		<description>Erin,

You seem like a very bright young woman. You say it&#039;s hard enough for you to believe in god. I respect you for that because you clearly don&#039;t just accept what you are told. 

Your comments about the &#039;ha ha, in-your-face&#039; attitude were well aimed. I think some of us are guilty of that from time to time. This criticism is a good one, much better than the generally mis-spelled and incoherent ones of adults.  You really made me think about my attitude.  Condescension is awful. I think the point of the Spaghetti Monster is to point out that believing in a sky-god is irrational. But if I were a Catholic like you  I&#039;d probably say to myself &#039;well, I don&#039;t put such an emphasis on rationality as you. There are more important things.&#039; ...and I can&#039;t see a way round that argument.  Just remember that this is a space for debate.  I don&#039;t hate god, I just don&#039;t believe in him. I don&#039;t hate you...or think you are a fool, I just disagree with you.  

By the way people, what&#039;s with thinking that she&#039;s not thirteen? Give young people some credit - they&#039;re not all x-box zombies!

Yeah, that&#039;s a good conclusion.  Belief in god: irrational but not stupid.</description>

		<description>&quot;Its hard enough for me to have faith in God already&quot;

My dear Erin, faith is not meant to be difficult, it&#039;s just meant to be what you believe in.

&quot;I’m the type of person who needs to have things proven to them&quot;

Hmm I can&#039;t think of any religion that has solid proof, Pastafarianism seems to have alot of evidence though...

&quot;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)&quot;

Well you could of tried a little harder love, you could of said many things instead of stupid. I believe that  misguided is the most popular term used by concerned citizens.

Finally, next time you&#039;re on the web search catholic on yahoo, you might find a website more to your own liking that way.

R&#039;Amen</description>

		<description>Erin, full heartedly believe in the flying spaghetti monster, and can&#039;t see why other people don&#039;t. He has much more evidence backing him up, most religions have a book with stories in it, we have a book with facts! Don&#039;t worry though, I&#039;m sure the flying spaghetti monster will let you into heaven, you just won&#039;t be first in line for the beer volcano and the stripper factory
PS: Humans share 95% of their DNA with monkeys, but we share 99.9% of our DNA with pirates! Aaargh!</description>

		<description>kids got spirit ill give her that, and metaphoric balls. 

&quot;I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don&#039;t believe in me, that&#039;s okay. Really, I&#039;m not that vain. Besides, this isn&#039;t about them so don&#039;t change the subject.&quot;

		<description>It really isn&#039;t so hard to believe that a 13 year old wrote this letter. They aren&#039;t all stupid. I was like that when I was like that when I was 13 too. So she (I assume Erin is a feminine spelling) spelled college wrong. Does it matter? It&#039;s a common mistake. And just because she finds it difficult to believe in her religion doesn&#039;t make her religion bad. It makes her a logical and probably scientific person. I&#039;m not Catholic, but I won&#039;t knock down people&#039;s religions just because I don&#039;t belive in them. This really does seem like something a 13 year old would write. An intelliegent and civil 13 year old, that is. Erin is intelligent, and respectful in her disagreement. That being said, it&#039;s too bad such maturity should go to waste- considering Erin&#039;s slight closed-mindedness toward the subject of religion. Maybe she doesn&#039;t understand the satirical look at religion. I&#039;m christian and I can appreciate pastafarianism. Maybe she&#039;ll come back in a couple years and get it.</description>

		<description>To ‘I AM THE ANOINTED ONE THE GIVER OR TRUTH’ @ 170

You’re pulling my wooden leg, this is a fake, yes? What gives it away is a lack of knowledge of religious dogma a ‘giver of truth’ would need.

The most interesting error is the ‘number of the beast’ commonly believed to be 666 but is in fact is 616*, this simple error was down to translation from the originals, makes you wonder what else people take as fact which are mistranslations?  (* From the earliest known record of the Book of Revelation a 1,700 year old papyrus, from the Oxyrhynchus site, Papyrus 115)

Though judging from your post writing is not your strong point which would leave me to guess your reading not to hot either which brings in to question your ability interpret scripture.

On a lighter note you said “I have been hitting walls with my fellow Christians”, try using a hammer!

		<description>Im getting fed up with all these hate mailers saying about how nobody will follow this...
Haven&#039;t they seen the big advertisement saying &quot;more than 100,000 sold&quot; about the gospel (I was one of them) o&#039;r read any pages saying how we have hundreds of thousands of followers?
To me it looks like they hate us with out knowing anything about us!
And they don&#039;t comment to try and argue their point on their hate mail!

That&#039;s one of the best rants we&#039;ve seen on this site.  If you believe you are really communicating with God/Allah, please take two of the yellow capsules and call your psychiatrist in the morning.

Save your Apocalyptic crap for street missionary work where you carry a placard that says: THE END IS NEAR--REPENT YE SINNERS.
-
Even though both religions are bullshit, there are big differences between Islam and Christianity.  That&#039;s why there has been constant turmoil and fighting between Muslims and Christians for the last 1,400 years, you nitwit.
-
I&#039;ll stick with the Flying Spaghetti Monster; he&#039;s never caused a war or the slaughter of innocent people.

		<description>I find it far easier to believe a 13 year old could write this letter than I do in the existence of an invisible undying man who can create universes from nothing but needs me to donate money.</description>

		<description>&quot;I am a practicing Roman Catholic. And I am also 13 years old... Its hard enough for me to have faith in God already, but I just found your site…&quot;

I would just like to point out that if THIS is enough to shake your belief in &quot;god&quot; you do not REALLY believe in &quot;god.&quot;

I would also like to point out that faith and belief, or the lack thereof, mean nothing. 

Example: Hypothetically, if I believe in God, but there isn&#039;t a God, all the &quot;faith and belief&quot; that I can muster does not make a god exist. However, if I don&#039;t believe, but a god does exist, my lack of belief will not prevent god from existing.</description>

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&#039;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.

I can&#039;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&#039;t mean to afend thy brother.I do love you unconditionally.I can&#039;t speak for anyone else but myself.

		<description>I&#039;m a &#039;practicing&#039; 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&#039;t seem to grasp that); and b) Catholics don&#039;t believe in creationism either! Why this site should shake the faith of someone who isn&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s important that she understands the negative aspects of both bad religion and bad science. I don&#039;t, however, encourage her to read the comments section as it will just offend her and make the whole point of the site redundant.</description>

		<description>&quot;&quot;&quot;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.&quot;&quot;&quot;

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.</description>

		<description>Hi Erin,
life sometimes is crappy, but just take it as it comes. that&#039;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!

		<description>To all these Christian/Catholic replies so &quot;offended&quot; 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.</description>

		<description>I give the kid credit. That was pretty eloquent, even if little Erin did miss the point. Maybe once she (I assume it&#039;s a she) learns about satire in high school english she&#039;ll come back to this and realize what&#039;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.</description>
