There are strippers for everyone no matter what their sex or gender.  Going to heaven doesn&#039;t mean you become a stripper.  However, the faithful who totally love to take their clothes off have that option. 
Peace,

		<description>More jumping on ben (826)!
You say &quot;This Word of God has been proven as absolute truth&quot;.  Oh, really!!  
Like how?  That the world is flat, the &quot;Great Flood&quot; was 40 days, eh, make that 150, that rabbits chew their cud, that there was light before there was the sun, or that we are obliged to kill those of other religions?

Here&#039;s an exercise that will take you the rest of your life, Ben:
1)  prove God exists
2)  prove the BuyBull is the word of God
3)  prove God wasn&#039;t yanking your chain</description>

The attached talk tells us how our needs as helpless infants uses the same parts of the brain as our thoughts about the mythology of religion:

The fears and terrors of the unknown are powerful drivers in our need for superstition.

OK, as you requested, I label you a religious Christian bigot.  Thank you for revealing the &quot;absolute truth,&quot; as if we have never heard this spiel before.  Your self-righteous piety is the turnoff that is moving much of the world to secularism.  As a missionary, I rate you PP (Piss Poor)

		<description>@ 826 - ben -,

It seems from your rant that you cannot even read the Bible.  If you cannot read it you haven&#039;t a clue about what it says.  A (mis) translation can never be used for literary criticism.  

When you can read it, we can have an intelligent discussion about what it really says.  Until then, you&#039;ve been sucking-up too much pap from the pulpit.

The first word has been mistranslated by the scribes in 1611.  It gets worse from there.  Let&#039;s start there when you have learned the language, grammar, politics, economics, and geography of when it was written.

		<description>@ 838 lausaurus- Bob isn&#039;t an Atheist promoting Evolution, he is a Pastaferian promoting the teachings of the FSM in school. There&#039;s a big difference.

And that being said, if people promote the teaching of Creationism, and then also promote Catholosism, would you say &lt;i&gt;they&lt;/i&gt; have an agenda that goes beyond education as well? Like, for instance, brainwashing and world domination?

&quot;Until Darwinian Evolutionists drop their dogmatic agenda, the Creationists/ID proponents can’t be expected to drop their justified concern.&quot;
That&#039;s nice. Why don&#039;t you go tell that to the Darwinists instead of the Pastaferians? 

Peace out and R&#039;Amen!</description>

		<description>Church of the FSM? Dennis Prager is dead-on when he observes, &quot;if you don&#039;t believe in something, you&#039;ll believe in anything.&quot; Spaghetti is a creation of man. I wonder what Marco Polo would think had he known what he brought back from China would one day fill the void in the lives of people who needed so religion desperately, but defied any accountability to a diety.   
If Darwinians truly believe that religion must stay out of science, then what business does Dawkins have writing as an authority on religion? This website and it&#039;s concept was created by an Atheist dedicated to keeping creation/intelligent design out of the science classroom. These Atheist scientists are throwing gasoline on the &quot;brushfires around the country&quot; as termed by Eugenie Scott. When the same people who fight to teach purely Evolution, also promote Atheism, it is evident there is an agenda far beyond education. Until Darwinian Evolutionists drop their dogmatic agenda, the Creationists/ID proponents can&#039;t be expected to drop their justified concern.</description>

