fsm? what?

I stumbled upon your website and I just have to say, WHAT THE HECK? I’m trying to understand, but I just don’t get it. You invented your own religion that says pirates are holy and that we should pray to noodles? Are you on something? I’m trying to be open minded, but when I looked at your “evidence” all you had was people’s opinions. That’s all fine and well, but I need a little more proof than that. You can’t just go around making up new religions and shoving it down people’s throats. If I wanted to, I could say that the world was crated by aliens and that to go to heaven you have to be a gypsy and pray to cabbage, but that doesn’t make it true. Did you make this religion just to make fun of others or do you really believe it? If you do, the way you’re advertising it to the world isn’t going to make anyone take your religion seriously. And if the FSM is god and is the ultimate being in the universe, why would it take the form of a flying spaghetti monster. People are going to make fun of you even more than the mormons. If you’re trying to convert people put more information on the site, cause I looked at it and it still makes no sense to me.

Weirding me out a bit, but still curious,
Tina

    No, my dear, it’s not the cabbage you should be praying to. It’s the Tiramisu.

    Good god, you believe that some really bored old guy made man from mud. MUD! Why is that so much more believable than the FSM? This at least gives a reason why the carbon dating doesn’t work.

    “I’m trying to be open minded, but when I looked at your “evidence” all you had was people’s opinions.”
    Because the Gospels are /soo/ much more than that. In case you hadn’t noticed, they’re all how the Apostles interpreted Jesus’ actions. If you’re going to believe, like the Muslims, that God actually dictated the books word for word, then fine and good, that’s more than just somebody’s opinion. But Christianity actually says that those books were written by men. Plus, of course, the whole editing that went on a few centuries afterwards, and the fact that something will certainly have been lost in translation. I don’t know what, but then, if I did, it would hardly be ‘lost’, would it?
    So what makes that so much more valid? Is it just because it’s your holy book, so you believe it implicitly? If so, why shouldn’t we believe this website implicitly? (I don’t, by the way. I require proof of FSM’s existence. But I see it everywhere! By the way, has anyone noticed how much headphone cables resemble His noodly appendages?)

    “Did you make this religion just to make fun of others or do you really believe it?”
    Define ‘believe’. It’s certainly not much more ridiculous than thinking that Man looks like an invisible being and is made out of mud. Which, if you take Genesis literally, is what you will find.

    @Rowan C
    RAmen to that!

    I know this is a bit old, but remember we are dealing with the CyberSpace/Time Continuum here.

    My favorite line in her letter: “People are going to make fun of you even more than the mormons.”

    That is funny in so many ways that it makes my sides hurt.

    I like how she says that you don’t have enough information on there, but seemingly hasn’t read the FAQ.

    Isn’t the bible people’s opinions and basically every other religion opinion? You don’t have any evidence, neither do the Hindus, Buddhists or any body. ANYBODY!

    Well, as far as Buddhism’s concerned (at least in the Theravada sect), treating Siddhartha Gautama as an enlightened individual might technically be opinion, but not in the way you’re thinking, Alex. It’s not like they profess him to be a God–it’s more like, “Hey, here’s a guy who lived his life in a very noble way and set an example for having a peaceful and fulfilling life.”

    If you were of a mind to believe in a religion, why wouldn’t you choose anything other than Xtainity. Wouldn’t you rather be a Wiccan dancing naked in the moonlight and flying on a broomstick, or a pastafarian worshipping at the stripper factory. The Judeo-Chrisitian-Islamic god is just no fun at all. He dreary, angry, judgemental, demanding, humorless, and always reminding us of everything he done for us-like nailing his own kid to a tree in his underroos to make up for our remote ancestors fuck up when he’s not killing us and our little dogs too. Does anyone think he can throw a good party, given his track record? Who the hell do you think he’d sit you next to at your first dinner party in the afterlife. Probably James Dobson or George Bush. And do you think “W” will be a more scintillating conversationalist in the afterlife than he is in our current life? Plus, how much you wanna bet his table manners are atrocious? Better to go in another direction, there is some hot new age babe waiting to take you into her arms (among other places) if you convert to Wicca or FSM. And if you wind up going to hell, how much you wanna bet Hefner or Bil Maher tells some hilarious stories.

    So what Tina is saying here is that she needs a little bit more than hearsay to believe in His Noodliness. Does not the fact that the main books of the Bible were written a long time after the events therein took place make them hearsay? And yet Tina believes. And you cant just go around making up religions, can’t you? If it wasn’t for the Jews concocting the Old Testament from thin air and then people who weren’t even alive during Jesus’ time writing the New Testament then there would be no Bible at all. And as for shoving things down peoples’ throats, had Constantine not ditched paganism and decided to shove Christianity down everyone’s throat then I would not have had to spend an hour a week of my formative years bored shitless listening to some old fella speaking Latin. So there.

    well notice that “Ramen” is close to “Amen” and Roman Catholic was made first, it seems to me that the creator of this “Spaggheti” monster just copied it so they could make fun of it, but why just Christianity and Catholic, why did he just “choose” to make fun of this religion which every religion isn’t incredibly believable, i only believe in god, because theres no point in NOT believing in him, but i just think this guy made it because he likes noodles lol, but hey i like noodles too! and hey! maybe Jesus is friends with the monster and they play cards or something together! lol

    Dear Tina,

    Excellent point, religion shouldn’t just be based on hearsay. But I have a question for you, why wouldn’t the FSM take the form of a flying spaghetti monster??

Purchase the Gospel

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
