FSM is a horrible idea

Dear Mr. Henderson,

I have noticed that you have started this thing called Pastafarianism.  I
would like to start off the first of a long list of complaints, by simply
stating that that pun is horrible. It’s not even creative.  Way to be
original… not.  Second of all… you guys claim that Pirates are your
followers, and that nobody has ever killed anybody in the name of the FSM.
While… looking back on History I happen to find that the history of
Pirates is filled full of rape, murder, and pillaging.  This is probably the
point where you say “that’s what they want you to think” but this is also
the point where I point out that no noodly meat sac in the sky ever rewrote
history to say that Blackbeard was a cheery fellow who spread joy to others.
To think that some noodle thing in the sky rewrote history is just pure
ludacris.  Also, why is it a Spaghetti monster?  Don’t you find that a
little biased towards Italians.  I don’t appreciate your bias.  If you are
going to continue with your charade, please choose a God that represents
more people than just a minority of people in Europe.  Your idea for
intelligent design isn’t very well thought through.  I respect your idea to
mock the Kansas school board, but what I don’t respect is that you dragged
other people into this farce by stating you actually believe this nonsense.
Look at it, really look at it, and think to yourself if you really want
people to back these wildly imaginative ideas of yours.  If you think you
should… then it’s probably time you stop and consult your local therapist.
I’m not a Christian either, in fact I’m Aetheist.  My way of thinking is
that if there really was a God… why would he be so dumb as to make people
who actually believe a giant flying noodle made the earth?  In the long run,
I would appreciate it if you proclaimed this whole thing to be a farce so
that your horribly nerdy followers could get over themselves and go back to
having what little lives they had in the first place.  If you choose however
to keep up this ploy, I would have to ask that you make your God less biased
towards Pirates and Italians.

Thank You,
TheLaughingMan

    I take it someone hasn’t actually looked at the website before having a go. He’s a bit late to be ‘the first of a long list of complaints’. I suppose this does prove that you can find stupid athiests as well.

    Get a life mate. It’s a parody!

    I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry at this one.
    Maybe “Hate Mail” is a misnomer. Perhaps the section should be called “People who completely miss the point”.
    Just shows: being atheist doesn’t make you brainy. He probably thinks Alanis Morrisette’s ‘Ironic’ actually contains tales of irony (which, ironically, it doesn’t).

    Remember, the FSM created noodles in his image, not the other way around. When you think about it, it’s perfectly logical, right? I mean, everyone likes noodles! And to say this is biased against italians… Clearly you don’t know anything about Italian culture. Their noodles are all fancy and spiced up, usually filled with exotic meats and vegetables. American spaghetti is just a buncha strings dipped in high-sugar sauce, which is pretty much what the FSM is made of. (No offence, noodly lord, everyone still loves it). If anything this site is biased against Americans, which doesn’t matter at all, considering… the Americans are slowly destroying the world and deserve a little mocking.

    Don’t forget that Marco Polo is rumored to have brought the noodle from China to Italy. So, spaghetti is essentially an imitation of lo mein. This religion is NOT biased towards the Italians…it’s biased towards the Chinese.

    Besides, who ever heard of the Flying Spätzle Monster? That would be just SILLY!!!!

    TheLaughingMan, while your arguments aren’t very well made, I understand your overall point that Pastafarianism seems somewhat rediculous. However, have you been on Christian websites pointing out the contradictions and misgivings of their wacky beliefs? If you havn’t, why not? You said that you’re an athiest, so you must see the stupidity of their stories of walking on water and getting eaten by whales and a flood covering the entire earth (where’d all the water come from?) and just the general idea of an omnipotent, omniscient god that can somehow only get off when some insignificant little humans pray to him in the face of a mountain of emprical evidence that he must have made for them to indicate that he does not even exist.
    .
    Personally, even if every single word of the bible were true, I’d never make it in the christian heaven, because I’d choose the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge every time, because I’d rather die with wisdom than live in ignorance.
    .
    However, if FSM is the true god, I would love the Pastafarian heaven. Beer and strippers for everyone! And what if we’re wrong, and there is no FSM? Well that’s fine because the tenants of Pastafarianism are still good in the absense of Him. There’s even no killing of disbelievers!

