This site is frustrating because these “pastafarians” just use this mock religion to bash on everyone else’s beliefs. there are pieces in the Bible that seem absurd… talking animals, reanimated corpses, the ground opening up and swallowing people, etc. but nothing that takes THIS great a leap in logic. God isn’t a “bearded man on a cloud” He’s the creative force in this universe. hell isn’t a place where you can “chill with friends, but boy is it hot in here”… hell is a place reserved for Satan, and the people who he deceives into following him there. don’t take all this as “shoving my religion down your throat” take it as a clarification of some misunderstandings some pastafarians seem to have about Christianity. the obvious point behind this website is to say “hey you believe in God without proof, well we believe in noodles, and since they already exist, that counts as proof”… well basically, it’s not proof people should look for in spirituality… it’s doctrine. pastafarian doctrine is an obvious farce. the Bible has integrity. where all these other “religious books” fall short, the Bible stands firm. you guys couldn’t even come up with an original name… it had to be ripped off from the Rastafarians… give the Bible a try, an honest try.
Peace and Love for my fellow humans,
Joe
Being Pastafarian Satan I am forced to contribute to all of these things, but there’s nothing left to add. Everything above is true, that by the loyal pastafarian community that is, and there is nothing really left to be said that will not be pointless repetition. Now if only these people would come back to the site and read what we have to say. But, alas, there’s no way in hell that’s ever going to happen.
Dude, the name wasn’t ripped off of Rastafarians. It was ripped off of the word pasta. The “Rastafarian/Pastafarian” thing was just one huge coincidence. We’re still not sure the Rastafarians didn’t rip us off.
excuse me mr ” my ideas may be farfecthed but at least i can pretend they make more sense than yours”
my first point is to point out that you said hell is a place for satan….. satan isn’t even mentioned in the bible it was derived from the arabic word shaitian which means adversary it was used in the 17th century to describe both men of science and nonbelievers in christianity by the church, the reason its in arabic is because of the crusades the chruch saw islam (and some still do) as an adverary and decided to use one of their words to make the nonbelivers seem worse.
my second point is in almost all religions god himself is not pictured nor is any description of him given (the exceptions being hindu-ism and some christian beliefs) so how can you say he is not a flying sphaghetti monster
can i get a RAmen?
Honestly Joe, your drivel is making us Pastafanarians just fall over one another trying to show you how dumb you sound, can you please make sense?

Hello Joe,
I hate to be the one to inform you that you do not have the authority to define our relationship of any diety. You may be a christian, but you are not God and you are not authorized to speak for him. That you even sent this letter to rant about hell is, by definition “hubris”. If there is a God, I believe several people have misinterpreted his messages with some disasterous results. As for mocking your religion, I apologize. I wish the entire world could coexist peacefully and I believe that if that’s ever going to happen then we all need to learn to leave each other the hell alone about this stuff. I have questioned myself a number of times if this site is really the right way to do that.
Wait, man…. I feel the need to cut in; Zeitgeist is bullshit:

It’s not science v religion, it’s science v paranoia.
There are some truths behind it, but they’re drowned in misconstrued data. Watching it was like a really bad trip that I couldn’t escape (it’s a really long movie); or like eating too many Ramen noodle sandwiches, drinking too much coffee, and then throwing up in my brain. By the end I couldn’t think anything for myself, but I desperately looked for a site that would fairly debunk it. It’s ridiculous, but it pulls you into its own reality so that you can’t think for yourself. It was like Peter Joseph was using the corrupt cultural hierarchy to get into my head and BEND ME TO HIS WILL! And he was! HE… WAS! I finally knew the truth! I was trippin balls, man. TRIPPIN BALLS!!! There was no way out! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! When I came down, I figured out it was all bullshit. Most of it, anyway. Impressive credits though. :)
