“Hi. I was just wondering if this is an actual religion or just an atheist sacasm movement? Thanks.” – Monica
Hi Monica, I guess for me, I’d have to be mostly atheist sarcasm, as I believe very strongly in science and other sensible things that are based on logic and reason.
At the same time, however, a certain part of me thinks well, what if it was ultimately a diety that we might call “God” that created the universe instead of just a spontaneous “horrendous space kablooie”? Well who knows? And maybe it was really a horrendous space kablooie, but in fact lit or started or whatever by a God? Well we can’t really know for sure, but we can keep observing the world around us and trying to learn as much as we can. And for my part, I’m going to keep the FSM theory around just in case we start getting evidence that there was some kind of supreme being that started it all… just because, assuming that evidence does surface, it seems a lot more logical than what Christianity, Islam, or a multitude of other religious are trying to teach you instead, because it supports the principles of science and using our brains to learn instead of just automatically believing what some idiot preacher told us at church.

Hi guys,
On a different note. Have many of you lot come across Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York? Among his many recent attempts to push his cause he has taken to describing people who don’t agree with him as Illibral Atheists, the matter that he was using as an excuse for this was that several years ago one city in the UK considered callin Christmas Wintervale instead, the idea was abandonned before it began. He’s also been making rather a big deal of some woman from British Airways who was told she couldn’t wear her cross outside her uniform, as I understand it BA have a ban on jewellery being warn outside of clothing.
Anyway being a resident of the fine city of York and an atheist I find his attitude and his regular attacks upon anyone who doesn’t agree with him rather annoying.

To be fair to this chap he has also banged on a bit about how the English are embarrassed to be English and allow every Jonny Foreigner to hole up in ‘Londonstan’ and spout there dogmatic crap. Good to hear from a Ugandan on the improtance of being English then. What I do disagree with is his stand on claiming England is rooted in Christianity when infact the Magna Carta was first drafted on sheets of dried pasta and enshrined ever serfs inalienable right to Heinz tinned spaghetti. This is a fact because some bloke called Paul of Tottenham Court Rd told me so. I didn’t ned to see the evidence ’cause he told me.

I’m not embarrassed to be English. We are the least religious country in the Western world, but at the same time the most tolerant and open minded. If you wanted to build a Cathedral to Patafarianism here, you could do, nobody would object. (In fact thats a bloody good idea!)
‘Londinistan’ happened because some Islamic nuts abused the principles of multiculturalism and tolerance and used the idea of respecting all faiths and freedom of speech to preach hatred of rival faiths and denounce freedom of speech. We should have seen it coming – our principles were used against us. We are having to revise our ideals because of them, which is annoying, but you live and learn.
I would rather have the problem of a few urban pockets of ultra-Islam than a wealthy, powerful and well organised christian conservative right wing like you have in the States right now. It’s brilliant to find such creative and witty resistance to it in the shape of FSM, I salute you from accross the pond!

I left the office a little late today and decided, unusually so, to skip my tradtional end-of-work beer. Last night my post-work-pint turned into a bit of a bender, as I was kidnapped by a Spaniard who kindly introduced me to the basics of his lanuage, which happens to be closely related to many Western European languages. Anyhow, I was waking home and I crossed a rather large, open square, the name of which escapes my rather temperamental memory, but I noticed that the square was gently sloped on all sides towards the middle, to facilitate drainage of course. I rapidly crossed the square and slipped into my local grocery store and picked up a half kilo of pork and beef mince, some fresh tomatoes, some closed cup mushrooms, an onion, some garlic and some spaghetti. I cut the onion in half, slice the tomatoes and half of the mushrooms, and then blend them in the food processor with half a clove of garlic and some paprika. I gently fry the other half of the onion, with the rest of the mushrooms and garlic, all diced. After they have been slightly browned I add the beef and pork mince (beef and pork together add a somewhat more enjoyable flavour I find) and wait until it has browned before adding the sauce. Then turn the heat down and leave to reduce while cooking the pasta, adding salt to both, and a dash of wine or stout ale to the sauce. After ten minutes the pasta is ready and I sit down to enjoy the first spaghetti bolognese I have had in months. Feeling very full, I light my digestive cigarette (apparently a cigarette after dinner promotes a breathing pattern that is condusive to digestion) and begin to contemplate the days events over a cup of mint tea. Then it hits me. Proof of both Intelligent Design and Evolution. Evolution: Spanish and English, as well as French and Italian, share many similarities, in fact you can directly trace the roots of modern French back to Latin, basically a completely different language, and thus we have proof of evolution, thanks to my Spanish acquaintance. As sentient beings, we have evolved over the ages, even if only on a societal level (though there also appears to be proof of physical evolution, we have grown taller and our skulls are becomng narower, but that is by the by, evolution has been proved) to optimise and ameliorate our communicative skills, as well as adding our own personal touches (slang) to the language, thus EVOLVING into the cultures that we now see prevailing in Western Europe. As for intelligent desgin, well some clever guy realised you save a lot of hassle and mess by sloping the sides of your squares and putting a drain in the middle and hey presto! your drainage needs are solved and you don’t need to worry about puddles appearing everywhere. Now THAT’S intelligent design if ever I saw it. Sorry for that. Just felt touched by the Noodly Appendage and had to share.

Hope you enjoyed the recipe for bolognese too, I guess as Pastafarians we should share our knowledge of the art of creating the divine dish of sustenance, and introduce each other to the new and wonderful ways in which pasta can be served, kind of like the Ten Condiments.

Freds delicious and amusing antics have reminded me of my own pasta apiffical experience. I was draged by my friends to a small french resturaunt they had been frequenting. I had one of the finest plates of pasta know to man: angle hair pesto. It was quite evident that the noodles were homeade, as the texture was noticably finer. The pesto was made with garden grown basil, and various exotic spices which names eluded me. I knew after consuming the glorious meal, that the amusing thing they said to me before going was true.

