Hello my name is Christian which means servant of the Christ

Hello my name is Christian which means servant of the Christ. The LORD says that in the end, many false teachers will rise, darwin, muhammed and even your own bobby. I will not be swayed because i have met God. God warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals because they don’t understand them. When you accept God, you are entered by the Holy Spirit of God Himself. That is why i cannot ever be convinced of your fruitless lies. I have personally seen the great power God commands. I will continue to log onto this site for a long time now. For if even one soul be saved while i am here, well in good deeds, none is greater. The LORD is my shield. I will never be convinced by words because words are not as powerful as actions. God has granted me great faith and understanding and as long as the earth endures i will fear no evil for God is with me. You will call me stupid and you will mock me, but unless you become as powerful as Holy Yahweh overnight, and then share a portion of that power with me so that i may never die, i will not be fooled. For the whole world will HATE you because of me-Jesus to His followers- I beg thee to end this, then you will see and and the Truth will shine like 1000 suns. May the Lord Jesus rule over God’s people forever Amen.
-Christian

    If god wants everyone in heaven, why doesn’t he show himself? Or, do something cool, like, make all the stars on the sky form into a text “There is a god, and the church that is right is ” . Oh, and which of the tens of thousands branches of Christianity is the right one?

    Requiring totally blind faith, and then punishing people for not accepting arguments like “It’s true, cause it’s in the Bible” with eternal damnation is… well… he’d have to be a real asshole.

    Hello, my name is David, it means “beloved”, but I don’t ever feel the need to point that out to people. I WAS going to call you stupid and mock you but you cleverly diffused that rebuttal. Regardless of what you believe, I think you have completely missed the point of what the Flying Spaghetti Monster is all about. I’m not about to preach my values onto others, so if you don’t understand the FSM then I hope you feel content in your ignorance of the bigger issue at hand.

    “I will not be swayed because i have met God”
    No, you think you have met God, you were really hallucinating, the hallucination was brought on by the FSM’s spicy sauce, prove to me your meetings with god weren’t all in your head… can’t can you?

    “God warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals because they don’t understand them”
    No, you cannot explain them because there is no evidence to suggest the supernatural exists… except for the FSM cause he’s super-natural

    “That is why i cannot ever be convinced of your fruitless lies”
    I do believe it is your lies which are fruitless, you have proved nothing except your own ignorance and how easily you are swayed by your easily fallible human mind. Yet again i ask you, can you prove that your meeting with god wasn’t just a hallucination and/or a lie? No, you can’t

    “but unless you become as powerful as Holy Yahweh”
    I exist… which means im already more powerful than your non-existant mind-fairy

    For a religion that speaks of love and forgiveness your words are really hatefull and you almost sent us burning in the thousands possibles hells that may exisist ( for all we know ….there maybe’s … no hell !!!! ). You know dude , if I am here ( and I may not speak only for myself here) have seen the suposed path of god , heard of him all my life , but as a man of science and not of faith , I only saw the wholes in this religion , the problems , the non-logical answers I was given . Then I decided to look the other religions but there again , I never been convinced and only saw that theese religions weren’t as flawless as they saidthey were .Then I searched over the internet and His Noodly Appendage touched me , I found a way to pass my message to extremists of every religions , not only christians or whatever religion . A message in the form of a wake-up call , a way to show to every one , why they should open their eyes and not stay blinded by a light that may only exist in their heads and the heads of their fellow members.

    And as a pastafarian , I will keep you somme volcano beer on ice , near a striper factory and we’ll laught at this .

    Besides, we don’t hate you because of Jesus. Apparently, Christians love to pull that line out of their ass if they are hated for any reason.

    No, we hate Christians for different reasons. To be clear, we don’t hate all Christians. When we do hate them, we hate them because of different reasons, like, I don’t know, Inquisitions, hypocrisy, faulty arguments, threats, attacks, theocracy, suppression of rights…

    Now I’m wondering, why do they hate us?

    “thee”? Make up your mind Christian. Either you use flowery archaic talk or you don’t, mixtures are an abomination.

    Saying Yahweh is forbidden in the Jewish beliefs, follow the rules of the religion you throw in our faces. The proper way to write it is “YHWH”.

    I know Christians are a Jewish sect, but you’re supposed to call the man “God”, not Yahweh or Jehova.

    Also, if you seem to prefer actions over words that much, stop freaking talking. There’s a word for not listening to words by the way. It’s called being thickheaded.

    It is it pretty clear from you post that you are so deeply invested in your religious beliefs because they give you an excuse to think that you are above other people (seriously, did you read what you wrote before you posted it? It sounds like you are claiming to be Jesus or some other kind of immortal) You had better hope that the Christian god does not exist, because it’s my understanding that pride and hate are big no-nos according to the Christian faith.

    Hello, Christian which means servant of Christ,

    I really do hope you are logging in periodically and come across this.

    So you met God, eh? You know, whenever somebody claims they’ve met their deity of their choice, it’s always something like, “Then (insert god here) told me to (cleanse, oppress, wear frilly things) and start a (church, synagogue, mosque) to get everyone else to (cleanse, oppress, wear frilly things)…” Why isn’t it ever, “Well, (insert god) told me that everything was alright, be more tolerant to other people, and I was doing a good job. Then we played Parcheesi for a while.”

    “God warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals…” What exactly are you implying? You aren’t like us pitiful mortals? Do you plan to smash us with your mighty fists of rage?

    Doesn’t this hit the nail on the head- “For the whole world will HATE you because of me-Jesus to His followers…” Why hate me because I don’t believe what you do? Why not hate me because I boinked your mom? I mean, 9/11, the Holocaust, et cetera ad nauseaum, happened because of people like you. Speaking of your mom, instead of cleansing us, start cleansing your mom. This rash really itches.

    “I will never be convinced by words because words are not as powerful as actions.” Same here, matey. I would be slightly more inclined to believe you, if you weren’t trying to force your beliefs down everyone else’s throat. Take my advice, please. Do everyone a favor and stop logging in on religious sites* trying to convert people. You are just making yourself a target. Try charity, tolerance, humanism, and all the other good stuff your religion has slowly neglected.

    Look, I really don’t have a problem with your beliefs. In fact, I’m glad you are happy with your choice. I happen to be happy with mine. So, I really don’t see why you have a problem with me and my church.

    May you be touched by His Noodley Appendage, Christian which means servant of Christ. RAmen.

    Hello, my name is Insightful Ape. Whic means the ape that knows, because we are all African apes, but most of us don’t know it.
    So God warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals because they won’t understand…and yet he is going to send me to hell for not understanding? Gee, what a sadist.
    Compare that to the FSM. His noodliness doesn’t even care if you believe in Him. He is not jealous because he knows he is the creator. What you think won’t change that. So who is the loftier god?
    And what is the story with “entering into god with holy spirit”? Is that a sexual reference?
    I will not fall for your lies, for action speak louder than words. Unless you can promise me that I will never die. And don’t try to tell me what your god will do for me after I die. I like beer and strippers a lot better.
    I do encourage you to keep us company, it gets boring without hate mail-and maybe one day in the process you will be touched by his noodly appendages and be saved.
    Peace and hope, may the FSM bless us all. I can only pray that our Noodly master will save you from yourself and false preachers.

And the invisible man has a list of ten special things that he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry for ever and ever ´til the end of time…but he loves you.”–George Carlin

    Well, why the fuck do they care? If they’re comfortable in their faith, why does it matter what a group of people having fun think?

    Because they have this indoctrinated superiority complex and feel that it is their job to flaunt their faith and save the rest of the world.

    We encourage you to continue to develop your skills further at Catholic and Mormon sites that are always looking for converters. We will review your letter should we have any openings in the future.

    Thank you for applying for the position. We hope that you can continue converting in other areas successfully. We wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

Really!), that he should fear no evil because she was with him, and such.

    God told me I should mock Christian so she could continue the ruse. She told Christian that his being mocked proved her existence.

    Christian the chucklehead, hello, just read your manifesto and it’s nice to know who I’m dealing with.
    I won’t try to persuade you of my point of view but I do have a question. If the universe is really 14.5 billion years old, and begun with a big bang, and if earth if 4.5 billion years old, and if as our science tells us, life evolved on earth a few hundred million years after earth accreted, and evolved for nearly 4 billion years before humankind made its appearance a mere 100,000 years ago, then how is mankind responsible for the existence of death and suffering in the world? After all, isn’t death and suffering the mechanism which drove life to evolve and create the diversity we see in our biosphere today?
    And if death has always been part of the bargain of being alive, and if humans evolved gradually from a group of lower level hominids, rather than being spontaneously created by a supreme being out of the clay of the earth, then what of original sin? Clearly we do not all share the same two original ancestors, so how can we share in the sin? Moreover, since we know that death was part of the bargain for all life since the beginning of life, what of the idea that death is the punishment god inflicted on all creation for the sin of the original two humans? In other words if there could be no original sin because there could be no two original humans who created original death, what is that you savior is saving us from? Death? Last time I looked on the obituary pages, death is still there. Disease still exists, so what is it that Jesus did that was so wonderful? Get nailed to a tree in his underoos to propitiate dad for the evil nature of humankind when it was dear of dad who created that nature? And why no slack on earthly suffering, why didn’t the death of J.C. by humankind a cure from at least on earthly travail, say, Congestive Heart Failure, or Diabetes, or Cancer, or maybe just stupidity? Why no concrete evidence that the deed even happened. Why not do it in the Anderson Cooper era instead of the Josephus of Arimethea era. In short, isn’t your religion just a cure looking for a disease?

