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

Hey, sane guy…
.
Can you say satire? S.A.T.I.R.E?
.
In this case, the use of an absurd idea to highlight the problems with one that is even worse.
.
Anyway, we have a graph, an up to date gospel, pirates and a noodley god. Hardly baseless.
.
So, simply put, go crawl back to your troll cave.

@Peeden: “Why do people really care at all what someone else believes?”
-
Well, it’s not the belief systems that’re the problem, it’s how people behave as a result. Take Islamic fundamentalists. They don’t just think hateful things about the infidel (that’s us, btw) .. they are prepared to kill themselves and take as many of us with them as they can. In the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Africa, assorted tribes and ethnic groups are always at each others’ throats, frequently for religious reasons. India and Pakistan are often on the verge of starting WWIII. Catholic ‘purists’, by condemning the use of prophylactics, are at least partially responsible for the spread of HIV/Aids in a number of 3rd World nations. Closer to home, Christian Fundamentalists try to exert a disproportionate bias on matters of State, ranging from medical research to education, and from political lobbying to corporate tax status.
-
In short, because many religious groups are committed, vocal and pig-headedly unwavering in pursuit of promoting their own particular brand of fantasy, the non-religious can no longer afford to remain silent. And because our arguments carry the full force of logic, empiricism and consistency, religious groups have to shout louder to try and drown us out.
-
Think how public attitudes to smoking, drink driving and, more recently, obesity have changed within our life-times. When something does harm, then a combination of political will, pressure from the intelligensia, and general apathy from the great unwashed, can result in real shifts in the collective perception. We can achieve the same ostracism with religion if we are persistent. We already have the intelligensia on our side, and the silent majority generally couldn’t give a toss. All we have left are the ruling classes, who still cling to the out-moded belief that religion is the best way to subjugate the masses.
-
And what do the suits and ermine-clad classes fear most of all? Ridicule! Especially ridicule by plebeians such as ourselves. We may only receive hate-mail from the brain-dead but trust me, we prick the pride and vanity of the religious power-brokers with every well-aimed barb. In the words of Dr Lazarus ..”Never give up! Never surrender!”
-
Probably.

my post was not an attack on any side, though it might of came out that way, I just feel (like hopefully the rest of you) that my personal buisness, or anyone else’s by the way, is there own buisness. So why would any group,be it us who follow his noodley goodness, wrapped around a sweet sauce, or christians really care. we live in america, we are supposed to be tolerant of all others despite their belief structures, so why can’t everyone just stop attacking and criticizing each other.

Okay, here’s my adventure in the field.
.
I got a phone call late the other night from some bloke needing an emergency survey and they would need it done before the weekend. They would need my report before they could begin construction. Problem was they had already broken ground and if the state office didn’t get my report by Monday they were looking at some pretty hefty fines. So of course, I doubled my usual fee.
.
Silly me, I couldn’t be bothered to check the weather report before I left because the site was over an hour’s drive away and I wanted to finish the survey and get back by dark. Just when I got there, the rain came. Drizzle, at first. So I donned me mac (raincoat) and headed out across the dampening field.
.
The drizzle turned into a heavy downpour. Bloody hell! Thought I was bcak in Lancashire. I still had another forty acres or so to search as the mud clumped to me wellies, but I trudged onward. As the minutes passed into hours, the cold rain became freezing rain and formed icicles on the tall weeds and the treelimbs at the edge of the field.
.
The freezing rain turned to sleet and the ground began to crunch under my feet. The wind got brutally cold. The dim sunlight was getting low by the time the ground surface visibility was reduced to zero. Fortunately for the builder, having completed my survey, I found nothing to halt the construction. I had promised to call him on my cell phone after the survey to let him know, but I couldn’t get a signal. So I made for my truck up the hill.
.
Long story short (too late, I know) so I tried to drive out along the icy road and I didn’t get very far before my truck slid off the road and rolled down into a deep ravine. Oh bugga….

That sounds like it could have had a really bad ending. A women went over the side of a mountain near here and they didn’t find her for days. (I think it was 6 days) She managed to live and ended up losing a foot from it. The only reason she was found, was that a friend of hers actually looked in that area and on looking down the side of the mountain, caught a flash, just once and only for a second, of the sun glinting of part of the car. Otherwise the car was totally hidden from view.
That was pretty amazing.

Sorry, I needed a break.
.
When I came to, it was dark. My head was throbbing and my shoulder was bruised by the shoulder harness. I undid the seat belt and fumbled around for a torch (flashlight) somewhere in the cab of my truck. When lit, I found myself buried under a foot of snow. No bones seemed to be broken but I has a splitting headache from where my briefcase, loaded with topography maps and laptop, hit my head.
.
I looked everywhere for my cell phone but couldn’t find it anywhere. Apparently, the builder became concerned when I didn’t call him, so he tried to call me. When he couldn’t get through, he came out to the site in his one-ton 4×4 with one of his labourers. He thought I had buggered off and was about to leave when hs saw the light from my torch down the ravine. They hauled me out and ran me to the hospital for a look see, or else, praise His Noodliness, I could still be out there, a frozen stiff.
.
The bad news…the tow truck won’t be able to get to my truck until the snow and ice melts a bit, sometime later on theis week, they said. I did manage to salvage my briefcase and got the report out on time. Fuck all, never did find my cell phone. Oh. My. Head.

@Wench Nikkiee, Well that’s a pretty good analysis of what Genesis says. There have been a few people in the church over the years who have said that they have to protect “God’s Creation”, but seeing that most of them have done just the oposites. I did read about the mining projects in the US where they were blowning the tops of mountains and taking out all the available minerals. Those mines had the backing of some very powerful rightwing churches.