Hi Guys,
As a Brit I love my country and I’m very disturbed when I see the creep back of religion into places it has no right to be. I’ve long believed that the only good religion is a dead religion.
As has been mentioned by others we have an increase in the number of faith schools in the UK, these schools have their ciriculums dictiated by the government, but can be altered to suit the faith involved. It should also be pointed out that these schools are not paid for by the faiths in question but by the government from our taxes, so basically we are paying to have children indoctrinated into faith. It has been proven that faith schools are devisive, just look at what happened in Northern Ireland where children where either brought up catholic or protestant. I make no claims of innocence for Britain when it comes to Ireland, though many Americans have much to answer for in their funding of terrorist groups. But those troubles would have been sorted long before if there had been more common ground and understanding. Bringing children up together in mixed schools has been shown to help. The more they see of different people around then, the less they see the difference and the more they see the people.
I suppose I should also mention that in recent surveys about two thirds of the british electrorate opposed faith schools.
Though if Bobby ever managed to make enough money he could actually found a City Academy in Britain based on FSM.
We sit in front of our PCs and talk about what’s wrong with the world, wouldn’t it be nice if we could funnel some of that energy and really change the world.
PS Bobby, some of us are using public access pcs and could do with a sign off function so that we aren’t leaving our account open to abuse. Thanks

The UK used to be a fantastic place and looking at the rise in secularisation it could’ve been potentially great with a rational and scientific explain of society and the world. However, looking at demographic studies by people such as Kaufmann, it seems as if there’l be a re-sacrilisation of this society because religious people tend to have higher birth rates than atheists. Following this logically it means that if the offspring of the religious people continue to follow their parents’ religions (either blindly, by questioning using what they think is rationally or just by being indoctrinated (as stated in Chapter 1 of “The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins)) then the theistic population will once again rise.
Also, if you look at the growth of NRMs (New Raligous Movements) and NAMs (New Age Movements) then this shows that religion and blind faith are still prominent in society. I would like to further point out that some NRMs can be extremely harmful to the individual e.g. Jim Jones and the People’s Temple and also the Life Foundation – http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,,1951502,00.html .
Something for you to ponder and debate here – the other day i asked my philosophy teacher if she that is was possible that if some people who believed in religion that had been indoctrinated into believing in that particular religion (contemporary example of Islam and a classical example of Catholicism). Her reply was that she believed that she found religious indoctrination (or any kind of indoctrination)acceptable if the indoctrinated person was morally acceptable.
The following day the philosophy class were having a discussion about what God is and whether it is possible for it to exist and the inconsistant triad. Again, I put my hand up to answer. This time I used His Noodliness and Pastafarianism as an example to explain my point about the illogicity of belief in God. My teacher replied “Well, I’ve never heard of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and because it sounds so silly (noodly appendages and noodles in the sky) I doubt that your argument has any validity.” My reply was “Pastafarianism is a legitamate religion and haas over two million followers, how can you not say that it is valid?” Then she blanked me and moved onto another person in the class.
Now, forgive me for thinking this but if we have people teaching “philosophy” (or rather theology – as we are generally being taught our teacher’s watered down version of Catholicism), a subject where a person is meant to explore all avenues and use the strongest arguments to find the truth (as science does), what hope is there for developing our ideas if teachers like this are allowed to preach their religious views and masquerade it as philosophy?
Just a few thoughts there, your replies would be most welcome.
Thanks, Brad.
May His Noodliness have mercy on us all.

I’ve seen what indoctrination can do to people, I’m sure everybody here has. In know way do I think it’s a good thing for any religion to be allowed to indoctrinate people and the state should most definitly not help them.
In the UK Dr Sentamu has again been calling for religion to take a stronger control influence and control of law and politics. He seems to be calling for the start of a theocracy. The last time we had that kind of thing in this country was over 400 years ago and it lead to suffering and executions on a mssive scale. It’s almost ironic that Sentamu chooses to quote William Pitts on the abuse of power. Personally I see Dr Sentamu as the publicity officer for a failing business. The Church of England is loosing followers fast. The only churchs in this country that are growing are the scary evangelical ones, like the Calvery Chapel that my own brother belongs to. Though the growth of evangelical churchs is still less than the growth in atheism.
I recently found myself arguing online with someone who claimed that Dr Sentamu spoke for the majority of this countries population, this particular individual would not answer me when I asked him what gave him the right to claim know what the majority think. Ironically this person was also an avid supporter of the BNP.

sorry, mr. Frodo, shall I go to mass tonight instead of sleeping? mabye I should spend my sundays going to THE SAME christian church watching and listening to the SAME BORING services based on the SAME 2000, no wait, 1600? year old book, giving money to a charity which will help confuse others and pull people away from the important things in life like fighting disease at the risk of some DEAD 2000 year olds, who no longer have the brain to think, to think that we are going against the SAME old gods laws…
PS theres a church round the corner, bloody CoE, with a painting above the door (its a huge one too) showing jebus burning down a completely metallic city (and those who are trying to protect it) and a select few running to the green grass around it… is that the kind of thing you stand for, because that painting is an act of terror, I used to be scared of that thing as a kid. terror is the sword of the christians, and the muslims, and perhaps the jews aswell. So you see, our time may truly be productive, If we can bring people to mock you and ignore you, your methods of trror will be made useless and lame like your president, and people will be able to choose their religion by themselves, no forced religion from parants, or peers, or propoganda, just comedy, and humour and laughter will rule the religions, and philosophy and your way of life. so can you yet see, mr.frodo, you are holding us back, watch some blasphemous comedy and learn some blasphemace science…

Religion has always used fear and terror to get their way.
I did hear that at one point some sections of the early church used teach reincarnation. They stopped when they realised that it didn’t scare people into giving them money. So they stole the ideas of Elysium and Tartarus from the Greek mythology and grossly simplified it to give them Heaven and Hell.
As to the origins of the bible, anyone want to tell me why the earliest versions of the new testament that I’ve ever heard of come from the 2nd century? Why is there no gospel according to Jesus, if he was a rabi and a teacher as was claimed then he should have been able to read and write in several languages.
By the way, yes Hexhunter the Jews have used terror, look at the old testament and you will find many cases of it. Jericho is a prime example. Anyone with a reasonable knowledge of military engineering could tell you that what they actually did was march round the walls making a racket while they had a bunch of people undermining the walls, but telling their enemies that their god is powerful enough to tear down a city walls is much more useful. It keeps your enemies afraid of you.

Quite true, my UK brothers Jon E, H. narans, and brad. The Troubles are more than simply a religious one, or a political one, and education is surely the key. The good news. Tony Blair is on his way out, for whatever reasons. Is this time to rejoice? Maybe the new PM will be the catalyst for positive change, maybe not. Time will tell, as they say. Only His Noodly Master knows for sure.