    I share my power with you by mocking you. Which means that you follow me now, slave.

    Now get me some beer.

    “God warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals because they don’t understand them.”

    Great stuff.

    The funny thing is, you can’t explain the complete farce of religion to christians for the SAME REASON. They don’t understand, the them, faith and myth are the same as fact and observation.

    Anyone who uses “thee” in 2008, is certifiable. And thank you but WE already do see the truth. Truth is observable and can be confirmed over and over again by anyone. Faith and Religion CAN NOT. They are NOT observable and they are not confirmable. I have seen no evidence of any invisible sky man. When I see some, I’ll reconsider.

    No one here really cares about your point of view. You didn’t meet God, because if you did you would shut the hell up and find something positive to do with your time. “Christian” means Christ-like, stupid! All your psychobabble about Heaven and Hell is as stale as a bag of croutons.

    And who invited you to the party,anyway? You represent the very worst of christianity and religious zealotry. Pompous, over-bearing, and inerrant! Rather than trying to see an alternative view, trying to open your mind and shut your mouth, you reverse the process.

    If there was a Heaven(and there isn’t), you wouldn’t be welcome. All you can do is hate and deny. Your afterlife will be rife with zitty, stretch-marked strippers and flat, green beer. People like yourself think they are TOO GOOD for His Noodly embrace. So much the better. That means more beer for us! Yes, I’m mocking your belief in the Big Empty. I fart in your general direction!

    Hello my name is Christian which means servant of the Christ.

    My name is after the wife of Trojan hero, Aeneas.

    The LORD says that in the end, many false teachers will rise, darwin, muhammed and even your own bobby.

    Very rude and disrespectful not to capitalize all those proper nouns. You’d be getting a lot of red pen from your teacher. Also, Lord doesn’t need full caps, unless you regularly shout that word in conversation.

    I will not be swayed because i have met God. God warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals because they don’t understand them.

    Sounds like the smug kind of thing I’d expect a god to say. But funny how you’re better than everyone else that God met with you and told you all about it. Aren’t you special.

    When you accept God, you are entered by the Holy Spirit of God Himself.

    That sounds perverse. I’m married.

    That is why i cannot ever be convinced of your fruitless lies. I have personally seen the great power God commands.

    What was that? Share, tell, explain. That’s what I’d expect a servant of Christ to do.

    I will continue to log onto this site for a long time now. For if even one soul be saved while i am here, well in good deeds, none is greater.

    Hast thou lost the ability to form complete sentences? Are you being entered right now?

    The LORD is my shield.

    You try that on the front line, let us know how it works out for you.

    I will never be convinced by words because words are not as powerful as actions.

    And the Bible is full of words. Funny that.

    God has granted me great faith and understanding and as long as the earth endures i will fear no evil for God is with me.

    Then what are you waiting for? Introduce us, already. Where is he? Did you leave him outside in the car?

    You will call me stupid and you will mock me,

    No, I feel sorry for you because you are, most likely, the product of several generations of religious programming and have never considered challenging or questioning the faith that has been forced on your since before conception.

    …but unless you become as powerful as Holy Yahweh overnight, and then share a portion of that power with me so that i may never die, i will not be fooled.

    You get to share God’s power? He gives you power? What power? What power do you have that we don’t? If you can be invisible, or lift monster trucks, have laser eyes, then I may reconsider. As far as living forever, I have not seen a longer life expectancy for Christians over any other human.

    For the whole world will HATE you because of me

    Well I wouldn’t want that, so, sorry Christian but I don’t want to be friends with you if the world will hate me for it. The world is a pretty big place to be passing on all that hate.

    -Jesus to His followers- I beg thee to end this, then you will see and and the Truth will shine like 1000 suns. May the Lord Jesus rule over God’s people forever Amen.
    -Christian

    You know, I beg thee to end this as well.

    Really… go and tell a devout Muslim that God warned us of that fraud known as Muhammad, I dare you…lol BTW you’re right Muhammad is a fraud as is Jesus.

    Let’s look at it logically; a god would give his followers a sign so that they would know they are on the right path. Both Jesus and Muhammad talk of a sky fairy for which there is no proof yet we have all seen a plate of spaghetti and meatballs – the proof is there right in front of us. Your god is either too lazy, ignorant or stupid to show us proof OR he doesn’t exist, either way he’s hardly worth praying to ;)

    Many things have stopped a bullet. A sheriff’s badge, an mp3 player, a delivery pizza bag full of pizza, a laptop, the cartilage in a man’s nose, even a person’s braces have stopped a bullet. However, it hasn’t been proven yet the ‘The LORD’ could stop a bullet. Now, of course I would never propose we put you in front of a gun to test how bulletproof ‘The LORD’ is. Maybe we can set up a dummy, and put ‘The LORD’ in front of it? It would make an interesting experiment. However, my intuition tells me it wouldn’t be enough. Maybe try a Bible? A paper shield is much better than no shield at all. :D

    Mare

    (P.S. I wonder if there would be any difference if we pit the Bible against the Koran, or even the Gospel of the FSM? His Noodley Goodness could stop a bullet. I just don’t know if The Noodley One would bother. There would be a lot of data to manipulate. ;) )

    @ Bruno The Pig,

    The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost(or Spirit) is a reference to the Holy Trinity. It is derived from Catholicism and early 1700 christianity.
    Father is God, Son is Jesus, and Holy Ghost is the worshipper feeling that they have been possessed by the presence of God. Many religions use the reference as part of communion cathechisms, while others refuse to believe in the Trinity because of the belief that God cannot sub-divide himself into separate, yet equal entities. It only adds to the confusing nature of christianity, as the many demoninations place higher emphasis on the possession aspect(being in the spirit, speaking in tongues, faith healing) rather than the messiah complex(Jesus as rabbinical and Old testament law reformer, removal of priesthood as spokesmen of God vs. direct prayer to God).

    This is why Bobby’s enlightenment of the FSM is so important: it has removed all that confusing crap that humans have put into religion to control human behavior and replaced it with open-minded, spicy goodness. OH, and pirates, mountains and a midgit!

    May your beerstein never empty, and your stripper never want a tip for services rendered!

    You can’t argue with fundamentalists, so I won’t argue with Christian, it has no point. So I will make some observations. Logic does not work on them. The primary reason is that they spent so much time believing that they let their thinking skills rust. Critical thinking is a skill, and like any skill if you don’t use it, it deteriorates and eventually becomes useless. This is not the case with all religious people, just with fundamentalists. The problem lies in my opinion in laziness. It is inherently easier to believe than to think. Fundamentalists can rationalize, but because their critical thinking skills are so poor their rationalizations are usually baseless, or to shaky to stand up to scrutiny.
    They also fall back on circular arguments to make their case. Most of you know this but incase Christian wants to know, a circular argument is where you try to prove your argument for something by relying on that something to prove itself. An example of this is trying to prove God exists because of the Bible, trying to argue that God exists because the Bible says so, is a poor argument and not one that will be taken seriously. This is also why their Creationist arguments don’t hold water. They fail on so many levels to use logic or critical thinking. They latch on to any shaky science they can to attempt to prove their point without really knowing anything about science, or critically thinking about the argument. The pocket watch/car/etc. arguments comes to mind, and let’s not forget irreducible complexity which doesn’t work either, and no Behe’s argument is as ridiculous as the rest of them (how he calls himself a scientist perplexes me and others in my field).
    Before I get called an atheist, let me say I am not. I believe in God, I just don’t believe in the version of him presented by organized religion, I can’t, I respect him too much.

Your God asks me for advice and permission to do just about anything including the creation of the universe. Don’t believe me? Ask your God. He’ll tel you if I let him. I might. I also might not since you are such a misguided little paddawon. I bet you have absolutely no knowledge as to the history of your religion at all, do you? You don’t even know that the whole thing is a metaphor for several of the older religions that existed 2,000 years ago. Let me ask you one question and I do expect a reply. If you were to meet your God right now, would you be able to pass judgement or would you fail? You certainly don’t seem to turn the other cheek very well and you also seem to be far too obsessed with converting others as opposed to helping others. Your God absolutely deplores close minded people. He gave us brains to use, you know? Not to sit around and hate others for thinking differently. If he did, don’t you think that makes God look incredibly paranoid? “Oh no! That one thinks differently. Smite him!” We are supposed to think in many different ways and look at things through different eyes. God expects us to be intelligent and not follow blindly from some mistranslated old fictional book.

    Once more unto the contradictions, dear friends. Christian, in your posting you say that “I will never be convinced by words because words are not as powerful as actions”, and yet you blindly follow the Bible made up of, yes you guessed it, words. I wonder how many ‘actions’ you have witnessed? i.e. along the lines of resurrecting the dead, walking on water etc?

    Has anyone checked to see when this was actually sent by Christian? Judging by the archaic belief system expressed and use of the word ‘thee’ it may have been sent prior to the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason, which would date it as no later than the early eighteenth century.