		<description>Although I respect your motives in attempting to expose religious fundamentalism, there are some aspects of this approach which will give rise to further problems for your followers. Firstly, as someone has already pointed out, &#039;Science&#039; is nothing more than a collection of theories, frequently based NOT upon sound and repeatable experiments, but on &#039;theoretical&#039; (hence the term) hypotheses. I give as just one example of this the theory of Gravitational Force. Now, only an idiot would suggest that we should not teach our kids this theory in science lessons, we have all been peddled this theory for as long as science has been taught. And yet...... it is not only &#039;just a theory&#039;, it&#039;s not even a very good theory. It just happens to be the best we can do with the knowledge we have at the moment. There are just too many inconsistencies in Gravity as a force of nature. For one, it just isn&#039;t as strong as it should be (the gravity, not the theory). Secondly, it should be present as &#039;waves&#039; and manifest as a particle, the much sought but never seen &#039;Graviton&#039;. Even should the Higgs Bosson particle be proved, it fails to plug all the gaps in the theory of Gravity. My point is that, whilst Creationism is very bad Science, it represents (or rather illustrates) the worst of the problems one encounters often in science. So, maybe we should teach our kids ONLY the science that is provable, a short lesson indeed. Then consign creationism and other non-provable stuff to another discipline. Science is all a &#039;work in progress&#039; and as such, there is very little which can be declared an unfit theory, until we have the whole of the universe worked out in detail.</description>

		<description>hi :)
my friend found out about FSM and quickly became a Pastafarian,
then he continually talked about it, and a few more people converted, as i tried to resist Him.  but 2 nights ago, i converted to Pastafarianism :)!
I really think that this makes so much more sense than Christianity, (I was baptised at 6months old and brought up learning about God, so it&#039;s understandable that i cannot suddenly backstab God&#039;s existence as i have believed in God for 15, and in 6 months, it&#039;ll be 16 years)
I do however like the idea of FSM, like i said.  I only have 1 problem with the whole Pastafarianism.  Heaven.  I am a girl, as you can tell, and i think that it is unfair that the Heaven has a Beer Volcano and Stripper Factory, where is all the Heaven for females :( ?  I doubt that anyother girl will want to be considered a stripper, that&#039;s kinda sexist is it not?  can more please be added to the Heaven?  I know that it kinda sounds like being Politically Correct but i hope that this is an understandable statement :/ ?

please take it into consideration,

		<description>Wow. Ben at post 826 apparently has never heard of the concept that you can&#039;t prove, or disprove, a negative. How do different books on the same subject, by the same group of authors, prove or disprove anything? At one time, all the people of intelligence thought the earth was flat, and if you disagreed, well the Church might imprison and torture and kill you for that. So, if the Church was wrong about that, such a basic concept, then maybe it was wrong about other things, too. The same thing goes for Germ theory. Just because a lot of people think something is true, doesn&#039;t mean it is. Saying something over and over again will not change the factualness of an idea. And as NO ONE can positively prove or disprove the existence of God( or ANY God), all discussion is mere speculation. And when I say proof, I mean REAL PROOF, not just because someone tells me
&quot; Because I said so.&quot;

Also, as far as spell check goes, since all this is being done on a computer, not on papyrus with a goose quill pen, I would take more seriously the arguments of someone who could write the language he grew up speaking with a little more clarity and correctness. IE, LEARN HOW TO SPELL AND USE THE CORRECT WORDS IN A SENTENCE! THERE ARE THINGS CALLED HOMONYMS AND ANTONYMS, YOU KNOW!
 
So, as far as I&#039;m concerned,
 FUCK OFF AND DON&#039;T COME BACK UNTIL YOU CAN SPEAK (AND WRITE ) THE LANGUAGE!

Arguing with people like that is like battling wits with an infant.....</description>

PUll your head out of your ass, you self-righteous, ignorant fool.

&quot;The Bible has more ACCURATELY translated manuscripts than any other piece of written art on the planet. the old testament, of coarse in its different styles, has been proven authenticated and accurate. the pentateuch, or the first five books of the Bible, have been proven true by the dead sea scrolls. there ancient scrolls are direct copies from the hand written work of Moses himself, giving proof of his account to creation, great flood, and levitical law (given to him by God.)&quot;

Firstly, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was written in English, therefore, doesn&#039;t HAVE to be translated, and is FAR more accurate than any of your stupid manuscripts could possibly be.