For brad, thanks for the gaurdian link. Sad wot religion can do to some people simply looking for meaning in their lives. But I’m afraid the UK has a long and storied history of atrocities on a much grander scale that we are still trying to live down. I won’t go into detail here, but having said that, is one of the reasons I left Old Blighty for The States. Little did I know wot crap politics I would find here. At least we have room to spread out. Finally, have you signed Richard Dawkins petition to rid the UK of secular schools? This new movement of introducing ID into schools is pure bollocks! I don’t have the link readily available, but I would be glad to if you request.

Haven’t seen the Dawkins petition yet, but I will happily sign it. I’ve already had a go at the organisation behind trying to introduce ID into UK schools, they call themselves Truth In Science, though personally I’ve taken to calling them Lies Instead Of Science. One of their founders is a friend of my brother, who is completely taken in by this nonsense, I had asked them a few questions using a far more anonymous tag than the one I use here. All I got back where the usual lies and claims of having real science to back up their claims. I’ve still to see and science that backs up ID.
One thing that’s been bouncing round my head for a while is the irriducable complexity of the mouse trap. Behe didn’t really think this one out to well. All the parts for the mousetrap were pre-existing and also if you look at a mousetrap doesn’t it remind you of a simplified crossbow, and from there we can say that it’s descended from the bow, through slings and stick throwers to the spear and then the thrown rock to the rock in someones hand and eventually to the fist.

@ Brad – That link about the Life Foundation was scary, particularly because I can see how someone, even myself under a different set of circumstances, could become engangled in such a group. I have apparently had a semi-cult experience by attending 12-step meetings for years after I stopped drinking alcohol (and other mind-altering substances.) I recently saw a website that lists the ways A.A. is a cult, and, although the Fellowship absolutely does good things for people, it really does seem to have a lot in common with bonafide cults. I never really fit in at A.A., because I refused to give up my entire life in the pursuit of only Fellowship-related activities. I had a dream once that I went to an A.A. retreat and they took away my clothes and put me on an island of bleachers in the middle ofa huge gymnasium. In that dream, my worst fears were confirmed, that A.A. was a cult. Well, anyway it helped me to stop living the way I was living. It’s almost 19 years later, and I still am “clean.” I haven’t been to a meeting in years, and I consider myself just a normal person. I feel poorly for Paul because at one time or another in many people’s lives, we desperately need help. When that help turns destructive it is like a double-whammy of sadness and pain.

RE: SaucyWench
The scary thing is when you look at modern day cults is that looking at older cults, they become denominalised, such as Methodism (Christianity). In fact all major world religions at some point would, using contemporary classifications, have been classed as a cult. This shows that a few factors may have happened:
a) The cult has watered down it’s beliefs and values e.g. Christianity.
b) The “extreme” values of the cult may have been accepted within society.
c) The cult has gained political power and taken control off the state e.g. Nazism.
Whilst I am saying this, I think I need to may the point that I am not saying that all religions/denominations are negative as some can offer positive things such as tension management. However, looking at the older cult type groups and the power, status and recognition that they have received it is easy to see where some modern day cults could possibly end up in the future.

I quite liked what you said about doing something J, though sadly I don’t have time to rread all theposts on here, I suggest, with Bobby’s permission/endorsement, the first meeting of the Pastafarians, where we can start to make this movement progressive. Bobby might have started it to stop the teaching of unproven scriptures as fact, but I think it would be a very good idea to devote some time and energy solving the problems of today. Part of my job is event management, and I would be more than happy to help plan this event, though of course only if the FSM wishes it. After the nitty and gritty we can always bring out the beer and pasta.

I agree with all comments about UK faith schools being a backward step, I am totally against them. I am pleased to say my Daughter’s school is nominally C of E (which is a default setting for UK schools, meaning no actual religion, or arguably a weak wishywashy one). What disturbs me a bit is that the pre school curriculum for a 3 year old includes lessons on every tradition from every major religion, they just did a load of stuff on Diwali, which is a Hindu thing (er…or is it Sikh? Indian at any rate). The idea seems to be to include all faiths and traditions in order to be fair; whereas of course the easiest and fairest way to handle religion is to take it out of schools altogether, like the French do.
It also seems to be the case that religion and religious groups are on the rise in the UK, which is another backwards step. I am consoled by something Dawkins wrote which was that if you added all the athiests together they would form a lobby of equal or greater influence than any faith group. Are we motivated enough to be organised, I wonder.

“What disturbs me a bit is that the pre school curriculum for a 3 year old includes lessons on every tradition from every major religion”

Actually, if done correctly this seems like a very good idea to me. I’ve always been upset that when religion enters schools it always seems to be Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. Where does Buddhism, Hinduism, and Pastafarianism fit into all this? If you learn about many different religions, it will give you a better understanding of different cultures and the world as a whole.
.
“Dawkins wrote which was that if you added all the athiests together they would form a lobby of equal or greater influence than any faith group. Are we motivated enough to be organised, I wonder.”
.
One thing you should ask yourself is would this lobby be any better than the faith groups. If the goal is to keep theists from forcing their beliefs into places they don’t belong, then I would be all for it. If on the other hand, it starts trying to force Atheism on others, then they’re no better than the faith groups. I would be very critical of them if they tried using political power to outlaw churches, street evangalists, etc.

It would be safest to have an entirely non-partisan lobby, promoting nothing other than the tolerance of all creeds, or lack thereof, a lobby that entitles each and everyone to their own opinions, and one which seeks to ensure that people aren’t pressurised by persons or institutions seeking to force their will on others.

I disagree that the teaching of all faiths in UK schools is of value. Nowhere in the curriculum is it taught that these various religions are all based entirely on *fantasy*. Dawkins makes much of the major religions’ expectation that they should be accorded respect, and society’s willingness to do so, when there is no rational reason why we should. If this is true, why are we colluding with the fundamentalists and allowing our children to be taught to show respect to these delusions? As long as the societal taboo of “thou shalt not mock, or even comment on, another’s delusional faith” remains unbroken, these organisations will continue to have an undue, unwarranted and dangerous level of influence over our lives and politics.

I reckon it should be taught, it seems ridiculous not to teach people about a phenomenon that has endured since before recorded history, but it should be taught objectively as a study of literature and sociolgy, and not forced on people. People should be free to make up their minds, just as they should be free to choose what they study, and faith schools, although potentially a “time bomb waiting to go off” can also, if managed properly, can simply create a proper environment for like minded people to debate and question their beliefs, as well as further their study, unlike mixed faith schools where prejudice and bullying can arise due to someone’s personal choices.

