Christ (ΧÏιστος)
TH are the first letters of the word THeou (Θεου), Greek for God
Y is the first letter for Uios (Υιος), Greek for son.
S is the first letter for Soter (ΣωτηÏ), Greek for saviour.
On the cross thing - I once pointed out to someone that if Jesus had been hanged, would she have been so happy to wear a little gold noose on a chain around her neck? SHe told me not to be silly - I thought I was making a valid point.
Better then “preaching” with sword and fire to pagans.
For you people having a stroke over the FSM. Does the not-god, but omniscient and omnipotent being have a sense of humor? And if he doesn’t how do you know he doesn’t find the jokes you laugh at unacceptable?
Taking that further since you leave no possibility of accpeting FSM humor does that mean if you’re on the wrong side of the joke that Intelligence will have you burning in ‘hell’?

Jesus is cumming, and boy is he pissed.
