I came across your site through Answers in Genesis. I have a couple of comments to make.Anyone can make up a religion these days. What you propose to people is just silly. Lets be real here.
What is your authority to say how things started? I ask because we must go back to some authority in which we can say such things. Also, how can you then get to Heaven? How are we saved? Why are we in the mess, that we are?
Jesus Christ died for us, so that we could have life. Can you say the same thing about your “God”?
2Pe 2:1
But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. 1 These false teachers 2 will 3 infiltrate your midst 4 with destructive heresies, 5 even to the point of 6 denying the Master who bought them. As a result, they will bring 7 swift destruction on themselves.2Pe 2:2
And many will follow their debauched lifestyles. 1 Because of these false teachers, 2 the way of truth will be slandered. 32Pe 2:19
Although these false teachers promise 1 such people 2 freedom, they themselves are enslaved to 3 immorality. 4 For whatever a person succumbs to, to that he is enslaved. 57:13 “Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide and the way is spacious that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 7:14 But the gate is narrow and the way is difficult that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

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
I am reminded of the story of the pot calling the kettle black.

Jesus died for you? I’m willing to bet that your parents and their parents were Christian. Isn’t it extremely lucky that you just happened to be brought up in the one correct religion? If you were born in Saudi Arabia, you would be Muslim. If you were born in ancient Norway, you would believe in Thor. How fortunate- and not at all suspect and sad- that you think that the religion that you just happened to be indoctrinated into as a child is the correct one.
You are just not getting it, Joel. You should have FAITH in his Noodliness. Ever heard the word before? Flying Spaghetti Monster is whom we get our HOPE from. And faith is a virtue. We are the people of the covenant, the chosen people of His Noodliness. His Noodliness created us. Just he is not masochistic enought to die for us on a cross. He can give us his eternal blessing without that. Why don’t you wake up and see that His Noodliness loves you, that his appendages are touching you all over.
Joel, notice, this website has nothing to do with the Bible (though it mocks it), and more to do with science.
I don’t mind if you think your religion is right; I think my Shinto beliefs is just as correct. It is good to openly accept others religious system, lest we avoid any religious wars.
I DO care if you think you religion is science (or vice versa). The scientific view requires utmost skepticism, and a mind that only believes in what one sees, feel, hear, smell, and taste. It has nothing to do with spiritualism and supernaturals. And science never should.
While I fear others after me will post terrible comments, please understand this: we do not stand against Christianity. Many of us are Christians, believe it or not, but we all believe that religion should not be taught as science. Religion and science must remain separate. This is our only goal.

Thank you for your concern.
geek took the words right out of my mouth…..nothing like qouting the bible to set things straight:)
And to say that beleiving in the Flying Spaghetti Monster is any more ridiculous than beleiving in Christianity, let met pose the idea of Christianity in these terms:
“The belief that a cosmic, Jewish, zombie (he did rise from the dead) can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so that he can remove an evil force from your ’soul’, that happens to be present in all humanity, because a woman created from a mans rib was convinced by a talking snake to eat an apple from a magical tree.”
Yea…..that makes ALOT more sense than FSM.

of course anyone can make up a religion. ALL religions were made up by someone, or a group of someones. just because a religion was made up a long time ago does not mean that it is any more or less valid than a religion that was made up recently. the fsm offers just as much proof as the christian bible. its all there, if you take the time to read it.

Well, I might be wrong here, but to answer your question about why we are here in this mess were in or whatnot.
-
The FSM created all of us and this world and the universe and all that junk in a drunken fit. Later, after realizing His blunder, He decided that it would be best to take responsibility for His creation, and so He created heaven. You see, He does not feel that it is fair to punish us for mistakes we make during an existence which He imposed on us. What a kind and fair Monster He is.

I hope this clears things up.
Joel, I’m very please you were able to come across our website. I, in fact, just came across your wifes face while screaming praise to your god and jesus.
“Jesus Christ died for us, so that we could have life”
Sorry dude, I’m not really into religions that promote human sacrifice. Also, I find it rather revealing that the hard-core Christians that post on this site have completely missed the point of all this. I mean completely. All of their posts just prove the point that they arent using their brains.
Joel,
.
We believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster through his word, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (available from amazon.com). We get to heaven for staying true to his Noodliness, preaching his word in full pirate regalia, and eating of his body. We do not need to be saved seeing as people are inherently good…the mess we are in is due to good people being ruined by bad, man-made things (i.e. religion other than Pastafarianism). Our god didn’t need to die for us seeing as he knows we are good people, besides, he gives his body to us every day (yum).
.
As for your scripture selections, your god sounds spiteful, mean, and not nearly as yummy. Think about coming over to the light side…laugh a little…and realize (brace yourself)…This site is SATIRE. How many times do we have to tell you this. Look at how easily I replaced “Christianity” with “Pastafarianism.” Think about it…how hard is it to found a religion knowing the things that people want to hear?
.
Joel, get away from answers in genesis, they knowingly distort scientific, philosophical and even religious fact in order to sway people looking for easy answers. Answers come from searching the library and your mind, not from bible-toting fundamentalists.

