Dear People who believe in the FSM,
Bobby Henderson is the next Jim Jones. Run, run while you still can.
Thank You,
TheLaughingMan
*update* TLM’s comment @ 8:15pm:
May I make a suggestion to all of you who still believe in the FSM. Buy this book. Recovery from Cults: Help for Victims of Psychological and Spiritual Abuse
I just wanted to note that TLM’s suggested book is amazon-ranked at approximately #153,000, whereas The Gospel is currently ranked at #825 (lower is better).
*update* TLM’s comment @ 9:17pm:
I’m not trying to make anything personal… I’m just simply pointing out that historically people who are insane and lead cults end up in bad situations. I just thought I’d give you guys a heads up.
In truth I really want just one thing. As soon as Bobby Henderson publicly announces that FSM is a farce… then I’ll shut up and go away. But as long as you guys try to continue making this thing a real religion… then I’m going to keep replying. There are too many religions screwing up the world as it is… we don’t need an FSM to add to the pile.
Who the fuck is Jim Jones?

I hope that he extends his noodly appendage and touches laughingman.
One day laughingman will realise that Pastafarianism is no less rational than much of the silly supersticious nonsense of the other world religions and in many cases much more rational.
Then he’ll start laughing.

After the amazing stupidity of TheLaughingMan’s previous comments he has yet again surpassed himself. It looks like he would win the top prize for lunacy if there were one. He/she is either playing devil’s advocate or is really just that dumb that they miss the whole point of Pastafarianism
.
For those of you that don’t know, Jim Jones was the leader of the sect, The People’s Temple. In 1978 most of the members of the sect committed mass suicide, men, women and children. The sect started in Indiana but then moved to Guyana once the group began to be investigated for tax invasion. Jones recruited from the marginalized in society – at the time impoverished Afro-Caribbeans – and proclaimed himself to be the new Jesus. He was ordained by Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) (the same group that Ronald Reagan (40th president of America) was part of) in 1964. However, at the time of the mass suicide the church was in the process of revoking his standing because they thought he was mentally defected.
.
As far as I know Bobby Henderson has not proclaimed himself to be the new Jesus or (seriously) claimed to be some kind of prophet. He has also not recruited from the marginalized and impoverished because I think it is probably safe to say that the people visiting this site fit into neither of those categories. Also, as Dawkins says in The God Delusion, that “American polls suggest that atheists and agnostics far outnumber religious Jews, and even outnumber most other particular religious groups.”. So, this group is hardly a minority (although if TheLaughingMan is really an atheist like he previously stated then maybe this statistic is not completely valid). Basically, Bobby doesn’t even compare with Jim Jones.
.
One more point, if Pastafarianism was to be defined as any kind of group then it would either be a cult or a world affirming movement, using either the classical or contemporary definitions, respectively.

He can’t be, cause the Dokta likes pasting too much.
It is extremely insulting to compare Bobby to Jones. Jones was a certified psycopath. I know quite a lot about this, actually. As far as I know, Bobby hasn’t asked us to sell our houses and give him the money. He also hasn’t offered us kool-aid. And I seriously doubt he wouls shoot any senators or newspeople that came calling.

Dear Laughingman,
Why do you feel the need to just go out and attack FSM. This is not a cult, and even if it was these are completely different circumstances. First of all he isn’t taking advantage of people who need some kind of religious or spiritual help. Second he isn’t evading taxes. Third he can’t serve us that really good Kool-Aid of the internet. And finally, none of us are going down to Jonestown.

I find it kind of sad that TheLaughingman is able to recall the life and times of Jim Jones on the spot. Maybe (just a speculation here) he was one of his followers who survived the massacre at Jonestown. And if not than it is feaky that he, Jim Jones I mean, is the first to come to your, TheLaughingman’s, mind when you think of a satirical religion.

@TheLaughingMan:
There is a large difference between saying that you dislike a man’s satire and slandering him with the claim that he is about to commit mass murder. If you have proof of your claim (which I very much doubt), please submit it and I, at least, will thank you for saving my life. If you do not, saying that is totally rude and unacceptable.

Argh Laughing Man. WE need not books like that. Me thinks cult members are more interested in rituals than the drunken pirates ye shall meet here. If ye wanted me to join a cult ye would have to be ready to give me lots of beer; volcanoes worth as a matter of fact. Not only that, ye would have to offer me unlimited naked wenches, a whole factory full. That and sustenance, starchy, saucy, meaty sustenance. Aye, then you might entice me to join a cult.

@TheLaughingMan:
“My bad. I forgot to compare him to David Koresh as well.”
Once again, if you do not have proof of your claims, you should really stop accusing people of murder. Although Bobby Henderson is admittedly unlikely to take you to court, the United States does have laws against publicly maligning someone with claims that are both known to be false and said with malicious intent. If you absolutely must fight a religion until it is destroyed, permit me to humbly request that you destroy a religion that needs to be destroyed for the greater good rather than one that is intended to give people a good chuckle.

Are you crazy? Your acting like a crazy Christian cultist yourself. While I am a Pastafarian and think Christianity is wrong I look at your actions and see you as the crazy brainwashed side of Christianity. If you simply asked for discussion on religion instead of saying that Henderbob is horrible you might actually get converts. When I look at your comments I laugh at the hilarity of your funny comments. Its just as funny as http://www.chick.com

“Hitlary Clinton” “Feminazis” “Bush is compared to Hitler”. Look Avatar, the world is full of people publicly maligning other people. You wouldn’t know this though… you live in an FSM fantasy world. “Some claim that the church is purely a thought experiment, satire, illustrating that Intelligent Design is not science, but rather a pseudoscience manufactured by Christians to push Creationism into public schools. These people are mistaken. The Church of FSM is real, totally legit, and backed by hard science. Anything that comes across as humor or satire is purely coincidental.” Bobby says it himself. Saying that you actually believe in a flying spaghetti monster to me is grounds for insanity. cult /kÊŒlt/ Pronunciation Key – Show Spelled Pronunciation[kuhlt] Pronunciation Key – Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1.)a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
