Wow, I didn’t think this was real

Wow, I didn’t think this was real until I googled it. You people actually worship fsm?? Well if this is true then I believe it if people can worship cows, and buddahs then why not fms. But I still think this is crazy, just a way for non-believers to get a laugh, but its not even funny its sad. I’m not going to give any death threats or tell you that your going to hell because you’re probably use to that and I’m sure you’r tiered of hearing it. So have fun worshiping fms I hope somone out there is praying for you all really hard.

    Hey kiki,
    You are quite right, when people believe in zombies born to virgins who are their own father, why not FSM? You may think it is crazy, and I think you are a jackass. And I don’t care for prayers-my lucky horseshoe trumps them all.
    You are also right that you are not the first troll we have had. The world is so full of losers needing a life. As you said yourself, it’s not even funny, it’s sad.
    By the way kiki, you misspelled your own name. It is “kinky”.

    I don’t know of any religion that worships cows or buddahs (Buddists just try to follow his teachings), but at least cows (and spaghetti)exist and there is evidence that Buddah existed. You are correct that people will worship many strange things, like invisible sky daddies, a figure of a dead guy stapled to sticks and a statue of a woman who claims she gave birth without conception (really, Honey, it’s true! I didn’t sleep with your best friend). By the way, how does one pray really hard? Do you break out in a sweat from expending all that brain power? Does it work better that way? I’m betting it doesn’t. Let’s all just try to be good people, learn about the world and help others when we can. Atheists try to do that because we know that this is the only life we are going to live so we make the best use of it that we are able to. That includes educating the religious of the impossibility of their fallacies.

    I first started to suspect that christianity was bunk when I was told in first communion class that that dried wafer that sticks to the roof of your mouth was actually the body of christ, not just a symbol of it. I knew enough chemistry even when I was 12 years old to know that I was being lied to. Enlightenment soon followed.

    1. By hating on non-seculars, buddhists, and hindus you have successfully insulted approximately 2.376 billion people (not a made up number), and due to the fact that you probably disprove of every other religion out there except your own that means you think 4.5 billion people out there are absolutely insane.. seems unlikely to me.
    2. Its weird to me that people can be so ignorant, and on top of it try to express their feelings towards this subject by telling “non-believers” that they will pray for us. Isn’t that kind of what we DON’T believe in?
    3. Why did you list all the things you *weren’t going to do? (In this response I’m not going to discuss Russia’s foreign policy, the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, or a Banana Slug’s defense mechanisms) Is that truly necessary?
    4. If you are going to make a persuasive and powerful argument you should try a) learn about what you are arguing and b) spell all the words correctly. Frankly, I find it funny how you bashed on the FMS. Everyone knows us Pastafarians worship the FSM and HAAAATTTTEEEEE that dirty FMS! “you’r tiered” After reading this all I see when I try and picture kiki is an ignorant 13 year old boy who was home-schooled by his equally ignorant parents trying to make them proud by arguing topics way too intelligent for him. Now, I’m sure kiki that you aren’t a 13 year old boy, but based on how you presented your argument it sort of seems that way.

    We do not worship the “FMS” or “Financial Management Service.” We worship the FSM or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. As surprising as it sounds, the two are actually quite different. It would be impossible to put in mere words how different they really are. And no, we are not “tiered,” or should I say “having or arranged in tiers, rows, or layers.” And you think our religion is unfunny? Well, guess what, it’s funnier than yours. Oh yeah I went there. But our religion, it makes just as much sense as yours, so why? Why do you hate us so?

While FSM is a good laugh, and closely analagous with religion, it’s so highly offensive to any religious person. The best way to get someone to come around is rational discourse, not mockery and parody.

    I just wanted to give you a short report on my everlasting life in heaven. I’m so glad that just before I sipped cyanide and put a bullet in my brain I accepted Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior. Oh yes, you might say that I did a few bad things while I was alive, but I was saved in the last moment by His wondrous mercy and love.

    Had I not committed to Jesus, I would have, no doubt, spent eternity in Hell. Instead, I have flowing white robes and spend my time singing and chanting praises for God and his Son. Salvation is available to all you sinners, even Pastafarians, so repent now while you have the oportunity.

I find your deity’s (YHWH or El) propensity to violence and filicide especially disturbing. I find the FSM to be as benign and as positive an influence on society as Shakyamuni Buddha or Mahatma Gandhi. Who has the weirder religion? You do know the difference between an religion and a myth? A religion is YOUR myth.

    Not to take sides, being a fence sitting Agnostic, and might I say there are some interesting arguments on each side. But the biggest problem I have with religion is that most of you “preach” about how you should be tolerant of their religion but seem not to show any tolerance for others and the people who most want to tell you about their beliefs are always the ones who don’t want to hear about yours… Makes me want to make the jump from Agnosticism to Nihilism… but I won’t, just yet… anyway, I digress, do you FSMs believe that you’re the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel?

