I am very concerned about something

I read your web site and I am very concerned about something. I consider myself a good Christian and I have read the Bible many times (not like some of the so-called Christians people who post to your web site and just yell and say stupid things). So I am familiar with most parts of the Bible but in no place that I have seen is there any reference to pasta or a being that resembles your flying spaghetti monster. God created man, and man created pasta, but if it was any different than that there would be a reference in the Bible. So I am worried that perhaps your religion is not based on real evidence that God wrote. Please feel free to write back to me and I will be glad to discuss this with you if you like.

God bless,
Cinta

    I have heard of, and of course, eaten pasta but this thing you call the ‘bible’ is a complete mystery to me. I’m assuming it’s a book as you refer to reading it ?

    Dear Cinta,
    I’m sorry to have to break some bad news to you, but the holey bibble was not written by the judeo-xian god.
    It was written by Eris, the goddess of discord, chaos and confusion for the express purpose of screwing with people’s heads.
    To discover The Truth in all its Noodliness, read The Gospel Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster (Parmesan Be Upon Him), available from this website, and all good bookshops.

    Um, I’m afraid to tell you Cinta, but the Bible was written five hundred years after Jesus supposedly died. And also, what is there to disprove that FSM made us think that pasta was invented by man, after man? You can’t disprove our religion as much as we can’t disprove yours. But FSM is our god. ANd I find that entire article incredibly rude.

    You are not mentioned in the Bible, and that is how we know you are actually real.

    Your Bible(pronounced with a short “i” for comedic effect) is merely yet another souped up book of astrology myths, of course it would make no mention of the one, real, Noodly Creator. They put this “god” character in their as a place keeper because they did not yet know the the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It’s not even a particularly good astrology book; too much fluff. Greek tales are far more reliable. WE, however, refer to a more accurate, spiritual gospel.

    @ Pacific Pam – “Hey, I am also concerned about something…
    .
    1. How did Noah managed to put all those animals in a boat? This is such an easy answer, I’m surprised you even have to ask. They started with the oliphants…they ate the rhinos, the rhinos ate the lions, the lions ate the zebras, the zebras ate the koala bears etc. Then when the floods abated, everyone reguritated their inmates. The the boat captain, sailed around the world and returned all the South American tree frogs to South America, the kangaroos back to Australia etc. (Even though, those places hadn’t even been discovered yet. Ain’t god good!
    .
    2. How was the son of Adam (the one that killed his brother) judged by other people if they were the only people on earth? Wow, another easy one. The bible fails to clarify it because it doesn’t want to associate itself with the lower riff-raff of the trailer park world. God actually created Melvin and Edna first, but they were kinda like the red-necks of the human race and he decided to try again until he got it right. He gave each the nod to get the hell out of Kansas…I mean Eden, until he got it right. So when you see that Adam was the first dude created it really means the first one that god got right. So when Cain ran away to the land of Nod…
    .
    3. Where are the dinosaurs in the bible? Inside the animials on the Ark…how do you think they last the whole year without food? Someone had to die.
    .
    4. What happened to Jebus between the age of 13 and 33? Lets just say he was pretty busy between 25 and 32 trying to work spells to remove all the hair from his palms. Nudge, nudge, say no more…
    .
    5. Who drank my beer at the bar? Shit, was that your grog…sorry.
    .
    6. Where did I leave my condoms? Condoms, why you blasphemous wench, don’t you know that every sperm is sacred? Next thing you know you will be taking birth control pills!
    .
    7. Did I take my anti-baby pills this morning? See what did I tell you! May you burn in eternal hell fire for eternity. The job of every woman on earth is to bring forth more miniature fundies so they can be raised up to be all growed up fundies, who can then go out and multiply and write more hate mail. (Whoops, did I say multiply? Based on some of the posts, maybe they should start out with easy addition and subtraction first.)

