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.
-Andrea
[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
ahhhh, seems that the concept has gone way over your head… If you really think about Christianity isn`t much of it equally disturbing?

… er yeh, I think we fucking are babe *smiling sweetly* Isn’t it great! *grinning*. I mean there’s like nothing weird or scary or disturbing about some white grandfather type head (sans body) watching your every move and taking notes for some big telling off session later is there? But a spaghetti monster? cool! I had been into the IPU but this is more (ful)filling somehow – who doesn’t like pasta I mean, comeon! *grin* and invisible gods are just soooo last millenium, don’t you think?
Ok so you personally are ignoring your church’s teachings on the form of God, your church’s holy book and your priests’ sermons and are instead making your own mind up. Hey, same here *grin*… I call that a anti-organised religion viewpoint *grin*. Doesn’t stop me agreeing with ‘Love one another and love yourself’. I do that, every single day. often more than once. *grin*…

Uhh for one don’t swear in the title your god may not like it. If you don’t like the idea of The flying Spaghetti Monster, then don’t care, Believe in you invisible man in the clouds (personally i don’t see the point in choosing the man in clouds).
Also its funny that you, a christian, choose to quote George Carlin in this issue. Also when he said that he wasn’t really talkin about religion. Another thing, the whole Balls thing is a harmless pun, its not obscene, or should be looked down at.
Other than that o wholly agree with you on the rest of your statements.

No, we are not fucking kidding you. I am equally perplexed when looking at other people’s religion’s though. I find it hard to believe that people really think that if they telepathically accept a dead Jewish zombie carpenter as their master that they will be able to live forever in a gated community in the sky. But hey, I’m willing to live and let live if you are.

“Simply said, our religion is flawed. Big time.”
.
But this is the word of God and if it’s flawed that would make God flawed.
.
“So far, I got to “Love one another and love yourself””
.
Then that’s better than what most of the Bible teaches you. Why not just love one another and love yourself and be done with it? There’s no need for a god to tell you this, you already know it.

We’re forming a sect of Flying Rotini Monster followers, Andrea, maybe that representation of God would make more sense to you. In the interests of eccumenical (sp?) accord, Pastafarians of any shape should work together, but if you choose a different path to follow, you must admit we are all seeking the same goal of enlightenment.
Seriously, this Pastafarian idea has to be right on, because there’s criticism here from people who sincerely seem offended and others who are are really apalled. I think this idea has legs. Nice work!!

Hey, what can I say, it was a reasonably nice note compared to what some others leave here. I, personally, don’t care what you have to say about Pastafarianism, as you could care less about what I have to say about Christianity, but I respect that you are able to at least form a competent sentence. Andrea, all religions are flawed (and to an extreme degree, I might add), but so is mankind and everything that mankind spawns. Nothing is without flaw, even God. (that’s right, at least I have enough respect to capitalize it) I might not care for religion, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. I love the Bible, wonderful book it is, but I also love the Torah and the Vedas. I know that in the Old Testament, God is a maniacal, easily-angered, smite-machine. If you take my point of view, God is a creation of man |=| Man is flawed |=| God is flawed. However, if you choose to take the religious standpoint, you must see that God changes constantly, so however perfect he may be, he still has flaws. Let’s reverse the equation now. God creates Man |=| Man is Flawed |=| God is either, A.) flawed or B.) sociopathic.
There is my stand on the subject.

I leave you with one conundrum. “If God is so perfect, then can he make a boulder that he himself cannot lift?”

I don’t see what’s so hard to believe. Your “God” is some invisible guy that hasn’t showed his face since Jesus was born and his miracles have been apparently lacking during this modern era. FSM on the other hand is always there for us, we can’t see it either but we’re pretty sure he’s there too. It’s the only logical explanation.
And we know your religion is flawed, it’s religion.
Jimmy- I’m Irish, so if you could elaborate on all types of pastas (I’m assuming you’re high up in the Pastafairian church) that’d be really awesome.

“I see beyond the bible and beyond all the preaching”
.
I am wondering if Andrea really is a christian as she claims, since she doesn’t believe in the bible, or what other christians say about god.
.
“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” ” thinks Andrea
.
Actually the bible is pretty inconsistant about gods opinion on the matter, but nowhere does it suggest that God was trying to avoid getting caught up in a discussion of his fundamental nature when he urgently needs to get his point across, although this would explain why he never did the burning bush thing again as that just raises more questions.
.
Jacob (Genesis 32:30) claimed to have seen God face to face in human form, wrestled with him all night and lived, somehow i doubt Andrea would have believed him. Later on in the bible God tells Moses, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live” (Exodus 33:20). But God did permit Moses to see his backside (Exodus 33:23). No wonder muslims don’t allow him to be depicted.
.
Eventually God gives up on appearing in visions and avoiding going into detail, prefering to send his son to earth in human form to go over some of the finer points of Gods message which clearly hasn’t been getting through to everyone. There also appears to have been a change of policy since the days of Moses as Jesus tells us “Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God” (Matthew 5:8).
.
I sypathise with Andrea, unlike other Pastafarians I think that our supreme being is a Levitating Linguine Creature and the fundamental message of Pastafari is “Never eat anything bigger than your head”. Everything else is just elaboration.

1. You believe in your own god
2. You don’t care that charlatains are using your god to con people(since you’re past the bible and all that, and didn’t mention this point)
3. If you’ve seen past all the stuff that makes up your religeon, then you’re “Displaying your own morality standards”, not anything else.
As a fourth point, you should become a Pastafarian. You get to keep your own moral standards, and you get to put all religeous artifacts on the same level, and it would let you preach raw morality instead of one based on a deity, in addition to preaching that would reduce the false standards you’ve seen past.

I can really see nothing wrong with a belief like this. As far as I’m concerned, the general belief of “just be nice,” if one really follows it, pretty much makes up for any ridiculousness found along the way. If the Bible lets you reach that conclusion, then by all means, read it. What bothers me is when people start trying to force their beliefs on others, which, in case you didn’t know, is what pastafarianism was formed to combat. I myself am an Atheistic Pastafarian Discordian Unitarian Universalist, but I arrived at the “just be nice” part without religious intervention.

A lot of assumptions about this god and why it takes human form, plus the inability of the creatures it created to understand a god. Is this god into irony or just likes making life difficult for itself? Of course, this begs the question, how can a god make life difficult for itself. A strange mess indeed. At least we know what our god looks like and tastes like.

Just found this site today about two hours ago. I haven’t stopped laughing. It is just exactly the perfect response to so many things. From now on, when someone asks me to tell them what church I attend, I now have the answer!
What I don’t understand is the incredibly strong intense reaction to this site by indignant Christians. I thought they believed that they were made in God’s image – so their God swears, kills, threatens, and scares other humans? Where’s the love?