Option (a) is acceptable, but option (b) simply is not. While I do not believe any religion is actually right, I also can not deny the possibility that they are completely wrong. In the end making teachers denounce all religions will make you no better than the fundamentalists and will upset some teachers who will fight back an just cause more trouble.

I will continue to hold the belief that teaching students about the worlds major religions is not a bad thing, if only for gaining perspective of other cultures. It also gives them choices in what they want to believe, which should be a personal choice.

I don’t agree with faith schools. It’s bad for everybody. I mean, the kids at the faith school are isolated from other religions while the kids at the secular schools don’t know how to deal with people that have faith.
.
The second reason is that they breed intolerance by two methods. The first is the obvious indocteration into hatred on religious grounds that is rumoured to occur.
.
The third is not so obvious, but faith schools hinder religion (this may be a plus point). My mother went to a catholic school run by nuns. Apparently it was terrible, the students were bullied day in day out by the nuns and when she left she had developed a terrible revulsion of religion. When we ask her now if she would be more disappointed in her kids if they were religious or gay she refuses to answer. I thought that this was an isolated incident confined to the UK or at the most the western world until one day when I was speaking to a Hindu friend (and the only reason I know anything about Hinduism) he divulged that his mother had a deep seated hatred of Christians because she went to a convent school on the other side of the world, where she was bullied by nuns on a regular basis.

Sometimes isolation is better, as it stops children from sacrificing their private beliefs due to peer pressure or violence from others. It only breeds intolerance and hatred if led by the intolerant and hateful and faith schools can of course hinder education or religious progression, but again only when mismanaged, and bullying is in no way part of religion, hence the nuns that perpetrate these acts are quite clearly not educated in religion. Religion is no bad thing, except when placed into the hands of vicious people, but this is true of anything, money, politics, charity, technology, even education. There is no hateful religion, only hateful people.

Whilst the whole time using pseudo-scientific dogma to endorse their claims.
@Parmasanity
your observations about C of E schools may be true of some but at the one i went to i was singled out as the only non chrisrian in the school and ridiculed in front of my peers by the teachers for being decended from monkeys. I was also told that i would go to hell for not beleiving in god. Seems like pretty hard core stuff to tell a small child to me.
@Fred
while i do agree with you that many religous people are well meaning and it only becomes hatefull when being manipulated by hatefull leaders i do not agree that “it is no bad thing”. surely all misinformation (e.g. religion) is a bad thing and can only hinder the progress of society whilst leaving many decent people easily manipulated by their unscrupulous and/or insane leaders.

While such religions are not included in my bad list (my apologies for the earlier generelisation) i see no need for them as i beleive that a proggresive and conscienscous society can function very well without any form of religion. That is not to say that i do not beleive in their right to live their lives this way, because i absolutely do, but it seems to me that any religious overtones, no matter how worthy the ideals behind them are ultimately pointless extras which are still open to manipulation

I never understood the point of faith schools in the first place. Religion is taught–some would say indoctronated–to you by your parents, your temple/church, so on; it’s your own decision after that as to whether you actually believe or not. It’s a personal choice, so I can’t see how it fits into a school situation at all. After all, if you limit yourself to only being around people of your religion, then you’re hardly gonna be prepared for the real world once your schooling is up. The only times religion should be mentioned at ALL in school is in a world history type of class, where they make up an important part of what you learn, or a class where the entire purpose is to discuss topis such as religion. Having an entire school for a certain faith seems to me to be a complete waste of tax money.

one of the reasons that faith schools, and faith in general are succesful, i beleive, is that they lay claim to basic human morality i.e. “christian” values and mix these basic ideas in with their own dogmatic convictions. Thus when a child is exposed to other beleif systems as they get older they feel that these new systems cannot offer morality of any sort. Furthermore it becomes difficult for the individual to distinguish between dogma introduced by the prejudice of their religious leaders and human morality which evolved long before religion

I’m not suggesting that teachers should be made to “denounce” religion, more that RE should be taught in the same way that we teach Greek mythology – as an outmoded view of the world, of literary value but little more. If a teacher is of sufficient religious conviction to not want to teach in this way, they’re the wrong person to be in the job anyway, since people of such strong religious conviction will, by and large, view conversion as a moral duty.

I was Wiccan, for a while. I found the head-ology of it too easy to abuse, though – and therefore, I caught myself becoming very manipulative of other people, so I quit before I became a bad person ;-)
.
Please note – the “bad person” part was nothing to do with Wicca, it was to do with me being a cynical s.o.b. Nowadays I view it as being as misguided as any other religion.

I always have loved learning about ther religions, specially the ones with more than one gog/godess. I even read some of the bible, but I stopped when all the inbreeding got to be too much.
On a side note, in the story of Joseph and that coat, the whole story could be seen as hinging on this random guy standing in a field saying “they went that way”. Seriously. Think about it. No random man, no Joseph getting locked up, no survival of egypt, the very sands of time melted into glass! This is a very helpful story to think about when you feel you’re life has no meaning. All you have to do is be some random guy standing in the middle of a field saying “they went that way”, and you change the world. Sorry, just had to share that. I sugest you look it up, it’s rather odd.^_^

He was singing “This Land Is My Land” and he just STOPPED in the middle and went off on this long winding story about joseph, took about ten minutes, then at the end made that point about the random man. Then he finished the song. I looked it up when I got home, there it was! The random man. Just felt it was funny enough to share.
Although it would have been funnier if I mentioned where I heard it. Oh well. Now you know.

The trick is…. to slowly let the grape juice flow from your forehead, over your nose, and
drip in to your mouth. As far as the grape skin, you should then save the skins, dry them out, and then carefully do something with them. I’m not sure what though?
Since I’m working off this hangover, I’m just not on top of things at the moment!
Give me a while though, and I’ll remember what you should do with the dried out skins.
Unless someone else can tell you, before I remember?

EYE sha,
.
I applaud your open-minded and peaceful attitutude… but (had to be a but coming) I can’t agree with you on this:
.
“AND islams number 1 rule is dont kill or you are not a muslim. THEREFORE extremeists are not actually islamic, THEREFORE its not our fault.”
.
This statement sounds like the same thing a moderate Christian would say about Christianity. Both religions when moderated by contemporary societal standards become markedly more peaceful. However, this is not because their respective religious texts are inherently peaceful. Both the Bible and the Qur’an are filled with passages that call for horrendous acts of violence.
.
Islam and Christianity are NOT peaceful religions. Secular moral standards can moderate them to the point that they become peaceful, but in their raw literal forms they are both violent and intolerant.
.
That said, let me end on a positive note. It is always to great to see someone from another faith visit here with an open mind. Kick up your feet. Have a beer (we won’t tell). Pick out a nice seat near the stage. Then sneer a bit and practice saying “Aaarrggg!”

