I can’t believe you have spent so much time being sarcastic about how stupid you think faith in God is. People who have faith are not crazy, dillusional, or using religion as a crutch. I’ve heard it all. I don’t understand why people like you make fun of the single concept that believing in God comes down to–love. That’s all it’s really about. Making a mockery of something people feel passionate about is kind of a waste of time. I feel bad that you have gotten yourself so deep into this FSM thing and are surrounded by people who agree with you. Some things don’t have to make sense to you to be true.
I believe in what the Bible offers me because it all has a single underlying message: to be a pure and loving person. Although I’m not always, I want to strive to be…and this makes my life happier.
If you were to see a slideshow of your entire life, would you truly feel pride? Would you see yourself with images of sharing positive and happy emotion with others that isn’t based on making fun of Religion?
Someday you will come to a point where you’ll know the Truth. And you may not believe me now, but I’m just trying to help you…the day that you die, if you find yourself afraid and alone, just call out to Jesus. Just remember this.
p.s. check out George G, Ritchie’s Return From Tomorrow.

Another misguided fool. Read. READ!
We do not poke fun at any religions that do not deserve it. We may occassionally poke fun at certain followers of religions that deserve to have fun poked at them, but they deserve it too. :P

Sorry Carolyn, but people who believe in religion are sometimes crazy, always delusional, and frequently use it as a crutch. And no it does not come down to love – it comes down to believing in something that is not real and is just plain nonsense. Making a mockery of it is not a waste of time if it means that others will not be sucked in by the delusional nonsense that religion peddles. Oh and also, you do not need religion to be a pure and loving person – it is very easy to do that without religion of any sort.

So why don’t you just call love instead of god? And if some things don’t have to make sense to be true: I’m god. Worship me!

i agree with religion when it comes to loving people and having hope during life
but that is the only good part of religion, the other part promotes intolerance, discrimination, it gives power to certain people and it wants to replace science like if it were a bad thing

I may indeed call on Jesus just before I die. If, for example, I fall from a high building and see the ground coming up, I may indeed shout, “Oh, fucking Jesus!” On the other hand, I might cry, “Bollocks!”, meaning much the same thing. Neither will help much.

Hello Carolyn
I can’t believe you have spent so much time implying how stupid you think faith in the Spaghetti Monster is… We’ve heard it all on this site. I don’t understand why so many people can’t understand the single concept that believing in the Spaghetti Monster is FUN. That’s all it’s really about. Criticising something we people feel passionate about is kind of a waste of time my dear Carolyn!
I feel a bit sad that you have gotten yourself so deep into this God obsession thing and are (probably) surrounded by people who believe the same stuff and don’t give you a chance to explore any other ideas. Of course I respect your right to limit yourself mentally and spiritually, just as I respect the right of smokers to kill themselves slowly!
We on this site pretend to believe in the Spaghetti Monster (and intelligently discuss various ideas connected with science and faith) because it makes our lives fuller, funnier and happier. If we were to see a slideshow of our lives most of us would see ourselves sharing positive and happy emotions with others (also occasionally making fun of the wacky and fanatical aspects of religion)!
Most of us are trying to find the truth (without a capital T!) but we don’t think a guy called Jesus who maybe never existed and even if he did exist died a horrible death 2000 years ago can give us it (nor can the guys who distorted his ideas in the following centuries in order to gain money, power and oppressive control). I think that the day that I die I’ll call out to a doctor (if I can still speak!) and if I find myself afraid and alone I call up a sympathetic friend for a chat (not a poor guy who was brutally killed 2000 years ago for trying to be nice to people). Just remember this!
I am glad you were so polite in your email and didn’t use the usual Christian insulting tone, I’m sure you are a nice person and I respect your views, but please respect ours too (let’s live and let live, baby!)
Love from Tris

I wish all the “christians” who write in to this site were like you, trying “to be a pure and loving person”… but if they were like you, this site probably wouldn’t even need to exist! Unfortunately if you read their “hate mails” you will clearly see that they are not trying to be pure and loving. Instead they are mostly trying to be oppressive and hateful. They want to destroy other people’s right to free thought and to kill any alternative to their religious manias and to substitute science and logic with superstition and pathological deliriums (that is why Mr Henderson decided to set up the site in the first place!)

