You must be fucking kidding me :| i came across this site while i was googling for innocent “i’m sorry” messages… but the whole idea of having a wad of spaghetti as a god whom you all look up to, is like, sorry to say, disturbing. I know god has no physical form and it is just a state to help people understand better what is beyond our brain capabilities to understand certain matters, but a wad of spaghetti, well, just doesn’t cut it for me.

[and a little while later…]
In the about screen quote: “…mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs”. So this is what it’s all about? It’s all a big prick-waving dick-fight? I’m Christian as well, and as I have stated above, I don’t believe our God is in a human form. Our God got his “human” form because it was much simpler to preach to people about our religion without having to go into detail of what is and what is not a “god”. Simply said, our religion is flawed. Big time. But still, I see beyond that and I see beyond the bible and beyond all the preaching, and form my own opinion of what the representatives of God are trying to tell us. So far, I got to “Love one another and love yourself”. The rest is an elaboration of that statement.

Andrea..
I am just a suprised as you are. I heard my colleagues talk about the Theory of the Spagheti Monster and I thought they were kidding me. When I came across this, I just laughed my arse off. Do these people really expect the world to believe such non-sense?? I am a Christian myself and I guess as crazy as the theory of evolution is, I SWEAR the noodly appendage hogwash is just CRAP!!!
I don’t see how a “wad of spaghetti” is any less ridiculous than “a man being bled to death to save all of humanity from the horrible sin of two naked people having eaten an apple given to them by a talking snake.”

At least we don’t kill anybody.
What the FUCK???????????????/ LOL……
Every time I read one of these rants I get the giggles!
These idiots are an endless source of humor.

If every Xian out there were capable of reflection and self awareness on the same level as you, there wouldn’t be a problem with fundies and ID in schools.
That said…
“I know god has no physical form and it is just a state to help people understand better what is beyond our brain capabilities to understand certain matters”
I find that science works really well for me when I’m trying to understand things beyond my immediate comprehension. I also try meditating on philosophy, thinking about morality and ethics, and talking with people about what we all think. I find that this constructive approach to learning has really worked to open my mind and has helped me understand the intangible universe. What’s god got to do with it?
I prefer my deities noodly, and with beer.
…So what you are saying is…god is a shapeshifter? If that is the case then we may have to refraze the “our God has larger balls than theirs” phrase. Becuase if your God can shapeshift he can just adjust his ball size at will, and thats not exactly fair.

Andrea, do you know what a satire is? If you are so wise and can “I see beyond that and I see beyond the bible and beyond all the preaching”, then why can’t you see through a bunch of silly jibs at the Christian and/or Religious community trying to put Intelligent Design in our classrooms.

Oh and about your religiou. Whats all this bullshit about “forming your own opinion” about god and yet you still say you are a christian. You say you see through all the bullshit? No, you just dont have the meat balls to up and say, “Yeah, I believe in some crazy shit, so what?” You realize the Christian religion makes very little acutal sence. So you make up your own shit to justify religion. Wake up, its all a sham.

Yeah…I can feel the love in the title of your post.
Andrea,
I’m glad to see someone is actually posting in the hate-mail who is not completely bashing fsm and has gone ahead and thought about what they were going to say before posting. However. “Love one another and love yourself” is an awesome quote symbolizing what should definitely be. It’s sad to think about how people in the dark past of christianity have totaly blew by this simple idea. I don’t think I have to go into the crusades or the inquisition but clearly love was not in the air at that present time as much as decaying flesh was. Similarly, i find it ironic that everyone says christians love everyone when they have sexism in their own church. They don’t even let the nuns teach what they have devoted their life to as they let the priests. Strange eh? I am not bashing christianity seeing as the ‘good book’ has many good moral stories in it… but i think you are seriously overlooking fsm as a whole, and letting his noodley appendages take away from what he actually stands for. And if you cannot take this joke for what it is… a joke… “…mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs”, then i don’t know what else to say to you.

I love myself once a day…….You’re missing the point.
Judging by the last line of her argument, I think Andrea may be a closeted Pastafarian.

Well, to us a 50 ft. giant living in the clouds, or an invisible all powerful deity is disturbing, how could you believe in that? ew yucky.

i dont under stand you!? stop sending us crap!
“I know god has no physical form…”
Wow…you know that? Or do you just believe it? There’s a difference.

I want to believe.
“Simply said, our religion is flawed. Big time. But still, I see beyond that and I see beyond the bible and beyond all the preaching, and form my own opinion of what the representatives of God are trying to tell us.”
Sounds to me like you aren’t really a Christian. I mean, after all, a true Christian takes the Bible as the ultimate unblemished word of God, right? I think alot of fundamentalists would condemn you for using free thought, yet you would still be associated, and maybe even advocate, the irrationalities of the fundamentalist movement. Try to take the next step and let go of your religous conceptions. Because honestly, while the FSM is outrageously unbelievable (and purposefully so), in its coneptual framework it is not very different from your God.
“i came across this site while i was googling for innocent “i’m sorry” messages”
Actually, if someone is apologizing, doesn’t that imply that they’re guilty of something that deserves an apology? Not so innocent, I’d say. Or am I going off on an irrelevent tangent?
“…a wad of spaghetti as a god whom you all look up to…”
Mostly I look down on him when he’s sitting on my plate waiting for me to partake of him. (I didn’t intend for that to sound dirty. I’m innocent. Sorry.)

P.S. There’s this key on the keyboard called “shift.” Play around with it, see what it does.
I love myself. Does that make me Christian?
Well, if your god has no physical form (true, since he doesn’t exist), and ours is a Flying Spaghetti Monster with meatballs (also true, because clearly he created the universe) then it follows directly that our god’s balls are, in fact, larger than your god’s balls. QED.
Yes, your religion is flawed. That’s because the FSM is the creator of the universe. But try our religion out. As Jim Jones might have said, were he Pastafarian, drink the Kool Aid. Or marinara, if you’d rather. Check us out for 30 days. If you don’t like us, your old religion will almost certainly take you back. After all, Andrea, we agree with you. Loving self and others should be the basis of modern society, in some sense. And with the loose moral standards our Noodly Master teaches, there should be plenty of opportunities for both.
I know god has no physical form
that’s too bad, andrea, because he could be composed of deliciously cooked pasta (with white sauce!), but instead you opted for a formless, dickless, full-roaming vapor.
Seriously, how can you say you know god has no physical form? Don’t you mean that you believe it? Epistemologically, I think you’re a bit confused on the validity and origin of knowledge and what it means to know something vs. believing something.
Our God blah blah blah Yahweh blah blah blah Allah blah blah blah…. they all performed miracles and have chosen prophets and promise everlasting life and and SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE and all have different angles. Don’t you realize that the point of things like FSM is to point out the lack of foresight or the ability of common Christians to question their faith?
This is based on some idiot arguing to teach Intelligent Design next to Evolution. One is quantifiable and one has no basis other than some intangible concept known as faith. The point of FSM is that if you have no basis for your argument other than I JUST BELIEVE and THE BIBLE SAYS… or the Qu ran says… or the Torah says… or the GOOD NEWS says… then you cannot teach that in a scientific course! If Darwin wrote a book and said well here is my opinion (which he did) and all of a sudden it got a following of those who believed it without questioning it and testing his hypothesis (which was not accurate since he had no concept of genetic material or random mutations) then intelligent design and the Theory of Evolution could be taught side by side. If you want to understand what FSM is about look in a mirror because you are ranting just like the rest of the crazy Christians.
If you can believe that God created all things on Earth, then I can believe FSM created all things on earth.
So do they not teach satire in American schools any more?
