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

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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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’?

The spelling or grammer don’t belittle his point, which may be the most valid of all the hate mail. Why is FSM such a close resemblance to “Biblical” symbols.
The answer was “Don’t be so serious.”
I suppose most people DO learn religious ridicule at the same time as they learn of religion.
But neither side of this debate is obviously illogical. Both points center around courtesy, manners and taste, unlike any of the other hate mail on this page.
His point actually makes a mockery of many responses. Or rather, they make a mockery of themselves in their illogical and directionless rebuttals.
“Mocking Christianity with the fork on cross and FMS eating Jesus fish is gay”
is my favourite line. Is he mocking “gay”s, or “FMS” or “Jesus fish” or the act of FSM eating ?
He really did hit the central point.. a religion based on mocking another one?

Being a devout and practicing Christian for the last 37 years of my life I was outraged by you’re flipint attitude towards us folk who accepted jesus. I was about to send you a letter detailing how I was going to rip out you’re intestance and use it as a condom while I fuck some nice sized holes into your retarded brain and hyenas eat your knees off but then I realized that I had not heard one of my fellow bretheren of the lord asking God about this. So I did just that last night. Do you know what God said to me? You’re never gone believe this, he said you were right. That’s right you son of a bitch, he said everything you have said about this flying spaghetti monster is true. He admitted to me that he had been taking credit for creating the universe thinking that no one would ever believe the truth because of how stupid it sounds. He now sees that he was mistaken about this as you have shown to the world the most preposterous ideas are always correct. Thus you must be the incarnate son of the FSM and should be worshiped as such. God wanted me to pass along a message that he is very sorry about all of taking undue credit and hopes that your majesty will not be pressing charges. He’s been really busy working on a new book right now and, besides, his umbrella liability policy does not pick up coverage for that type of peril. Hey, I’m sorry too, ok, dude? Friends?

“If we must play the theological game, let us never forget that it is a game. Religion, it seems to me, can survive only as a consciously accepted system of make-believe. . . .
“You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. . . . Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat’s meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.”

holy shit, thinking is a sin? doesn’t the bible say freewill (and hence, free thought) is supposed to be god’s greatest gift to man? If I were god, I’d be pissed that you aren’t using my greatest gift and instead are following some archaic book written by some dumbasses several thousand years ago. And secondly, the koran is supposed to be the unadulterated word of god, not the bible. Go get some culture. Other than from yogurt.

FSM merely mocks that which has always been a mockery of legitimate understanding. Theism, supernaturalism and most religions are childhood immaturity and fantasy allowed to creep into adulthood and stunt the better development of an otherwise healthy human being. The fact FSM upsets the delusional is no surprise. The delusional need upsetting to induce them toward maturity. Mock away, mock away I say.

Maybe this is THE answer to the ridiculous fundamentalism taking over our sad, sad country. I’m all for it! I mean, I’ll remain an atheist for the rest of my life , but from now on, I’ll preface my declaration of atheism with the caveat that I’m an atheist because a voice in my head tells to be an atheist. Okay, so I’ll work on the atheology a little more, but thanks for the inspiriation! you rock!!! And all praise to you noodle!

Alan, do you believe in the Bible completely without a doubt?
Because the bible (Exodo 35:2) says you can kill anyone that works on Saturdays, and (in Exodo 21:7) says you can sell your sister as a slave.
Are you agree with this????
There are lots of examples like this in the bible….I think you should not belive in all the things you read in the bible, even not in the “newest” books of the bible.

Just want to say thanks to HaHaHa and Vicar – for some reason boards like this get filled by the great illiterati hiding behind their chosen belief system because they cannot think and reason for themselves. HaHaHa and Vicar are so obviously secure in ther indivual beliefs and do more to spread the Christian ideals with their acceptance and recognition of humour – maybe if more Christians, Jews and Muslims could find such individual faith and acceptance then less people would be killed in the pursuit of “my god’s better than your god”