It has occurred to me that, since it has been centuries since the holy texts of Islam and Christianity were originally written, it is perfectly likely that some crazy swine intent on making a profit/war out of religion m,ight have edited the texts at some point. With Christianity it is almost a fact. Not so sure about Islam. Either way, if you only see the good in the religious texts, and don’t abide by the “Flaming Sword” parts, we all do just fine. It’s mostly just the pugnacious ignorant and idiotic that cause the problems.

Poor Nikkiee. To never know the joy of a s’more. S’mores are traditional campfire treats made by sandwiching chocolate and roasted marshmallows between graham crackers. They taste so good you just have to have “s’more”.

Nikkiee, one should always sandwich a perfectly-toasted marshmallow, still hot, between the graham crackers. If you’re really enterprising, you can put the chocolate bar (Hershey’s, usually) on a spatula and melt it slightly before putting the marshmallow on it. Of course, timing is everything.

Hi Monica, I guess for me, I’d have to be mostly atheist sarcasm, as I believe very strongly in science and other sensible things that are based on logic and reason.
At the same time, however, a certain part of me thinks well, what if it was ultimately a diety that we might call “God” that created the universe instead of just a spontaneous “horrendous space kablooie”? Well who knows? And maybe it was really a horrendous space kablooie, but in fact lit or started or whatever by a God? Well we can’t really know for sure, but we can keep observing the world around us and trying to learn as much as we can. And for my part, I’m going to keep the FSM theory around just in case we start getting evidence that there was some kind of supreme being that started it all… just because, assuming that evidence does surface, it seems a lot more logical than what Christianity, Islam, or a multitude of other religious are trying to teach you instead, because it supports the principles of science and using our brains to learn instead of just automatically believing what some idiot preacher told us at church.

Hi guys,
On a different note. Have many of you lot come across Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York? Among his many recent attempts to push his cause he has taken to describing people who don’t agree with him as Illibral Atheists, the matter that he was using as an excuse for this was that several years ago one city in the UK considered callin Christmas Wintervale instead, the idea was abandonned before it began. He’s also been making rather a big deal of some woman from British Airways who was told she couldn’t wear her cross outside her uniform, as I understand it BA have a ban on jewellery being warn outside of clothing.
Anyway being a resident of the fine city of York and an atheist I find his attitude and his regular attacks upon anyone who doesn’t agree with him rather annoying.

What I do disagree with is his stand on claiming England is rooted in Christianity when infact the Magna Carta was first drafted on sheets of dried pasta and enshrined ever serfs inalienable right to Heinz tinned spaghetti. This is a fact because some bloke called Paul of Tottenham Court Rd told me so. I didn’t ned to see the evidence ’cause he told me.

I’m not embarrassed to be English. We are the least religious country in the Western world, but at the same time the most tolerant and open minded. If you wanted to build a Cathedral to Patafarianism here, you could do, nobody would object. (In fact thats a bloody good idea!)
‘Londinistan’ happened because some Islamic nuts abused the principles of multiculturalism and tolerance and used the idea of respecting all faiths and freedom of speech to preach hatred of rival faiths and denounce freedom of speech. We should have seen it coming – our principles were used against us. We are having to revise our ideals because of them, which is annoying, but you live and learn.
I would rather have the problem of a few urban pockets of ultra-Islam than a wealthy, powerful and well organised christian conservative right wing like you have in the States right now.

I left the office a little late today and decided, unusually so, to skip my tradtional end-of-work beer. Last night my post-work-pint turned into a bit of a bender, as I was kidnapped by a Spaniard who kindly introduced me to the basics of his lanuage, which happens to be closely related to many Western European languages. Anyhow, I was waking home and I crossed a rather large, open square, the name of which escapes my rather temperamental memory, but I noticed that the square was gently sloped on all sides towards the middle, to facilitate drainage of course. I rapidly crossed the square and slipped into my local grocery store and picked up a half kilo of pork and beef mince, some fresh tomatoes, some closed cup mushrooms, an onion, some garlic and some spaghetti. I cut the onion in half, slice the tomatoes and half of the mushrooms, and then blend them in the food processor with half a clove of garlic and some paprika. I gently fry the other half of the onion, with the rest of the mushrooms and garlic, all diced. After they have been slightly browned I add the beef and pork mince (beef and pork together add a somewhat more enjoyable flavour I find) and wait until it has browned before adding the sauce. Then turn the heat down and leave to reduce while cooking the pasta, adding salt to both, and a dash of wine or stout ale to the sauce. After ten minutes the pasta is ready and I sit down to enjoy the first spaghetti bolognese I have had in months. Feeling very full, I light my digestive cigarette (apparently a cigarette after dinner promotes a breathing pattern that is condusive to digestion) and begin to contemplate the days events over a cup of mint tea. Then it hits me. Proof of both Intelligent Design and Evolution. Evolution: Spanish and English, as well as French and Italian, share many similarities, in fact you can directly trace the roots of modern French back to Latin, basically a completely different language, and thus we have proof of evolution, thanks to my Spanish acquaintance. As sentient beings, we have evolved over the ages, even if only on a societal level (though there also appears to be proof of physical evolution, we have grown taller and our skulls are becomng narower, but that is by the by, evolution has been proved) to optimise and ameliorate our communicative skills, as well as adding our own personal touches (slang) to the language, thus EVOLVING into the cultures that we now see prevailing in Western Europe. As for intelligent desgin, well some clever guy realised you save a lot of hassle and mess by sloping the sides of your squares and putting a drain in the middle and hey presto! your drainage needs are solved and you don’t need to worry about puddles appearing everywhere. Now THAT’S intelligent design if ever I saw it. Sorry for that. Just felt touched by the Noodly Appendage and had to share.

Skittles, I don’t think that anyone here would desire for a supporter of the one true religion(even one who happens to be a non-believer) to leave. I’m glad that you’re not easily offended, as it shows that not all religious people are so weakminded and insecure in their own beliefs that something like a few other people’s dissent shake their beliefs to the point that they abandon good grammar and rationality(what little they have).

