(some) Religious leaders testify in Senate on Global Warming

From Reuters:

Several religious leaders — Episcopal, Catholic, Jewish and evangelical Christian — agreed on Thursday on the need to confront global warming, while other faith representatives questioned the climate change threat.

I’m a little annoyed that no one thought to ask for OUR opinion on this. Pastarians had a view on Global Warming long before it became trendy. And OUR theory is backed by hard science. And a statistically significant graph, which, by the way, has been printed in more than a couple textbooks now.

Anyway, you can read the article here.

    I second Bobby Henderson’s point. We are the experts on the pirate to global warming association, after all.

    This is absolute discrimination against Pastafarianism. Who’s going to contact the ACLU about it?

    It’s a Republican plot. We were *purposely* not asked to join the meeting because they *knew* we knew the truth. And Republicans can’t risk having the truth come out, now, can they?

    Disgusting act of discrimination.
    And you would think the USA at least would be all for a “Cure” for global warming which didn’t involve reducing their carbon footprint! ;)
    Hugs all.

    You know how petty the other religions are. They are scared of being upstaged by the graph.

    Some of these religions talk about how you are to demonstrate your faith by testing it. Well, they seem to do so much to remove temptations that it shows how weak there faith really is.

    Global warming is doomed pirates are on the rise again. Pass the good word.

    I’m in trouble in that case because my only current pirate outfit is a bikini! Hmmm, I’ll need a more substantial outfit if it’s really going to get colder…

    it should also be noted that solar activity has been scientifically proven to be more effective towards global warming/ climate change than CO2, the FSM just tried to throw those christian whores off guard!

    @Ross
    Solar activity has short time cycles. While solar activity no doubt has an impact, don’t you think that it would even out? With solar activity varying around mostly the same average over the last 200 years, why would it have caused a systematic increase in temperature? I’m not the expert btw, so please enlighten if you have some time.

    Of course, we may have to go to the religious leaders to get our RECENT COMMENTS back, since Prophet Bobby isn’t giving them to us! So maybe I should retract that last statement.

    The more true pastafarians the less global warming! We dont need to be recognized by some old rich people, we can change the world by just wearing an eyepatch.. or a hat.. or even a full regalia with parrot and everything!

    So how do you explain the huge INCREASE in the number of PIRATES in the last several years (Somalia, Indonesia, Phillipines, etc.) and the corresponding increase in global temperatures?

    You Pastafarians are deluded sheep!

    We Erisians follow the one TRUE RELIGION!

    Only She can make both the temperature and the number of pirates increase!

    P.S.
    Please also note that PIRATES are most commonly found in HOT TROPICAL regions.

    They aren’t pirates they’re anti-pirates, if anything the FSM probably increased global warming for using pirates name invain. Pirates have parrots cutlasses and eyepatches. I just need the cutlass and I’m set =)

    I must say that global warming is not real. I have read the Bible form cover to cover and there is no mention of global warming, so it cannot be happening. Anyone that believes in global warming will feel a REAL burning in hell.

    I was kidding, sorry. Though I am a Christian, I think it is very funny that some Christians think that God is dead and can only talk through the Bible, ie: if it is not written then it is not. I thought some of the things written here were funny, and did not think that all of you were being serious. Sorry for the confusion. I do know that global warming is real, I do think that evolution and creationism can work together (I do not think that God or the spaghetti monster was going to tell primitive man how life came to be in a literal sense). I really did not think that any of you were serious or that you would take me seriously. And as for what is burning up Norway, I have it on good authority that Thor is angry and has focused his might on the people of Norway. ;) (that was also a joke) So sorry about all of the angery “Christians” that make the rest of us look dumb. (On eof the reasons I misspelled angry)

    =D

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
