If you are right, and evolution is the only answer, then we will all just be dirt-food when we die. But if you are wrong, and the intelligent design people are right and there is a God, then you’ll be in a tough spot.
By the way, did you ever read what the Kansas School Board had proposed? It doesn’t sound like it from your letter.

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 totally agree with you!!! finally someone has actually said something that i totally agree with and all of you who are arguing with it…a few words to you since i do beleve in God…i would just like for you to Read Revelations and read about what will happin to you when the world ends…it is not very fun..and i feel bad for you knowing that lots of you will be there and will suffer the consiquences and still will refuse to listen to God…i will pray for you..all of you..make fun of me i give you permission to but whos gonna be laughing when i see you suffer in the end…
Oh, Bobby joe, you have no idea. I have read revelations, and aside from being highly symbolic in a way I could not decipher, it was just a bummer. The funny thing is that I fully believe that the end of the world will not be pretty. I agree with you on that point. Carl Sagan, and other astronomers, contend that it is statistically likely that the Earth will be struck by an extraterrestrial object within the next 100,000 years. Such violent impacts, science tells us, were much more common during the Earth’s early years, and visible craters present on Earth now are evidence of more recent collisions. I personally doubt that mankind as we know it will exist on Earth in 100,000 years, but if it does, life as we have known it during this relatively peaceful geological period will most likely perish. I’d rather hear it from Carl Sagan, thank you. Also, I’d rather not be told that my soul’s disposition at the end of life on Earth is going to be determined by how willing or able I was to bow down in front of YOUR God. How arrogant and misguided of you.
Bobby joe,
Interesting. You feel sorry for us and are going to pray for us, butyou’ll be laughing when you see us suffer? Very interesting.

Anywho, I’ve read Revelations, but I think the bible was meant to be taken metaphorically, so I don’t really think that the events being predicted in the bible are actually going to happen. If you believe in god and the bible and everything and that helps you to be a good person and lead a meaningful life, then good for you. I mean that. However, please don’t condescend to me because I don’t believe in your god. I don’t believe that there is a god. You can’t refuse to listen to something that isn’t there. Well, I guess theoretically you could, if you’re schizophrenic, but I’m not so I cannot refuse to listen to something that doesn’t exist. I don’t believe in paradise or eternal suffering or any of that. I believe that when I die, that’s it. I am no more. So I want to make the most of my fleeting existence, and abasing myself before a nonexistent diety would simply waste too much of my precious time.

Unfortunately for you California Boy, we are right and we’ll all just be dirt, which sounds fine to me.
California Boy,
I could spend all year telling you why God does not exist but instead I am going to go in a different direction. I am going to tell you why us Atheist are better Christians than Christians so even if there was a God it will be the Christians the will be wollowing in hell whist we are partying.
It is simple really, as a God fearing person who totally believes that God watches his every move and that he will be judged when you preform an act of kindness you do it with an alterior motive to impress the (Gob)Almighty. Every choice, every action you make is with God in mind.
Now take the athiest, like the thiest they have no doubts to the fact that NO ONE is watching them and athiests don’t believe in the final judgement. So when they preform some act of kindness they do it without the expectation of a reward or judgement.
Now tell me little man who is the righteous!!!
Bobby Joe, Feel free to have a good laugh at my expense (in your good ‘christian’ way). I just cannot believe that there is a god. It doesn’t make sense to me. And don’t waste your time ‘praying’ for me. I’m sure you have better things to do.
You silly people! There is no such thing as “just dirt” ! The elements that make up you also make up the dirt! So the stuff that makes up me, makes up the grass and the cows and the air…etc. You see, if you are smart enough to be properly returned to the dirt, you will live forever because of a very efficient recycling program designed by nature! Long live Pirates!
so you telling me then that the reason u have faith in god is simply because you are scared of going to hell?? what a bunch of pussies (hate to insult you)…..please just stop killing in the name of ur god, (ie:holy wars) and take ur religion to somewhere that doesn´t infect our children and the rest of humanity.
i dont understand after “reading” revelations u could not understand what will happen to you…but i was just trying to help you go to a better place when u die and live a good meaningful life…but fine dont listen to me i have no controll of your thoughts and belefs but when ur eyes are buldging out of ur head and it is soo hot and you dont even have a drip of water for ur self and u cant die to get releif of the pain bc u are already dead…i really and truly feel sorry for you! i really do…i just hope that one day you will change ur mind…and even though you cant see God..dosnt mean that he dosnt exist…and have u ever seen budda, or the Flying Spagetti Monster…i ask you have you ever seen “it”?
Aw, darnit Bobby Joe, we couldn’t fool you! We didn’t really read the Bible, and we didn’t really read the Kansas School Board proposal, and that is because we CAN’T READ! That’s why we’re so hostile; we’re self-conscious. Shame on you for making us feel bad about ourselves and our learning disabilities. It’s kind of funny, though, that you ask if we’ve everseen the Flying Spaghetti Monster, because that implies that you’ve seen god. How is she, anyway? And you’re right; you wouldn’t want to be me when I stand before her (if it ever comes to that) because you would look RIDICULOUS in a miniskirt.
Bobby joe,
I do not need to believe in God, heaven, or hell to lead a good and meaningful life. I am living a good and meaningful life simply for the sake of living a good and meaningful life. I don’t need to be afraid of hell or a vengeful God to make me a good person, Bobby Joe. I am a good person because I do what I feel is right and I go out of my way to help and also avoid harming others. Really, if the only reason that you are trying to be a good person is because you’re afraid of going to hell, then you’re not really a good person. You’re a coward.

nyx- thank you, succinct, eloquent and in 3 syllables or less.
RAmen.
Not wishing to sound rude, but is there no way of working reincarnation into this belief, because I’d really like to come back as Brook Burns Bicycle Saddle. :)
What nyx said. Times thirty.
Contemplating the complete worthlessness of both our lives i struggle to find reason to take in that next breath, for you and me are but a squelch of static about to be tuned out… Complete waste of time is what are lives our. Absolute horror is what it is. Unless of course you have encountered a sizeable bowl of spaghetti bolognese dusted with fresh parmegian cheese accompanied by a full glass of Chianti. Then things aren’t so bad.
Im a christian/catholic the last person to want to come here… but, I come here because like you I also love the freedon to profess our religions to others regardless how ridiculous some of them may be… I post here to say before you decide to become a pastafarian or whatever look over the bible at least once and then make a choice… give both a chance. Cause I don’t know what you guys are saying but the bible just strictly says be kind to others… something I know no pastafarian can deny is right… but hey if you believe in the FSM more power to you! I however can honestly say Im sticking with my god…
The Thinker, I have read the Bible, and I have made my choice. Thank you.
“the bible just strictly says be kind to others…”–that and that it’s ok to stone a woman for adultery.
But thanks for being polite, and I assure you that I’ve checked the bible out and found it not to my liking.
And what if the Hokey Pokey IS what it is all about?
Then that means that it’s all hokey. I’ve been saying that for years.
