Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
Jesus Christ and the American G.I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

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
The trend in all these e-mails seems to be that they assume we agree that Christ existed and that God is real. I believe I speak for every FSM adherant when I say that we do not; so it’s hardly convincing.
Think what you want about Jesus or God, but one FACT that is certain, and one person that DOES exist is this American Soldier. (Well, actually Sailor)…hehe Do you believe in us servicemembers???
Did he just assume we’re soldier haters?
’cause ya know, that just makes you look retarded.
This is why FSM is so much more believable. No one has ever *seen* God, or even a part of *God* — but pasta is everywhere! Whenever I see a box of angle hair or rigatoni, I know that I am in the presence of His Grace.
Okay the Jesus thing I kind of expected - the soldier thing was a little odd.
The soldiers are dying for our freedom, yes? Freedom as in, oh, I dunno, the freedom to believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster if we want to? Your point therefore becomes null by means of your own “logic”. What do you think, that the soldiers are returning Jesus’ favor or something?
As a FSM (PBUTFSM) adherent since 2005, I forgive those who trespass against us with such misunderstandings. May the FSM enter their hearts and shine the Light of Truth upon them. Peace Be Upon The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
*PBUTFSM = Peace Be Upon The Flying Spaghetti Monster
See, the fact of the matter is, those of us who believe in God know that he is real, and the spaghetti monster is fake. And those of you who believe the spaghetti monster is real know it is fake, but you also know that God is real. So you can keep clowning around all you want, but those facts are certain.

So, no one has ever seen God, huh? Look at the stars in the sky, the whales in the ocean, or the sun setting in the west. Do you think some “big bang” made that, or a spaghetti monster made that? No, moron, it was God. Only God has the power to create such things. As for your idiotic “pasta is everywhere”, umm, dumbass, HUMANS make pasta.

Hey retard, wake up. You have war protesters pictures on your site. If you don’t support the war, you don’t support the troops. Get it, shithead?
re: Tyler.
The sun setting, and the stars in the sky do not prove the existance of god. It leans more towards proving the big-bang theory.
“If you don’t support the war, you don’t yada yada yada…”
How utterly typical of the neo-con machismo attitude. My tax dollars pay for those troops (including you, I presume), thus supporting them. I do not, however, support the dunderheaded decisions that lead us there, and keep us there. Smilin` George can say “everything;s okay, stay the course” `till he leaves office in 2.5 years, but his poll numbers say that americans are not that gullible.
Its pretty clear that Tyler is, I would estimate, a 14 year old who stumbled across the site.
“My tax dollars pay for those troops”

I didn’t know they tax food stamps!?

No, dumbass, Tyler is in the U.S. Navy, and one of his jobs is protecting your freedom of speech. Even if that speech involves the ignorance of worshipping a pile of pasta, and trying to make a mockery of the almighty God. Grow up!
Not supporting the war equals not supporting the troops?
That is the biggest load I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Just because I (or anyone else) for that matter, doesn’t agree with the policy of this government does NOT, in any way, mean that I do not support my troops. They had no say in where they were going, and they didn’t choose to fight in the war. They were ordered to by the government. And if they signed on after we were already there, then I can respect that because they are out there fighting for something they believe in. I hope they all return home alive and well, and I wish no ill will upon anyone who would put his country before himself. I love and respect those who have the courage to fight, and am proud of the sacrifice they make, BUT that does not mean I have to agree with the war they are fighting. Just like Tyler protects my freedom of speech, I protect his, he can believe and think whatever he wants, and fight for this country. Just because I don’t agree with it, doesn’t mean I don’t support his right to do so.
So, do you get it shithead? Just because I don’t agree with what the U.S. is doing doesn’t mean I hate the troops/ don’t support the troops/ am a terrorist/ letting the terrorists win, etc.
And I’m sorry if you think we’re mocking your almighty god, but you come on this page and post statements mocking OUR almighty God. As a defender of free speech, you can say whatever you want, but please do not chastise us for doing something you yourself do.
“I didn’t know they tax food stamps!?”
har har har. What a lame attempt at derision. Let me try:
Well, then, perhaps you should listen when your welfare officer talks to the mother of your 1 child and the 6 that belong to various friends of yours.
“If you don’t support the war, you don’t support the troops.”
Then it must be so!
The essence of peace is loving humanity. So are you saying troops aren’t humans?
“No, dumbass, Tyler is in the U.S. Navy, and one of his jobs is protecting your freedom of speech. Even if that speech involves the ignorance of worshipping a pile of pasta, and trying to make a mockery of the almighty God. Grow up!”
Is it just me, or have the crusades in the holy land moved to america? If we point out how all religeons are flawed and that a flying spaghetti monster would make more sense, that means we need to grow up? I wouldn’t be suprised if this guy supports the Project for a New American Century( witch is just another right wing attempt to prove that america is the be-all and end-all of civilizations)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_American_Century
(btw i’m Canadian, and i think american soldiers are either the good kind who don’t like war/protest the war but fight because they have too or the bad kind, witch are just chritian fundies and sadists)
As a former soldier (disabled vet), I feel compelled to acknowledge a flaw in the original argument. Among the freedoms soldiers have died to both protect and advance, is the freedom of religion. As unpopular as it may be, this vital freedom includes the fundamental right to believe whatever you choose, including non-belief.
Furthermore, what is especially troubling to me is that, more often than not, those people who invoke “soldiers died for you right to…” and thusly appropriate my years of service as a rallying point for their personal beliefs, have themselves never served in the military.
WPoFD is a hero in more ways that one.
Great points.
Methinks the 101st Flying Keyboarders are looking for a little target practice. Chickenhawks are always crap shots, though…