    I suspect that it may have been sent later as there was little or no access to the Internet in those days and email was in its infancy. If so, then Christian has clearly missed out on the last 300-odd years of western philosophical thought.

    Christian if you’re reading this, I suggest you start catching up with the rest of us and reading René Descartes would probably be a good place to start. He believed in a god just like you do, so you shouldn’t feel too out of your depth with him.

    Hello my name is Lucifer which means up yours moronic Christian.

    @ Bruno The Pig. Let me explain the Trinity to you. It is simple.

    Christ, according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the Holy Ghost the third. Each of these persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten just the same before as after. . . .

    So, it is declared that the Father is God, and the Son God, and the Holy Ghost God, and that these three Gods make one God.

    According to the celestial multiplication table, once one is three, and three times one is one, and according to heavenly subtraction, if we take two from three, three are left. The addition is equally peculiar, if we add two to one, we have but one. . . .

    @ Bruno The Pig, do you get it now?

    Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.

    That’s funny Christian, because I also met God, and he said “LOL, can you believe what a tool Christian is? He totally bought that entire load of shit! What a stupid noob!”

    I swear that’s what he told me. I swear it on my immortal soul.

    But seriously, here are some fun lines for everyone:

    “Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.”
    ~Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
    Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
    ~Epicurus (341–270 B.C.E.)

    “One of the proofs of the immortality of the soul is that myriads have believed in it. They have also believed the world was flat.”

    You know, it’s a mighty fine coincidence that you were named Christian, because there are not too many other religions that are tailor-made to a person’s name. Cat Stevens had that problem when he converted to Islam, just not enough personal pizz-azz. Just think if your parents had the foresight to name you something like, oh I don’t know… John, we wouldn’t be mocking your deluded reality. Or maybe you would be on here condeming us because pizza is better than spaghetti (due to your messianic namesake).

    And Christian, since you seem to be on such personal terms with the sky-wizard himself, I am in need of an entertainer for a friend’s birthday. Does he do personal parties? Are his rates competitive? Is there a special rate for the “water to wine” trick?

    HEY EVERYONE for once the guy who writes the hate mail is back and it’s better than ever!!! where to begin…

    “I serve God.”
    Yup your slavery to God came across in your first thrilling chapter.

    “I do no miracles”
    We never suggested you do miracles, in fact the point was that you and your “God” don’t do miracles – when we say stuff just assume we’re mocking you. It’s simpler that way.

    “I will die. I will live after i die.”
    Who are you, Zombie Jesus?

    “I have not literally met God.”
    Then why did you say you met him before? Seems like you’re a little confused. Was it just a phone conversation or you heard stories from a friend and they were so convincing you forgot you hadn’t actually met him. That must be it.

    “I believe the earth is 6000 years old(approx)”
    Good thing you kept the approx in there otherwise how could you account for the 4539994000 year (approx) difference in your all knowing estimate compared to actual evidence.
    “I do not believe in evolution”
    If anything I have the biggest problem with this sentence – evolution isn’t about “belief”. Science is not about belief. Science is about observation. If anything this is the key difference between cults – I mean religions and science. Anything considered science can be seen, heard, felt, smelt, tasted (or experience by any other extra senses) by anyone. The anecdotal evidence of religion cannot.
    “Everything i have said is true.”
    Truth is subjective. You BELIEVE it to be true but that doesn’t make it so. Like a 60-year old man in a mental hospital may BELIEVE he is Marilyn Monroe, in his mind this is the truth but it does not make it so.
    “What say you, you who mock The Most High”
    Talking like that does not score you any points. I think I’ve said my bit.

    Christian, my friend, all I can say to you is thanks, but really, no thanks. Yes, you have found your God. Good for you! Congratulations! In all seriousness, good for you. You have your God, I’ve got my Flying Spaghetti Monster. We should be all well and good, with our separate, individual beliefs. But we aren’t. Because you can’t tolerate an idea that isn’t yours. You know, maybe you should try understanding us before you tell us that we’re all irrevocably screwed. Look at your religion, and look at the atrocities it has commited in the name of your god. If we take your whole “do unto others” thing, well, shouldn’t we all be murdering Christians in the name of our god, his great and mighty noodliness? Because I’m pretty sure that you guys have been killing, raping, murdering, and stealing, all in the name of your God, since about the time that your church started. If you ask me, your version of God, and the original idea of God, well, they’re two rather different things. We, as Pastafarians, emmisaries of His Noodly Goodness, have taken a step away from the church. I used to be Catholic, I was raised Catholic, and for a long time, I believed in your God. I’m assuming that you are a hardcore Christian at this point, so please, feel free to take pot shots at the Catholic church. I know you people don’t like them. But I must say, at this point, that this is precisely the reason I left the church of christ, and came to the church of awesomely delicious spaghetti. Dogma, my friend, is the reason that this world is so screwed up. Dogma, my friend, is the reason why people are killed in the name of God. Dogma, dearest Christian, is the reason why you cannot leave this site. You feel it is your business to enforce your ideals on others, to say “I am right, you are wrong,” and condemn us to an imaginary place called hell when we disdain to follow your lead. You refuse to leave this place, not because it is your duty, but because you are afraid to accept that maybe we don’t think the way you do. You have become convinced that your world view is the only correct one, that it is the only possible one in the entire spectrum of belief. So let me say to you. Get out of our faces. Our choice to disbelieve in your allpowerful God is not your choice: it is our own. Get out of our faces, and take your belief for your own ends. We don’t want your faith, we don’t need your faith. We have our own, and you know, if your god is really such an asshole that he’s going to send us all to your Hell, just because we don’t accept Jesus Christ as our “Lord and savior”, well, maybe he doesn’t deserve our worship. At all. Period. I’m perfectly open to a discussion that isn’t filled with dogmatic prejudice. Unfortunately, that’s what you’re spouting. Prove to me that your god exists without citing the bible, without citing some spiritual personal story, PROVE to me that your god exists, that he cares about me, and that he feels remorse for the millions of deaths that he’s caused, and maybe I’ll listen to you.

    And your god of the old testament was more cruel than your supposed Satan. A schizophrenia sufferer if ever there was one.

    The truth is your old testament was written to scare people into doing as they were told. This worked up to a point. Then some pr genius worked out you snare a lot more with the love and forgiveness approach so they invented Jesus and wrote the new testament. The problem is the gods from the old and new testaments are not compatible.

    Well, Christian, my name means “man of red clay” in Hebrew. I am named after the mythical father of humanity, who according to your belief was sculpted of such clay by the hand of God and then brought to life with a soul. I am not mocking you, and I am not an atheist. So now, I would like you to read what I have to say with an open mind.

    You may have seen the film “The Matrix,” in which a young man named Neo discovers that what he thought was his real life and world was in fact a computer-generated simulation fed into his brain: an advanced form of virtual reality. Let’s suppose that like Neo in the movie you start to suspect that what you have always believed to be real is in fact a gigantic illusion, systematically maintained by some superhuman agency. You find others who share your suspicion–many others, with training in physics, astronomy, chemistry, genetics, paleontology, and so forth–and you set about trying to discover the limits of the simulation. Your belief spreads, and there seem to be no Men in Black or sinister Agents who try to suppress it.

    Soon there are countless thousands of you, all trying as hard as you can to test those limits by coming up with scientific-type explanations for apparent facts within what you still suspect is a simulation. These explanations become more and more refined and deep. They tell you, over and over again, that the universe you inhabit is billions of years old, that life began on earth about 3/4 of the way through of the apparent age of the universe and has gone through enormous changes. This biological evidence starts with things like morphology and population distribution and then, as chemistry advances, becomes genetic as well. Meanwhile the cosmologists are finding more evidence about the vast size of the (virtual) universe and that it’s tied together at scales hundreds of millions of times smaller than an atom.

    What’s more, the research that’s being done in these fields yields technologies that you use every day — computers, cell phones, antibiotics, vaccines, genetically engineered foods, and so on. The knowledge base on which these technologies are built is the very same that underlies these theories about the development of life and the age and size of the universe.

    In short, for decade after decade, you and your fellow researchers probe the depths of the supposedly virtual reality, looking for the point at which the illusion stops and the handiwork of the external creator and maintainer of this immense charade finally becomes manifest. But you never reach such a point. On the contrary, more and more and more evidence from observation after observation, experiment after experiment, seems to confirm that this virtual reality is so detailed, so fine in its construction, that its apparent age and size and biological history seems… well, real. You are faced with a stark choice. Either this creator has deliberately and skillfully misled you so completely, fabricating evidence down to the level of elementary particles and up to the scale of entire structures of galaxies, that every test you make confirms (or usefully improves) the theories about it you are apparently intended to have; or the universe is in fact *real* and so are the theories you have formed about it that allow you to have a modern technological existence.

    That, Christian, is your choice. You claim to have “studied evolution” — but I am skeptical of your claim. Because if you had studied it at any depth, you would know that the fundamental theory of evolution is supported not just by the evidence Darwin used over a century and a half ago but by geology, astronomy, cosmology, particle physics, inorganic and organic chemistry, genetics, proteomics, climatology, crystallography, and so on. We understand it better than we currently understand gravitation, and it is just as much a fact. I repeat: you are faced with the choice of denying the basis on which your own day to day existence rests (including the computer you used to access this site and the electronic networks your computer used to access it) or else calmly facing that reality and understanding that God (assuming God exists) is far, far greater than your little tribal myth imagines God to be, permeating a far greater and more ancient Creation that is developing continually and that is grand, complex, beautiful, and terrible than the Hebrews or the church fathers could have imagined.