    There’s just no point in talking to someone who has made buffoonery not only an art form but a way of life. It’ll take more than a little reasoned discussion to crack through that sort of senselessness. Hopefully he’ll grow up to the point at which he can see what an astonishing loon he has been.

    To expand slightly on Major’s post I would also say that it is more biased to the Chinese if we are going on the basis of noodles. For though there are records of the Romans making them 2000+ years ago, in 2005 a 4000 year old container containing noodles was found in NW China. Praise be to the noodlie one, it seams his beneficence knows no bounds. Ramen.

    This has to be a classic — not as good as assclowns and oars, but still good. And we wonder why a third of the American public are evangelicals. It is because they can’t grasp the simplest of ideas and therefore must credit every blob that goes bump in the night to the workings of a higher being.

I’ll look SO Smart!!! Oh! And I got it!!! I’ll add that I don’t believe in god so they can’t make fun of me anymore because; *sniff* I was so offended!…*sob sob sob*”

    It’s just pitiful what people have to do to get a little attention, especially to be naive enough to say that because a food with an Italian name, resembles our god (and is totally delicious), that we’re biased against Italians, I’m just about full blooded Italian, I don’t feel offended at all that our dear FSM looks like a delicious plate of noodles (I should stop saying noodles I’m getting hungry). Anyway, my point being… why don’t these people just mind their own business instead of wasting their time writing stupid sounding letters.

    Dear Laugh,
    .
    You imply that Prophet Bobby chose to create The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Of course you have it completely backward; one does not choose to create a god – THE GOD CHOOSES TO REVEAL HIMSELF. The Great Noodly One in his infinite+1 wisdom has chosen to reveal himself to Prophet Bobby and for that he is blessed and His followers, such as I, are grateful (the term ‘grateful’, of course, deriving from the latin term for ‘grated cheese’).
    .
    Mock our religion if you may, but do not imply that it is somehow less legitimate than others. Ask yourself, as an atheist, would you have sent such a letter to the Pope? Perhaps you are not as much an atheist as you claim? The fact is we have real evidence that the Flying Spaghetti Monster not only exists but is the Creator of all on earth – we even have a graph!
    .
    May His Noodly Grateness choose to reveal Himself to you some day.
    .

    Beyond putting an X on a map, pirates generally couldn’t write very much. Didn’t need to. As a result, their history was written by land-lubbers, corporate shipping magnates who were fiddling their insurers (”honestly, the goods never arrived because the pirates took it all”) and J.M.Barrie. They got a bad press. They were actually the gypsies of their day .. romantic, free-spirited, adventurers. Splice the main-thing! Brace the yard-doodah! Keel-haul the suits! Yarrr.

    And I think that someone’s missing the point!!! If the FSM wanted people like you to believe in Him, then he would have made Himself a little more obvious, but for reasons unbeknownst to me, He has hidden most of the evidence, leaving only small “nuggets” of evidence, if you will endulge me, for smart and capable minds like us Pastafarians. Therefore, we can determine that it is probable that the FSM is trying to determine who on this planet Terra is smart(me), and who is one hell of a dull crayon(you).

    I am a devout atheist, but I gotta say this guy takes the cake. It’s almost like a whole new genera of hate mail. Our religion is biased towards Italians? What? I can’t believe that this is a person who has devoted himself to logic and reason.
    .
    Something inside me has changed as this site has evolved [sigh]. I used to love to read the hatemails to laugh at all the religious intolerance and scientific ignorace. But I’ve become saddened as I’ve come to realize that there is a bigger issue. The biggest issue that this site has uncovered is not one of fundamental religious loonacy, nor science education, nor global warming, nor the sacredness of midgits, what the honorable prophet Hendrob has laid before us, has uncovered that our nation has an incredibly large HUMOR deficit. It honestly baffles me.
    .
    How many of you didn’t “get it” within the first paragraph or two of the Open Letter? How many accidentally blew a snot rocket from laughing so hard? I’ve come to terms with the Creationists, or at least their motives. Their reasons for FSM hating were hard wired at an early age. The creationists will all hate FSMism, but at least most of them still “get it”. These people who read the entire OL, completely miss the forrest because of the trees, and then start writing logic equations, all proud of themselves for “debunking” something, totally make my brain bleed.
    .
    Is this just their initial knee-jerk reaction? How many of them instantly send an e-mail to Bobby, then look over the site more and realize that they just completly missed the boat, and made an arse of themselves? How many read on and still don’t “get it”? I’m freaking losing it Lewis Black style here! Someone help me come to terms with this!
    .
    Is there no form of government regulated comedy education in this nation anymore? A little basic principles of satire?
    .
    I think we have uncovered what should become one of the FUNDAMENTAL SOCIAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS of our ministries. We’ve been working on pasta evangelism, religious freedom, midit and pirate civil rights, and global warming. But now……
    .
    I now believe it is our FSM mandated duty as Pastafarians, to unite, to rise up and fight to DEFEAT HUMOR ILLITERACY!

