This idea or bullcrap that you invented is blasphemy and I do believe that you need to stop or you will burn in hell.

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
Doesn’t Christianity support religious toleration? By saying that we’re being blashphemous aren’t you being prideful and judging your fellow man? Last time I checked those were sins. It is not us Pastafarians, my friend, that are being blashphemous, but you. Perhaps someday you will see the err of your ways and allow the Noodly One to soften your heart.

Why would we go to hell for our beliefs which do not contain any ridiculous ideas about burning for eternity your hell does not exsist(although there is a place in Norway or something like that called hell) and so it is impossible to go there. Even if it did exsist it would be better than your heaven which involves nothing but endless servitude to an egomanical god but your hell would at least contain interesting people eg.Henry Morgan.

Stop what…?
Acting of ones own free will.
Borderline heresy!!!!
Theres a large difference between what you think and what you know.
And what you can prove… :P
I’m pretty sure we’ll all die and become inanimate matter. Hell’s reserved for the imaginations of those who can’t cope with the inevitability of their ending.

“…If all else fails though, pester him with emails to get him back, send him a petition, or better yet, an open letter :p.
Hell, just send him a transcript of the nic arguments on “if I were to shoot your wifeâ€. He’d be back like a shot….”
.
I miss J too, but I think he has well and truely earned a break. Let’s give him some time to recharge, then we’ll start pestering him if he hasn’t re-emerged.
Holiday to you J, if you are reading. :)
Actually, our blind faith is superior to yours.
And you know what the really great part is? The fundies believe that no matter how much of a bastard you are, you’re still going to Heaven, just as long as you believe in Jesus. That’s all it takes apparantly. So according to these crackpots, me and my mates who live reasonably cool lives, will end up sizzling for eternity at some level of a fiery afterlife, along with Gandhi etc….while that bastard who steals money from the poor and rapes children will end up in Heaven cos he believes in some guy who got nailed to a tree….I like FSM better to be honest. Bring on the pasta!!!!
Hey, he convinced me to change to pastafarianism, all other religions are too uptight, and besides, its more beleivable than scientology
produces far better merchandice too.^_^
When a person uses “blasphemy” and “burn in hell” in a sentence directed at another for believing in another religion, you KNOW he/she is a Christian.
Well, not necesarily. Could be a radical faction of almost any religion.
The funny thing is that people can be manipulated so easily. I eons ago created a character called “Bob, the cow god” (he was more like a demon but none the less). It was on a catholic retreat that he was created and was given a name and reputation. Every single person who was in my class basically worshiped this cartoon character after that retreat. All because we were bored. Sometimes if you say something funny or do something right, it will get a following. Even if it’s a joke. Like the FSM; I give him props.

Chinese whispers…….some of the best fun you can have with words.
Trouble is that the christians take their “chinese whispers” so literally and seriously.
The oddest part to all theism is that there is no existetential solid proof of it. Christians say the Nordic and other religions are wrong, and so do many other religions. I believe theism is an invented concept (excluding Pastafarianism) and that religions pantheons were created as a way for people to assure themselves of the supposed “meaning” of existence. I often notice that a conservative fundie will state, “I believe in tolerance and love, but if you do not believe my way you will burn and suffer in hell.” The latter section of the statement obsoletes the first.
I’m no pschologist but I often wondered if the whole supernatural entity thing was just an extension of the infant who sees the parents as gods, someone to take care of them. And when we get older we still have some need to believe in that higher power but in a more sophistcated manner. Just a thought.
I agree Mad John.
@MJK: That is Freud’s analysis. He wrote at least one short essay on the subject. The Judeo-Christian-Islamic god acts exactly like a psychotic and abusive father. This doesn’t fit other forms of religion that have no deity, or have many deities. For example Taoist’s get their religious inspiration from the universe as a whole, and their type of religion is also more mystical (in the ‘Varieties of Religious Experience’ sense) and also less rule oriented.
Joseph,
Turning your back on His Noodly Appendage is blasphemy. If you don’t watch yourself, your Beer Volcano is going to be spouting O’Douls. And your stripper factory will only produce dudes! (Unless you’re into dudes, then you’ll get chicks.) (But either way, they’re going to be fuglies.)
Am I the only person who thinks heaven would be the most boring place ever?
Oh, look what I said! Guess I’m going to hell!
Wait, I read Harry Potter! I’m definitely going to hell! See you all there!
P.S. The beer volcano seems to have sprung a leak.
To Mad John and Wench Nikkiee,
One theory on the beginnings of beliefs in supernatural netherworldly mumbo jumbo is that it was a result of early humans’ misinterpretation of dreams. Obviously, they didn’t know much about neuroscience back then. So, when people dreampt about someone who’d died, they interpreted it as that person actually visiting them from the great beyond.
To all the atheists on this blog,
Wow, I’d never heard of this whole Flying Spaghetti Monster thing until a crudely animated Richard Dawkins mentioned it in a South Park episode while trying to convert Mrs. Garrison to atheism. You atheists put almost as much effort into not believing as religious people do to the opposite. The only difference is that they’re self-righteous and you’re smug. Not that I care. I’m a die-hard agnostic. They talk about God and you guys talk about a Flying Spaghetti Monster while I could give a Flying F–k.
Later,
Brian B
ps. I’ll take you’re elitist smugness over religious violence any day. Just don’t do what the atheists in the year 2546 do.
pss. Watch those South Park episodes if you haven’t. You can download them here:
