Casey Luskin of the Discovery Institute’s Evolution News & Views has posted an article on the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s treatment of the Christmas holiday.
During the holiday season, many Americans take time to seriously and respectfully reflect on Judeo-Christian religious beliefs. Not so for one website, the “Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster” (FSM), a pro-evolution satire against intelligent design. They exhibit no interest in treating Christian holidays with respect. To celebrate the season, they are selling Christmas cards which show a dead Christian fish symbol. Other Christmas Cards portray Michelangelo’s well-known “Creation of Adam” painting on the Sistene Chapel, but the FSM cards have God replaced by the “Flying Spaghetti Monster.†Another graphic promoted on the page shows a nativity scene where Jesus is replaced by the “Flying Spaghetti Monster.” I can appreciate humor, but it’s also clear that the FSM images are intended to mock traditional religion:
…
I disagree with most of what he’s saying - we are no more mocking Christian beliefs than Christians are mocking ours - but it’s still an interesting read.

Oh yee followers of FSM, today i have seen the light…err… NOODLES!
It was upon me reading these words of your wisdom, that I understood, that FSM was the one way I could in a religion find, what I wanted to say to the world!
I bow to the Monster and prophet for this revelation!
Long I have concidered to join FSM and now I belive I truly shall! And with me I shall seek to aid the spreading of FSM to the far north, the lands of the proto-pirates, the vikings! The FSMists of Finland bow their eye-patched heads to you.
And I make a solemn promice that I shall NOT depart this world (exept on a space-pirate ship, given chance) unitll the word of FSM has been planted thoroughly into the snowy soild of my homeland!
Glory to the Noodly One!
RAmen!
Welcome to you too! SaunaPirate.
Did I understand you correctly? You are going to write the FSM’s name in snow with pee?
Cool! I did that for a girl once myself.

Pete it’s me, Pixel Pete, there’s something wrong with my computer so I have to use my awesome alias Mr. Wednesday. I can’t post so I’m seeing if this will work.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m back everyone, and ready to post again!
@SaunaPirate
I’m glad you’ve seen the ethics of the situation and chosen the clearly logical avenue. May the FSM bring you plunder for your enlightenment.
Can’t we all just get along?
I, for one, really enjoy a nice meal of body of FSM, but it’s all the better with a nice slice of garlic body of Christ and a rich glass of blood of Christ.
If FSM is gonna beget an only begotten son, can he please be tiramisu flavor?
Yours in supper,
Pirate Deke
@SaunaPirate
Welcome to our wonderful ship, that is the CoFSM.
The xtians are planning a trip to Hell for us, so I am I right in assuming you won’t have far to travel to this upcoming event. (excuse ignorance I’m an Aussie)
We are not sure about the fire we are supposed to burn in though, because of the amount of snow in Norway. Any ideas how we can get a really really big fire going in the middle of the snow?
Well! Holy batballs! Pixel Pete,
Glad you can post again. I had that problem once and I had to change my email here? The FSM works in mysterious ways…

Yeah that’s what I had to do too.
“Any ideas how we can get a really really big fire going in the middle of the snow?”
.
I think it’ll be going when we arrive, er, wenche (Can I call you wenche nikk if you’re going to put an e on the end?)
@Wench Nikkie
I have a friend who speaks some Swedish and another who has a pretty mean German. Will these languages be necessary in Hell, I’m not sure cause I’m pretty sure that all Europeans speak English or something like that.
Pixel Pete, I’m pretty sure you can speak however you like in hell.
I figure I’ll be so dang drunk, I will be incoherent anyway.
I think all we’ll need to learn id “another beer please” and “where’s the toilet?”
i bet more people end up in hell than in heaven
.
i wonder what all the people are like in heaven. in my opinion, pretty boring. if it were like how it was in south park: bigger, longer, and uncut; then i might become good
@Dr. Maglacey Jan 1st, 2007 at 9:06 pm: @Dr. Maglacey “Wench Nikky told me to say that!”
Dr. Maglacey and/or Wench Nikkiee - errm I’m a bit confused now. Who is whom and which one (if any and/or many) is which?
do you ever wonder on forums if all the people you respond to are the same person?

I do at times wonder that.
It gets somewhat easy if you frequent a forum though.
Everybody has their own style of writting that others really can’t imitate, at least
“can’t imitate” for any length of time anyway.
Hi everyone,
On the BBC religious blog that elected Dawkins as man of the year (no doubt to the disappointment of those who held the election) there is another thread close to our Pastafarian hearts. This one about Truth in Science cranks writing to the British government. They’re pushing for ID in UK schools, the very thing we absolutely detest. If you have a minute, feel free to post how you feel about this on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni/2007/01/norman_nevin_defends_truth_in.html
And if you do, why not leave a small clue as to how your name in that forum relates to the one over here. I’d like to know the size of the Pastafarian input.

let’s hope creationists who are Brits are in the minority