    Let me being, Kiki, by saying you were incredibly rude in your post. I’m not going to criticize your post (if you don’t get the irony here, please read it again,) but not only did you insult three religions and the groups of people who follow those religions, but you’ve managed to get every word across of what you said you wouldn’t do. I am no Pastafarian, and I’m no longer Christian. I’m just an average Theist who tries his best to follow Buddhism’s concepts in peace. While I do not worship any religious icon/deity, I find having a set of guidelines to follow which suit your personality while giving yourself moral support is a good thing. It allows you to stay stronger. I don’t mind the church at all because everyone there is giving off energy to support your hopes and endeavors, and you can do the same for others. I don’t find the story of a woman becoming pregnant by the Work of God to be all too realistic or rational, though. You insulted a body of people who you don’t even know. “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” Have you ever heard that?

    God loves all His Children. God hates gays, and He sends them to Hell. True sexual orientation, according to recent studies, is decided when a person is incredibly young. True, choice has a role in it, but scientifically, research has proven it’s not a total choice. Gays born into the Church of Christ are still His Children, but God hates those Children even though they believe in Him and then send then to Hell. Does that make sense? I didn’t mean to be rude or cruel, but what I just posted was a flaw to me. Just about every religion has those types of flaws. I’d rather not commit myself to something where there’s hate, especially on something which cannot fully be controlled. I hope I’ve changed your view of other religions and at the same time have NOT changed your faith. It’s not my position to do that. By the way, Kiki, I’m 14 and I wrote this post. You could have written yours better/more professionally.

    While the other post is awaiting moderation, if it’s possible, please edit the error I found. I wrote “Gays born into the Church of Christ are still His Children, but God hates those Children even though they believe in Him and then send then to Hell.” That was partially my computer’s error. The keys jam and it makes typing hard. If possible, please remove the end of that sentence (”and then send then to Hell.”) and simply end it at “Him.”

    You. People like you, piss me off. I’m 15 and have had the common sense enough, WHEN I WAS EIGHT MIND YOU, to think about Christianity and go, “Wow… This is stupid.” I haven’t been a Christian for 7 years, I used to be atheist, but now I’m a Pastafarian, because it has more evidence than your god. Calling this religion sad? Have you taken a look at your Bible, the fact that your churches tell people they’re not good enough, the only way the CAN be good enough, is by selling their soul to a giant man in the sky. But OUR religion is sad. People will forgo the bar necessities of life, just to scrounge up enough money to give to your selfish god. But to come here, and not even have the common DECENCY to type CORRECTLY, and I’m more than sure you’re capable of it, is SICK. Most of the people who send hate-mail, I believe they have never actually been exposed to anything outside their little fairytale world, and haven’t really had a proper education. But you seem like you’re smart behind that keyboard, smart enough that you COULD type correctly, you just didn’t think it was important enough.

    The arrogance of the followers of Abrahamic death cults amazes me. They can not comprehend that another religion could be different than theirs. Buddhists do not worship the Buddha, they are inspired to achieve enlightenment so that they will be a Buddha. Hindus have an amazing bureaucracy of deities, but cows are not considered gods. Cows are believed to be one step below humans on their reincarnation scale. Therefore, cows are holy to them.
    I will not boil down the absurdities of xtianity, others before me have done me the favor. Look, if a being is so powerful that it can create the universe, then I’ll wager that it can take on any form or non-form that it desires. So, a FSM is just as probable as a giant, male, Caucasian god as the creator. Except for one nagging detail: we are right, you’re not!!
    Oh, and another thing, the computer that you use underlines misspelled words, not incorrectly used ones. So if a word is underlined, it should be scrutinized. Using a dictionary instead of spell check to correct a word may result in you learning something. Do not be alarmed by this, it happens to me all the time and I still love it. To write in a language, you need to actually be well versed in it. Maybe next time you use your native language.

    @ Nate #18. Not all religious people are offended by the FSM. Some commentators here who identified themselves as Christians have said they are not offended, rather found it hilarious. As for humorless fundagelicals, it is an excercise in futility to try to get them to “come around”. But having a good laugh at their expense is great fun and lifw without it would be quite boring.

    Oxford definition of ’satire’
    I. 1. A poem, or in modern use sometimes a prose composition, in which prevailing vices or follies are held up to ridicule. Sometimes, less correctly, applied to a composition in verse or prose intended to ridicule a particular person or class of persons, a lampoon.

    Oh, you must be right #45; or maybe you should have carefully read the definition of ’satire’ before you posted. I am all for the satirical nature of this site, it is witty and insightful. I am just not for the hypocritical outbursts Pastafarians are more than happy to make on its behalf.