    There have been a number of posts in this language lately. I thought, maybe their masters have told them not to post here using jeesus’s name, but rather post under aetheism to try and make aetheists look bad instead. ( note the word try )
    I also think that these people are taught nothing but scripture. I am sure we could find humorous passages in their holy book, but I don’t if they could. No doubt they have never before been exposed to humor. Most sad!

    The FSM meaterialised to me today and explained that it is logically impossible for anyone ever to kill anyone in the name of the FSM.
    If you don’t know that, you need to hear that immediately from someone who does.

    The FSM revealed that it has never asked anyone to kill anyone else and never will.

    While… looking back on History I happen to find that the history of
    Pirates is filled full of rape, murder, and pillaging.”

    Firstly, I don’t recall that Mr. Henderson ever claimed that pirates were followers of the FSM. I think what you might be refferring to are his claims that the FSM wants us to wear pirate relagia when we teach others about our beliefs and that certain natural disasters are the results of the FSM’s anger at the dwindling pirate population. Thus, the killings perpetrated by the pirates to whom you also refferred must have been commited by the pirates not acting in accordance with the FSM’s desires. That said, pastafarianism is still not responsible for any deaths.

    Secondly, if you do not find this satire amusing, I truly wonder what it is that you do laugh at “LaughingMan”.

    Why did that excite me? Anyway I don’t think that this would work for us because the person would need to recognize that the situation has the potential to be funny, and the trolls we deal with often don’t seem to even get that far.

    We’ve got to deeper than that. I’m thinking a wallet sized fold out dichtomous key for every situation. It would start something like:
    .
    1. Have you just encountered a potentially opposing and offensing point of view?
    Yes – Go to 2.
    No – Go on with life.
    2 How did the encounter offend you?
    Religiously- Go to 3.
    Moraly – Go to 4.
    Socially – Go to 5.
    Etc………
    ………..
    A potential ending point for our brand of haters might be as follows:

    36b You have likely just encountered religous satire of a political nature. Please
    reconsider the encounter and move on to 50
    .
    50 Do you now recognize that what you encountered was humorous parody for the
    purposes of lampooning the absurdity of a certain point of view?
    Yes – Congratulations, have a laugh and move on with your day.
    No – You seem likely to be a humorless twit. The only cure for your condition is to
    lock yourself in a basement and watch every episode of “The Kids In The
    Hall” ever made.

For they do not see the light of His Noodly Appendage leading their way. Instead, pity them for they ignore the aroma of thy bounty and do not know of the goodness of His warmth in thy belly. And do not betray His wisdom of the Condiments for He is with us always. In the name of the Holy Parody we pray that we poor wretches be delivered from bad grammar, vicious vitriol and vulgarity. As well as those who simply don’t get it. And so, my fellow Pastafarians it befalls that our greatest weapon is to smite them with the Sacred Sword of Satire.

    Pirates didn’t kill in the name of the FSM, they did it for money, and with style.

    Many people would have preferred to be killed by a flashy (do you use that word in english too ? sorry, I’m a poor french sympathisant) pirate with a rusty sword on a sunny deck, than in a cave by a man in brownish robes and with hot iron.