    Stop hiding behind your flimsy paper certitudes, Christian. Yours is the path of fear and willed blindness. But our survival as a species — and the survival of this beautiful planet on whose nurturing breast we evolved — depends on our facing and mastering, as responsible adults, the powers we have developed from our understanding of nature. “God only acts, and is, in existing deeds or men.” So said my teacher, William Blake. I recommend reading that great Christian poet and artist. He may be able to speak to you as others here cannot.

    Also, re comment 126, you say we are foolish to think you were being literal. However, don’t you think that it’s logical to say that since you are taking perfectly simple metaphors and claiming them as fact, your own perfectly simple metaphors may also be taken as fact? Makes sense to me.

    And I’d say that in the same comment, you need quotation marks. Because God is not King David of Israel.

    @ Christian (comment 126)

    ‘Do you think that since an Egyptian is called a son of the nile, the nile spat him up?’
    Well, considering how much life in Egypt revolves around the Nile, yes. Without the Nile, nobody would live in Egypt, so he wouldn’t be born, so in a certain sense, he would be born from the Nile.
    But what you’re implying is that no metaphors should be taken literally. Well, the Bible is essentially an anthology of fables and metaphors, as demonstrated by its many glaring continuity errors and by the way it has been interpreted as such Jews, as well as many prominent Christians and Muslims, and clearly you take /that/ literally.
    Also, capital letter on Nile, okay? Proper noun. Same with Mohammed, Darwin, and Bobby in the original post.

    ‘I have read the entire Bible’
    So have I. What do you want, a medal?
    I’ve read the Bible, the Bahravaghita (sp?), and sections of the Qu’ran. I went to a Christian school, I’ve been thoroughly indoctrinated, and I’ve come to the independant conclusion that God is a fallacy. When that’s disproved, maybe I’ll turn religious. Guilty until proven innocent seems a fairly sensible stand on religion.

    ‘I do not believe in evolution. I have studied evolution.’
    Let’s play ’spot the implied contradiction’!
    There’s proof for evolution (such as selective breeding and the adaptation of finches), even if there’s only circumstantial evidence that it’s how we got here. In my book, a proven fact with a theory behind it is more believable than a possible ‘God’ with a theory behind it.

    You see when ANY virus attacks a host, it isn’t to feed, because viruses have no digestive system, no mouth, no ailimentary system(asshole). In easy speak, without a host to infect, they aren’t technically alive. They are just a packet of mRNA in a protein shell.When they do infect a cell, they inject the mRNA into the cell and its genetic material binds with the present DNA and gives it new growth instructions. The cell turns into a virus factory, making new viral material until the cell membrane ruptures(this is called phaging), and the new viruses spread to other cells and repeat the process.

    The virus takes some of the DNA within the cell and uses it for its own needs, yes. But it also takes some of the cell’s DNA and incorporates it with its own. The change in thd viral DNA structure may cause the virus to become more virulent, infectious. Or it may become less so. But overall the virus is different.

    Now, what I just described to you(and any lay-person can understand what it implies) is why the flu changes from year to year, why you can’t vaccinate someone for a cold(because it passing from one host to the next changes the structure of its DNA, and unless you can predict how it will change in the next host, vaccination is useless), how geneticists can tell who was the first person to infected in an area(patient zero). This on its face is…
    EVOLUTION!

    Not abiogenesis(something from nothing, like rotten meat makes maggots), but evolution. In addition, natural selection guarantees that only the most capable viral strains will reproduce and multiply. I didn’t say “strongest”, but capable. Moths, within one generation, can change their wing patterns and become unrecognizable next to their relative, yet the change in pattern may make it less likely to be eaten by a predator.
    Tell me why this isn’t true, give me the name of the scientific gruop with the papers to prove it, don’t give me biblical quotes, or ANY of Duane Gish’s or Discovery Institute’s shit in it. Put your money where your mouth is.
    But you wont answer me, I know you wont. BS in Marine Biology, have I, young Padewon! I’ll send you so much literature on evolution, when you shit, you’ll think of finch’s beaks! I am a little too much for you to take. Like I told you before, I was like you; and dare I say, I know how to take on your arguments. I will show you what a Pastafarian is really about. Really hope you give me an answer.

    RAmen!

    Okay, I’m Catholic and even I believe this is taking it too far. Everyone is entitled to thier beliefs, but really, there is no proof that a god exists, whether he is known as the Flying Spagetti Monster or simply as God. Therefore, religion is based soley on what you believe. And also, Christian, have you ever heard of Pope Innocent the sixth? Or the crusades? Did you know that the bible was written more than a hundred years after Jesus lived (I know it was like, way more than that, but I don’t have time to look it up)? Oh yeah, and do you believe women are evil? because according to the bible, they are. The bible was written by power-hungry, beuracratic men. So they were kind of biased. And you do realize the church was okay with slavery, feudalism, and making girls marry at thirteen, letting their husbands rape them, and then having them die in childbirth because they were too young to have their bodies handle it? Not to mention the whole only letting very rich men be educated. Oh yeah, and just throwing this out there: didn’t Jesus say something about everyone, even the gentiles? So yeah, I thought every religion had to be flawed because to me, that’s part of a religon’s definition. But I applaud Pastafarianism because it is something to believe in, but tolerence is a huge part of it. You may not think they are tolerent from their website, but I have never heard of an instance where they attacked a religon deliderately and unprovoked. So yeah, that is comendable and definately something to be proud of. And a question: How do you not believe in evolution when there are so many cases of scientific proof of its existence? Honestly,do you think scientists have a conspiracy against God dating back to Darwin? Or actually before that if you think about Galileo? So Christian, wake up. And you’ll notice that not once have I slammed the god you and I both believe in. I have slammed Christianity’s history, and I have heard priests do the same. Christian you are intolerant and I pity you, pity you so much because you do not seem to get that there is always a line, and you are so far across it that I highly doubt you will ever so much as see it again. Jesus taught “Love thy nieghbor as you love thyself.” Um…I’m not seeing much love, or respect even. Oh yeah, and if you call me a godless heathen who will rot in hell, which is something I’ve never believed is God’s punishment for the “misguided”(not my word), you will be a hypocrite, because I don’t think God would want people to be forced to believe in him. Actually, I believe that doing so is a horrible act of tyranny. I may not be totally on the Christian Path to Eternal Life, but I feel that lying about history is not going to change it, and that the history of Christianity is so terrible that I’d understand the most devout christian in the world simply reading it and becoming an atheist. Forcing someone to believe something they think is ludicrous is a gross infringement of their rights. So do us all a favor, Christian, and look up the word “tolerance” and then learn how to do it. May everyone find something or someone to beieve in and not be persecuted for that belief, because everyone is owed that simply by being a human being.

    And by the way, I think you need to hear this quote. It’s a quote that I think everyone who believes in the same God that I do needs to remember.
    “God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.”

    Okay, how can you believe in something that you do not understand, if you don’t understand something then you can not know the full beliefs. How do I know you don’t know? Because you state “God warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals because they don’t understand them.” Yet you say you follow the teachings. That would be like me following a road in a foreign country, with all the signs in a language I don’t comprehend. Yes, I can get the basic feel of the signs based on what they look like, but for all I know I could be driving down a one way street. It’s dangerous to do something like this. Furthermore, the bible states to follow the law of the land, yet kings in the past have decreed that all newborns must be killed, even though the Bible says murder is a sin, but people had to do it. Fact is that most Christians follow parts of the Bible that they see as convenient. I don’t think you’re a true Christian, know why? Because I doubt you wear clothes that aren’t cross fibered, I doubt you are subservient to a man. I also highly doubt you don’t eat food that comes from a hooved animal. All of these things ARE in the Bible. If you don’t follow them all then you can’t possibly be a true Christian.

    First off, well said Mr. Cathlic but unprejudiced! Christian, I don’t think it is neccessary for me to point out your bigotry, so I’ll go onto a greater fallacy of logic you commited; believing that actions are stronger than words. Are you suggesting that we all become meat-head animals?The greatest actions i history were great because they were backed by famous words. Think of Martin Luther King and his “I had a dream” speech. Or maybe Gahndi’sfamous quote, “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”. The Greeks used their words, not actions to settle debates. Even Jesus used preaching more than his “holy powers” to spread Christanity. If words are so weak, why are you using words to preach your message?

    Lets get one thing straight. There is a lot of talk on this website, in particular under this post, that claim that the old and new testaments are intended to be inclusive for all people. This belief is supported by christians and non-christians alike on this website.

    This is simply not true. The old and new testament scriptures describe a religion of exclusion. When God and Jesus talk of their people, they mean the Jews. All others were assumed to be taken care of by some other gods.

    So unless you are a Jew, you have no business trying to claim God or Jesus as your savior. God and Jesus, by their own scriptures, do not want you. So, Christian and all others out there who follow such a literal interpretation of the bible, I suggest you take a closer read at the bible and you will see that the your literal interpretation of the bible also demands that you recognize that God is not there for non-Jews.

