    @ All pastafarians, atheists, humanists, Brights, and free-thinkers,
    .
    Ahoy there!
    .
    I’m copying this post onto a few threads because I’d like as many people as possible to notice it. (Bobby, if you should read this, is there any chance of a new thread?)
    .
    You might have spotted on these pages Richard Dawkins’ high-profile references to the FSM, unmasking himself as at the very least an honorary pastafarian and certainly a friend of pirates the world over. He’s done his bit for the FSM – here’s a chance to return the favour.
    .
    His many books on evolution and, in particular, his recent book ‘The God Delusion’ have influenced a lot of people here.
    .
    Anyway, here in Britain, one of our national newspapers, The Daily Telegraph, in conjunction with Morgan Stanley, is running the third annual ‘Great Britons’ awards. People are invited to vote for the British person they think has been the most ‘Great’ (somehow) in each of seven categories.
    .
    Me salty guts tell me that a hearty lot of pirates’ll want to support their own and put their cutlasses behind Richard Dawkins, by far and away Britain’s noodliest man of 2006, and doubtless also he of the biggest meatballs.
    .
    I nominated him earlier today, in the ‘Campaigning’ category. You can add your nominations by visiting greatbritons.org. It takes barely a minute and might help one of the FSM’s finest sea-dogs to the gain the legendary status he deserves. You can even put in a 50-word explanation of why he gets your vote, which would probably strengthen the case (if you’ve anything to say). If you’d like to know more about him, try visiting richarddawkins.net.
    .
    Douglas Adams fans might like to note that Dawkins and Adams were close friends and that Adams credited Dawkins’ books ‘The Blind Watchmaker’ and ‘The Selfish Gene’ as having influenced his reasoning towards atheism. Dawkins wrote a ‘Lament for Douglas’ immediately after Adams’ death, and delivered a eulogy at his funeral.
    .
    I’ve a second reason for recommending this. The Telegraph ran an article by regular columnist Charles Moor on Saturday that dismissed ‘The God Delusion’ as ‘fashionable’ and gave a very selective, wilfully interpreted representation of its content. It’s a good newspaper but pretty thoroughly conservative – not an obvious place for pastafarianism to thrive. In light of this, I think it doubly worthwhile to demonstrate the strength of support that Richard enjoys among the world’s many pirates to the Telegraph.
    .
    (Note – I’ve left http:// off the website addresses in this post, as the first couple of times I tried to post it, it got stuck awaiting moderation. Hopefully this’ll help.)
    .
    Nominations for the awards continue until November 24th. If ye can spare a second of plunderin’ time, set a course for greatbritons.org and add your cannon to a broadside for free thinking and the FSM!
    .
    May His Noodly Appendage be upon ye all.
    .

    .
    “Briefly, and due in large part to my reading of Dr Dawkin’s recent book, “The God Delusion”, but also considering the current atmosphere where primitive and dangerous myths people still live by are threatening everyone’s freedoms and lives, I’d like to nominate Richard Dawkins for this award. His work, recent and past, sets an example for scholarship, courage, fairness, and integrity that no doubt will serve the field of biology and science in general well. In addition, his work will influence education and public discourse on these and related matters for years to come. His willingness to speak to the public on these matters sets him apart from many academics, and his ability to explain and defend his position in public forums is impressive.

    I’d like to be able to compare him to Carl Sagan, but Dr. Dawkins’s work promises to do much more than interest people in science. He speaks to issues that define our societies, and he is doding it at a time when we most need it.”

    You had a syntactical error in your LochNessLives function (calling the variable you used a double quote to open and a single quote to end), so I am afraid that while I ran it, I may have inadvertently created a loop, and there will be Loch Ness monsters coming to bathtubs near you. And you. And possibly even you.

    It’s funny though, some people are nice individually, but get them together as a group, or let them post anonymous comments on a website, and their niceness quotient drops as fast as their IQs…

    `
    Christianity would not be where it is today without exploiting the mob mentality. This is fairly well documented in the Bible; charismatic preachers travelling from town to town and physically going after people garnered the most converts. So Christians are used to the nice, safe anonymity of the mob. And often people who have embraced the tenets of Christianity without actually embracing the philosophy are unable to let go of their hatred of “the different.” So when they have the opportunity to cast the first stone with safety from accountability, they tend to do so.

    `
    Please note that I am not identifying all Christians as mob mentals. Why, some of my best friends are Christian! And they’re fairly harmless really. Good sorts who hardly ever feel the urge to extort, threaten, bribe, or manipulate people into their system of beliefs. Oh, and they speak and write rather literately. So let’s not throw all Christians under the bus eh?