    There actually is a bit of humor in the bible. You just have to look for it.
    .
    This particular story is in Acts. I don’t exactly remember where. Of course, my version of it is a little different than the actual version, but I swear that it really is in there. “One eventide, St. Paul the Sanctimonious Asshat preached at the people. He just kept on a preaching and preaching. The people listening yawned and looked at their watches as a hint to St. Paul to wrap it up, but St. Paul took no notice. One man, so undercome with the Word of the Lord fell asleep and fell out of a window. St. Paul ran to the street to see if the man was ok. Paul claimed that the man had died, but was restored by the power of the Lord. The guy said, ‘No, I’m fine. It was just a first story window.’ Realizing that the people didn’t seem to be buying into his pyramid scheme, Paul convinced them that the man had, in fact, died and been restored to life.”

    The Great & Powerful FSM has clearly said thus:
    Pirates never killed anybody IN THE NAME OF THE F.S.M.!

    If Pirates killed, and I don’t know that they did since that would be so un-FSM, then they weren’t true believers of FSM since violence is not a part of the FSM religion.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    .
    The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the deity of a parody religion founded in 2005 by Oregon State University physics graduate Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution. In an open letter on his website, Henderson professes belief in a supernatural Creator that resembles spaghetti and meatballs called the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and calls for Pastafarianism to be taught in science classrooms, essentially invoking a reductio ad absurdum argument against the teaching of intelligent design.[1][2] Followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) call themselves Pastafarians, a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarian.
    .
    Due to its recent popularity and media exposure, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is used by atheists, such as Richard Dawkins, as a modern version of Russell’s teapot.[3]

    Wow… you guys totally have no cognitive skills. It’s like you’re all hooked on everything but Phonics. I mean really… look at the comments you guys left… “you’re not the first in a long list”. Really? I’m not? Did you stop and read it to see that it applied to the section of writing and not the entire letter itself? Good job kid. Maybe you guys should put the D&D away and find yourselves some Girl Friends. “You used …not, you’re not original” Wow kid… you sure are smart… not. Damn… every one of you is seriously set back. And yes… I know that FSM is a parody. The only thing is is that you guys don’t. FSM isn’t anything actually real, and if you think it is than you’re just a sucker and I pity you. You guys need to grow up, get out of your mother’s basements, and stop spending your Fridays indoors trying to knock my flawless letter and prove that a giant noodle exists. And as for “TheLaughingMan” it’s from Ghost in the Shell. He didn’t laugh either… just like I’m not laughing at how ignorant you all are. It’s a serious matter. To think that people like you guys are actually running around in the free world is a bit scary. All religion is dumb, it’s just a fact. The only reason we have religion is so that our ancestors could explain events that they were ignorant about. For the longest time they thought the earth was flat and that it was the center of the Universe. While ah… they were wrong, and you guys are wrong now. Your whole little story is just ludacris. Bobby Henderson needs his head examined, and you guys need lives. Get over yourselves you sad little nerds. There’s more to life than a flying noodle sac.

    The dictionary defines phonics as “a method of teaching reading and spelling based upon the phonetic interpretation of ordinary spelling”. You just tried to trump us with a point about grammar without knowing the definition of the words you chose to use. Phonics has nothing to do with the discussion. Please, learn to use the dictionary before you post.

    On the other hand, I must praise you to a degree for actually having the courage to return and defend your perspective. Most people lack it. Good job.

    @TheLaughingMan: some people enjoy ‘one liner’ jokes. Others, especially those with imagination and a joy for the absurd, find great satisfaction in taking an idea and then going for a very long stroll with it to see where they end up. It’s the journey not the destination that’s important.
    -
    In the case of a really long, extended humorous joke like Pastafarianism, it’s not going to make much sense until (or if) you can get into the necessary vibe (naff term, but the best I can think of to explain it). Think ’shaggy-dog story’, think Spike Milligan, think Dave Allen. It’s ok if you don’t *get it*, really it is. It wouldn’t be anywhere near so funny if it was too accessible. Have you ever enjoyed an extended fantasy or joke with a friend or lover? One that lasts days, weeks or years? A kind of private, coded language between you? If you have, then you’re more than capable of joining in here. If you’ve no idea what I’m talking about, then .. well, you’ve got no idea what I’m talking about.