Freds delicious and amusing antics have reminded me of my own pasta apiffical experience. I was draged by my friends to a small french resturaunt they had been frequenting. I had one of the finest plates of pasta know to man: angle hair pesto. It was quite evident that the noodles were homeade, as the texture was noticably finer. The pesto was made with garden grown basil, and various exotic spices which names eluded me. I knew after consuming the glorious meal, that the amusing thing they said to me before going was true.

They told me they found God through the food.

Hi Guys,
As a Brit I love my country and I’m very disturbed when I see the creep back of religion into places it has no right to be. I’ve long believed that the only good religion is a dead religion.
As has been mentioned by others we have an increase in the number of faith schools in the UK, these schools have their ciriculums dictiated by the government, but can be altered to suit the faith involved. It should also be pointed out that these schools are not paid for by the faiths in question but by the government from our taxes, so basically we are paying to have children indoctrinated into faith. It has been proven that faith schools are devisive, just look at what happened in Northern Ireland where children where either brought up catholic or protestant. I make no claims of innocence for Britain when it comes to Ireland, though many Americans have much to answer for in their funding of terrorist groups. But those troubles would have been sorted long before if there had been more common ground and understanding. Bringing children up together in mixed schools has been shown to help. The more they see of different people around then, the less they see the difference and the more they see the people.
I suppose I should also mention that in recent surveys about two thirds of the british electrorate opposed faith schools.
Though if Bobby ever managed to make enough money he could actually found a City Academy in Britain based on FSM.
We sit in front of our PCs and talk about what’s wrong with the world, wouldn’t it be nice if we could funnel some of that energy and really change the world.
PS Bobby, some of us are using public access pcs and could do with a sign off function so that we aren’t leaving our account open to abuse. Thanks

The UK used to be a fantastic place and looking at the rise in secularisation it could’ve been potentially great with a rational and scientific explain of society and the world. However, looking at demographic studies by people such as Kaufmann, it seems as if there’l be a re-sacrilisation of this society because religious people tend to have higher birth rates than atheists. Following this logically it means that if the offspring of the religious people continue to follow their parents’ religions (either blindly, by questioning using what they think is rationally or just by being indoctrinated (as stated in Chapter 1 of “The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins)) then the theistic population will once again rise.
Also, if you look at the growth of NRMs (New Raligous Movements) and NAMs (New Age Movements) then this shows that religion and blind faith are still prominent in society. I would like to further point out that some NRMs can be extremely harmful to the individual e.g. Jim Jones and the People’s Temple and also the Life Foundation – http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,,1951502,00.html .
Something for you to ponder and debate here – the other day i asked my philosophy teacher if she that is was possible that if some people who believed in religion that had been indoctrinated into believing in that particular religion (contemporary example of Islam and a classical example of Catholicism). Her reply was that she believed that she found religious indoctrination (or any kind of indoctrination)acceptable if the indoctrinated person was morally acceptable.
The following day the philosophy class were having a discussion about what God is and whether it is possible for it to exist and the inconsistant triad. Again, I put my hand up to answer. This time I used His Noodliness and Pastafarianism as an example to explain my point about the illogicity of belief in God. My teacher replied “Well, I’ve never heard of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and because it sounds so silly (noodly appendages and noodles in the sky) I doubt that your argument has any validity.” My reply was “Pastafarianism is a legitamate religion and haas over two million followers, how can you not say that it is valid?” Then she blanked me and moved onto another person in the class.
Now, forgive me for thinking this but if we have people teaching “philosophy” (or rather theology – as we are generally being taught our teacher’s watered down version of Catholicism), a subject where a person is meant to explore all avenues and use the strongest arguments to find the truth (as science does), what hope is there for developing our ideas if teachers like this are allowed to preach their religious views and masquerade it as philosophy?
Just a few thoughts there, your replies would be most welcome.
Thanks, Brad.
May His Noodliness have mercy on us all.

I’ve seen what indoctrination can do to people, I’m sure everybody here has. In know way do I think it’s a good thing for any religion to be allowed to indoctrinate people and the state should most definitly not help them.
In the UK Dr Sentamu has again been calling for religion to take a stronger control influence and control of law and politics. He seems to be calling for the start of a theocracy. The last time we had that kind of thing in this country was over 400 years ago and it lead to suffering and executions on a mssive scale. It’s almost ironic that Sentamu chooses to quote William Pitts on the abuse of power. Personally I see Dr Sentamu as the publicity officer for a failing business. The Church of England is loosing followers fast. The only churchs in this country that are growing are the scary evangelical ones, like the Calvery Chapel that my own brother belongs to. Though the growth of evangelical churchs is still less than the growth in atheism.
I recently found myself arguing online with someone who claimed that Dr Sentamu spoke for the majority of this countries population, this particular individual would not answer me when I asked him what gave him the right to claim know what the majority think. Ironically this person was also an avid supporter of the BNP.

PS theres a church round the corner, bloody CoE, with a painting above the door (its a huge one too) showing jebus burning down a completely metallic city (and those who are trying to protect it) and a select few running to the green grass around it… is that the kind of thing you stand for, because that painting is an act of terror, I used to be scared of that thing as a kid. terror is the sword of the christians, and the muslims, and perhaps the jews aswell. So you see, our time may truly be productive, If we can bring people to mock you and ignore you, your methods of trror will be made useless and lame like your president, and people will be able to choose their religion by themselves, no forced religion from parants, or peers, or propoganda, just comedy, and humour and laughter will rule the religions, and philosophy and your way of life. so can you yet see, mr.frodo, you are holding us back, watch some blasphemous comedy and learn some blasphemace science…

Religion has always used fear and terror to get their way.
I did hear that at one point some sections of the early church used teach reincarnation. They stopped when they realised that it didn’t scare people into giving them money. So they stole the ideas of Elysium and Tartarus from the Greek mythology and grossly simplified it to give them Heaven and Hell.
As to the origins of the bible, anyone want to tell me why the earliest versions of the new testament that I’ve ever heard of come from the 2nd century? Why is there no gospel according to Jesus, if he was a rabi and a teacher as was claimed then he should have been able to read and write in several languages.
By the way, yes Hexhunter the Jews have used terror, look at the old testament and you will find many cases of it. Jericho is a prime example. Anyone with a reasonable knowledge of military engineering could tell you that what they actually did was march round the walls making a racket while they had a bunch of people undermining the walls, but telling their enemies that their god is powerful enough to tear down a city walls is much more useful. It keeps your enemies afraid of you.