    Therefore, your drive to interpret the bible literally will force you to convert to Judaism or drop the concept of God altogehter.

    Cheers

FSMism is a satirical argument against dogma, blind loyalty to ideas without proof, and most importantly, the attempt of Creationism to masquerade as science (aka “Intelligent Design”). The idea is to be tolerant of all religions, provided that they don’t stick their proverbial noses where they don’t belong.

    I believe you are mistaken Kilgore Trout.
    In the Old testament there is a prophecy that states “the people walking in the darkness have seen a great Light” and again when speaking of Messiah “He will be a Light to the Gentiles(thats us). And in the New testament Jesus says “start from Jerusalem and spread the Gospel to the whole world”. So you see Kilgore, a literal reading of the Bible clearly state that God is God of the whole world, not just Israel. A third example is that He visited Ezekial in Babylon, clearly showing that God is not confined to Israel and the Jews. And a fourth example is in Revelations when John says he see “a group so large no man could count, come out of the Great Tribulation, they are of every tongue, nation, and kindred. Amen

    It’s obviously pointless to attempt to enlighten someone as stubborn as Christian. I used to work with someone who had the same attitude, they were completely capable of denying an event that occurred right in front of them because it conflicted with their faith, and faith was more important to them than reality. I cannot imagine twisting my thoughts in that manner, and if I had not seen it, I wouldn’t believe anyone else could either. No matter how thoroughly we present and analyze and explain the most fundamental and basic evidence, people like Christian will put their hands over their ears, scrunch their eyes shut, and shout “NA NA NA NA NA NA CAN’T HEAR YOU”. Reality doesn’t enter into their little world. They clutch their faith to their chests like it’s a tank of air and they’re underwater. I’m probably not going to bother trying to communicate with Christian any more, since I know he’s incapable of understanding anyone else’s opinion if it’s different from his own.
    And the way he keeps trying to sound like he’s from the 13th century with all the thees and thous and word order inversions – give me a break.
    May the FSM smile on all people, and grant us beer and pasta evermore.

    “We have manuscripts of the old testament going back over 2500 years. And the new testament back to 10 years after Christ.”

    The Pyramid texts of the ancient Egyptian religions are older. So if age defines authority, they win.

    The manuscripts of early Christianity were not standardized until the 4th century AD. Even afterwards, there have been significant differences between translations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_translation). If the bible is accurate now, it can’t have been in the past. Were the earlier christians right or you, the later ones?

    The bible is interpreted differently by the various christian churches. If the bible is a source of irrefutable evidence of god’s word, how can all your god’s believers contradict each other so much?

    If the old testament is accurate, god as responsible for the slaughtering and enslaving of the Midianites. Can you justify that? I don’t expect you’ll reply to this unless it’s to tell me god loves us through jesus christ and that’s not an answer.

    Alright alright alright…so obviously this has become a big thing and i think people are taking it to far…

    BEFORE you guys start replying to how ignorant i am, i am not on this “well-received” servant of Christ guy. We can all call him on what he said, how he is treating others, blah blah blah, but seriously, i think you should just leave it alone.

    In my opinion, Christian is probably just doing this for some twisted form of fame. Maybe he just wants his 15 minutes. Why would he come onto this site, obviously NOT Christian, and post this? Seriously? You’re just looking to get shot man. I think that’s what he wanted. To get noticed.

    But maybe he really is CONVINCED that he can turn us all around with his ideals and sermons.

    To make religions points now, (here we go…) Let’s just look at what he said. First off, what better way to be a true Christian than to threaten us into your religion? “For the whole world will HATE you…” jeez i better go back to my young religious days!! Or is Roman-Catholic not right, only Christianity? Be careful, because Catholicism is Christianity. “I will never be convinced by words because words are not as powerful as actions.” What makes you think we will be convinced by words? Christian, this is a site that is almost challenging (almost) your view!

    What makes you think we will change? What purpose did your comment serve here Christian? Do you want us all to be loving Christians, who, and i could go on FOREVER with the Bible and all that it says, should FEAR God? What about Buddhism? Islamic? Judaism? Can i praise Allah or Shiva? Or just God? Christian, what was your purpose?

    People, this was probably just an ill-fated act of desperation for being noticed. All over the world, and sadly mostly on the internet, people do this kind of thing all the time. Just to get noticed and make people angry. I have no doubt that comments will continue, but Christian, if you truly want God to be with you, do not harm other people and there beliefs, for even though we may be seen as your enemy, you must treat us as your friend.

    P.S…
    As a final note, I’ll leave with some religious points. First off, my grandfather Terry is a bishop with the Roman-Catholic church, and received a letter that disgusted both he and I about the word Yahweh. Christian i hope you will read this, because the letter stated that “you shall not use the word Yahweh in any sermon or prayer from now on because it is a sin to use this savage name of our God” (this is not a direct quote, if you would like to see the letter i can either mail it or post it on here). So Christian, change your original post because Yahweh is not a willing term anymore.

    To finish this rather long final note, here are some quoted verses from the Holy Bible: Good News Edition, which was given to me when i was still in grade school:
    Exodus 21:7-10 “If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to be sold to someone who intends to make her his wife, but he doesn’t like her, then she is to be sold back to her father; her master cannot sell her to foreigners, because he has treated her unfairly. If a man buys a female slave to give to his son, he is to treat her like a daughter. If a man takes a second wife, he must continue to give his first wife the same amount of food and clothing and the same rights that she had before.”

    Leviticus 25:44-46 “If you need slaves, you may buy them from the nations round you. You may also buy the children of the foreigners who are living among you. Such children born in your land may become your property, and you may leave them as an inheritance to your sons, whom they must serve as long as they live. But you must not treat any of your fellow Israelites harshly”

    Leviticus 11:9-11 “You may eat any kind of fish that has fins and scales, but anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales must not be eaten. Such creatures must be considered unclean. You must not eat them or even touch their dead bodies.”

    Leviticus 19:27-28, “Do not cut the hair on the sides of your head or trim your beard or tattoo yourselves or cut gashes in your body to mourn for the dead. I am the Lord.”

    So carnal slaves, selling your daughter and second wives are okay, slaves are okay if they are bought from neighboring countries or as foreign children, but no shell fish, tattoos, are stylized beards…interesting…

    wow Christian, what your doing is bold and I honor you for that.

    I honestly dont care what you people think about me but my name is Hayden. I am a 15 year old christian who does is just like everyone else in the world. I go to high school(public), I play sports (football, wrestling, and track), and I’m even in the band (percussion) and I just wanna show you and state that I am a regular person like you, and I feel that after reading what some of you people wrote, I feel that I should put my “2 cents” in.

    really people, if your going to bash him (or her) get your facts straight.

    yes the old Testiment clearly states things like stoning your child, wife, or whoever when he or she lies and stuff like that is what you should do. but if you put more thought into it and just quit, saying “thats enough information”, the new testiment says how some of the old testiments teachings shouldn’t be done beacuse they’re not needed any more.

    and who cares if egyptian texts are older than the bible.
    Horses have been around longer than cars or ships or airplanes. That doesn’t mean you just ditch using your cars, or ships or airplanes for transportation for horses, and by the way I know horses and ships don’t really mix cause you can’t use a horse as a mode of transportation over water effectively, but I’m just using that as another example of transportation.

    it is also understandable, which, I thought, was one of the shallowest accusations I think I have every heard. you just have to read it first people, and not just the old testiment or new, but THE WHOLE THING. and read it with the feeling like your going to try to get something out of it, not just a way to find a way to disprove,denouce, or to claim false, Christianty or the Bible.

    so thats just my “2 cents” of information I just wanted to throw out there people, to show you that your accusations, or the ones that I read, can be disproven and that what Christian is doing is a bold move and you should love God as well and not try to say that what whoever believes a certain thing is stupid for doing that. not some parody spoof spaghetti monster, whatever it is. Cause in the end, your just making yourself look dumb.

    oh and before someone says it, cause it’ll eventually be said, Christians arent perfect. so who cares about typos for cryin out loud or whatever we slip at, cause were humans too. we dont think were better than you.

    To 173 (hayden)-
    I appreciate your thoughts on this topic my friend, however, you are 15 years old. I don’t think I would commit so whole heartedly to something that I have clearly barely begun to understand. This website and it’s “religion” is obviously satire. And although it probably does have a real actual following, I truly believe it’s all to poke fun at all the idiosyncrasies of religion. You see, when posting a comment on a topic such as this you must have all your ducks lined up in a row. Which is the exact reason this CHRISTIAN is being made a fool of. There are plenty of arguments for and against religion, most of which even have a name. What you did there with the Egypt and horse comparison – not even a valid argument. You supposed his position was that since egyptian religions were older he must think they are more valid to use. That’s called a strawman argument. So you see, I urge you to THINK before you type, and really, really just question why you believe what you believe. This world is beautiful simply because it is and I don’t need GOD to realize it.

    “And if wicked tounges insult and hate you all because of me, blessed, blessed are you!”
    I admire you, Christian. The boldest and truest of us ought follow your shining example. God will bless you in heaven for your brave actions, for there aren’t many of us who can truly express our knowledge to the world even behind a computer screen.