    The Bible literalist has to be the worst representative of the over all christian religion. I look at the stories of Jesus in the Bible. These stories are examples to be used as a guide in life. It is an old document, but don’t kill people, don’t steal, love each other, and many other core teachings still hold true.

    @Christ4all – So if you don’t take the bible literally, why do you use it at all? Who says which parts of the bible are right or wrong? In your religion and your world, who gets to choose? You or some pulpit spewing bureaucrat?
    .
    Mankind doesn’t need another fairy tale to guide it. When I was a child my mother told me not to lie, to play nice and not to run with scissors. Just because the scissor thing isn’t in the bible, is it any less wrong then the others?
    .
    My point, is that a lot of practical and life enhancing advise and values have come from other sources that were never written in any so-called holy book(s) but have been adopted by people as valuable to their every day existence. Don’t step in front of a moving bus. Don’t play Russian roulette. Brush your teeth every day. So why in the world would we need a bible to tell us how to live life properly? Not only that, but a book which cannot be taken literally, even by believers. A book that is archaic, a book which is contradictory and a book which is has some pretty horrendous (and might I add, god approved) murders and tortures.
    .
    When I was in school and we were taking math, our textbooks actually were written with the idea that all of the information would be and was useful. So when talking about the bible, why would you write a book, which is meant to be the guideline for all of mankind, in such a bizarre, ambiguous, and peculiar way? If it was extremely important for your god = sky fairy that all people follow only his teachings, wouldn’t you think (s)he would make it crystal clear, believable and filled with such proofs that only an idiot would argue against it?
    .
    If your sky fairy wants to win the battle against satan and his minions, wouldn’t he actually try? Because even lowly little me, while working as a paramedic and taking care of pedofiles, crack addicts or murderers, made sure that I did not make the suffering of the individual worse.
    .
    Your bible, almost guarantees that there will be vast numbers of people who will question it, who will not believe in it. and in fact. will try to ensure that their children do not get sucked into it. Thus allowing millions of people to suffer unbearably in your lake of fire and torture forever and ever amen.

    @Iron Bess & Christ4All-
    I’ve herd the argument that parts of the bible should not be taken literally! But, as Bess pointed out, who decides which bits are symbolic and which are real. Couldn’t God (the first time I ever wrote that with a capital G) just be a metaphor for manes struggle to find himself? More likely it was written by people who wanted to explain the world but couldn’t so use the nearest comparison: they could create things so someone bigger created the bigger things. Religion may be the opium of the masses but it started as the science of the ignorant and to me that’s all it will ever be. A debunked theory.

    .
    To be honest with you Iron Bess, I choose. I look at what is written and try an interpert a message or moral of the story. My general impression of the New Testament is that we should love each other and try to live in peace.
    .
    The Old Testament was basically lifted from the Jews. I don’t speak hebrew, so I am not sure how closely it was translated.
    .
    I do not profess to know God’s plan. I do not know why God has not more public about things. The FSM has not exactly been appearing, either.
    .
    Iron Bess – the Gospel of the FSM falls into the same category. I had to ask the attendant where is was because I could not find it. Your book is in the humor section. I think that is unfair.

    @crist4all – I agree with Pluto. Religion, faith and a belief in magical invisible dieties has seen its day. In today’s world, where science can explain a lot of phenomena which ancient man could not, it becomes evident that ALL religious teachings should be regulated to the Humour Section, or at the very least, Mythology.
    .
    Religion is an organized group of deluded individuals. The only people who actually have it right are the televangelists and scientologists. Obviously they could give a rat’s ass about religion, they are out to exploit the masses for the money.
    .
    The only thing that religion is all about, and ever was about, is control. I can imagine what the first individual to realize the power that the hocus pocus of religion did for him/her was almost overwhelming. Control and power over the masses…euphoria! Give me your best food, your money, your livestock, your land, your women and I will give you my blessing so when you die you will continue to live and be happy ever after. It is the greatest of all scams. No one can ever come back from the dead and tell the people the truth. I think we call it the best of all the Matchstick Mens swindles.

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
