Hello, I am a Christian, and I would just like to know, is their any proof of FSM? If so can you please show me the proof, or explain it to me over the web please, I am curios to know. I personally believe this is just some silly religion thought up by an over active imaginative mind of someone. Who told others, and the few that believed him were hopeless in life as it was to begin looking for someone to lead them, and show them the way, so they just followed whatever he said.

Divooneh, come on, there as much proof that your god exists as there is that the FSM exists. So now you understand how you and you’re religion looks from the other side. Pretty ridiculous, isn’t it?

Wait! I found it.
“If intelligent design (ID) is based on science, not faith, then it should fulfill the same criteria as any other scientific theory. One of the most important of these is Occam’s Razor, the principle that the best explanation for a given phenomenon is the one which is simplest, or to put it another way, raises the least new questions. Most ID theories fail the test of Occam’s Razor, because they do not define what entity is doing the designing, or they imply that some sort of god is responsible, which raises the question of whether this god actually exists. However, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism explains clearly who the intelligent designer is, and furthermore, unlike the case for god, there is ample experimental proof that spaghetti does actually exist. I therefore recommend that if ID is to be taught in schools, it should be made clear to students that FSM is by far the most plausible of the many competing ID theories. RAmen.“

Some days it’s like beating my head against a wall, but here we go again. Let’s turn your argument around. Is there any proof of the existence of god or jesus? If you can show me the proof, or explain it to me over the web please, i am curious to know.
The fact of the matter is that there is no proof for your beliefs either. You have a book, so do we. You have rituals, so do we. All religions are the result of an over active imagination. Ask yourself this: Why do you believe in god but not zeus? Jesus but not Marduk? The virgin mary but not horus. You believe in “the power of prayer”, but not wiccan magic. Why?
If you have any answers, just post them here. I bet everyone would love to see your “proof”

it was made up to battle creationism, im so fed up with people who don’t read the letter, we’re a group of people that require poof to sway us, THE WHOLE POINT OF OUR RELIGION is the miss use of “proof” by other religions. And as far as “I personally believe this is just some silly religion thought up by an over active imaginative mind of someone. Who told others, and the few that believed him were hopeless in life as it was to begin looking for someone to lead them, and show them the way, so they just followed whatever he said.” what are you on, you believe in a cosmic zombie, born without reproduction, from a poor jewish girl, and a ball of light, and spaghetti and pirates is far-fetched? show me the proof god exists and i will join you’re strange zombie religion, till then don’t come on our website, scan over it, then start bible thumping us. We have as much right to believe in silly things as you do so take a hike.

First, I suggest you read the site’s about page (link under the banner) and the links on the bottom of that page. Secondly, and your proof for your belief in xianity is? And don’t say the bible, we mean actual empirical evidence. So apart from the fact that there have been some types of xians for 2000 years or so and FSM has only been around a few years, they actually have about the same level of evidence. Plus, we have strippers, pasta and beer and, at best, you lot have tasteless crackers and bad wine. I know which I choose :)

We have an ancient tome named “The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster” which accurately depicts the creation of the universe. That should be proof enough for any christian, right?
“Who told others, and the few that believed him were hopeless in life as it was to begin looking for someone to lead them, and show them the way, so they just followed whatever he said.” Wait a second, that sounds familiar. Oh, I know, that is every single religion ever dreamt up.

Hey Mr. Christian
You are wrong about the claim that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is made up. He is real. In fact today when I showed up at work there was this instruction on how to use the new computers at our work. And in the manual the initials FSM where written. What else do these initials stand for? It can only be Flying Spaghetti Monster. That was clearly a sign from our maker.
It is not nice of you to compare my religion to Scientology or calling it silly. Lets just be nice to each other. That is what FSM wants from us.
You write that you are Christian.Can you show me some proof that Jesus walked on water, was born of a virgin and rose from the dead? Where is the proof for Christianity? I personally believe this is just some silly religion thought up by an over active imaginative mind of someone. Who told others, and the few that believed him were hopeless in life as it was to begin looking for someone to lead them, and show them the way, so they just followed whatever he said. ( much like scientology)
Also, on what page is penicillin and electricity mentioned in the Bible? I forgot that.

I think your description: “just some silly religion thought up by the over-active mind of someone who told others his wierd ideas” sounds like a pretty perfect explanation of the origins of Christianity and Muslimism and most other religions. I also agree with you that “those people who believed his ideas (and those of his followers) were too stupid, incompetent or lazy to look for meaning in their own lives (they were basically looking for someone to lead them and show them “the way”) and so they just followed whatever he (or his followers) said, no matter how bizarre it was.”
I think (reading between the lines of your text) you probably have a pretty good understanding of how religions work, although you have considerable difficulties in expressing yourself clearly! So excuse me if I have paraphrased your text a bit… but, let’s admit, it WAS expounded rather badly!
In fact I’m starting to realise that ugly grammar (such as endless strings of subordinate and relative clauses), terrible spelling, obsessive CAPITALIZATION, non-sequiturs and clumsy, confused or ambiguous expression of over-complicated and undigested ideas is rather typical of religious “believers”!
I suggest that you guys read some real literature, instead of the bible, which is one of the worst written books in world literature. Let’s face it, if you only read that book all the time it’s no wonder most of you sound illiterate and are unable to string 3 simple concepts together in a comprehensible way…
I suggest you start with something simple like “James and the Giant Peach” or “Harry Potter” and move on to Richard Dawkins (his ideas will probably open your eyes and mind a bit too!)

This is just the point. There is no proof that a flying spaghetti monster exists (All Hail) nor will there ever be. You can say that there is a God somewhere that knows everything and controls the destiny of your soul after you expire, and there is no way to prove that he doesn’t exist. But likewise, there is no way to prove that there is no flying spaghetti monster flying around the universe somewhere with similar omnipotent powers. The point is that just because you can’t prove that something doesn’t exist does not lend it any more credibility for being true. I must applaud you for pointing out the obvious rediculousness of the FSM, now if you could only turn that laser-beam around. . . I assume that you ask for proof because you have a syllogism or two offering proof of the existence of your God. Please post them, and we can have a discussion on where the falacies lie, or where they premises are based on misinformation or a misrepresentation of facts. I promise to be civil. . .