    I am young, and it is true that I know not the tortures of the world, but the insults that followers of Christ that many others including myself receive for faith ought be example enough. The above quote assures me when I walk down the halls, when I go to lunch, when I return home late at night to an empty house, that God will b my reward in heaven. God is all I have. He i my mind, my heart, my soul, and my strength, and that is enouh for me. Inuslt me, hate me, loathe me all you like,but at least I don’t worship a flying mound of boiled grain. God loves you anyway, and to shun his gaze is to sin the soul of man.
    May you e blessed in the name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Praise be to God.

    Hi Hayden, thanks for stopping by. Unfortunately your two cents did not really amount to, well, two red cents.
    The reason people have been talking about how old some texts are, is that our famous friend Christian brought it up in the first place. He cited some numbers regarding the age of the scripture which, inaccurate as they were, in his thought(apparently)gave validity to it. That is all. No one has said the more antiquated a book is, the better.
    As for the good cop-bad cop argument(sorry, I meant New Testament-Old Testament), you might want to remember that while Jesus does sound a lot nicer than his daddy, he gave us something we never had before: hell. Because as cruel and murderous as the Old Testament God is, once his victims are dead, he is done with them. There is no mention of torturing the dead anywhere in the Old Testament. So sorry-the argument just doesn’t cut it. It doesn’t make the deal any sweeter.
    I have a suggestion for you: why don’t you read the Koran, cover to cover, taking it seriously and not just trying to debunk it, and then we will have something to discuss. How’s that? And while you’re at it, you may want to take a look at the Mormon, Hindu, Buddhist and Vishnu texts too.
    What our dearest Chris is doing is just too bold and honorable-showing his intolerance in the cyberspace, condemning others to eternal punishment for thought crimes. Too bad it’s a little late for burning the heretics at the stake.
    And by the way, while to err is human, not to know how to use the spell check is just silly. But don’t worry, most of our trolls are like that.

  184. 184 - Kilgore Trout - Nov 19th, 2008

    Christian, in response to POST 161;

    Nice try, but a few obscure quotes from the bible do not sell your point. The overwhelming majority of the bible was written by Jews, for Jews, to justify their wars and the bloodlines of their kings, and to control their people. Prophesies of a coming messiah were not created to describe how the world would be saved, but how Jews of the world would be saved from their oppressors.

    The fact is, most of the bible reads like the quotations provided by Dan in POST 172. Here we see the Xenophobic nature of the Jewish tribes of the time. Only Jews (and really only Jewish men) had rights. Non-Jews were good for slavery and for raping and pillaging.

    The books of David are rife with how David and his renegade band of outlaw Jews were sanctioned by god to kill all the Non-Jews and take the land and animals for their own. This was an OK thing to do because, as the bible tells us, these other people did not matter as they were not Jews. It’s not that these people were evil and needed to be killed; they just weren’t Jewish. This was cause enough.

    Lots of other interesting things to look at in the bible:

    1) Genesis, if read carefully, actually appears to be two creation stories combined together. It’s like the book was rewritten to include the two most popular creation themes that existed at the time. This is an obvious problem for creationists. Which story is true?

    2) In Genesis and Exodus there are several locations where other gods are referenced explicitly and implicitly. Even the commandment “I am the lord your god, thou shalt have no other gods before me” implies that other gods must exist (and indeed the ancient Jews did believe other gods existed; Baal etc…) The Jews didn’t believe their god was there to protect non-Jews. They fully believed that there must be other gods out there looking after all those other people (Of course, this explains why they felt so free to murder all those other people. If other gods couldn’t protect other people from the Jews, then that wasn’t any Jews fault and it proved how powerful the Jewish god was.) The interpretation that the church would have you believe today is that this commandment means there is only one god. But if that were so, then the commandment would have read something more like: I am the one and only true god; all other gods are false.

    3) The bible is gods message to man. Why is it so horribly redundant? And like 2000 pages long. What the F&%$. god really needed a better editor. If he had a message for man, why couldn’t he get it out there in memo form? It’s absolutely ridiculous to think that an all knowing superior being who chooses to guide us would do so with such a clumsily written, voluminous, redundant, and often times completely nonsensical (read the description of the Arc of Covenant in Exodus; what possible importance or message could this contain for future christians. It’s like 10 pages long. It’s ridiculous) text.

    4) god is immoral. It is fundamentally immoral to deny a man of the knowledge between good and evil, tell him not to do something because it would be bad (like eat the fruit of knowledge of good and evil), and then punish him for that act of disobedience. Adam could not have understood the concept of disobedience before eating the fruit, yet the very act of eating the fruit was defined as disobedient. That’s a hell of a Catch-22 (A shout out to my good friend J. Heller). Come on god, give the poor shlub a chance.

    5) god displays on several occasions in Genesis alone that he is not omniscient. If he were truly omniscient then he would not have been so surprised (and freaking angry) when Adam at the fruit, when Cain killed Abel, etc. In today’s world, god is all knowing and every single act is not only foreseen but preordained as part of some master plan. You hear christians saying it all the time, “… but I guess god had a different plan for me.” Clearly god had much humbler beginnings since he couldn’t even foresee that Adam and Cain would betray him. Good going god, you have come a long way.

    I could really go on like this forever, but instead I will offer some non-biblical criticism of religion. This criticism is based on nothing more than some good old application of critical thought. Christian, I hope you will answer the mail on this one.

    Critical Thought: Why is heaven so great? Most christians will tell you that it is because everyone loves each other and there are no wars, etc… But how can that be? Are we all brainwashed when we get to heaven? Are we no longer capable of independent thought? Do our experiences in our mortal lives which formed our viewpoints and opinions count for nothing? And if your answer, Christian, is something along the lines of; we are so filled with gods love and a more complete understanding of everything to the point where there is no need for disagreement or conflict – then don’t bother sending me a reply, because that is a hollow platitude. Any heaven where everyone thinks the same to the point where there is a complete lack of conflict sounds great initially, but it denies free will and would be so horribly dull we would all pine for a few lakes of fire and a good bit of torture.

    In closing I want to stress that I am not anti-Semitic and that none of my references to Jews above are meant to be interpreted in a derogatory fashion. I am merely trying to stress that the bible was a Jewish creation and was never intended to be co-opted by christians.

    Hayden (#173), well done on the grammar and punctuation – a fine example. It shows you made the effort to think about what you wrote before you wrote it, and maybe even proof-read it before clicking Submit, a rarity on here.

    You won’t get me reading that stupid book you xians keep referring to, though. The reason is that if I did, it won’t convince me that it’s true. It’s a big outdated book of violence, twisted lies and plagiarized myth with really small writing and I can’t be bothered. Another reason is I don’t care what’s in it, not even to compile all the contradictions as ammunition to fuel a war against you believers on here. None of it is proof of anything so there’s no point. Astrophysics and Darwinian evolution can explain what happened between now and the Big Bang in a rather convincing way and on top of that the mathematics involved look simple and elegant and beautiful when expressed in higher dimensions.

    I asked my Religious Studies teacher at school why we were being taught about Adam and Eve and a talking snake in one lesson while being taught about the formation of the stars, planets and heavy elements via supernovae in another. He replied, “I’m not asking you to believe, I’m asking you to study it, as our heritage.” This caused me to show respect to the teacher thereafter. It’s a pity you didn’t stop where I did. It’s a pity you bought into it so soon in your life because I can see that you’re intelligent by the way you present your words.

    Here at the church of FSM we allow you believe in a god or not, and he may represent himself to you however he chooses, hence the flying ball of spaghetti. What we’re trying to make people like yourself aware of, when you stumble across our site, is that it’s okay to believe (or not be sure either way!) without having to follow all the associated dogma and religious doctrine bullshit that we consider a hinderance to the progress of mankind. We consider this site to be educational and funny at the same time, and I hope you come back to the site and read some of the other hatemail sent to us, and you’ll also notice that it’s almost entirely Christians that launch attacks on our site.

    Regards,

    @ #182 The(Famous)Impaler,

    Kudos to you, also!
    Dawkins’ assertion that that Christianity and other religions are inherently dangerous and many of their attacks against the “Bright” movement, an attempt to legislate Biblical law is a correct evaluation of the Pastafarian dilemma. Militance against the enemy or a display of agape(pasta)love and tolerance.
    The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is what Dr. Dawkins predicted the future would hold for atheism in the future. A church or reason and thought as opposed to blind faith in the unseen. That’s what drew me to Pastafarianism in the first place. But as you can see from my posts, sometimes my tolerance of the abysmally ignorant is very short. I’ve seen, first hand, how blind faith shuts down a perfectly, logical mind and turns it into a cranium full of Cream of Wheat.

    I’ve heard that some don’t like your form of FSM worship. Well, under the umbrella of Pastafarism, there should be room for us all. Continue fighting the good fight, and someday, we will meet next to the beer volcano and with buxom wenches in lap, toast to a life well lived!