The funniest thing about this post is that you can actually hear your grandmothers voice saying all of it. Hey there Carolyn, you are actually the finest example of everything I personally hate about xtianity. You obviously believe anything that is spoon fed to you and I’m guessing that you are probably well into your 50’s or 60’s, am I right?, so there is no hope for you. If you believe the tales of the bible and that George G. Ritchie saw the other side then I would love for you to lend me a large sum of money that I promise I will pay back in the very near future.

Hi Carolyn,
“People who have faith are not crazy, dillusional, or using religion as a crutch.”
It’s not a requirement but try taking a look at some of the hate mail here.
Not delusional? In my opinion you are, as you put blind faith over evidence
Not using religion as a crutch? I’ve seen too many missionaries trying to convert people when they’re at their lowest to believe that.
“I don’t understand why people like you make fun of the single concept that believing in God comes down to–love. That’s all it’s really about.”
I have the love of real people in my life, I don’t need supernatural love.
“Making a mockery of something people feel passionate about is kind of a waste of time.”
Not when it comes to fighting the teaching of religion as science it isn’t.
“Some things don’t have to make sense to you to be true.”
But it helps and there should be some observable evidence to base things on.
“I feel bad that you have gotten yourself so deep into this FSM thing and are surrounded by people who agree with you.”
Feel bad, we’re quite happy with it. I feel bad you’re surrounded by Christians who agree with you.
“I believe in what the Bible offers me because it all has a single underlying message: to be a pure and loving person. Although I’m not always, I want to strive to be…and this makes my life happier.”
I’m a humanist, I believe in being a good and loving person. It’s similar except I don’t rely on a preachers to tell me what good and loving mean, I came up with my own standards. I don’t always get there either.
“If you were to see a slideshow of your entire life, would you truly feel pride?”
Yes
“Would you see yourself with images of sharing positive and happy emotion with others that isn’t based on making fun of Religion?”
The two aren’t linked. I do the former with no reference to the later.
“Someday you will come to a point where you’ll know the Truth”
Some day I’ll die and cease to be, knowing I lived a good life, a fun life and above all my life. Be careful, you may reach your death bed realising you wasted so much time believing in the lies of preachers.

It’s sad that you just don’t get what this movement is all about. It’s not about “being sarcastic about how stupid we think faith in God is”. As you can see, we believe the FSM is the creator of all things. What really annoys us is that some people are trying to teach religion in science classrooms (read the letter to the Kansas school board). That’s just wrong.
If you are going to include the absolutely religiously-funded “Intelligent design” in science classrooms alongside the scientifically proven theory of evolution, all we ask is that at least you include other religious points of view (dedicating them the same amount of time), such as Flying spaghetti monsterism.

If I were to see a slideshow of my entire life, I would definitely feel pride. You don’t need religion to be a good person. Though mocking organized religion brings me joy, it is not my entire life. I find joy in actually being a good person. You may be a good person because you believe in the Bible’s teachings, but many religious people are only good because they fear God’s wrath, and I don’t believe that that’s the mark of a good person.
But hey, thanks for giving us some literate hate mail. It’s very rare :]

The point of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster isn’t to mock people like you. I’m sure a nice person like you wouldn’t, for example, try to get your religious beliefs taught as science, and I’m sure you wouldn’t support legislation based on one religious view either. No doubt you accept the rights of gay people to get married if they want to. We reserve our scorn for those people who think that their religious beliefs give them the right to dictate the way we all live our lives.
As to whether people who are religious are delusional, of course most of you must be. Since no religion can claim a majority of the human race as believers, and only one of them can be right, most of you must be deluding yourselves. It’s a bit of a gamble, isn’t it?
It is, of course, perfectly possible to live a good and useful life without believing in god.

