Comments on: Discovery Institute – Celebrating Christmas at the Church of the FSM http://www.venganza.org/2006/12/29/546/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 06:34:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ham Nox http://www.venganza.org/2006/12/29/546/#comment-895455 Ham Nox Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:20:31 +0000 http://www.venganza.org/2006/12/29/546.htm#comment-895455 I for one feel insulted by the insinuation that the symbols and beliefs of my faith are but a mere mockery of the Judeo-Christian delusion. It's absolutely preposterous, for pastafarianism has CLEARLY been around much longer than Christianity as evidenced in the Open Letter and counting from the time that the FSM (Praise be him!) sends a few pastafarians to the beginning of time in case he has forgotten to do so before. What is this nonsense about the pirate fish being a dead Christian ichythus? I have neither seen nor heard any indication that the great holy pirate fish being a skeleton was intended to portray Christianity as 'dead'. It's just the natural course of things that a sacred pirate symbol would be a skeleton, for every good treasure needs a skeleton to guard it, and there needs be many old bones of fish long since gone to feeding the good 'lil buccaneers and wenches along with a delicious bowl of pasta. In any case the point of its specific meaning is moot. As pastafarianism came chronologically before Christianity, it could only be the latter that did any mocking. It removed both the holy symbol of a god-beloved pirate--the eyepatch--and destroyed the sign of prosperity and good eating for all man-kind by dressing it back in common fish flesh. Pray, what is to be found divine about a dumb old regular fish? ~Ham no Nox I for one feel insulted by the insinuation that the symbols and beliefs of my faith are but a mere mockery of the Judeo-Christian delusion.

Do you know if Firefox has any plugins for this? @ Captain & Booty – well said. I tried opening different tabs (and keep hoping the RSS feeds will update themselves).

I used to post quite a bit on the "BadMothersClub" site which was a lot easier to navigate, slightly different premis, you could just start a new thread if you wanted, but it was very easy to work out where you left off and catch up.
