You have GOT to be kidding me…seriously. The reason I ask, is because I truly wonder how you can conclude that a “Flying Spaghetti Monster†created and ordained life from before there was ANYTHING. I really would be interested to see your premises and conclusion in a semi-logical format. The other thing, is that I hope and pray that you realize your dreadful inaccuracy and pray that God would forgive you of your blasphemies. They are truly dishonoring at the least. Praying that you change,

i seriously can not believe that a man with a physics degree can waste his life inventing a stupid religion. im not one to disagree or judge any religions but a stipper factory in heaven is far from belief. Beer volcanoes, wow, you definetly must have been bored. I have a kid that comes to my school who posts your retarded website on Christian school walls and lockers. the only thing i believe is that you are a total mental loser with nothing better to do with his life, making the rest of the world look like complete idiots.

The thing is dude, inifinite monkeys on infinite typewriters, one of them would be eating a cheese sandwich whilst playing the drums.
Infinite universes, and there is a flying spaghetti monster, and somewhere your own version of god (ie a man with a beard) and he is probaly doing a hell of a lot more for his followers than the “allmighty” is on this plane of existance.

As for why we call him a monster, well… why not? We cant call him the flying spaghetti person, cos he aint a person. Monster is merely a term of respect for such a powerful being, and lets face it, a big blob of noodles, 2 meatballs, and 2 eyestalks is kinda monsterish (not -ous, just -ish).

i think that you people are simply failing to understand how the christian mind works. If all people were calculators then a christian would be one of those little blue ones you use in elementry school which can only add subtrack multiply right half of the time and is missing the division button. A Pastafarian is a slightly outdated scientific calculator which can preform most important functions to 10 digits. A person who advocates evolution is like a nice graphing calculator which can preform functions that half of the people using it don’t even fully understand. The little blue calculator is to simple to understand matricies or tangents.

It is so easy to mock and make fun of what others consider sacred. After reading the many responses on this site I am again convinced that Christianity has it right. “None are righteous, no not one”. Jesus was a real historical person. There is plenty of historical evidence to research about him. You think Plato and Aristotle were brilliant try reading the book of Romans in the Bible. Or try reading Aquinas or Augustine. Go to Monergism.com and pick out any number of great men who believed and have lived their lives serving the One God. Try doing a little research before you so loudly mock others who have spent their lives believing in the unseen God. Blabbering about what you do not understand is not a sign of anything but foolishness.

“Jesus was a real historical person. There is plenty of historical evidence to research about him. You think Plato and Aristotle were brilliant try reading the book of Romans in the Bible. Or try reading Aquinas or Augustine”
.
all of the above is true, there was a MAN called Jesus, who undoubtedly had some noodly ideas about not killing each other and so on. There’s proof to this effect. I’ve never argued against this, indeed i’ve yet to see anyone argue against this. what profoundly disturbs me is how we make the leap from there to being the son of god, or indeed t here neing a god. just because someone has a bright idea (and i include aquinas who has some great non theological works to his name) does not make the fact that theres a deity true, even if they say so.
.
Proof of one thing is not proof of another. Egyptian kings and queens definitely existed, there’s plenty of proof they existed – but were they living gods as they claim? proof of the first case is not proof of the devine.

Jim,
Telling us to do a little research before mouthing off is a little stupid, some of us have given examples of great knowledge and understanding of the bible, I have also manage to read through the Koran (I must admit to not having a great understanding). My relgious studies exam (GCSE) went swimmingly, as it was baised on Christianity and I’d had 16 year of Cathlic upbringing my understanding of the bible is strong.
.
Not only this but of late I have been hugely interested in philosophy. And it is not just me I know plenty of people on this site have great back grounds and intellectual points to be shared and discussed. And while not all posts, are intellectual the site policy of non-censorship stands, I must admit that a few of my posts have used abusive and unintellectual comments but I reserve the right to reply as I see fit when I see fit. Plus fighting fire with fire while not correct is fun.
.
This site is a great and entertaining way of getting across a point of view. The same way church sponsors used cartoonists to mock Darwin. Jim you should look at yourself and your own understanding of the point that is beuing made here to realise that it is not mocking for mockings sake but a protest.

Jim,

You are right that history is filled with men that served god and accomplished great things. They really didn’t have a choice did they? It isn’t too far back in history that to denounce God was a one-way ticket to the chopping block or worse. No doubt some of those great thinkers were sincere in their beliefs, but a little fact checking will show the number of sincere theists declines as the choke hold of the church loosens. Today, you will be hard pressed to find many true theists among the intellectual greats.
.
Incidently, there is good evidence from their own writings that many of the US Founding Fathers were not theists … deists perhaps, but not theists. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Paine and John Adams are among the obvious, but I doubt they were alone in their views.
.
As far as Aquinas goes, his ‘proofs’ are rarely cited today because the are easily proven flawed. The only one that is still used is the Teleological Argument, and I will gladly debate that with you since ID is what sparked this site.