Secondly, I can&#039;t trust nor take seriously anyone who doesn&#039;t use proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar. There is quite a difference between &quot;course&quot; and &quot;coarse.&quot; And something can&#039;t be &quot;proven authenticated,&quot; dumbass. &quot;Authenticated&quot; is a verb. Go back to fucking high school. Oh, and while you&#039;re at it, learn how to properly form complex statements, and capitalize the words at the beginning of the sentence. The word &quot;God&quot; isn&#039;t the only one that needs to have the Shift key pressed; otherwise, it&#039;d be called the God key.

And, I&#039;m terribly sorry to tell you this, but haven&#039;t you thought that maybe the Bible was written by men with political agendas? Haven&#039;t you ever wondered why there are different translations, and different books in some of them? Perhaps the Catholic Church was trying to manipulate your mind, and the things you thought, so they could rule mercilessly, completely undisputed. And honestly, nowadays, if anyone - ANYONE - came up to you and said, &quot;God told me to write this. He spoke to me last night,&quot; you&#039;d laugh your giant, sanctimonious ass off. True, maybe the Bible was *inspired* by God, but honestly, do you ever really have a great memory of the dreams you had the night before?

It&#039;s amazing how easily an argument like yours can be broken down, because of all the fallacies Religion poses, isn&#039;t it? I didn&#039;t even HAVE to analyze the rest of your long-winded speech. Religion is merely a tool that ignorant people hold onto so they can hope that maybe there is something bigger and better out there. Hon, I hate to break it to you, but there&#039;s nothing out there that isn&#039;t a complex-carbohydrate. Now, be a good boy, Ben, and go play in traffic.</description>

		<description>Wow... I can&#039;t believe I&#039;ve made it this far through life without being aware of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!  I am now at more peace than I have ever been before.  Thank FSM for this website!  
I did have a little comment to Ben who posted on Sep 8th.  I have to admit I only got through a few paragraphs of his message... it was a bit wordy and far too ignorant for my tastes.  However, I wanted to respond to what I saw as his (flawed) central argument... 

&quot;just as in logic, if A is true, then anything not A cannot be true. this automatically disproves your “religion.” 

Wow.  Just like that his whole post became irrelevant.  You see, let&#039;s say that &quot;A&quot; is &quot;the color yellow is in the rainbow.&quot;  According to him, then, in his infinite logic and wisdome, the statement &quot;Not the color yellow (uh, so orange, red, green, etc) is in the rainbow&quot; could not be true because it is &quot;not A&quot;.  Or if he means &quot;anything that is not A&quot;, then the following argument would fit: &quot;cats say meow&quot; being A would mean that &quot;cats are mammals&quot; couldn&#039;t be true because &quot;mammal&quot;  something that is &quot;not A&quot; (A=meow in this one).
Or if you said &quot;Billy is correct,&quot; then according to ben, &quot;not-Billy (maybe Paul, or Steve?)&quot; could by his logic not be correct.  Really, just replace the &quot;A&quot; (a variable) in his sentence with any statement, in both places, and find how many ways you can prove him wrong.
Brilliant, man... trying to use logic as the basis of your argument, but using a very basic flaw of logic... I love it!

Long live the Pastafarians and their happy, funloving and delicious way of life!</description>

This is great! I&#039;d heard about Pastafarianism for years and always wanted to check it out. Glad I finally got around to it. 

Also, let me apologize on behalf of my fellow christians who have been leaving hateful and frankly stupid comments on this page. I&#039;d like to take a moment to let all readers know that we&#039;re not all crazy or retarded, and that SOME of us didn&#039;t lose our sense of humor in the baptism jacuzzi thing.

The point is that regardless of your intentions or opinions (both of which you are completely entitled to), Pastafarianism has become a fun creative outlet for millions of people, and there is NOTHING wrong with having a good time.

Also, I&#039;m no prophet, but I feel comfortable saying that God does not hate you or anyone else, and that your beliefs on whether or not He can be offended so easily are right on. 

You have made a believer out of me, sir. I&#039;m sure God doesn&#039;t mind making room in my heart for His Immense Meatastic Orgasmicness the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

RAMEN, and tomato-basil blessings to you all.</description>
