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

I don’t think FSM would appreciate calling him primeval, when in fact he is very sensitive about his age, much less “prime evil”.
Seriously, there needs to be a idiot/malapropism spell checker.
And there is nothing sexual about the noodley appendage, you sicko!

Ok, I must do this before too many comments come up and do exactly what I’m trying to warn you about. Let us not forget the 8 I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts.
1.I’d Really Rather You Didn’t Act Like a Sanctimonious Holier-Than-Thou Ass When Describing My Noodly Goodness. If Some People Don’t Believe In Me, That’s Okay. Really, I’m Not That Vain. Besides, This Isn’t About Them So Don’t Change The Subject.
2.I’d Really Rather You Didn’t Use My Existence As A Means To Oppress, Subjugate, Punish, Eviscerate, And/Or, You Know, Be Mean To Others. I Don’t Require Sacrifices, And Purity Is For Drinking Water, Not People.
3. I’d Really Rather You Didn’t Judge People For The Way They Look, Or How They Dress, Or The Way They Talk, Or, Well, Just Play Nice, Okay? Oh, And Get This In Your Thick Heads: Woman = Person. Man = Person. Samey – Samey. One Is Not Better Than The Other, Unless We’re Talking About Fashion And I’m Sorry, But I Gave That To Women And Some Guys Who Know The Difference Between Teal and Fuchsia
For the rest of the I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts, consult a “Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Books”. If you don’t have one, then try getting one. Or look in the Discussion Boards. Just look them up somehow, then leave a comment.
Oh, and as my 2 cents to this person, I know plenty of people who celebrate Christmas purely for the fun. A Pastafarian has as much right as a Christian to celebrate. Just not as Jesus’s birthday.

Ok, they kind of lost me at the end there, so I’ll just say this: Christmas was a pagan festival (mid-winter or what they used to call it) which was appropriated for Christianity (as Nostrodamus said, Jesus’s birthday was in March), because everyone needs a holiday with lots of food and wine and getting crappy presents. Maybe we could go back to ask Thor to end the winter (or for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere, to end summer, or bring rain).

I am just going to hope that this was written by someone who has English as a second or perhaps third language, to think that this sort of disjointed vernacular comes from a native speaker is just too depressing.

I hearby declare to all peoples of this supremely crudulous population that I refuse to accept responsibility for any murders, crusades, persecution, and acts of despotism and barbarity. I blame Jesus. To insult him, Pastafarians conduct secret rituals, such as cooking spaghetti and meatballs for the purpose of consumtion. There Holier-Than-Thou-Ass, you have your explanation.
But the question still remains, is it any smarter than Jar Jar Binks?

The Origins of Christmas
The origins of Christmas go back to before the time of Christ when many ancient cultures celebrated the changing of the seasons. In the northern hemisphere in Europe, for example, the winter solstice, which was the shortest day of the year, occurs around Dec. 25th. These celebrations were based on the decline of winter. Since during winter animals were penned, people stayed in doors, crops didn’t grow, etc., to know that winter was half over and on its way out was a time of celebration.
In the ancient Roman system of religion, Saturn was the god of agriculture. Each year during the summer, the god Jupiter would force Saturn out of his dominant position in the heavenly realm and the days would begin to shorten. In the temple to Saturn in Rome, the feet of Saturn were then symbolically bound with chains until the winter solstice when the length of days began to increase. It was this winter solstice that was a time of celebration and exchange of gifts as the hardness of winter began to wane and the days grew longer.
December 25th specifically coincided the day of the birth of the sun-god named Phyrgia a culture in the ancient Balkans.
In the Roman Empire, by the time of Christ the winter festival was known as saturnalia. The Roman Church was unable to get rid of saturnalia, so early in the 4th Century, they adopted the holiday and tried to convert it a Christian celebration of the Lord’s birth. They called it the Feast of the Nativity. This custom has been part of western culture ever since.
The Christmas Tree and Mistletoe
One of the symbols of the life found in the celebration of saturnalia, was the use of evergreens. These plants which stayed green all year long, were often used in different cultures as symbols of life and rebirth. They were sometime decorated as a form of worship in some cultures in religious ceremonies dealing with fertility.
Mistletoe was considered a curative plant and was used in many ancient medicine recipes. The Celts even believed that the plant, which is a parasite that lives on trees, contained the soul of the tree it lived on. The Druids used Mistletoe in their religious ceremonies. The Druid priests would cut it up and distribute it to the people who would place the cuttings over the doorways of their homes. This was supposed to protect the dwellers from various forms of evil.

Excellent informative post Rowen. I knew the origin xmas celebration was originally to celebrate the arrival of the winter solstice, but not the details.
Thanks.

So if the Christian church did not adopt Dec 25th as the celebration of the birth of Jesus then Dec 25th would be a Phyrgia holiday? I’m not sure on that one but maybe.
I read recently an article in the WSJ recommending that the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus should be moved to a different time of year (June or something). This would end the “war on Christmas†once and for all. If this happened the end of the year could be adopted as the FSM holiday and would could all wallow in excessive consumerism, beer and strippers guilt free!!!
Oh, and @ the original poster. You had me at “HUH?â€.

I just ripped what i posted from another site. A quick search about druids and xmass reveals many pages. I dont know whats 100% right, but its safe to say a form of xmas with a evergreen tree occurred before Christ, and it is his followers who stole xmass. lets not for get the holy holly.