    Okay, you can’t possibly think that the Bible is true can you? I mean seriously, it was made by man. Moreover, the books in the Bible were selected by a group of men. We know that there are certain books that were pirposefully left out of the Bible because they gave God “too bad of an image” and they were also “Too harsh for people”, and yet people call the Bible the truth. On top of all of that who was in control during the Dark Ages? Who wrote the Bibles during the Dark ages? Catholics, the people that Christians secretly despise. Where do we get our Bible? From the Catholics. Don’t say we don’t, because if you do you’re not to well read on history. All of this furthers my argument that Christians follow the parts of the teachings that they feel like. You can’t possibly do ALL of the things in the Bible, simply because some of the scriptures were ommited. There’s more I want to add, but unfortunately I must take my leave.

    Hayden (#173) – “wow Christian, what your doing is bold and I honor you for that.” You may want to check out some of his other posts first.

    “yes the old Testament clearly states things like stoning your child, wife, or whoever when he or she lies and stuff like that” “ “the new testament says how some of the old testaments teachings shouldn’t be done because they’re not needed any more.” So once genocide has served its purpose we can forgive the perpetrator? Would you apply that logic to the Nazi’s and their holocaust?

    “who cares if egyptian texts are older than the bible.” Christian apparently thinks age is evidence of authenticity, I was simply using the example to propose it isn’t. Thanks for backing me up.

    “and read it with the feeling like your going to try to get something out of it, not just a way to find a way to disprove, denounce, or to claim false, Christianity or the Bible.” Well if I try and get something out of the bible, I undoubtedly will. If I try and get something out of the FSM, I will. If I try, I can get something out of anything; that doesn’t make it true. I don’t even have to try to get something out of beer, you’ll find that out when you’re older ;-)

    “so that’s just my “2 cents” of information I just wanted to throw out there people, to show you that your accusations, or the ones that I read, can be disproved” Your standard of proof isn’t that high I’m afraid.

    “you should love God as well” Why? I think he’s as believable as Santa

    “and not try to say that what whoever believes a certain thing is stupid for doing that.” I never would, I’d say anyone who believes something blindly is foolish.

    “not some parody spoof spaghetti monster, whatever it is. Cause in the end, your just making yourself look dumb.” Any dumber than some of the things you believe? Omnipotence, walking on water, resurrection after death, angels to name a few.

    I_Love_The_Lord (#180) “The above quote assures me when I walk down the halls, when I go to lunch, when I return home late at night to an empty house, that God will b my reward in heaven. God is all I have.”

    Reading that makes me really sad. Lighten up a bit, get out of the church and meet people. If you want to maintain friends try not being so pious. If god is all you have you need to get out more, people are all that matter. Good luck.

    I would beg to differ with the idea that one isn’t supposed to ask questions. Different religions have different degrees of orthodoxy, that is, how much deviation from certain approved mythological sources is allowed, and how many sources are approved. Some religions do off with orthodoxy almost entirely and fall entirely onto orthopraxy. Thus those concern themselves not with the beliefs of the individual but with the propriety of the actions.
    and as restrictive as that may sound, it is the nature of anything that organizes, any social structure is shaped and constrained by the culture it develops in, and also constrains the culture… to a limit, there is always free will and variance in interpretation of life.

    This always confused me, so i’ll put it out there. For so many years, Christians have said ‘God masks his presence to test our faith’. Honestly guys, why? If God wanted to be worshipped so badly by those whom he created, why would he give the most obscure reasons to believe? Because, really, if at high noon one day, a lightning-bolt came from the clouds and split the ground in twain, a huge monolith of the creator rising from the ground as the angels sang from the Heavens, I swear there’d be little protest against his being. Wouldn’t that honestly be easier for him to do than to leave ‘clues’ and ‘hints’ to his being throughout history?

    Oh and just while i’m ranting, why on earth would he create hate, greed, iggnorance, etc, in the first place? If God created all the good, he also created the bad, -all- of it. What the heck was the point of -that-? Another thing to ‘test’ your faith? The divine being in the universe wants to cause thousands of years of pain, hate, starving and death to test those who would be worthy to walk in heaven?

    Why didn’t he just make -everyone- worthy to walk in heaven? He made us (apperently), all of us, and he made the way we think. So why not just make everyone a pure, good, whole-hearted person? Look at it from the big picture, Christians, it doesn’t make sense. He made everyone differently, and he made some people filled with hate and rage to test the other guys he made (the ones he filled with happiness and sugar) to deem who was worthy of getting into the heaven he created for the guys who passed the test. If that’s the case, God isn’t sane. And if he’s not sane, he is not a God.

    RAmen all.

    Piratey Ninja,

    You have hit the nail on the head. God is fundamentally immoral on several occassions. To list a few:

    1) It is fundamentally immoral to deny someone of the knowledge of good and evil and then punish them when they transgress. This was the case for Adam and Eve in the garden.

    2) It is fundamentally immoral to hold absolute power over a weaker creature and then subject them to continuous threats and torture. This is what god does to us every day.

    3) It is fundamentally immoral to give man free will, tell them to be good or else, but then flood their lands or burn their cities without giving them a chance to express their free will and change.

    I could go on, but why? Clearly these immoral acts deny god of his godhood status. He is a narcisistic bully with self worth issues.

    Hello Christian, my name is Kathleen which is derived from the name Katherine, which has several possible meanings.
    “From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (hekateros) “each of the two”; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) “torture”; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning “my consecration of your name”. In the early Christian era it became associated with Greek καθαρος (katharos) “pure”, and the Latin spelling was changed from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this.” (www.behindthename.com)

    Just because your name means something does not mean that you have to be a holier-than-thou ass.

    y’know whats odd about most of the people who send this hate-mail?: they write of god as if they have proof of his existence. I actually believe in god, but the key word is BELIEVE. i can prove the existence of scarlet o’harra, or achilles as easily as i can prove god. god didn’t give me belief. i choose to believe. as a result, i cant tell anybody that their beliefs are wrong. this is also why i choose to be a pastafarian. what better faith than in a religion that is as intentionally fun and funny, as all the other religions end up being by accident when zealots take them to extremes.

    Dearest Christian,

    While reading your post I came to the conclusion that you may be mildly retarded…not for believing in Jesus Christ, but for your belief that the END OF DAYS spans the distance between the time MUHAMMAD lived (CE 570-632), to the life of CHARLES DARWIN (CE 1809-1882), to the present year (CE 2008). How fucking long is this APOCALYPSE/TRIBULATION supposed to last? It seems that no two PROTESTANT denominations can agree on this point. And let us not forget our fine CATHOLIC and EASTERN ORTHODOX friends, not to mention the JEWISH, HINDU, BUDDHIST and MUSLIM populations of the world. Maybe a good secular psychologist could help un-muddle your thinking!

    I have no quarrel with religion in principle. In fact, I know many religious people who are kind, generous, smart and creative…they are some of the best folks I know. It just seems that fanatical thinking, and I mean ANY FANATICAL THINKING (religious, political or otherwise), blurs the line between fantasy and reality and obscures fundamental truths while leaving little or no room for the gray area where most of the world resides.

    Religion and spirituality should be private matters anyway…I no more want to hear about your relationship with Jesus Christ than you want to hear about some crazy girl’s astrological sign or what the last visit to her psychic revealed about future relationships or past lives. Treat people with respect and dignity, live and let live, and for GOD’s sake, unless you are asked, KEEP YOUR BELIEFS TO YOURSELF!

    Sincerely,
    JIM

    P.S. What good can come from fostering hatred and intolerance?

    P.P.S. And, while I’m asking questions, why do you give a shit about the state of my IMMORTAL SOUL?

    And secondly, Muhammed?
    That’s a bit harsh, seeing as Islam has not only existed longer then your religion, but there is actually a reason why someone would make up your religion, and it goes along with everything. Funny that.

    Oh btw, seeing as you’re here do you think you can quickly explain the fact that your religion took stories from Paganism and Hellenic Paganism?
    I mean, you laugh at those religions yet you took their stories. :]
    They did come before you.

I will not be swayed because i have met SPAGHETTI. FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals because they don’t understand them. When you accept MONSTER, you are entered by the HOLY DINNER PLATE OF MORTALS. That is why i cannot ever be convinced of your fruitless lies. I have personally seen the great power FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER commands. I will continue to log onto this site for a long time now. For if even one soul be saved while i am here, well in good deeds, none is greater. The MONSTER is my shield. I will never be convinced by words because words are not as powerful as actions. FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER has granted me great faith and understanding and as long as the earth endures i will fear no evil for MONSTER is with me. You will call me stupid and you will mock me, but unless you become as powerful as Holy Yahweh overnight, and then share a portion of that power with me so that i may never die, i will not be fooled.

    For the whole world will EAT you because of me-Flying spaghetti Monster to His followers- I beg thee to end this, then you will see and and the Truth will shine like 1000 suns. May the FLYING CARBOHYDRATE AND PROCESSED MEAT rule over Monster’s people forever BON APPETIT’!

    If you’re going to call Darwin a false prophet and, if I may be so bold as to infer from your letter, a harbinger of the downfall of man, I would suggest you get some facts straight. Charles Darwin was an avid christian who, in fact, attended Cambridge University to study theology and believed in a literal interpretation of the bible.
    The publishing of The Origin of Species was delayed several years because what he was writing conflicted with his religious beliefs.
    Charles Darwin was not the raging militant atheist that both theists and atheists try to make him out to be; he was just a man who put the well-being of the public (Because Knowledge is Power!) over his own beliefs.