    This is really interesting stuff, don’t you think. The Christians and Pastafarians love to taunt each other, each believing the adherents of the other faith are ignorant, short-sighted dullards who blindly accept one or the other teachings blindly. Isn’t this the problem with most, if not all, of the major organized religiions? The preaching of tolerance and the giving of none seems to be a defining characteristic. As such, are the radical Pastafarians any better in their behavior than the fundamentalist adherents of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and on and on?

    Perhaps the problem is greater than religion itself. It would seem that Human Beings, of any creed, race, or nation, or naturally given to “Us” vs. “Them” behavior. There would seem to be plenty of observable evidence for that. If the theory that we’re all going to seek out conflict regardless of circumstances is ture, it doesn’t matter what icons we worship, since we’ll create and then rally around the ones that we prefer, be it flags, sports teams or religious beliefs.

    I am Christian and I try not to taunt anyone, mainly because I’m quite aware of how ridiculous I am and spend most of my time laughing at that and futurama.

    That being said, I can see where you would discern a tendency in groups to define the opponent and then the subtle or overt war ensues. Livescience just posted an article discussing behavioral patterns which are considered ingrained within the human mind. They then supposed that to be why person use similar motions when reaching for food and what not. There is the possibility that the need to compete and the survivalist instinct is ingrained and that is what drives the desire to obliterate/stigmatize/blog someone interpreted to be competition or prey. The continuity of this behavior could be ingrained in the mind. Then considering that the survival is not for the individual but divined by group,then what you suppose about religion as not necessary to conflict makes sense.

    Nonetheless, I don’t necessarily believe that radical pastafarians are equal to the behavior of Islamic or Christian extremists. To me, in the mosaic of American society, it would seem that Christianity has a strong foothold that presupposes territory whereas pastafarianism is more individualized. In other words, it doesn’t necessarily seek to ‘convert’ to pastafarianism it merely seeks to prevent conversion to Christianity without choice.

    That being said this is great. I think I may make some spaghetti later.

    Ashes, that was a refreshingly lucid, level-headed post. Thanks. That being said, I must point out that I really resent the fact that because Christianity does have such a foothold, its followers are so bold in their assumptions about the rest of us. If we were able to look at human civilization in its entirety through time and cultures, wouldn’t we see that Christianity is one among thousands of belief systems, and that the Christian God is one among tens of thousands of deities man has dreamed up? Doesn’t that make Christianity the Faith of the Month, so to speak? With this in mind, I definitely do not want my children, or my society’s children, taught the current, popular religion as science. That’s the kicker for me. I don’t care if it’s taught, but it should not be taught as science. It should be taught in the proper context: Christianity, and its first cousin Intelligent Design, is one of many belief systems and is no more valid than any other just because it has many, many followers.

    You know, the assuming nature is very unsettling for me as well. We hosted a symposium on religion and morality and it was disturbing that so many people equate atheism with amorality. Although I must admit that I am always nervous when large groups form and start developing regulations to accomodate for innovation based on their own interpretation of text written ages before by people.

    Nonetheless I would like to point out that I am not a fan of intelligent design being taught in schools. It looks like persons basically attempting to shoehorn religious theology through the back door because the first amendment prevents it getting through the front. Also, I don’t believe that the number of followers lends a religion validity. If in fact what you choose to believe is based on faith, the number of persons joining you in that regard should be irrelevant. Likewise, the timing also should make no difference in a faith based situation. That being said, I wonder if religion is one of the habits ingrained as the article suggested. I mean you could certainly make the point if you grew up in a religious household, but how interesting would it be if there were in fact a dynamic to the brain that necessitated belief?

    Now, moving on to Cathie. You should probably read the rest of the post before you begin your next verbal tirade. I was posting in relation to a livescience article on scientific examination of ingrained human reactions within the brain. If you want to go post on some website somewhere feel free, I’m a big fan of the first amendment.
    I have not now, nor have I ever told someone who/what they should worship. Nor have I ever told someone they are going to hell. Although if that is their destination I will surely see them there. I have an excruciatinly flexible morality. Plus, I suffer a crisis of faith practically constantly, to attempt to persuade or even inform someone of Christianity well, it would smack of hypocrisy.