Quite true, my UK brothers Jon E, H. narans, and brad. The Troubles are more than simply a religious one, or a political one, and education is surely the key. The good news.

For brad, thanks for the gaurdian link. Sad wot religion can do to some people simply looking for meaning in their lives. But I’m afraid the UK has a long and storied history of atrocities on a much grander scale that we are still trying to live down. I won’t go into detail here, but having said that, is one of the reasons I left Old Blighty for The States. Little did I know wot crap politics I would find here. At least we have room to spread out.

Haven’t seen the Dawkins petition yet, but I will happily sign it. I’ve already had a go at the organisation behind trying to introduce ID into UK schools, they call themselves Truth In Science, though personally I’ve taken to calling them Lies Instead Of Science. One of their founders is a friend of my brother, who is completely taken in by this nonsense, I had asked them a few questions using a far more anonymous tag than the one I use here. All I got back where the usual lies and claims of having real science to back up their claims. I’ve still to see and science that backs up ID.
One thing that’s been bouncing round my head for a while is the irriducable complexity of the mouse trap. Behe didn’t really think this one out to well. All the parts for the mousetrap were pre-existing and also if you look at a mousetrap doesn’t it remind you of a simplified crossbow, and from there we can say that it’s descended from the bow, through slings and stick throwers to the spear and then the thrown rock to the rock in someones hand and eventually to the fist.

@ Brad – That link about the Life Foundation was scary, particularly because I can see how someone, even myself under a different set of circumstances, could become engangled in such a group. I have apparently had a semi-cult experience by attending 12-step meetings for years after I stopped drinking alcohol (and other mind-altering substances.) I recently saw a website that lists the ways A.A. is a cult, and, although the Fellowship absolutely does good things for people, it really does seem to have a lot in common with bonafide cults. I never really fit in at A.A., because I refused to give up my entire life in the pursuit of only Fellowship-related activities. I had a dream once that I went to an A.A. retreat and they took away my clothes and put me on an island of bleachers in the middle ofa huge gymnasium. In that dream, my worst fears were confirmed, that A.A. was a cult. Well, anyway it helped me to stop living the way I was living. It’s almost 19 years later, and I still am “clean.” I haven’t been to a meeting in years, and I consider myself just a normal person. I feel poorly for Paul because at one time or another in many people’s lives, we desperately need help. When that help turns destructive it is like a double-whammy of sadness and pain.

RE: SaucyWench
The scary thing is when you look at modern day cults is that looking at older cults, they become denominalised, such as Methodism (Christianity). In fact all major world religions at some point would, using contemporary classifications, have been classed as a cult. This shows that a few factors may have happened:
a) The cult has watered down it’s beliefs and values e.g. Christianity.
b) The “extreme” values of the cult may have been accepted within society.
c) The cult has gained political power and taken control off the state e.g. Nazism.
Whilst I am saying this, I think I need to may the point that I am not saying that all religions/denominations are negative as some can offer positive things such as tension management. However, looking at the older cult type groups and the power, status and recognition that they have received it is easy to see where some modern day cults could possibly end up in the future.

Bobby might have started it to stop the teaching of unproven scriptures as fact, but I think it would be a very good idea to devote some time and energy solving the problems of today. Part of my job is event management, and I would be more than happy to help plan this event, though of course only if the FSM wishes it. After the nitty and gritty we can always bring out the beer and pasta.

I agree with all comments about UK faith schools being a backward step, I am totally against them. I am pleased to say my Daughter’s school is nominally C of E (which is a default setting for UK schools, meaning no actual religion, or arguably a weak wishywashy one). What disturbs me a bit is that the pre school curriculum for a 3 year old includes lessons on every tradition from every major religion, they just did a load of stuff on Diwali, which is a Hindu thing (er…or is it Sikh? Indian at any rate). The idea seems to be to include all faiths and traditions in order to be fair; whereas of course the easiest and fairest way to handle religion is to take it out of schools altogether, like the French do.
It also seems to be the case that religion and religious groups are on the rise in the UK, which is another backwards step. I am consoled by something Dawkins wrote which was that if you added all the athiests together they would form a lobby of equal or greater influence than any faith group. Are we motivated enough to be organised, I wonder.

Actually, if done correctly this seems like a very good idea to me. I’ve always been upset that when religion enters schools it always seems to be Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. Where does Buddhism, Hinduism, and Pastafarianism fit into all this? If you learn about many different religions, it will give you a better understanding of different cultures and the world as a whole.

“Dawkins wrote which was that if you added all the athiests together they would form a lobby of equal or greater influence than any faith group. Are we motivated enough to be organised, I wonder.”

One thing you should ask yourself is would this lobby be any better than the faith groups. If the goal is to keep theists from forcing their beliefs into places they don’t belong, then I would be all for it. If on the other hand, it starts trying to force Atheism on others, then they’re no better than the faith groups. I would be very critical of them if they tried using political power to outlaw churches, street evangalists, etc.

It would be safest to have an entirely non-partisan lobby, promoting nothing other than the tolerance of all creeds, or lack thereof, a lobby that entitles each and everyone to their own opinions, and one which seeks to ensure that people aren’t pressurised by persons or institutions seeking to force their will on others.

I disagree that the teaching of all faiths in UK schools is of value. Nowhere in the curriculum is it taught that these various religions are all based entirely on *fantasy*. Dawkins makes much of the major religions’ expectation that they should be accorded respect, and society’s willingness to do so, when there is no rational reason why we should. If this is true, why are we colluding with the fundamentalists and allowing our children to be taught to show respect to these delusions? As long as the societal taboo of “thou shalt not mock, or even comment on, another’s delusional faith” remains unbroken, these organisations will continue to have an undue, unwarranted and dangerous level of influence over our lives and politics.

I reckon it should be taught, it seems ridiculous not to teach people about a phenomenon that has endured since before recorded history, but it should be taught objectively as a study of literature and sociolgy, and not forced on people. People should be free to make up their minds, just as they should be free to choose what they study, and faith schools, although potentially a “time bomb waiting to go off” can also, if managed properly, can simply create a proper environment for like minded people to debate and question their beliefs, as well as further their study, unlike mixed faith schools where prejudice and bullying can arise due to someone’s personal choices.