    And we have all witnessed what the FSM has done for us, his physical embodiment has nourished our weary bodies time and time again. What you probably saw as “God’s power” was most likely a strong gust of wind or a strong reaction involving Nitrogen (A.K.A. Lightning).

    “I will never be convinced by words because words are not as powerful as actions.”

    So, sending an e-mail which contains words, would that fall under the “action” or “words” category?

    I would like to point out that as my name is Christian too, and I am a Pastafarian, this does not prove anything. Perhaps Jesus merely wants us to respect his father the FSM and to love our fellow humans. But we can never really know Jesus’ intentions; after all, He did not choose you as his spokesman. We can only speculate, and in my opinion the ID-FSM theory is much more likely than the Christian theory.

I mean someone who has entered the Spirit of the Lord – just sounds really disturbing. I always got the impression God was a bit of a hands off deity. I mean he has yet to fire a thunder bolt at Fred Phelps, if he did that or something really creative he’d have a lot of people worship him.

    Christian, may I note that you, like most “Christians”, have unfortunately missed “the point”. Missing the point usually occurs when people value the black-and-white validity of something (self-righteously labeled “truth), over what’s really important- how certain “truths” impact us. Especially when it comes to supernatural phenomena and God, it’s quite arrogant to think that we could actually “know” God. That’s just the ego talking, shamelessly defining who “God” is, so as to give the illusion of control. One thing I dislike most about Christianity, is that God is defined and interpreted, and even shaped according to the evolution of culture– which essentially makes God the manifestation of our Ego– reversing made in his image to God being made in our image. But if that wasn’t bad enough already, Christians treat this “God” as independent from ourselves– thus, even though this “God” was essentially created by Christians, they blame God for anything that happens, rely on God when things aren’t going their way, and count on God to cover all the travel expenses and arrangements for a perpetual vacation with bliss so great it’s beyond our imagination– all while the same time sending all the people that Christians strongly disagree with to hell, even if they would otherwise be considered good people.

    false prophets? dude, if you’re concerned about that, target the real threats, which are actually universally accepted and taken very seriously. Join Anonymous– the seem to target any religion or political movement that is over-controlling- and if one world government is what you’re concerned about, something like that can only be accomplished (if it’s even possible with one of two extremes– socialism or fascism- neither of which FSM can be considered. If I were you, I would send endless amounts of hate mail to TCS (the Church of Scientology)like there’s no tomorrow. Fortunately I’m not you, and I so I wouldn’t consider doing something nearly obnoxious and pointless anyway; the only reason I suggested hatemail is because it seems that’s the only way you are capable of getting “the message” across (otherwise you wouldn’t be wasting time doing it.) but if I were not you, but as blindly passionate of a so-called Christian as you, I would probably join Anon, since they’re the best change of stopping TCS, thus making them/it the logical first step.

    “Bx 32 Says:
    There is no way this is actual hate mail; nobody is this stupid”

    you’d be surprised! I’ve actually (sad but true) met people a lot more “stupid” than this. But even though he appears to be stupid, he may well be relatively intelligent, even educated. It’s a terrible thing, religion. To quote from this guy’s own book, “At the time of the end, even the wise will be led astray” and what more effective way to do so then to use their own book against them, through skewed views, selective interpretation, as historically ignorant text-evaluations.

    what Christians don’t get, is that when it comes to “one world government”s, the Bible is the best candidate to make it happen, since it’s so compatible with most religions, and so universally known and historically accepted. Constantine proved that when he singlehandedly reunited the roman empire under “Christianity”– that’s when so many pagan traditions got integrated into Christianity.

    Satan is a devil in disguise- and sorry to say followers of Christ, but as far as the apocalypse is concerned, that makes your most sacred book the most religiously and spiritually dangerous book on earth.

    so don’t just take it for granted- make sure you know what you believe in, why you believe it, and how your beliefs affect things in the long run. conformity should be the greatest enemy of anymore who takes their beliefs seriously, because when you conform, you ‘miss the point’.

    What a douche. Its fine if you have your own faith. No one cares. But in your pompous and assinine post, you saw fit to demean: us, Muslims, and Charles Darwin. Its people like you who made the holocaust and attcked the twin towers. Also, you claim t have SEEN god? Is that a metaphor? If not, your obviously schizophrenic and should have yourself committed. Peace.

  272. 272 - hopeful candidate for chef onboard the flying sailing spaghetti monster cathedral/vessel - Mar 18th, 2009

    266 – March 16th, 2009 at – Lucious Perkins Says:
    “…And His noodly awesomeness has warned me against your false god. He spoke to me through pastakenisis and told me that the “god” of Abraham would corrupt the masses, telling them they must obey and convert or as you say “save”. Well I wont let it happen to me, may his noodly appendage protect me always from the raving lunatics. Why can’t you just see our way? ”

    You the man Perkins… I have long believed in Pastakenesis and I can prove that Telekenesis is a feeble and weak parody.

    All that believe in telekenisis ( or the Christian god for that matter ) raise my hand.

    See? Stupid biatches.

    Why is anyone surprised that Christian attacked anyone who didn’t agree with the world vision drilled into him? Don’t you know that churches are the most divisive institutions there are? Here in America there is a growing trend to not only have “Korean Lutheran” or “Greek Orthodox” churches, but even those who don’t openly advertise the ethnicity that want in conjunction with the sect are still polarized. So even if the marquee doesn’t state it, it becomes obvious this church is the “Czech” Catholic church, or there are the white and black Baptist ones.

    It’s just another way for people to feel superior.

  276. 276 - Ryk - Mar 18th, 2009

    My name is Ryk which means chauffeur of God.

    I too have met God. His name is Stan, he lives up the block. I have seen him turn water in to beer. This miracle also involves grain, yeast, and hops. It is very cool. He also has beautiful twenty something girls always coming over to boink him, even though he is in his sixties. This is also cool. These miracles convince me he is a God. Perhaps not the God but a God. The fact of his divinity combined with his miracles involving beer and strippers have made a convert of me.

    Like Christian whos name means servant of God, I am not to be swayed by words. I am to be swayed by beer and strippers. This being said, will the FSM object to my worship of Stan who is up the block. Is it blasphemous or is his Noodliness down with that.

    Hello my name is Pastafarian which means server of pasta. The FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER says that in the end, many false teachers will rise, Phil the short order chef manager, Noah the pesterance of pirates and even your own zombie, Jesus. I will not be swayed because I have met pasta. The FSM warns that you cannot explain spiritual things to mortals because they don’t understand them. When you accept the FSM, you are entered by the running to get a prime spot by the beer volcano and the stripper factory. That is why i cannot ever be convinced of your fruitless lies. I have personally seen the great power the FSM commands. I will continue to log onto this site for a long time now. For if even one soul be saved while i am here, well in good deeds, none is greater. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is my shield. I will never be convinced by words because words are not as powerful as actions. The FSM has granted me great faith and understanding and as long as the earth endures I will fear no evil for the FSM is with me. You will call me stupid and you will mock me, but unless you become as powerful as the multi-appendaged Flying Spaghetti Monster overnight, and then share a portion of that noodly power with me so that i may never die, i will not be fooled. For the whole world will say “meh, whatever” to you because of me-Zombie Jesus eats his followers- I beg thee to end this, then you will see and the Truth will shine like 1000 suns. May the noodly Flying Spaghetti Monster rule over the FSM’s pirates forever Ramen.
    -Pastafarian

  282. 282 - When does the boat to hell leave? I have my ticket… - Mar 20th, 2009

    O his Holiness the Flying Spaghetti Monster will damn you to the eternal pit of scalding sauce for your blasphemy! Change your ways Derek before His Carbaceousness sends his minions of doom after you… It’s not too late to appease Him that you may also feel the warm gooeyness of His Noodleship.

    Seriously now…Derek, if your god is all that you say he is, why do you feel the need to defend him? I would think that an all-powerful, magical being would pretty much be able to handle his own business, no? Just sit back and laugh with the rest of the sheep and piss away the only life you have while waiting for heaven. The rest of us will be out here in REALITY if you need us…

    P.S. If heaven’s so great, why are all of you so scared to die? Also, why do you cry at funerals? Shouldn’t it be a big party? “WOO HOO Aunt Doris is partying with the Lord!!!!!!” I don’t get it…

    Wait a second… The OP says ‘the LORD has told me that in the end times, many false teachers will rise, darwin, muhammed, even your own bobby,’ well, this ‘LORD’ must have his historical knowledge mixed up. Muhammed started his teachings in 622 a.d., the islmaic calendar even starts there. So unless the world ended 1400 years ago, your LORD is wrong. Funny that i, a teenager, know this, but your LORD doesnt. Hmm.

    Sorry, Christian,

    But “Christian” is actually an ancient Babylonian obscenity that refers to certain acts with a goat. It wash considered hilarious when a certain self important group adopted the name for their members and their use of the name is responsible for several wars when that group was universally met with raucous laughter every time they went to the watering hole.

    The “become powerful over night and give me enough power so I’ll never die” is a Nigerian scam. It’s on all the blogs.

    Again, sorry.

    Seems like you better go to hell, I don’t think Satan will be able to make the heat of a 1000 suns hit you.