    Hi, Ashes,
    .
    Thanks for not taking umbrage to Cathie and leaving. If people like you didn’t come here and post, we’d all be sitting around in dumb mutual agreement until we got bored and drifted away. (I’d probably get some work done, too, which would spell The Beginning of The End.)
    .
    There was some discussion about the notion of evolutionary bases for religion on one of the other threads. I think I spouted a whole lengthy late-night rant on the subject (not rare). I’m also pretty sure that people have written books on the subject. (One of Daniel Dennett’s, possibly?) Whether there is specific ‘God gene’ or not, I find it highly likely that a combination of the pre-programmed mental processes that have evolved in us, leading us to work in groups and perceive the world around us in terms of ourselves, could overlap to create the ‘God-Shaped Hole’ that so many of us urgently want to fill.
    .
    This is one of the knockout blows to theism, for me. Once your grasp of the world has reached the point where you can more easily explain a believe in a non-existent god than the existence of a real god, you logically find yourself having to ask any religious faith you hold some pretty stern questions.
    .
    What’s nice is that, when you do decide that you’re an atheist, the sun still rises in the morning, the same people keep showing up doing the same things, and god conspicuously fails to smite you. And you can absorb the mind-blowing things we are learning about the world without a trace of metaphysical guilt.

    “Your all just KIDS.” “FSM can beat GOD”

    Wow! Such heavy use of acronyms (why else would these terms be in capital letters, right?). Yes we are KIDS if, by that, you mean Knowledgeable and Intelligent Disciples of the Spaghedeity. Thanks for the compliment. And while we all are aware of what FSM stands for it may not be clear, however, as to what GOD means. I must admit to having had no clue as to its meaning myself, until I conducted a little research. Here is what I found out:

    The only religious entity I found with the initials GOD, or something close it was; Dios de Gazpacho Ondeante (loosely translated this means God of the undulating, cold cucumber soup). Apparently, this a deity held in high regard by small reformist religion from Central America. The article I found about it was a little (and by a little I mean; a lot) fuzzy on the details, so I can’t really tell you anything about it. If anyone has any insight into this religion please let me know.

    And so to comment on “if you really think FSM can beat GOD…it already lost.” I beg to differ. Spaghetti is way more appetizing than gazpacho.

    By the way, might I suggest purchasing The Little Brown Handbook? It can be found in any bookstore I imagine (I found mine in my college’s bookstore). I too, used to suffer from bad grammar, but I found this book to be quite helpful. Good luck and FSM-speed.

    It would be wonderful if there was a “God Gene” (note the capital G for gene) and then we could simply take a pill that reversed that gene and suddenly everyone would wake up and start loving one another like brothers and sisters and peace would flourish and everyone could eat whatever they wanted. But I have to think that religion has been an evolutionary staple of our human diet propelling us to Noodly Goodness so we could learn how to get along well enough to have time in the tribe so we could invent the computer and Internet and waste our time eating hamburgers, which are making us sick. And that is what the war is coming to, (not between McDonalds and Olive Garden) but the fight between intelligence and moron-ism, only there are many more marching morons then us and no amount of Killer Tomato attacks are going to stop them in their tracks. If humans are to ever grow up and become more then an Oregano seed on the planet they are going to have to shed all vestegables of superstition and wake up and realize that we were always the God, god, Gog, Magog of life.

    Gleaned from the little I have read about this research.
    Firstly, it came out of a fairly reputable organisation: “Gene Structure and Regulation Unit at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda”
    Thing is, that a male and female each carrying two dominant copies of this gene are likely to meet up, say at a meeting of their chosen belief crowd, and be attracted (upbringing influences may play a large part as which crowd it is) to each other. If they were to marry and have kids, then the kids genome will already be stacked. Add the religous training to the mix and the circle goes on. I must point out that the researchers suggest that it is the interaction of the protein products, for which this gene codes, with those of other genes. They also suggest it affects overall tendency to spiritual leaning or questioning. So I guess, this implies, that the function of this gene could be involved in all areas of abstract questioning.
    It’s only a thought! I will get around to reading more background about it when I get a chance. I have a fairly strong interest in elucidation of gene function and gene interactions.
    Religion comes no where near the awe inspiring mechanations of natural biological systems.

    I have several problems with the ‘God Gene’ theory. The first is that it treats belief in a deity or a religious system (faith) as being the same as connection to the universe or religious experience. They are not the same at all, almost by definition. Religious experience does not demand faith. It is an experience that is so far removed from normal experience that it is indescribable, and like any experience, it does not require faith. It is just an experience. That means no beliefs, no practices, and no faith.
    .
    The genetic link is problematical. I’m not against the idea at all, but I think you would need a very large test group to support it. Then you would have to ask if the presence of a gene that predisposed people to religious experience has anything to do with the reality of the experience? I don’t think genetics can’t answer that question.
    .
    Finally, is the presence of chemicals in the brain corresponding with various mental conditions a cause or an effect? Are the chemicals present when people have a certain experience or do they produce the experience? I’m pretty sure clinicians don’t know.