I don’t agree with faith schools. It’s bad for everybody. I mean, the kids at the faith school are isolated from other religions while the kids at the secular schools don’t know how to deal with people that have faith.
.
The second reason is that they breed intolerance by two methods. The first is the obvious indocteration into hatred on religious grounds that is rumoured to occur.
.
The third is not so obvious, but faith schools hinder religion (this may be a plus point). My mother went to a catholic school run by nuns. Apparently it was terrible, the students were bullied day in day out by the nuns and when she left she had developed a terrible revulsion of religion. When we ask her now if she would be more disappointed in her kids if they were religious or gay she refuses to answer. I thought that this was an isolated incident confined to the UK or at the most the western world until one day when I was speaking to a Hindu friend (and the only reason I know anything about Hinduism) he divulged that his mother had a deep seated hatred of Christians because she went to a convent school on the other side of the world, where she was bullied by nuns on a regular basis.

@ Beastly Rich
Sometimes isolation is better, as it stops children from sacrificing their private beliefs due to peer pressure or violence from others. It only breeds intolerance and hatred if led by the intolerant and hateful and faith schools can of course hinder education or religious progression, but again only when mismanaged, and bullying is in no way part of religion, hence the nuns that perpetrate these acts are quite clearly not educated in religion. Religion is no bad thing, except when placed into the hands of vicious people, but this is true of anything, money, politics, charity, technology, even education. There is no hateful religion, only hateful people.

your observations about C of E schools may be true of some but at the one i went to i was singled out as the only non chrisrian in the school and ridiculed in front of my peers by the teachers for being decended from monkeys. I was also told that i would go to hell for not beleiving in god. Seems like pretty hard core stuff to tell a small child to me.

while i do agree with you that many religous people are well meaning and it only becomes hatefull when being manipulated by hatefull leaders i do not agree that “it is no bad thing”. surely all misinformation (e.g. religion) is a bad thing and can only hinder the progress of society whilst leaving many decent people easily manipulated by their unscrupulous and/or insane leaders.

That is not to say that i do not beleive in their right to live their lives this way, because i absolutely do, but it seems to me that any religious overtones, no matter how worthy the ideals behind them are ultimately pointless extras which are still open to manipulation

I never understood the point of faith schools in the first place. Religion is taught–some would say indoctronated–to you by your parents, your temple/church, so on; it’s your own decision after that as to whether you actually believe or not. It’s a personal choice, so I can’t see how it fits into a school situation at all. After all, if you limit yourself to only being around people of your religion, then you’re hardly gonna be prepared for the real world once your schooling is up. The only times religion should be mentioned at ALL in school is in a world history type of class, where they make up an important part of what you learn, or a class where the entire purpose is to discuss topis such as religion. Having an entire school for a certain faith seems to me to be a complete waste of tax money.

one of the reasons that faith schools, and faith in general are succesful, i beleive, is that they lay claim to basic human morality i.e. “christian” values and mix these basic ideas in with their own dogmatic convictions. Thus when a child is exposed to other beleif systems as they get older they feel that these new systems cannot offer morality of any sort. Furthermore it becomes difficult for the individual to distinguish between dogma introduced by the prejudice of their religious leaders and human morality which evolved long before religion

I’m not suggesting that teachers should be made to “denounce” religion, more that RE should be taught in the same way that we teach Greek mythology – as an outmoded view of the world, of literary value but little more. If a teacher is of sufficient religious conviction to not want to teach in this way, they’re the wrong person to be in the job anyway, since people of such strong religious conviction will, by and large, view conversion as a moral duty.

I was Wiccan, for a while. I found the head-ology of it too easy to abuse, though – and therefore, I caught myself becoming very manipulative of other people, so I quit before I became a bad person ;-)
.
Please note – the “bad person” part was nothing to do with Wicca, it was to do with me being a cynical s.o.b. Nowadays I view it as being as misguided as any other religion.

I always have loved learning about ther religions, specially the ones with more than one gog/godess. I even read some of the bible, but I stopped when all the inbreeding got to be too much.
On a side note, in the story of Joseph and that coat, the whole story could be seen as hinging on this random guy standing in a field saying “they went that way”. Seriously. Think about it. No random man, no Joseph getting locked up, no survival of egypt, the very sands of time melted into glass! This is a very helpful story to think about when you feel you’re life has no meaning. All you have to do is be some random guy standing in the middle of a field saying “they went that way”, and you change the world. Sorry, just had to share that. I sugest you look it up, it’s rather odd.^_^

The trick is…. to slowly let the grape juice flow from your forehead, over your nose, and
drip in to your mouth. As far as the grape skin, you should then save the skins, dry them out, and then carefully do something with them. I’m not sure what though?
Since I’m working off this hangover, I’m just not on top of things at the moment!
Give me a while though, and I’ll remember what you should do with the dried out skins.

EYE sha,
.
I applaud your open-minded and peaceful attitutude… but (had to be a but coming) I can’t agree with you on this:
.
“AND islams number 1 rule is dont kill or you are not a muslim. THEREFORE extremeists are not actually islamic, THEREFORE its not our fault.”
.
This statement sounds like the same thing a moderate Christian would say about Christianity. Both religions when moderated by contemporary societal standards become markedly more peaceful. However, this is not because their respective religious texts are inherently peaceful. Both the Bible and the Qur’an are filled with passages that call for horrendous acts of violence.
.
Islam and Christianity are NOT peaceful religions. Secular moral standards can moderate them to the point that they become peaceful, but in their raw literal forms they are both violent and intolerant.
.
That said, let me end on a positive note. It is always to great to see someone from another faith visit here with an open mind. Kick up your feet. Have a beer (we won’t tell). Pick out a nice seat near the stage. Then sneer a bit and practice saying “Aaarrggg!”

It has occurred to me that, since it has been centuries since the holy texts of Islam and Christianity were originally written, it is perfectly likely that some crazy swine intent on making a profit/war out of religion m,ight have edited the texts at some point. With Christianity it is almost a fact. Not so sure about Islam. Either way, if you only see the good in the religious texts, and don’t abide by the “Flaming Sword” parts, we all do just fine. It’s mostly just the pugnacious ignorant and idiotic that cause the problems.

It’s the diametric opposite of Jesus Camp, where the kids are taught actual tools of skeptical thought like probability theory and the amazingly stupendous scientific method. They even teach religious diversity and tolerance. And they don’t resort to reducing the kids to tears. Given the choice between the two, I wonder which camp a child would choose?

Nikkiee, one should always sandwich a perfectly-toasted marshmallow, still hot, between the graham crackers. If you’re really enterprising, you can put the chocolate bar (Hershey’s, usually) on a spatula and melt it slightly before putting the marshmallow on it. Of course, timing is everything.
