I’ve been looking at your website. What can I say, you made me laugh, you made me cry. You’re quite talented. I am a Christian, not an angry one though. You made me think about some things.
I noticed in one part of your page you were bemoaning the fact that some are not taking your beliefs seriously. You even make a smug comment insinuating that you are better than Christians because followers of the FSM have never killed anyone. I certainly applaud that. But, I wonder, have you ever thought of it from the opposite standpoint? How many folks have died (rather than killed) for their Christian beliefs? If someone put a gun to your head and asked you to renounce your beliefs in the FSM or die, what would you do?
I suppose you think Christians or anyone else who have died or would die for their faith are just stupid, unenlightened, simple, morons? Is there anything for which you would die? Would you die for your kids, your parents, your spouse? If so, why? Because you love them? How foolish to believe in something like love, which cannot be observed or scientifically explained.
You may belittle faith and people of faith, but in reality you have faith too. Your faith is simply in different things. Your faith is in your intellect or in science or in love or whatever. Like the song says, “What if you’re wrong…?”
Have fun with your peaceful and clever “religion”. Meanwhile, I do hope you are eventually able to find and follow Jesus Christ before you die.
Please don’t reply, just think a little. and btw, I do think you are right about the whole global warming thing.

“I have had enough with The National Enquirer type of science, were everyone just repeats the same old arguments time after time with no scientific proof. Just a lot of †he said, they said, I read a book by Joe schmoo, blah de blah  the truth cannot be kept hid. Viva Science!”

Damn straight! I totally agree. Give me science with the methods and results sections where I can see for myself whether the conclusions are valid. There is no requirement for books to provide good strong science, there is in scientific journals. Better still, when bad science get through the peer review process it is still there in black and white print for others to evalutate. I eagerly await your list.
If someone asked if I was a druid, and I knew they would kill me, I would say, YES.
Now if they were to cut off my leg, thats another story. Its easy to die, Its hard to be destroyed, and live.
I don’t know if i am a Druidor not, but it beats being Christian. They get sloppy seconds when it comes to holydays, and iconic symbles like angels, and devils… its been done before (greeks and romans). To top it off, conservative right wing Christians are destroying democracy in the united stats, and i wont fucking stand for it. EVER. your leaders are closet homophobic freaks (nothing wrong with gays, but hypocrites… thats a different issue), who could give a shit about what their followers think or feel, as long as they have power money and influence.
welcome to the biggest American cult, were you heart and mind are not your own.
Get an idea thats your own, don’t use an answer to life that someone gave you or brainwashed you to believe. You will only find ash and pain of the soul.
alright rowen
.
so true, conservative republicans (there’s a difference between those and regular republicans) seek to take away our freedoms and replace it into a theocracy. that may be a little bit extreme. but if they succeed, that’s what i can imagine it being.
At Last! A christian who doesn’t use awful language and/or threats! But to answer the question, yes, yes I would die for the FSM. In response to your question, would you have allowed yourself to be beaten for an hour a day, everyday, while you were between the ages of 4 and 13 just to avoid saying that you believed in something you didn’t?

- But sir, this is exactly what you are doing!
Woah. A not-pissed off Christian. Well, I know I would die for my belief in Him. If someone held a gun to my head and told me to renounce faith in the FSM, I would put on my eyepatch, turn and face my adversary, and say, “Arrr. If ye so wish, make me walk the plank.”
And I’m glad that a non-Pastafarian finally accepts belief in the Pirate/Global Warming theory. Props to you, sir.
