I am a practicing Roman Catholic

I am a practicing Roman Catholic. And I am also 13 years old. I was on Yahoo Answers and found a question about “The Flying Spaghetti Monster” So, I clicked on it. I probably shouldn’t have but when the link finished loading, I almost cried. Its hard enough for me to have faith in God already, I’m the type of person who needs to have things proven to them, but I just found your site… Disgusting for lack of a better word. I also heard that you made this site because you wanted to get back at the Kansas School Committee or something. I am hoping and praying that this is a true fact, and that you really don’t believe in this. I know this is wrong of me to say. People should believe in whatever they want, but really, looking at some of the articles that you have written, It seems that your site is more of an “In your face” thing to the Christians saying “Haha, we can make a religion just as easy as you guys can, see how stupid it is now?” For example ‘Your just jealous that our god has bigger balls then yours’? Excuse me for my language, but thats just crap, again, for lack of kinder terminology.
Even so, if you made this as a joke, or something to pass the time, that doesnt mean everyone else sees it that way. I mean, come on, you have a majority of collage students believing in this, and hopefully they’ll see how stupid (excuse me for saying that, im just trying to tell you my opinion without criticizing you further then everyone else already has) this all was, and that they may want to rethink their ways, that maybe you’ve gone a little too far?
I relize this all probably sounds silly from a 13 year old, but please take this into consideration…. If this whole thing is not a joke, im sorry, but if it was bobby… Thats kind of sad.

    To all the people who are claiming that no 13-year-old could possibly write as accurately and with as deep thought as Erin does, I would like to say that there are many 13-year-olds (and younger) who can write as well as she/he does. Hopefully, including me. You should not be doubting the validity of her/his said age but applaud the fact that he/she writes this well.

    Erin: I am so glad that someone my age is this intelligent, and has a wide enough perspective that they can bring themselves to doubt their own religion, and yet enough loyalty and faith to speak up against (however mistakenly) against another. Personally, I love Pastafariansm, and think all religions have a lot to learn from its satirical observations.

    #152-So what your saying is Jesus is a Cannibal, because thats what i got out of your little “joke”. #154 AKA the “13″ yr old named Ringo, you make some points. 13 years old isnt that young, by 7-8th grade i would imagine you would know how to use the computer and a spellchecker. but the best part of this whole thing is the fact that Erin says that she/he is a “practicing” roman catholic, but at the same time isnt sure about the religion. so to my point, why are you saying my religion is wrong, when yours is just as far fetched. to say that beliving in a FSM is stupid is just as stupid as beliving in an all powerful God or his zombie son Jesus.

    P.s. i think that the “collage students” have better things to worry about than what religion they choose to believe in, like partying like the pirates they are!

    so, just wait a minute, you’re actually trying to believe in something that there is no proof of? Being a person of reason, according to what you said, why would you try to believe in anything without overwhelmingly irrefutable evidence? I guess I just can’t see how someone who tries to say that they that they like to take a logical viewpoint on the world, and then decides to believe in something with no proof. Moreover, why shouldn’t the christian religion be scrutinized? They waste billions of dollars that could be going to the medicinal field on beliefs in a god who they made up just to feel like there is a purpose and that they will live eternally in heaven, when clearly the opposite is true, and we should be making progress in the fields that would increase the wellbeing of the populace, while dismissing the nonsensical things that make up society.

    I give the kid credit. That was pretty eloquent, even if little Erin did miss the point. Maybe once she (I assume it’s a she) learns about satire in high school english she’ll come back to this and realize what’s going on.

    Kid has the potential to be an intelligent member of society someday. That whole thing was actually pretty respectful from someone who missed the point.

    To all these Christian/Catholic replies so “offended” with our religious proclivity for consuming our Almighty Creator, have you all forgotten about COMMUNION? You put a cracker in your mouth and believe that it LITERALLY turns into the body of your God! You LITERALLY think you end up with some Jesus in your tummies! At least OUR God goes good with salad and some breadsticks.

    Hi Erin,
    life sometimes is crappy, but just take it as it comes. that’s life is and how it should be.
    so just go on breathing in and out, wake up every morning, and go on asking questions, keep your eyes and ears open. when you stop asking questions an shut your eyes and ears life is over.
    Live long and prosper!

    “”"How on earth do you classify that letter as hate? BTW I just eat your god yesterday, and mine the day before… I must say I like mine better, yours has way too many carbs.”"”

    Eating crackers and drinking wine at Church! PAGAN! You know that the only body you need to devour is the noodle, and blood you need to drink is the sauce of life! As for wine, FSM prefers red, but white is fine for new converts.