All should revere FSM because his heaven has beer volcanoes and stripper factories. BTW, I don’t live in my mother’s basement.

    Since neither “Aethiest” nor “Athiest” exists in the English language (well, they didn’t until you just invented them), you are clearly having a joke at our expense, you little tease. See .. I knew all the hot air was just a jape. Time to lighten up before folk start thinking you really are an archetypal ‘oar up the arse’ Brit.

    He’s a pom. Also, from all evidence in his posts, he seems to know how to spell.

    Then there’s Richard Dawkins. The highest profile atheist in the UK, if not the world (still living that is, Einstein would probably beat him in a popularity contest). On his own personal webpage, he uses the spelling atheist. I would think he would know how to spell it, surely?
    .
    I, like Nikkiee and a few other posters on this site, am Australian. One of the things we Aussies do is use the British spellings for the vast majority of our words. We happen to use athiest.
    .
    So, poms use atheist.
    Australians use atheist.
    Americans use atheist.
    If I could be assed digging around, I could probably also find that Canadians, New Zealanders, South Africans and just about anyone else uses ATHEIST.

    That’s a toughy Mad John. The “Gene Guy” as they call him (the God Gene ect )
    tends towards a correlation between personal disposition and genetic makeup. Since genes code an individuals physiological chemical makeup and thus blueprints for biochemical interactions, I’d have to say that one leads to the other.

    No doubt enviromental factors have a big influence. Still, I think it will come down to what is in your biochemical toolbox as to how you deal/react to them. I guess someone has the genetic pre-disposition to express higher levels of say, certain endorphins, than average, may generally appear happier. Others who express less,may get more uptight pretty quickly over what the average person would consider a “mole hill”.
    What i’ve said is way, way over simplified! (brain is the mainframe)
    Heaps of modulation/ interregulation of neurotransmitters and science still doesn’t know half of it. Much of the psych chemotherapy used works on the above kind of principles though.

    How about this for one possible scenario of interplay between genes and environment: All things being equal the person with the lower level of endorphins is going to be more depressed. Depressed people look for ways of being happier. Most cultures are rife with religions that claim they will make you happy, so depressed people turn to religion more often than others. The same is true for environmental factors. Lots of people who have had bad things happen to them turn to religion at least temporarily. They try it out to see if it will make their life better.

    Feeling often has a tendency to overide intelligence. Think of some of the stupid things otherwise intelligent people have done when they are drunk.
    I know when I was a (wee) bit younger, under the influence of drink and feeling invincible, I dived into a large rock in a creek. I had swam there many times before and knew exactly where that boulder was. I was just feeling great and sensibility was irrelevent at the time. Extremely lucky not to have spent the rest of my life in a wheelchair.

    I leave you guys alone for 12 hours and you just go to town! I wondered what had happened, and then I saw who showed up. All your valiant efforts to bring this heathen to the light must be commendable!
    .
    And I see you made a little progress! He admits that FSM is essentially funny, but still doesn’t understand why we worship here!
    .
    I think I know what the problem is. Some where in UnLaughingMans brain there is a blockage in his funny system. This is how I envision it:
    .
    As the funny enters the brain through the eyes or ears, tension builds up as a crank is turned. With enough funny the crank eventually pops a lever, hitting the swinging boot into the bucket, which falls over, releasing the mini-bowling ball to roll down the stairs, into the chute, hitting the pole, that shakes another mini bowling ball, causing it to roll off a plank and fall into the bathtub. The ball falls through a hole in the tub, landing on one end of a see-saw, this springs the diving man off the see-saw and into a barrel, thus shaking the pole and releasing the cage, the cage falls, triggering the funny centers of the brain.
    .
    With UnLaughingMan, the funny seems to go almost all the way, but not quite. In my opinion, his problem lies with the little diving man. Its always the little diving man. Its likely that his see-saw is out of alignment, causing the diving man to miss the bucket entirely.
    .
    I’m afraid the only cure is a see-sawectomy, including replacement with a state of the art digital see-saw. Its expensive, but I think in the long run, it would be worth it for UnLaughingMan.

