During the course of my research into condensed stages of DNA my colleague and I came upon this paper. “Nanoscopic structure of DNA condensed for gene delivery”, Dunlap et al, Nucleic Acids Research, (1997), Vol 25, No. 15, Pgs 3095-3101.
Please examine Figure 2c, and be enlightened.
In fact DNA seems to naturally condense into nano-toroids reminiscent of his Noodliness. Since DNA is the precursor for all life, and His image is seen in DNA, then we must assume that The Most High Pasta is in us all.
May his appendages be ever moist.

A real pirate can take his grog and still manage to navigate! In theory, until the stars above you start moving, or the little monsters on the part of the map labeled “There be Dragons here!” come alive, you have no excuse not to be a fully competent pirate at all times.

This includes when you’re asleep, in case our greatest foe, the Ninja, come at us in the dark.

I’m also testing to see if adding a website to my name is retroactive or not… I’m shirtless in the picture there, so sheild yer eyes!
Ok then all, with the lack of fundamentalists around I think many pastafarians are getting withdrawl symptoms *need…. something…to…laugh..at/…prove…..wrong* *takes long swig of grog* ohhhhh yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. thats nioce. anyway, i have decieded to (just this once) take up a fundamentalist position (don’t want to do this too many times, coz then i’ll get into heaven and not have anyone intelligent to talk to).
so…
THIS IS STUPID! jst becoz a bit of dna happens to look like spaghetti, it doesnt mean ur god is reel! that iz onli correct if it is a picture of our lord jesus in a bowl of soup. anythig elsse is a lye and you will go to hell and burn and die and be eternally punished for your sins and have red hot pokers stuffed up yor botoms. I EAT YOUR GOD! christanity dosent neeed a graph becoz it is the troof!
did i do good? *pleased look of anticipation*
*Note to Fundamentalists*
Apologies. I know most of yuo aren’t like this. Just the ones that post on this site :D
We’re all made of noodly stuff. Even you, Eggy.
Egg noodles are made of eggy and noodly stuff, Eggy.
Eggy. Very good! hahaha.
@ Eggy
Meh, is it really necessary to pick on the fundies completely unfounded?
.
I like to think they do a good enough job of making fun of themselves… *points to Kent Hovind, Ted Haggard, etc. etc.*
They generally don’t realise how rediculous they are though, so we should keep doing them the favour of pointing it out, more fun that way
COOL! im an FSM!
Ok, it’s official, I’ve converted to FSMism. I am convinced.

Romans 1:20-25
“From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship Him as God or even give Him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people, or birds and animals and snakes (and food). So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired, to dishonor their bodies among themselves. Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator Himself, who is to be forever praised. Amen”
Romans 1:20-25 “…They can clearly see His invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God…”

this argument has been put forward so many times it’s becoming dull, please reread some of the threads if you want a detailed answer, but i’ll summarise for you…

Navigator Spider. At soem point. “…bollocks…”
Actually, Spider, I see this as a biblical description of His Noodliness. The (and food) bit was added by Fanatic as a diversionary tactic, but clearly, this is further evidence supporting the existence of the FSM and disproving the Xtian god.

Well that rules the christian god out! So nice if they defeat their own arguments!
i prefer the more efficient answer. it’s satisfying to say…
@ Fanatic
‘God did it’ is just another way of saying ‘I don’t know’. Not understanding the universe is not proof of the existence of a god, but rather that we have much more to learn.
Being a lifelong atheist (before my conversion to FSMism that is…) I find it incredible that people still quote stuff written in the bronze age by an unknown author as convincing arguments. Just because it’s still there doesn’t make it right. Who knows what political/other agendas the writer had, who he was or if he was reliable even a couple of millenia ago? Or who has changed it for what purpose during the numerous translations? And by the way
‘They can clearly see His invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature. ‘
They can clearly see his invisible qualities??? Help? this person had to be smoking something. Not that I’m against that, per se…
I must say I was pleasantly surprised, I expected far more lash back then I received. A few took stabs at the scriptures I quoted, and the beliefs I cling to; but none made any stabs at me personally so thank you. I mean that, thank you. I also would like to thank you guys for allowing me to say my two cents. We obviously don’t see eye to eye, and I do recognize that quoting the Bible is almost pointless in such a forum; because for most the Bible is the very article in question, but no one attacked me for it so thanks. Were I as ignorant as some of those whom claim to believe the same as I, then I would try and rant and rave about “you’re goin’ to hell…” blah blah blah. Its humorous to me how they try and scare you into believing, but the means by which they wish to scare, you don’t believe in anyway.
I wont do that, what I will do though is perhaps even more crazy…I love you guys. I don’t know any of you, I will probably never see any of you, or perhaps we have already met and just don’t know it; either way I love you. Because Christ has shown me so much love I cant help but love all of you. I recognize that this may not mean much for most but know that I will lift up all of you in my prayers. May the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
In Christ,
Fanatic
wow. If that’s true, about the love thing, then I suppose you’re a really nice person. And I thank you for being polite and nice, and showing us that not all religious people are crazy bad grammer users. But on the other hand, you really don’t need to pray for me. I’m going to keep on believing what I believe, and that does not include your god. In fact, I probably will continue to not only disregard him but encourage others to do the same, becuase I think that he is simply a man made object that causes harm when you put him in certain places. But RAmen to you and your polite kindness. Cheers^_^
Fanatic. You really are welcome here. Please realise that non-christians can love others too! You don’t have a monopoly on it :)
.
Your last bit about the grace and mercy won’t go down too well here! It’s a bit like saying “Jesus was just a man, who died!” Or “God is a figment of your imagination” at your local baptist church!
