Right, you are some geek sitting up in your one bedroomed appartment thinking of ways to get kicks out of life. Now u have captured my best mate and i wont stop until FSM is expossed as the shabby, bare walled, well conducted piece of rubbish that it is.
I mean a flying spaghetti monster? i think you need to see a pyshologist mate. you have serious problems.
by the way, have you stopped to consider the effects your little game will cause?
i think you have just split up me and my friend. oh yeh i wanna say thanks, thanks for ruining my life.

Or at least change your name.
@Jingles:
I agree. It’s a sad and shabby impersonation indeed.
@ Spider - I’ve wondered what became of you. I’m glad to have you back too. What the hell is up with that Sodom story? Is that really in the Bible? Cheese and Rice! I’m dumbfounded by the sheer lunacy displayed by anybody who would a)believe that story literally, and b) give a rat’s ass about it.
“@Soldier of the Sauce:
it may trouble you to know that christianity and FSMism are not mutually exclusive, but it has been determined which deity is the better! check out the FSM vs God thread in the News section.”
.
Correct you are. However, I was making note of the more obvious points; those things that have common ground. We have to go easy on christians, they’re obviously not the brightest. We can’t overwhelm them with such a large amount of information at once. They have to crawl before they can fly with the FSM.
Somehow I get the impression that this is fabricated. I mean, can anyone be that much of an idiot? It’s a question that gives me pause…
Rebecca, i think u have made the right decision! you should always have friends that have the same beliefs as you! it is important and i think that this whole fsm think is stupid! and that anyone would be in serious need of metal help if they actually believe any of this! And i personally will be praying for all of those who do believe in “the monster”!
@Meg, a couple of things.
.
“you should always have friends that have the same beliefs as you”
.
No, that should never happen. When it does, you get slavery, racism, oppression of women, xenophobia, societal and technological stagnation, the list goes on.
.
Also, please… I ask this with all my heart, PLEASE don’t pray for me.
.
It’s highly offensive to me. If you want to do something for me, please don’t waste your time with self reflection (for at best, that’s all prayer really is) but rather read some texts by Richard Dawkins or Carl Sagan.
.
Study philosophical arguments against Christianity.
.
See the atrocieties that have been committed in its name.
.
Then, ask yourself what is stupider;
a) A religion that has a 200 year long history of violence and bloodshed, perverted morals and despicable commandments?
.
or b) A religion that asks only that you learn to think for yourself, enjoy life and have a good laugh.
.
I know which one I would choose every single time.
2000 not 200
Brilliantly put, Jingles.
.
Hear this man, Meg. It might just change your life for the better.
.
(BTW - where can I get some metal help? Do I need an Iron Maiden tee shirt or can anyone with tough eardrums show up?)
Now we all need metal help, what next? I’m not up on Metal, but I’m sure one of the other pastafarians may have a suggestion.
Metal help? Like an aluminum foil helmet?
Oh, btw, I’ve just noticed the exchange between J (Dec 6th, 2006 at 6:42 pm) and Scott K (Dec 6th, 2006 at 6:58 pm). That J ain’t me. Not that there’s any way you should know (or care) who I (or s/he) am (is).
.
If it helps, I reckon Scott was making a good point, though I do find it good for the soul to think of a lot of ‘idiots’ as intelligent but unfortunate victims.
.
(I’m off to hide, again.)
Ahh..Iron Maiden…yes of course…I see what Meg means now.
@One Oared Marc Dec 7th, 2006 at 7:05 pm
‘Metal help? Like an aluminum foil helmet?’
.
It is quite possible Meg was suggesting something of that nature. Maybe Meg will return and clarify.

@J Hi J….Bye J….Holiday
I used to roadie for a smalltime local heavy metal band and we referred to ourselves as the “metal ward”. Never quite made it to the aluminum foil helmet department, though.
Perhaps we should have metal sea shanties as hymns….
“Whiskey in the Jar” — the Metallica version? Which is actually adapted from the Thin Lizzy version. But a lurvely metal shanty just the same.
As a point of most relevant (and reverent) interest, I wish to point out that the blessed St John of Petrucci himself doth refer to the art of guitar soloing as “noodling” (source: G3 Live in Tokyo .. soundcheck commentary). Those familiar with this most holy of works will testify that the holy trinity of Vai, Satriani and Petrucci transcend this mortal plane as they crank it up big time.
@Moochie
Seen two out three live, not had chance to see Satriani. Saw Vai twice when he was still with David Lee Roth. Only seen Dream Theater once, but stunning and very silly in places. Exactly what Bart Simpson was doing running around the back of the stage was never explained.
“All I wanna do is eat your brains…”
Okay so it’s not a sea shanty or a guitar noodling but it’s bloody hilarious! Enjoy!