    This is a little off topic, but it relates to the assumptions made by followers of “popular” religions like Christianity. The other day at work, I saw some people attempting to find somewhere to meet. Out of curiosity, I asked one of them what they were meeting about. I thought it might be something I could be interested in, or FSM forbid, a meeting I was supposed to be attending. One of the group told me they were journaling. I said, “Journaling?” I was confused because it seemingly had nothing to do with work. Then she said that they read some scripture and then journaled about what it meant to them. I said something like “Wow. That’s interesting.” Now, I don’t care that they were doing it at work, as it was during lunch. What bothered me was that they just assumed that nobody would be offended. Actually, I don’t think anyone should be offended. I don’t think they even thought about it from that angle at all. Yet, what would happen if I tried to organize and carry out a quiet discussion based on pagan beliefs? You better believe I would think about whom I might offend. I would also be very afraid of losing my job. I do talk about FSMism with one colleague because she “gets it,” but mostly I keep my beliefs to myself. For some reason, I seem to be working with a bunch of Christian churchgoers with deflated senses of humor. I must be needed there!

    By the way, I wasn’t equating Pastafarianism with paganism. I call myself a pagan because I don’t follow any mainstream religion. I’m a pagan in the sense that I don’t believe in Jesus Christ as my personal savior. I love telling Christians I’m a pagan. Most of the time, I say I’m not Christian, but when I’m feeling especially ornery I say I’m a pagan. One time, a co-worker asked me what I believe about my own salvation if I’m not a Christian. I told him that salvation meant nothing to me. That pretty much ended the conversation. I like this person, and we are still friendly when we run into each other, but I won’t even entertain the notion that I need his God for salvation. I won’t even discuss it.

    .
    Your right Fr. and it will probaby be many many years before we can even get the basic idea. Chicken vs Egg.
    There has been some elucidation of abherrant gene sequences relating to some mental disorders. This affects the level or the function of the gene product.
    Genes also code for, and maintain levels regulatory products involved in chemical messenger interactions.
    Stimulation could direct these regulators to stimulate/supress the level of end products OR the effect could be reliant on the ability of their products (example: how fuctional they are) to interpret the stimulation.
    Our knowledge of the interactions of enviromental stimuli, neurotransmitter production role in cause and effect is still in an embryonic stage. I think everyone agrees that the switches which are triggered by such stimuli are of the utmost interest.
    Possibly this gene was hinted at in some past research along those lines of enquiry.

    I believe in athletic gymnasium. I believe in nude power and maxing it out for strength. I do not agree with exhausting aerobics like the non-believers seem to think is the only way to keep a body in good working condition. I take it to the streets for a little “hand to hand” if someone thinks they can tell me MY way of getting to the meat of a problem is the wrong way to conduct business. I am in it to build on what was already put there by CHIRST ON HIS THRONE! And I am in it for raw muscle. Muscle and power. NUDE POWER!!! How can you forget that the one who gave us raw power and nude strength was a man who knows the meaning of working his meat? He knew what it was like to work his meat for the father and so I work my meat too. And I take it all the way to the top and into the streets if someone telle me not to pass go and collect my dues. We are all in it to win. Winning in the streets and working our meat for Christ because he gave a chance at something true (finally). I love athletic gymnasium!!!!! No women allowed because they will never be as true to JEsus as a raw, nude man full of power and strength, willing to kill for the lord.

    Come on. Buy in. It’s cheap. Two for the price of one. No! Make that three for the price of one. Father, son and holy ghost. So much man…

    Everyone loves a good old fashioned church scandle nikkiee. That story was begging to be leaked..didn’t you see his sinful lips working their pretty lies? Jesus is staying put and a pretty face along with some good detective work won’t change that.

    Come on “Nowtheworld” so on and so on…

    You were the one who wrote of “satire”, surely you understand it when you see it then right?

    Let’s try and get you saved!!!!

    And I don’t even have a dick…unless you are speaking on an evoloutionary level then I suppose I do in a way…hmmmmm. Yes, I think I do have one! Maybe I am a Christian after all!!!!!!

    Wanna buy a bag of pills?

    Love,

    Sorry it was all my “selfish gene” being activated. Fight or flight. I am just a lonely boozer who can’t spell trying to show off on-line because I am too ugly to show my face in public.
    Love,

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