Ok that is concerned criticism, polite and honest, so don’t expect mockery of any kind from me.
.
First of all, I want you to know that most of us here have nothing against every message of love and peace that any person or book wants to transmit. We certainly are not mocking anything sensible and sensitive that Jesus said, for we are sensible and sensitive persons too. However, we do not believe that any kind of scripture is necessary for the application of these good values, that we believe are only human.
.
What we denounce is in fact the political and public dimension of religion nowadays, which insiduously tries to enforce middle age and antic scriptures values in our society. We want a secular society, which mean that religion is a private choice to everybody in the context of non-religious laws. That allows you to believe in the Bible and others to believe in the Coran or even Greek mythology, and everybody’s happy. Note that this allows us as well to make fun of religions, but it shouldn’t offend you because it is coherent with the respect of everybody’s (your) right to express their position on religion.
.
That was about the purpose of the FSM. Now you just said that something doesn’t not to make sense to me to be true. Well I would be interested in your definition of truth then. Your statement means that every religion contradicting yours is true as well because it makes sense to some people. But they cannot be all true at the same time, that is pure non-sense. I’m not talking about a great feeling about the meaning of life : I’m talking about scriptures : can they be all true? Why would someone write that? How can you compare this to the sectarian groups forming today? Are they so different? Think about it and may his noodly appendage be with you.

Dear Carolyn,
As I am reading this while having some fun scrolling the website, I could -alomst- agree with you. In the end love is or should be a central theme in one’s life. But I don’t think someone building this website is only sarcastic, I think a lot of things come from the feeling that some religious movements make it hard for other people to love or be loved. Another aspect I still can’t grasp, is why you believe all the Bible offers you just because of the underlying message. Why not live with the underlying message and leave the necessary Jesus out of it? I mean to say, would he have existed I would have definitely liked his stance towards the world, but that doesn’t mean yu’ll have to leave the rest of history aside to get inspiration for a good life from.
greetings,
Bart

—————————-
“Some things don’t have to make sense to you to be true.”
Correct, sometimes ‘love’ doesn’t make sense, but it’s true. It’s just something you feel…
A lot of people ‘feel’ god, but I’m sorry, I do not ‘feel’ him. But I do feel the lords warm appendages around me.

“I believe in what the Bible offers me because it all has a single underlying message: to be a pure and loving person. Although I’m not always, I want to strive to be…and this makes my life happier.”
Well, I’m not a xtian or whatever but I also strive to be a good person. Why do you think you have to be a xtian to be ‘good’? That’s so bullshit…

“If you were to see a slideshow of your entire life, would you truly feel pride? Would you see yourself with images of sharing positive and happy emotion with others that isn’t based on making fun of Religion?”
Yes, off course. Why wouldn’t I??? Do you really think that all non-believers are ‘bad people’? If you do, you have to come out of your house a bit more, misses.

“Someday you will come to a point where you’ll know the Truth.”
The same for you Carolyn…and you will go ‘ow ****, I wasted my whole life reading that bed-time-story-to-scare-little-children’
————————–
Well, I’m maybe little, but I’m not scared and I’m not a child. I’m happy to be a free-thinker. You xtians are always talking about ‘dying’ and what comes next. Well, I’m rather bussy with my life now, to feel good about it now, and to have no regrets about my life later, bc I don’t like the thought, ‘what if…’. And I say again, also to be a good person bc I find that also very important. Life is the only certainty you have, not ‘death’ or the very little possibility ‘what maybe might become afterwards’.
And IF there would be something afterwards, god/jesus and I would have a long talk, bc he really needs another job, he failed.
Btw, I don’t like tyrants, they don’t match with my political views.

Why would any god give us the ability to reason and question, if he did not want us to use our reason to question him?
Someday maybe you will, and then you’ll know the TRUTH!