Well, at least he used decent grammar and the smaller portion of his brain. That’s more than I could say for most commenters.
Obviously, another case of squirreline encephalitis.
To any Christian wanting to quote their bible at me to try and get me to abandon His Noodliness, I give you this bible quote:
“What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?”
1 Corinthians 5:12
In other words, leave me alone.

To answer your questions:
-Our authority is the many FSM sightings, and also the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. You can have your Jesus-pancakes and bible. This is what we have.
-You get to heaven by believing in the FSM and following the 8 I’d-really-rather-you-didn’ts. And there’s no need for us to be saved because we don’t believe that everyone is a sinner.
-If the “mess” that you’re referring to is global warming, it’s because we persecuted all the pirates. Pirates=cooler earth. If the mess you’re referring to is war, well, that’s not the FSM’s fault. All the wars going on currently have to do with religious extremists forcing their beliefs on others. The FSM doesn’t condone that. The religious extremists are clearly not Pastafarians.

Am I leaving out any messes?

What is your authority to say how things started? I ask because we must go back to some authority in which we can say such things.
I said it before and I’ll say it again: The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster said it. I believe it. That settles it.
Also, how can you then get to Heaven? How are we saved?
No worries! The FSM loves all his creations! Follow the eight “I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts” and you should be fine.
Why are we in the mess, that we are?
Too much intolerance. It’s very sad.
Jesus Christ died for us, so that we could have life. Can you say the same thing about your “God”?
We can say even better! The FSM lets us have life without anyone having to get nailed to anything.
Yeah! I like the “Geek” ’s answer. If I had a meatball for everytime I had Jesus thrown at me living in the south.
My other problem is that I became a Pastafarian right about the same time as I went once a low-carb diet.
Any sugestions? Is being a Anti-pasto-farian the same as becoming a satanist in christianity?

“What you propose to people is just silly.”
Any sillier than a bearded sky ferry watching every single humans every move and thought? I think not.
“What is your authority to say how things started?”
What is yours? Oh wait, I remember reading something on this. It was called the Nicean Creed I believe. A bunch of people in 325 AD got together and voted on what Christan belief should be. What was thier authority?
You go ahead and quote your Story Book all you want. Just because someone wrote it down a couple thousand years ago doesn’t make it true (oh yeah, someone wrote it down, then someone else read it, and wrote it down differently, then someone new read it and rewrote it differently, and etc. etc. It’s a really long game of Religious Telephone.)

You’re just asking for it, aren’t you?
“What is your authority to say how things started?”- an interesting question to ask, and it’ even more interesting that you would bae the validity of our argument upon it. Working on the principle that we have to have the correct authority in order to have a valid opinion, you clearly don’t have one. Hell, it’s not even your opinion- YOU’RE “living for jesus”.
.
.
And could YOU answer these questions, baed on christian teachings?
“how can you then get to Heaven? How are we saved? Why are we in the mess, that we are?”
Hell no you can’t.
Maybe I’ll add one of my own to your little compilation of un-answerable questions:
Why can’t you understand how to use commas?
.
.
Jesus Christ died for us, so that we could have life. Can you say the same thing about your “God”?-
Answer: No, we can’t say the same thing about our God, he’s clearly still alive….
OH WAIT, that’s actually vastly superior to being dead.
Also, Jesus didn;t die to give us life, you dipshit. He died to make a point about beleiving in your God through faith. Im not going to go into it, but people write essays on this kind of stuff.
.
.
I could go on, but I have more important things to do…
…Like doing nothing.
I don’t mean to offend because i consider this my second religion but it is a joke. It was made to piss off people who believe in perfect design. bty i’m catholic and don’t believe in it
Joel,
Our religion has authority that is as equally based in evidence as yours is. His Noodly Greatness even warned us about you.
The Holy Noodle: The Flood
“Then the Flying Spaghetti Monster saw that the wickedness of Man was great on earth, and that every thought of the little midget was ruled by his stomach.”
Joel, if I may 1 ask a question, why did you 2 add numbers into 3 your letter? I found it 4 very disrupting to 5 read when there were all these 6 numbers in between your 7 words. Alas, 8 I think we shall never 9 know the 10 truth as to why 11 Joel did this.
