For all the gods of the peoples are idols

“For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.” (1 Chronicles 16:26).

“You shall not make anything to be with Me – gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.” (Exodus 20:23).

“What you have in your mind shall never be, when you say, ‘We will be like the Gentiles, like the families in other countries, serving wood and stone.’” (Ezekiel 20:32).

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3 (Deuteronomy 5:7, Judges 6:10, Hosea 13:4″

    “You shall not make anything to be with Me – gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.” (Exodus 20:23).

    Notice how they don’t mention Gods’ made of pasta.

    “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3 (Deuteronomy 5:7, Judges 6:10, Hosea 13:4″

    “Me” is a very general term. “Me” Could even be the FSM, testing us to see if we respond to his call.

    Saying random quotes that you pulled off of Wikipedia ( Slash 20:9)

    Does not make you very intelligent ( Prower 3:15)

    The third quote doesn’t make any sense ( Blackthorn 5:16)

    Shut up. ( Pasta 6:7)

    Please refer to Italian Cooking 101. Lots of quotes (an entire cookbook’s worth! Woot!), with more rewarding end results.

    I always find it hilarious when people use scripture in their arguments. Reason being, I can simply say, “I don’t accept your scripture as truth, bring me something that makes sense.” When that is said, either they give up or they vehemently defend their previous argument by stating again and again that the Bible is truth because God inspired men to write it, which they can’t prove except by using the Bible (obviously, the latter happens more often). It’s like saying that a red car goes faster because it’s red; you are using your statement as proof that your statement is true, without any regard to science or logic.

    “‘You shall not make anything to be with Me – gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.’ (Exodus 20:23).”

    ha! our God is made of pasta- not gold or silver!

    Forgive me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t it also say somewhere that God IS a god of the people?

    Psst. Jerry.

    When Christians go to church in their Christian church, is there a cross? Do they bow their heads and/or kneel before the cross? Is the cross not an idol?

    If Jesus is God incarnate, as is taught in the Christian religion, have they NOT violated the commandment in Exodus 20:23?

    If Christians pray to (or before) the figure of Jesus how are they NOT “serving wood and stone”?

    Last, but most definitely not least, are Christians’ not in violation of Jesus’ own teaching EVERY single Sunday? Actually, EVERY single time they pray in public at ALL, they are breaking Jesus’ commandments:

    “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.” Matthew 6:5-7

    (By the way, what follows the above passage is the Lord’s Prayer, which we’ve heard in stadiums throughout the U.S. a blue billion times: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, blah blah blah, blah blah blah…” Ironeh. It are teh funneh gud ‘n whotnot.)

    Now lemme translate all of Jesus’ preaching for the more Bible-illiterate-passage-spewing-Christians: Jesus really and truly wanted you to embrace the Art of STFU.

    @ 215 – Bobby Jindal -,

    Let me recommend looking at the comment of Southern Ptarmigan (tenth down in the comments section). Here is a Christian Evangelist who knows church history and who provides the references to the Christian equivalent of the Me, 12:11 reference:

    @ -Jerry,

    Your reference to Hosea 13:4 is most curious:

    “Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt KNOW no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.”

    In the first sentence, I supplied the capitals for the word “KNOW”. Are you familiar with the biblical Hebrew implications of the verb, ” To KNOW”? If you don’t know the Hebrew, you don’t know what it’s saying to you.

    In the second sentence, if God is saying that there’s no savior but himself, then that negates the entire Christian Testament. What a thoroughly Jewish concept you have confirmed by your hand.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