    I’m a ‘practicing’ Catholic too. My 13yr old LOVES this site, which I showed her. Poor Erin appears not to understand that a) this site is satirical (to be fair, a lot of your adult readers don’t seem to grasp that); and b) Catholics don’t believe in creationism either! Why this site should shake the faith of someone who isn’t required to believe in that crap anyway is beyond me. I understand that Catholicism is much more rigid and right-wing in the US than in the UK, we don’t have to deal with this sort of fundamentalist onslaught, so I feel really sorry for this poor kid. And I doubt that telling him/her that Jesus was a syphilitic man whore is going to win him/her to atheism, or even Resurrection Catholicism. It will just drive people into a defensive position. I encourage my daughter to read sites like this because I think it’s important that she understands the negative aspects of both bad religion and bad science. I don’t, however, encourage her to read the comments section as it will just offend her and make the whole point of the site redundant.

    My brother I not know.I want you to forgive me of old thought.I as a Christian American with not much knowldge of your belief except some I tell you might not understand.I will try to explain please be patient I m not well educated and think like scripture and thus you might get lost of my meaning but I written for Allah my God talks to me and gives me insight to all scripture and true meaning but may get lost in Belief for belief of time.My own fellow brothers in Jesus don’t believe me for they are blinded for reason I not know but accept which I not understand. Bible knowledge is not studied just known from sunday school. Just want you to know for some reason? Anyways Muhammad is true and true to my brother Muslims.Jesus is just the same to my brother Christians.Both are the same by belief and true. Muhammad is the son of God, thus Jesus is the son of God.Both are true to belief and thus both are also true. God the Father and God the son.If I was looking how to spell Muhammad and saw few sentances and seen how both are same.Differant times but both true.Not just to your belief but mine and mine only until it is time I not know until he sees fit. I just do as instructed. I have been hitting walls with my fellow Christians.The don’t understand that One Book is like the Father and son.Both are true!Listen please,One Book or testament is of one beginning of law. Other is differant yet both true to thus time.For REASON HIS REASON. I need not worry.For if we believe is all that matters.I Love all man for I am safe from sin.All of thy world are blind but see.God’s Plan! One, Love God or Allah for both are the same. Two, Love thy neighbor unconditional or equal.Most important above all sin. Christians have 10 Commandment. I don’t know yours but he says it is the same.But also differant. I can’t say for I not know Muslim belief accept what I tell you know. All are One Almighty God Father of all creation. So when I call him Allah it is also true.Thus he teaches me to see all of the Bible and Im guessin Karran? Don’t mean to afend thy brother.I do love you unconditionally.I can’t speak for anyone else but myself. For I know what no man knows.Until I have told them but thus blind to for reason of God or Allah does not matter to me for it is one in the same.As long as you believe by beliefs you are safe from Judgement Day.But come that day I not know right now is all yours to bare and not mine for this I do know without any question.I have no sins to bare for I know all truth, the truth you seek.I give you the answer are you blind or do you see. God is comming sooner than you ever expected. I know it with no question only reason all know but dont see.I accept which I not know for he does love us all.His time is his and his ONLY! Fear thes word for if you don’t It’s your sins to bare.God preparing our places in Heaven at this very moment.True Rightful Ares are FIRST. This is my reason and this is your reason. DO YOU UNDERSTAND OR YOU CAN JUST ACCEPT.Like I said before it is your sin to bare.NOT MINE I DO LOVE YOU.I can’t get all my brother together and stop fighting and stay on track.1. Love thy God with all thy Heart, soul and mind. 2. Love all man UNCONDITIONAL. Is this to much to ask? He is giving all a chance to accept which you do not know and to accept which you DO NOT UNDERSTAND.I guess you can say last call to forgive sins for he is comming like a thief in the night. Heath my warning to you and all man for I KNOW HIM AND HE KNOW ME,JUST AS YOU NOW YOU KNOW HIM AND ONLY I RIGHT NOW DOES UNTIL YOU READ THIS MESSAGE I GIVE YOU NOW.FOR ALL OF YOU ALL.I know only of these two GODS AND BOTH ARE THE SAME.DO YOU HEAR ME I AM GIVING ALL MAN THE LAST CHANCE TO FOR FOLLOW THE WORD KNOWN TO ALL BY BELIEF.IF YOU DO NOT YOU WILL PAY.I SAY PAY AT THAT DAY HE ONLY KNOWS.I NOT KNOW BUT ACCEPT.YOU BETTER FEAR MY WORD.I TYPE IT BUT THESE ARE HIS WORDS JUST AND THE SON OF MAN IS TO ALL WHOM BELIEVE BY EVEN ONLY BY BELIEF.

Purchase the Gospel

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