Evidently you heard it but have no idea what we mean by it. Just because xianity is all about Love doesn’t mean there’s a God, it just means xianity is about Love. So’s the Kama Sutra.
“Making a mockery of something people feel passionate about is kind of a waste of time”
What else can we do? You can’t be reasoned with. We can’t argue or debate with you. We CAN, however, make fun of you and laugh at your naive attempts to “argue” your belief.

Yes, having seen religion for what it is, I would feel an intense amount of pride.
“Would you see yourself with images of sharing positive and happy emotion with others that isn’t based on making fun of Religion?”
Bold. You think making comments here encompasses the ENTIRETY of our lives?
“Someday you will come to a point where you’ll know the Truth. ”
I wish I could just say, “Right back at’cha”… but you’ll likely believe in this delusional crutch for the weak minded ’til you die. Then, just when you think Jesus will come to you, you’ll see beer volcanoes and stripper factories and be like, “crap.”

Personally , and from what I’ve seen here , a lot of people share my opinion Carolyn , I don’t think having faith in something is bad in its actual concept , its the rest .
I’ve asked a lot of questions , what do you want before being an atheist you start by asking yourself about the religions and the pre-made ideas , and all that stuff , so I’ve asked questions on extrem environements , the following answer is true , I’m not creating this :
Q. If you were to be poor , and had nothing to eat for 2 days , and you saw something to eat , within your grasp , would you take it even so this food doesn’t belongs to you ?
A. No , I would let myself die of hunger because it would be the decision of my Lord to take me back to His side .
Q.O Ok and if you had a baby or a young child with you , would you take the food for them ?
A . No , because I would respect the death of my child as the decision of my Lord and I would know that they would be at a better place .
This irationality ( and I did not invented it , I swear on my honor it was what she said ) is what I think we have to fight . We have to make people understand that without proofs of this beared dude in the sky , we can’t be this blinded . Holy Wars , fights , deaths , political fights , etc , etc , etc … and for what …. the idea of one invisible beared dude in the sky or the idea of a invisible dude with 5 arms , or the idea of reincarnation … there’s no proofs of their existances but people have killed in their names . What’s the difference between an invisible and flying beared guy or and invisible flying spaghety monster ? The underlying message is it same for every relligion : be pure , love the people around you and killing is bad . So what makes a religion better than an other , how do you choose a religion if they are all the same ? Finally , all the relligions are fighting each others for the name of the gods they have …. nothing else since the messages are the same ……
for conclusion I’ll write a little story I heard not too long ago and that’s a great humoristic picture on faith blinded people .
-There was a major flood and a building was evacuated , but one old man decided to stay in the building , saying :
- ‘ God will save me ! ‘
- The water started to sink the building , the first of 3 floors was already completely flooded . A boat went to the building and reached for the old man .
- ‘ God will save me , said the old man . ‘
- The water never stoped and finally took the second floor . A second boat went to the building and reached for the old man .
- ‘ God will save me , and the old man returned in the building .’
- When the building was completely flood , a chopper went on the top of it to save the old man who was standing there , simply waiting .
- ‘ I have faith , God will save me ! ‘
- And the old man died . When he finally got the Heaven he went directly to God and asked Him .
- ‘ Why haven’t you save me ? I had faith in You , but You never came ! ‘
- And God answered .
- ‘ I’ve send you two boats and a chopper , but you refused them . ‘
Don’t be like the old man , save yourself don’t wait for a sign !

Hello, Carolyn. I’m glad that you find self-betterment a worthwhile and satisfying process. I think most people do, or at least should. However, some of us think that self-betterment is due to a conscious effort on the part of the individual, and not due to an extracorporeal force working inside us. I’d agree with you that most religious people are perfectly sane, rational, and intelligent. What strikes me as odd, though, is why such people should believe that an undetectable spiritual force is what drives them towards self-betterment. Would you agree with the statement that it’s better to take your moral direction from your own heart, rather than what someone else says? Whether you agree or disagree, you might find it interesting to know that Yahweh of the Bible frowns on anyone following their own moral compass instead of Mosaic law, and promises to horribly curse those who do (Deuteronomy 29:19-20). Regardless of what the Bible may have to say, I think self-improvement has to start within, not without.