“Jesus was a real historical person. There is plenty of historical evidence to research about him.”
As spider already mentioned, Jesus did exist and no one can deny that, not even us pastafarians. He is a historical person who had great ideas and tried to make the world a better place, but what is highly debatable and unable to be proven is whether he was the son of God. This, I find too hard to believe.
My seriousness is over, for I feel I have proven my point.
As for the FSM, He is clearly real and shall not be debated! I have been touched by His Noodly Appendage, and have seen the light of the pasta… FSM is just as provable as God, and I would like you to slurp your bolognaise on that one!
Prove this point, my fellow pastafarians!

In retaliation, where is your proof that your “God” created life? An ancient book that has been translated from it’s original text? Well, we have a book too, so you can’t use that. I can’t see how your beliefs are any more logical than mine. Hey, at least my beliefs taste good.

Look what i found while looknig through the topic.
You’re kidding… right? So you belive spagetti and meatballs created the universe. You believe food created the deep blue seas, skys, and human beings? Whats next, Dog crap creating the Earth? All this is is an act of boredom, just like Darwin. He believed an explosion created the Earth, let me ask you something, when has an explosion created anything, never it destroys things. Who ever came up with this idea, I pray God will show mercy on you when you stand before his throne. End of quote.
Ok Darwin never came up with the big bang theory, infact he believed the universe was made by god, and i dont think it was boredom that made him discovery evolution. Any way evolution has nothing to do with the big bang at all.

It is so easy to mock and make fun of what others consider sacred. After reading the many responses on this site I am again convinced that Christianity has it right. “None are righteous, no not oneâ€. Jesus was a real historical person. There is plenty of historical evidence to research about him.
`
I have always said that the “Elect Jesus Christ for God” campaign was a stroke of marketing genius. It really changed the face of information distribution and religious conversion technique as well. I consider this irrefutable proof that there was indeed a Jesus Christ. With you so far.
and You think Plato and Aristotle were brilliant try reading the book of Romans in the Bible.
`
Okay, I’ll bite. Any passages in particular?
`
Or try reading Aquinas or Augustine. Go to Monergism.com and pick out any number of great men who believed and have lived their lives serving the One God. Try doing a little research before you so loudly mock others who have spent their lives believing in the unseen God.
`
Okay, I bit… from the website:
Monergism: The view that the Holy Spirit is the only agent who effects regeneration of Christians. It is in contrast with synergism, the view that there is a cooperation between the divine and the human in the regeneration process.
Wait… what?
Monergism is a redemptive blessing purchased by Christ for those the Father has given Him (1 Pet 1:3, John 3:5,6, 6:37, 39). This grace works independently of any human cooperation and conveys that power into the fallen soul whereby the person who is to be saved is effectually enabled to respond to the gospel call.
`
Okay, so… God picked a few people out of the billions who have ever lived (144,000 if I recall correctly) and according to this website… those are the only people going to heaven no matter what the rest of us do.
`
Well, that’s a relief. Either I won the lottery or I lost it, and in the meantime, it doesn’t matter what I do! Beer and strippers for everyone!
`
Blabbering about what you do not understand is not a sign of anything but foolishness.

Indeed?

You are missing the point of Darwinism, before this it was a held assumption to make something complex you need something more complex.
.
Now Darwin blow this out the water, so the assumption can therefore no longer be used as an assumption.

“You think Plato and Aristotle were brilliant try reading the book of Romans in the Bible. Or try reading Aquinas or Augustine.”– Tried it. Found it rather boring, honestly. All those ‘thees’ and ‘thys’ and ‘burn in hells’….got old after the fifty millionth time, y’know?
-
“Go to Monergism.com and pick out any number of great men who believed and have lived their lives serving the One God.”–Super. Now you go and look up any of the thousands and thousands of great people who didn’t belive in god. Or who belived in some other god/ess/s altogether. What does that prove?
….Actually, not all that much. Who cares if Person A discovered some amazing thing and also happened to worship god? How does his being smart prove god is real? Also, may I just point out that tradition–belief in god–doesn’t automatically mean correct? Slavery was a tradition, shall we bring that back?

One thing I’d like to say:
How would you like it if I came into your church and tried to convert everyone? Rude? Obnoxious? Of course.
Besides. Who said that religion was filled with “premises and semi-logical conclusions?”
Isn’t the point of spirituality faith? That’s why they call it “believing.” You’re supposed to believe on faith, to [b]accept[/b]. The Bible, the Qu’ran — these are not semi-logical or filled with premises.
