how many believers of the fsm have died for their belief when they could have simply renounced that belief and lived?I’ve noticed that atheist and / or FSM “believers” don’t have any really original arguments either.

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
No one hates the true FSM believers because they are an easy source of pasta, sauce, beer and you get to take Fridays off. who would want to kill them?
remember the FSM is a god of love and really dosn’t want to tell anyone what to do…dressing like a pirate and eating linguini are just suggestions not commandments, Okay..hmmm.?
I believe the current number of Pastafarians that have died for their beliefs is somewhere in the range of goose egg. I’ll have to check that though for anything official.

That’s a new one… argumentum ad mortem.

To die for a religion doesn’t make it true or right.
And another thing… “renounce their beliefs and live?” What the fuck is this 1632
Pastafarians get martyred all the time. But the great thing about this religion is that you don’t have to die to become a martyr. Take me for example. I must have been martyred about 57 times by now, & I’m still here.

since when is it a good thing to die?
I died for my belief in FSM, but a few days later I rose again. I have forgiven you for asking this question, Henry.d. I do not, however, forgive you your punctuation.
There are only as many atheistic arguments as there are theistic ones, because arguments for atheism are essentially counterarguments against theism. And how many new arguments have the religious presented in the past few decades that aren’t just new ways to look at the poor arguments of C.S. Lewis? As for Pastafarians, they have convincing arguments for the religion. For example, the Pirate/Global Warming correlation.
Although I must say it is nice to be getting some hate mail again

Hopefully none. However 10 million have refused to part with their parmesan under threat of attack by Al Dente!
Perhaps you could explain why you think martyrdom is a sacrifice for a true believer, not just a selfish shortcut to the best seats in heaven.
Original arguments? It’s called science, my friend!

I also really like the either at the end of his statement, he sort of acknowledges there his belief (whatever that is) has no original arguments.
the perpetrators of 9/11 were martyrs for THEIR religion….
was THAT a good thing?
may His Noodly Goodness shine down on you and bless you.
We don´t have original arguments, and I think you neither. But I’m prety sure that we have the truth and the pasta with us!
Yes, I love this religion more than any other right now, for a few reasons, it doesn’t have commandments, only recomendations, it is at peace and is a peaceful religion otherwise, the whole story is intruiging, and most of all it is humble, and doesn’t press people to join, like some other religions i can name.
Us Pastafarians don’t have any original arguments because we are parodying and satirising your arguments in order to show where the are wrong.
But we do have a better heaven than you. And a sense of humour. And beer.
I’m sure Henry thinks he has made a point here, but I have no idea what it could be. Not really surprising, if my assumption that he’s a fundie is correct. If I’m wrong, and he’s not a fundie, I’m sorry for the mischaracterization. Still can’t see any point being made, though.
None of US have died thats why were here. Anyway hundreds of thousands of pirates died at the hands of hare krishnas, we will never forget them.
We are peaceful we try to keep people from dying.