I share lots of fun emotions, not all are about ridiculing unsupported belief systems, but whatever brings you joy…so be it. You are free to believe in whatever entities you wish. Stay on your side of the theological divide and all is well. When you try to make me live my life in accordance with your beliefs…then we will have an issue, not before. Now as far as your Bible goes, it also commands that you burn animals, keep slaves, yadda yadda yadda. Now, how do you decide which parts of the infallible word of God to ignore?
Just curious as to the mental controtions involved.

Carolyn,
There have been times in my life when I’ve been afraid and alone, for example: when artillery and mortar rounds were falling all around me. Calling out to Jesus didn’t even produce an echo. The best secular survival technique was to find a hole and crawl in it.
You obviously find comfort in your religion. That’s good. Please just don’t try to convert us to your beliefs. But since you did, here are some counter thoughts.
You indicated that the basic message of the Bible is love. Pastafarians have read the Bible; parts of it describe great cruelty imposed on mankind by the Christian God. You have recited Sunday school teachings wherein those parts of the Bible are skipped over or explained as “God moving in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.”
Read the Old Testament carefully; you will be surprised at what you find. And because you take the Bible literally, you will have to accept those bloody stories as true. Then you will have to consider if those were the acts of a loving God.
-FN-

Wait. You start off so on track. That is how we feel about his noodliness. And you dare mock our god. Well lucky for you he doesn’t burn you for eternity for not believing in him – that would be retarded.
Some day you will come to know the Truth. Heaven has a stripper factory and a beer volcano. And pirates directly influence global temperatures.
Oh, and you love us, gee thanks.
Sauce be with you.

Some things don’t have to make sense to me to be true? Name one thing that doesn’t make sense but is true nonetheless. And remember, once something’s scientifically proven that theory makes “sense”
By the way, we’re not mocking love (except for the crazy kind of love). There ARE crazy, dillusional and crutchreligionwearing people. They’re the ones we mock. And I’ve SEEN it all (who cares about hearing).
Besides, I never was proud of my life, and if I knew back then what I knew now I would’ve done a better job, even though I’m doing top class right now and I have enough friends. I’m not proud of my life, but I’m proud to reject religion.
“If you were to see a slide show of your entire life, would you truly feel pride? Would you see yourself with images of sharing positive and happy emotion with others that isn’t based on making fun of Religion?”
Religion isn’t with a capital.
Anyways, of course everyone would. Everyone has one proud moment in his or her life. And everyone has had “happy emotion with others” (great grammar there). The fact that you have to ask this stupid question makes me laugh. What I think you’re trying to say is “are you proud and happy to piss on religion”? No, I’m not. I’m just here to see religious cooks contradict themselves.
Here’s a hint: stop capitalizing every single word you find “inspiring”. The truth is important, yes, though religion always seems to twist that thing. It does not deserve a capital however.
The day you die won’t have to be afraid and alone. Have you ever met someone who said his death was frightening and lonesome? NO of course not because all those people are dead already!

Carolyn,
Do you believe in dragons and fairies? Why not? Is that because it makes no sense to you that these creatures could exists and yet never have had their existence verified? Despite how much I love dragons and fairies, I would not blame you in the slightest if you said you did not believe in them; I would not even blame you if publicly mocked someone who wanted the existence of dragons and fairies to be taught in science class. I’m sorry if you are offended by the fact that I cannot accept as truth something that does not make sense to me, but I really can’t help it. Why would you God wire my brain that way and then punish me for something I can’t help? That really does not could “loving and pure” to me. RAmen.
