Hey Bobby,
First of all, the idea behind your site is amusing, lighthearted, and it makes its point. I get that. I spent a good couple minutes chuckling about it when I first heard about the FSM and its “Church”. So when I got the link to your site, I was interested enough to go and peruse it, expecting a more elaborate version of the organization ultimately aimed at pointing out how silly the idea of teaching ID in schools is.(That’s what I’ve gotten from it so far - forgive me if I have the wrong idea)
I was a little put-off to see how elaborate it had in fact become - in my humble opinion, the “gospel”’s kinda pushing it - but I was more concerned at your Hate Mail section. I understand that you didn’t write those letters, and you’re well within your rights, through your disclaimer, to post them for the entertainment of the rest of us.
But I have to protest the mass grouping of all the e-mails you get. Putting those with relatively reasonable voices (for example, Pach) right along with those who basically posted rants of really un-Christian (in the literal sense of the word, not just those who claim the name) hate discredits their intelligent opinion and makes it seem like you don’t listen to anyone who disagrees with you, even if they’re reasonable and level-headed. And in my humble opinion, putting a small heading of “concerned criticism” doesn’t cut it if you’re still putting all the letters together.
Look, I know it’s slightly nitpicky, and I fully expect to find this grouped right in there with all the other “hate” letters, but I hope you might prove to really be listening after all, and in your renovation of the “Hate Mail” page, might consider actually putting a seperate section for “Concerned Criticism” for those who don’t actually hate you, just want their voice to be heard too. I don’t hate you, and I enjoyed your website. I’d be sad to find that this was considered hate mail, too.
All the best, Anna
-note from bobby - for the record, I don’t consider this hate-mail. This falls into the “concerned criticism” category, I think.
I consider “concerned criticism” of FSM to be inherently amusing. It’s like engaging in a long, rational dialectic about the Tooth Fairy, or having a heated disagreement about whether Chewbacca or Worf would triumph in a fight.
Chewbacca would kick Worfs ass. No contest.
On the one hand I feel sorry for you Anna for what Bobby has done, but then I realise that you were kinda asking for it.
Good one Bobby.
Praise FSM!
Please stop pretending that it’s perfectly normal to worship an invisible dude in the sky and that those who don’t are the weirdos…
K-thnx.
Yeah, but the Tick would take ‘em both at once.
NO WAI
WORF FTW
Well i think some may have critical concerns about bad people and non-christian-believing good people both getting lumped into hell…or is that different because of faith?
Please answer.
If you let Worf have one of those goofy Klingon sword things, he might have a chance. Otherwise, definitely, Chewbacca.
“a heated disagreement about whether Chewbacca or Worf would triumph in a fight.”
Duh. Everyone beats Worf. It’s like ..a Requirement…
Oh .. what were we talking about? Something Surreal, i imagine ..
Chewbacca hands down. i mean hes like 9 feet tall!
Cookie Monster would take them all. He’s seriously got jaws that could eat a brick house.
that’s a tough one, but i have to go with chewbacca.
Has to be Worf. Come on, man, no question. Chewwy was awesome, but I don’t think he killed a single storm trooper in the entire trilogy. And that’s just weak.
Meh. She seems to be complaining that all the hate mails are lumped together. Fair enough, but man does it take a lot of work to maintain a web site and blogging area. I don’t blame ‘em for just dumping into one big “pile o’ letters”.
Jajajaja!!! Thanks a lot!!! All of you!!! Really all in this page is so funny!!!!
Thank you for make me laugh!!!!
=)
hahaha “Concerned Criticism”
Dear Dr. Breen,
Why have the commmmmbiiinnee seen fit to suppress our religous belief cycle?
Signed, a Concerned citizen.
Ash of Evil Dead fame would lay EVERYONE on the board out, no sweat. The man is a shotgun ninja.
It’s been obvious to me for quite some time that he is genuinely touched by The Great One’s noodly appendage. Possibly by two such appendages.
Okay perhaps you didn’t SEE Chewie kill anyone. But is there really a contest between a Wookiee Bowcaster and a bat’leth?
The bowcaster is pretty lame. The bat’leth, not quite as lame. Plus, Chewie was in the Star Wars prequels, whereas Worf was on DS9 (the best Trek, hands down).
In a fight, though, Chewie would tear Worf’s arms off. And maybe the forehead ridges, too.
Meh. I’ll keep my money on Worf. The fact that no one else seems to think so just drives up the odds and my eventual payoff.
I mean, c’mon. The only “worthwhile” thing Chewie ever did was lug C3PO around - a feat for which I hate him to this day. Oh, yeah, and he went into Jabba’s palace in handcuffs so that he could later wreak havoc when…. hold on, when did he ever get around to wreaking havoc? Must have missed that part.
Chuck Norris would win.
