Please tell me the Forum will be back…:?
Hurray! It’s back!
CoFSM is back!
I don’t think Bobby is allowed to get a medal.
So Zankou, Aristotle and me get Gold,Silver and Bronze.
That bestows on me the…plaster medal. Whatever, The first thing I noticed was the absence of advertisements, even those of Bobby’s own products. I was wondering why I couldn’t get here for a while. I hope the forum comes back soon.
It’s alive :)))
We need a topic…just so we can go off it (:))
Cool. Hope it’s a bit more reliable than the last one! All the best with the changeover.

Hi Rowdy (:))
Back to bed here shortly :)
The Cutty Sark was an accident. How many times do I have to explain.
I was drunk. I didn’t want Nikkiee to drink all the rum while I was out (as per usual) so I got drunk before the mission not after.
OK so that wasn’t a very good idea and now a perfectly good pirate ship is a cinder.
So I hope we can all learn from this experience?

That’s why I will never drink. I don’t have any problem with others drinking. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just that I’d rather not have breaks in my memory or accidents involving fire. (But I do like non-accident pyromaniacal activities.)

You were being Ironic when you said that, right? That’s exactly what the Christians say. (”We created pasta. How can something we created create us?”) They just don’t get it.
I think the Googlists have been over here pinching out hate mail. I think I might complain!
Hi Nikkiee,

The anti-Google fundie you quote reminds me a lot of our most-foul spoken fundie that you linked to a couple of times. I guess HDD is universal.

Hey,
I reckon we should find a piece of CoFSM hate-mail that could be interpreted equally to apply to CoG and CoFSM and send it to them in an abuse exchange.

The challenge is to find a piece posted as a head thread of ‘Hate-Mail and Concerned Criticism’ that would work for CoG…

According to wovelscotch (Hatemail #6), “[The Bible] is not a boring book.” I beg to differ.
That was real honest piratry (?sp), ۞! My admiration on that! :)
@Aristotle
Some Protestant fundies here in Northern Ireland consider the pope to be the anti-christ. If Microsoft is both satan and thirsty for money, would you think they would go as far as moving into the viagra business to make a few bucks, the way the vatican is doing?

“as long as it doesn’t go against any of the “I’d rather you didn’ts”.”
Umm…err…oops (:))))
But they started it :p))
I have to admit, Google has done an awesome job. I’m 100% pastafarian but I want to give them kudos somewhere on their page if I can. However it does look a lot like a rip off of Pastafarianism. Theres too many paralells =\ but I could be wrong, they might have gotten the idea out of nowhere…
I’ve always seen pastafarianism as a protest to intelligent design which I support, as well as any opposition to other religious dictum which attempts to subvert rationality, but under Googlism’s FAQ the purpose of their religion seems to be…
.
“The main purpose of Googlism is to promote the spread of knowledge through the use of Google. There is nothing on Earth that connects people with the knowledge they desire as fast and effectively as Google. We believe in the cliche cliché “knowledge is power”, and so should you.”
.
It’s all good until I read that part, where it just seems to pass out of good fun and reconnect with making money. If I can’t respect the reason behind something then I can’t respect the thing itself. It’s still funny though.
@Raz - What does it have to do with money? I don’t see it. Promoting the spread of knowledge is one of the most important things to do in the world (in my opinion).
Ahah! Does it go against one of the “I’d rather you didn’ts?” I do have a copy of the Gospel, but I can’t remember them. I suspected it might. I’m sure we can come up with something equally delicious without disappointing Him.
.
On a side note entirely, my daughter informed me yesterday that she is going to be depressed for the entire month of July. When asked why, she said it was because the final Harry Potter book is coming out, and she’s anticipating being very sad when it is over. She said that there will be helplines in operation to assist people with their feelings after they read the last book.
.
I said, “It’s fiction.” Then I started to think about what is real vs fictional? Fiction can be very powerful, and it can move people to very real emotions and actions. The lines can get blurred.
.
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is, for all intents and purposes, a real religion for me. Dictionary.com’s #6 entry for religion is “6. something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience.” It doesn’t matter if it’s real or fiction. The issues underlying the development of the CoFSM are very real.
.
I told you it was a side note. I’m too tired to make any deep summarizing statements. I guess I brought it up because I, like Raz, feel that the CoFSM has an actual cause in which I believe. The Googlism thing is cute, but I can’t just go believing everything I’m told, right?
.
In the words of John Mellencamp, “You gotta stand for something, or you’re gonna fall for anything.”
Aristotle: keep up the jokes now and then, I don’t know much knock knock stuff (not English speaking there is…) :)
Raz: I agree, you really have to appreciate the googlism idea!

The one that may be relevant to this letter is no. 1:
.
Remember these are (in grand piractical tradition) not so much rules more your sort of guidelines and all he his rather we didn’t was act like sanctimonious holier-than-thou asses when we’re describing his noodly goodness.
So it OK for us to criticise so long as we don’t go overboard on and sanctimony.
.
It does say its OK for people not to believe in him, but how can they live by his teachings if they don’t believe in him?
So atheism isn’t a sin but inevitably leads to sin such as not dressing as a pirate or eating enough pasta.
So they still need to get a grip or they are going straight to Hell and I don’t mean a lovely trip to Norway. Oh No.
