Ah… yet another ‘fringe’ relgion

Ah… yet another ‘fringe’ religion trying to go main stream. Yet I wonder if you realize that standardized religion was set in place to keep the general masses in line? You see there was no standardized religion in the beginning. It wasn’t until the general populace started to become unruly that anyone decided to slap religion upon them. That way the leaders of the church could easily control those who threatened to topple their empires by creating a set of rules. I find it funny that supposedly only the leaders of these churches commune with “God” or whatever you choose to call your ‘creator’.
To be frank, I find your religion to be quite humorous. I also have something to point out that has been pointed out before… Why is it that your ‘creator’ is a mass of wheat, meat and tomato sauce? What if spaghetti had never been invented? What would you choose to idolize as your ‘creator’ then? I find it sad that you have sucked in these poor, directionless people. I personally find it sad that anyone needs to look to religion to find some sort of meaning to their life. We fear that which we do not understand. It’s simple human nature. If you feel the need to have a god, or goddess, or flying spaghetti monster or whatever run your life for you… fine. I still pitty you.
As for the doctor pointing to the bacteria as “proof” that a flying spaghetti monster exists… Please, don’t feed these people false hope. What you depict is simply a bacterium. Those tendrils or ‘noodles’ as I’m sure you call them, are simply a means of propelling the microbe through fluid. Be that water, blood, whatever. Your ‘pirate’ weatherman? Simply a man who had eye surgery and must wear an eyepatch to protect it from becoming infected. Your swimming ‘FSM’ in Northern California? Kelp. More commonly known as seaweed, but in fact the two are different. And finally… your proof that ‘Pastafarianism’ (which might I add isn’t clever at all) began in Israel? Simply a work of modern art placed in an old temple.
The name ‘Pastafarianism’ is actually a clever play on ‘Rastafarianism’, which was started by a Jamaican man named Rastafari. I find it sad that so many people believe so devoutly in this well thought out and well played joke. To see that so many people fight for this just proves my theory that humans are impulsive, dim-witted creatures that try so desperately to explain that which they can find no plausible answer to by turning to religion.
In closing I must state that the ‘global warming issue’ isn’t an issue at all. In fact the world still hasn’t fully come out of it’s second ice age and the rising tempuratures we are seeing are a result of that. Once more an example of humans fearing that which they do not understand. We try to explain things that frighten us. It is simply human nature. Also I must ask why you think that pirates are a different species than humans? I believe you said something about humans sharing 95% of their DNA with primates (specifically chimps if I remember correctly) and over 99% with pirates. Please… how many of you are truly that ignorant?
-Sincerely,
A devout believer in letting things be [Kieran]

    Good point PP, i guess gamers aren’t known for their tanned, toned, athletic bodies… they’re usually two steps from deaths door to begin with… skinny, malnurished and so white they are almost transparent. Now that i think about it, i bet most gamers would only last about 13 minutes lost outdoors.
    you’re a smart man PP, i guess comparing a gamer to an experienced outdoorsman is like comparing apples and oranges… or a sick dying ferrel cat to a cougar. I’m impressed you caught onto that, and thats just another reason I’m voting for Peter Popoff for pres in 08!!!

Although i did my research online so i have no idea if what i found was accurate. Needless to say, Mormons are a strange lot either way. If anywone else knows what the Mormons really believe please post it, i’d like to know.

    BTW, if anyone has not seen the South Park Mormon episode i highly recomend you go find it, it’s well worth the time. It’s almost as good as the episode they did on Scientology, which is also a pretty accurate representation of what scientologists believe. I can’t believe anyone would beleive the ramblings or a talentless science fiction writer as truth or religion. My old room mate was not a scientologist but he was a big Hubbard fan and had alot of his books. He also believe scientology to be a huge joke but still loved to read the books. Anyway, when i asked him about scientology he said South Park was right on but that alot of scientologists don’t believe it all, they tend to pick and choose. But i think everyone can agree that Tom Cruise is a Fu@$ing retard regardless of what other scientologists believe.

    Cari was born in Utah, in the very heart of Mormon country. Let me start by being fair–some of my best friends really ARE Moes. But the belief system is so incredibly (and I use that word deliberately–as in “not credible”) bizarre that I just have to refuse to discuss religion with those friends. A lot of the stuff is kept really secret, but once in awhile you’ll find someone who used to believe but is now pissed-off enough to spill. I don’t remember enough about it to make a knowledgable statement. Oh, except that if you’re a Very Good Mormon, you can become a god on your own planet. Or world. Something. And the “no coffee/tea” thing is because of the caffeine–our bodies are our temples, etc., and we must take good care of them. Okay, so they may be on to something there–they also have a very well-organized social support system for their own people. But the religious beliefs–holy SHIT! Bobby, were you reading the Book of Mormon before you had your Divine Revelation about FSM? (Oh, yeah–and I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve heard that the woods in which Joseph Smith had his revelation has patches of–yep–hallucinogenic molds! But wait–Bobby doesn’t do drugs. So he can’t be a Godly Brother to Joseph Smith, after all.) Okay, enough stream-of-consciousness self-indulgence for one afternoon.

    I just wanted to point out during the discussion with WWII that when Alchemist said that “Mistakes were made. Making Stalin an ally was one of the worst”, I thought that was kind of ignorant for many reasons. One of the most important was the fact that without the USSR help, the Allies would not have taken Normandy and they would not have gain a good grip with the entire Axis’s power concentrated on pushing back the Allies. With the Soviets pushing on Germany’s eastern front, you had a split in German forces. As insignificant as that might be to people these days after the announcement of Stalin’s crimes, this caused the death of many German soldiers when they made way to Moscow. The Soviets had a bad habit of retreating and waiting out sieges which always went their way (look at Napoleon as the other example). Oh, and I’m not Russian btw not that a Russian would be exactly proud to call Stalin as the once leader of the USSR.

    On the subject of Mormonism…I debated one and they are quite ignorant and the funny thing was that they brought up the subject of ID. Well, I personally didn’t mind a religion that was half paganism and half Christianity because I’d thought that they’d have more sense in their roots. Needless to say, I was wrong about that and the result was about 19 pages of “discussion” on the subject of religion and politics which was then swiftly deleted by an admin for “flaming”. Of course, a second topic was quickly created named, Religion and Politics II but that didn’t go for more than 9 pages max. The book of Mormons is probably one of the weirdest pieces of literature that I have chosen to read.

    Why should we go to bible study though? We acheive much of a similar thing here. We study the bible probably more than we would in church. The difference is, here, we don’t ignore or term as metaphorical all the bible’s references to;
    keeping slaves,
    screwing your own daughters,
    selling your daughters AS slaves,
    banning women from speaking in churches,
    not touching women for one week a month,
    stoning people who work on the sabbath,
    killing people who believe differently,
    killing people who engage in premarital sex,
    killing whole cities because of homosexuality,
    etc etc
    .
    There is a reason many of us stopped following Yahweh, Thumper. I’d rather stick with a nice peaceful religion like this one. We may savage people on discusion threads, but we don’t murder people at abortion clinics.

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