    Glad to say that I’ve never seen a wild poisonous snake up close where I live. Though there are adders in at least a couple of places around the city. The squadies out at one of the army barracks on the outskirt keep stepping on them when out training and get a nasty shock when they sink their fangs in.

    By the way my saying I’m not a pet person is more a comment on myself than anyone else. I can see the pleasure in it. I just don’t have what it take to look after an animal. I tried when I was a kid and was rotten at it, I kept forgetting to feed the goldfish and if my mum hadn’t then, well you can guess.

    What a joke that someone would be stupid enough to write in and say how horrible FSM is! Don’t they realise that they then become part of the show? Didn’t you think that maybe this entire site is about laughing at you? Yes you! the ID Christians!!! Personally as a student of Molecular and Cellular Biology I am appalled that a state could decide how they define science. Yes, we are distantly related to apes and monkeys. Yes you were wrong.. we are not made of clay like the bible says, We do not burn in hell when we die. In fact death has been shown to be quite pleasant if you must know. It causes a massive..and i mean MASSIVE release of endorphines. That same feeling you get when you are just finishing a massive run or if you are into it.. Heroine.
    It is a fundamental misunderstanding of science to just on a whim decide that you can say that ‘God’ created the world. Science is not about stipulating what ‘may’ be. It is all about observing and being able to create a reproducable event by understanding what is right in front of you and mimicking it. By the definition of god you can never say if there is a god or not. You can’t KNOW he is there. That’s why it’s called a ‘leap’ of faith! It makes me laugh how unbelievably stupid christians are sometimes. Ironically… even though one of the ten commandments is ”You Shall not kill” it is deemed perfectly fine to kill in the name of god. More people have died by the hand of the christian church than by any other group, institution or culture ever. Not even Hitler managed quite as many as the Christian Faith. Yeah, you go burn the witch mate!

    • People who beleive in any church or God (except FSM of course)are “Fundes”
    • Pope Pius XII was evil and personally was in charge of killing many people in WWII.
    • The Catholics (not the Jews as previously) are secretly in control of the world.

    Have I summed up our thinking? I need to have these ideas straight when I argue for the great Noodly appendages and our Nation FSM homeland in North Dakota.

Personally, I have no love in my heart for hypocritical Bible-thumpers or allegedly-celibate-but-molesting-altar-boys priests. I can find no affection for religion-crazed fundies who proclaim that I’m going to to to their version of Hell if I don’t believe their religion. Pastafarianism itself is gentle, tolerant and kind. Just as in Christianity, individuals within a religion can hold personal beliefs/prejudices that are not officially sanctioned by their chosen religion.

    @James: Not everyone who beleive Christianity are good people, and those that aren’t we tend to call fundementalists. Both the fundementalists and the good people believe in the same God reguardless of the faction within Christianity they follow. Johnny Corvette and SaucyWench are only talking about that extreme group.
    .
    More recently, after the attacks on the WTC, there has been a strong outcry against the Muslim faith. This outcry has been spearheaded by the Christian nations in the west. Fundementalists Christians have been using this outcry as a means of a modern day crusade.
    .
    Then there are the really f**ked up people who are Christians and hate the wars’ attempts at recovering world peace. These are the same fantatics that desicrate the graves of soldiers fallen in Iraq and say that God hates the US. And they claim to be citizens of this nation?

    I don’t believe being an atheist gives me the moral high ground.

    Religious organizations are fairly well suppressed in many countries. That is not science I guess – just “evolved thinking”. To say that someone who believes in a higher power is dumb and doesn’t have a valid point to make because of what I saw in the museum of natural history is using science to suppress their ideas.

    -
    Yeah .. did you spot the clever trick in the middle of the article? It’s in the last sentence of the paragraph copied below:-

    “Davison points out that a theory “is an hypothesis which, having been tested, has achieved a degree of support, thereby enabling it to make certain predictions.” However in Darwin’s model allegedly nature selects random changes in genetic composition resulting from assumed undirected mutations. So Darwin’s brainchild clearly cannot be tested because if the evolutionary mechanism he proposed is without purpose, its result cannot be predicted.”
    -
    And from that pathetic sleight of hand, the author proceeds to claim that natural selection is necessarily “supernatural”, and that Darwin’s theory is effectively a conjuring trick. Bit bloody rich, if you ask me. And strange too, since the article starts by considering the problem of increasing genetic information, which is the one area science currently really does have difficulty accounting for.
    -
    nb. For anyone interested in the above, but can’t see the ‘trick’, it’s the “..without purpose..” bit. Since it’s cool to work things out for yourself, think of an experiment you could carry out at home, where it’s possible to make a reasonable prediction of the outcome. Now ask yourself where ‘purpose’ plays any part in the experiment, or your ability to predict the result (even if your prediction is wrong).