    @48. The only hypocrite one here is you. Now that you know what satire means, will you please tell me, how is anyone going to send the kinky troll to “pastafarian hell”? How can you possibly say we are no better than a religion that for 2000 of years has responded to dissent with the threat of eternal hellfire-not to mention the thousands they burned physically at the stake, for centuries? Is that the same as confronting a troll so insecure he/she feels threatened by a satire website and needs to send hatemail? And the nonexistent “pastafarian hell” and the hell every preacher tells you is real are even remotely comparable? Am I not right to say you have no idea what satire means even now?

    @48 Here is the most recent Oxford English Dictionary of Satire, http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/satire?view=uk

    1 the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices. 2 a play, novel, etc. using satire. 3 (in Latin literature) a literary miscellany, especially a poem ridiculing prevalent vices or follies.

    Yours seems to be out of date. Now stop being a stupid and obnoxious person, or if you want a more consice word, try http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/twat?view=uk

    I have to say, this is probably the most skillfully written hate mail on the site; for that I do sincerely commend you. This site isnt about worshipping the fsm, its about preventing fundamentalists from ruining public education and pointing out the ridiculousness of religion.

    My apologies for everyone thats going to say your going to hell, they arent what this “church” is supposed to be about.

    #50- Thanks, apparently some people are not very good at being disagreed with.

    #52, 53- While it is interesting that you find it necessary that I read all of your recommended materials, you still seem to be missing my point. Please, let me restate it as simply as I can. I do not object to this site, or the message it is portraying. I do not think that it is good for people to be sending this site hate mail. What I don’t agree with is how intolerant FSM supporters are of people who have a narrow minded view of the world. That’s how they are; be better, be bigger. How is calling these people names going to change anything? It just fuels the flames of intolerance.

    Thanks for the reading material #52, I did read it prior to reading all of these comments. I liked this site and thought is was fun until I saw the hate some FSM followers can spew.
    And #53… My source is OED database, that would be Oxford English Dictionary. Note: Reputable dictionaries don’t use the word “stupid” in their definitions, it’s uncouth.

    Both of you directing me to extra material and calling me names makes me laugh, and pity your argument skills.

    #52- Not all members of a religion would burn living humans at a stake, that would be a grand generalization. And comparing “spaghetti hell” to “real hell” is like comparing “Flying Spaghetti Monster” to “real God.” Neither of which I did.

    @56, you are being dishonest, which of course is typical for religious apologists. It is a strawman argument to say “not all religious people would burn you at the stake”. The fact is, this is a relgion that has for millenia responded to dissent with threats of brimstone and hellfire, and in fact it is what haters like kiki are doing. You did say we are ready to send them to “spaghetti hell”, which of course is gibberish. You are claiming that responding to a troll is like sending them to our version of hell. which again, means you have either have no understanding of the concepts of parody and satire, or you are being consciously deceitful. I don’t visit their websites and tell them they have dedicated their lives to a myth. Why can’t we expect the same courtesy from them?
    And it is quite pathetic to try to become “popular” by trolling the internet.

    @ – HaHa Yea – #55,
    Our intolerance with narrow-minded people is because those are the people who insist that everybody else be as narrow-minded as they. Those are the ones who are in charge of the blood-letting taking place in Iran now. Those are the people who have managed genocides throughout history. As I’ve said before, this is our website and it is perfectly acceptable for us to defend our cause here:

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/program.html

    Your comment about the OED leads me to wonder how disreputable or uncouth you think that reference is, or whether you’ve read any of it:

    http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/twat?view=uk

    Let me direct your attention to Southern Ptarmigan’s comments (tenth down in the comments section). Here is an Evangelical Christian who knows church history and has this whole issue in perspective:

    http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=letters-may-2009&sc=DD_20090508

    As you have probably perceived by now, your opinions are at odds with those of most Pastafarians, while we have understood from the outset that the chances of converting or enlightening you are close to zero. We do enjoy these sparring matches with you. Please enjoy your trolling elsewhere, and let us leave you with the words of The Dalai Lama:

    Yes, of course we worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I pray to him each and every night and follow all of His commandments. Since the satire of the FSM has clearly escaped you, I imagine my sarcasm won’t go a long way with you either. And in response to your claim that it’s simply a way for non-believers to get a laugh, I must say that I agree with you. Such is the purpose of satire… humor. Nothing gets past you! Also, I appreciate your semi-threat… you would have told us all to go to hell but other people have beat you to it! How very Christian of you!

    Kiki my dear child,
    I wonder why you would say church for the flying spaghetti monster would be a way for non-believers to get a laugh? Non-believers meaning those who do not believe in… what? Are we non-believers because we don’t believe in Allah? Or because we don’t believe in Quetzalcoatl, or Morgan Freeman? Pastafarians are certainly “believers,” but the belief rests upon a god of noodles rather than a god of flesh, crackers, and hooch. And why would you ever consider threatening us with death in the first place? If your god is truly the only one, then won’t he handle us appropriately once we’re gone? Though it’s perfectly plausible that among the millions to choose from, your god will be as phony as any other and you’ll end up with stale beer.