    Hey, I went shopping yesterday (at couple different shopping centres……having saved heaps of money, without even trying, since becoming a practicing Pastafarian :) :)
    and did not hear one xmas carol!

    Sadly, the Xmas carols began here the week of Thanks Giving. I’m sick of it already. Can hardly wait ’til the Boxing Day footie matches! There’s a local just down road that broadcasts plenty of them starting early, around 6 am.

    I know but I’m still anxious! My side just made the final sixteen in the Champions League this week and sit at the top o’ the Prem, so I’m ready for the Boxing Day fixtures! Now!

    Aethist eh? Google just told me “Did you mean: oxford dictionary atheist?” at that one. Oh wait a minute, that’s right, Atheist has a Greek root a- (which is never ae) and theos. Daemon, of course, is a Latin word, and ae is a classic Latin diphthong.

    This guy is a classic example of unintelligent design, and further undeniable proof that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a crafty being…

    And so what if Pirates killed people. If they did, it was because they deserved it, or the Spaghetti Monster would never have allowed it. We just have to take it on faith that His Tasty Goodness reads the livers of all men, and if he deems them lily for reasons history never records, we have to accept that. If a few dead merchants and tiger hunters get marauded, it’s perhaps small price to pay for the preservation of the polar ice caps all these years…

    I didn’t read everyone’s posts so forgive me if anyone’s already pointed this out… but Spaghetti is NOT necessarily Italian.. the noodles originated in China… I thought EVEYONE knew that by now… and the history of Pirates was rewritten after they were mostly extinct (having been killed off by the Hari Krishnas)! The modern Pirate tales are nothing but christian propaganda because the other religions were so jealous of the Pirate lifestyle. Read your Gospel.

    One point…
    Pasta was not invented by Italians. Just the same as the Swastika was not invented by Austrians/Germans. Both Pasta & the Swastika have great meaning!! PS: Before you send hate mail to me the Swastika was misused by Nazi Germany and predates the Third Reich by millenia and has nothing to do with the Aryan race.

    “LMFAO You people are hilarious. You don’t believe in anything,so you hate those that do?

    I for one don’t ‘do’ hate. Requires too much energy. Secondly, we believe in the one and only true God and Creator, His Noodleyness, The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
    I could say nasty things, and ridicule what you believe in too. But as I said I don’t do hate. I’ll leave that to those who don’t like to have any competition to their own religion businesses.

    There are just too many imbecilic fools who completely miss the point of this site – or who just don’t bother to read before attacking, or (like TLM) who just grind the joke down through constant, childish, numbing pedantry.

    Against willful idiocy of this level, on this scale, how can we *ever* hope for a rational future for mankind?

    The fundamentalists are easily disposed of – they’re insane, and can’t properly function in the world. The others – the deliberately ignorant, the otherwise-intelligent-wiseasses, the give-terrorism-a-chance-moderates – fuck you all. It’s YOU guys, NOT the fundies, who’re sending us all to hell in a handcart. Fuck you, you ignorant, apathetic, wasteful fucking cattle.

    @ Davey – I love how it takes all kinds. I appreciate what you said and the way you said it just as much as the kinder, gentler approach. Inside, I’m often thinking along similar lines as you. You said it so well. If it weren’t for the fact that my children know about this site, and know who I am, I’d express my creativity similarly. I have to set an example for the next generation of Pastafarians I’m trying to raise.

    I actually wonder if that’s not what some people do, just to give themselves support. I agree with davey though, I’m getting pretty sick of this. Humanity seems to be headed just a little bit in the wrong direction, and i get deppressed if i think about it too long. No wonder so many people comfort themselves with the idea of heaven.