    @28- Hopefully you are jesting,

    First off, yes I think at the present time, it makes more sense then believing in a person we have no hope of proving scientifically. You said in your post, “I digress, do you FSMs believe that you’re the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel?”

    Well I do have a few questions for you. Why just five monkeys? Whats a fish squirrel? and what does butt sex have to do with conception of live young (when obviously the uterus of the female monkey is in the other hole)? Why do you call them monkeys, when monkeys have tails and obviously chimps do not? (This sets chimps up on a different category, then monkeys.) Where does the squirrel fit in to the puzzle?

    Secondly, Science has unraveled the human genetic code and the chimps genetic code and found them to be 98% the same. The .02% difference allows our brains to grow and think differently, our backs to stand up straight, our fur to disappear, and our eye teeth to get smaller with each generation; despite the .02% difference it still means that we did share a same ancestor down the line.
    Also the fact we never found the “missing link” you would be surprised to know, that most records we have of dinosaurs fossils (in most cases) are the lucky few that managed to survive. This is mostly due to rock sedimentation and pressure, wh,ich causes the bones to, in turn, turn to rock over time (Most other fossils get destroyed by natural disasters).

    Thirdly, how does a fish and squirrel mate? Their genetics would not allow a union on a genetic level, their species are too far apart in every which way to form the abomination such as “fish-squirrel”. The reason why we are hairless compared to other creatures is called evolution and selective breeding. I guess hairless “monkey” men were more attractive to the females of our ancestors. So, it proved to be good to mate with less and less hairy men down the line. The fish, where a few people and (admittedly) a few scientists think we have came from is because within the womb we look much like our dolphin and whale friends. Well I’m pointing this out as of now, almost all creatures within the womb look like fish at certain stages. So in essence we look like a dog fetus, and a cat fetus, does that make it so? No, not in the least.

    fourthly, if you are referring to the creation idea that we were all part of a primordial soup, scientist have yet to prove it, successfully. Though, a simple experiment in a lab can show we can make amino acids from nonliving matter. This was founded in 1960, so this might be a link to how the human race was created.

    My fifth and last point, FSMs is to openly mock the idea that people would be willing to push religious Idiosyncrasies in a classroom where science is needed. You know, science classrooms where they teach cold hard facts. Science, unlike religion wants to be proven wrong with observations and facts, so it can expand in knowledge.Organized religion bases it’s power in ignorance; proving it wrong will case it to crumble. So they have things like “Omnipotence” and “God has a reason for everything” to excuse the idea of falsehood. Now, I respect other’s views, this is my idea, I’m spiritual I believe in something, but not in organized religion. I can’t I think the people need to understand you can be a good person, donate to charity, follow good morals and not have to be praying or believing at all in a god to live a healthy life. The bible, I don’t care to think of, it’s words made by man, interpreted by man, and followed in different ways by man. Everyone has their own thing, as long as they are not hurting anyone with negative comments, threats, and/or physical harm. They can continue believing in their god, without interference. WE, are worshipers of the FSM, we arrrr a proud and carefree rum drinking, swashbuckling, eye patch wearing, loosely based. If people have a problem with that, well maybe they should not even come here to talk.

    Kiki, you people (*gasp–political incorrectness!*) really complete me, you know that? Visiting this website makes me so glad I’m not you. PLEASE, get your facts straight. Hindus, if that is whom you are referring to, do NOT worship cows, although they do consider them sacred and I’m guessing they most likely have a god that somewhat resembles a cow. Buddhists do not worship the Buddha, mainly because there are numerous Buddhas who are not deities but teachers to lead you on the path to Nirvana. Next you’ll be saying we Pastafarians have some bizarre ritual where we eat our god and regurgitate him, or do something sexual with his meatballs, or something equally grotesque. (Oh, wait, there have already been people saying that.) Please do some research before you criticize a religion. I’m not sure we’re “tiered” of hearing death threats or warnings of eternal hellfire, because technically we are Pastafarians, not tiers.

Who cares what this person believes, its funny and he has every right to publish it. I hate to say it, but it appears many of you Christians are the ones who have a big problem with this, so maybe you should take a look in your bible (Which by the way was written waaaay after Jesus died) and take a gander about tolerance… Oh yeah, dinosaurs existed WAY before Jesus… damn fundamentalists. You guys slam him for not having a life, but here you are broadcasting your biased opinions and saying a bunch of fundamentalist bullshit like he’s going to hell. You all need to calm down and embrace flying spaghetti monsters… or at least shrug it off and worship your own God without being condescending to others.
