In my own defense, I read your posts in their entirety and I never considered you to be a christian. Just a voice trying to preach tolerance. Or, at the very least, civility.

I don’t HATE anyone. Hate is far too strong an emotion to waste on people that have no real consequence in or on my life. I find the bile spewing religious types amusing at best and pitiful at worst.

So, carry on as you were. It takes all kinds.

Blah, blah, blah JESUS, blah, blah blah SAVIOR blah blah blah BALLS – I could write a script!

I don’t know why you think I, or any of us, care if Jeebus is your “savior”. You couldn’t come up with a punch line better than that. Pretty feeble.

I am curious, however. How can someone be your savior when you cannot even prove his existence? Faith and bible, not acceptable answers.

I was raised in the Midwest as a Lutheran and have believed in God all my life.
– And I was raised Pentecostal, believed in god until I was about 22, then gave up the delusion
.
I’ve also always believed in evolution all of my life.
– Congratulations.

I believe that Jesus lived and that he was the son of God, and I believe that everything in the Bible is true.
– Prove it. You cannot just come here and state what you believe without proof. There are no records of the man’s existence in Roman times. If you have another source, I would love for you to share.

Well, by ‘true’, I mean this –

It was written by real men who spoke the word of God. The events described in Genesis, of the creation of the Earth, are obviously not detailed accounts, but stories meant as analogies to true events.
Have you noticed how the length of “40 days” is repeated frequently throughout the Bible? That’s because these are NOT exact biographical stories, but rather parables that mirror real stories.
At least, this is what I believe.
– How can men write the word of an imaginary friend?

God did create the universe. Evolution itself is a miraculous process, and I can’t believe that it could exist without God.
– Why? There does not have to be a reason. Things sometimes just happen.

I don’t see why there’s any debate at all between evolution and religion. They aren’t mutually exclusive, but rather depend on each other.
– Perhaps not, but I find them to be mutually exclusive, mainly because anyone who doesn’t believe like you is wrong, and that is completely unscientific.

And frankly, the FSM offends me. You people – you monsters – are blindly mocking religion
– I am not blindly mocking anything. I mock PEOPLE (like you) who come here and call us names and give us shit for not “respecting” your beliefs. Well, guess what. I don’t have to respect a cause that has taken more lives and created more oppression throughout history than anything else on the planet. Frankly, you and your murderous god offend me. Guess we are even.

while ignoring the great things its capable of.
– Like… keeping all the money and creating your own country within another country and dressing in diamonds and gemstones? Perhaps you are referring to Christians and Muslims murdering each other because they believe differently in the same imaginary friend. How about the fact that Christians are murdering Christians for choosing to worship said imaginary friend in a different way. And FSM help you if you don’t believe in god at all!!! You shouldn’t be allowed to be a US citizen, hold office, or vote according to you tolerant non-judgmental Christians.

I don’t see how you can mock a book that encourages people to love one another and help strangers.
– The same book where god commands his followers to kill entire cities, rape women, kill children, offer your daughters in place of strangers (I guess that could be helpful to the strangers…), oh and he destroys the entire world and 2 cities himself. Yup. GREAT BOOK!!!

I know that there are extremists that take things the wrong way, but you have to look past them and see the right side of religion.
– Am I missing something? You must have A LOT of extremists in your religion. That is really hard to look past, especially when all these people do is threaten us with hell and bodily harm, and call us names. You may think we are monsters, but I find those who follow your god to be intolerant, bigots who would force the entire world to worship their god their way if they could. That, to me, is more monstrous than anything we could do here with a little satire and fighting for religious freedom so you can sit here and call us names.

You certainly are not “Forever loving, forever caring, forever striving for more views” as noted in a previous post of yours – calling us idiots is hardly loving and caring!

I have made no such statement so I would like to take issue here with exactly who is the idiot: I am not trying to “convince you to love one another” and I do not believe in “supernatural” events without at least some objective evidence (of which there is none).

I agree there are a number of people on this site who have problems with those who believe in an external, supernatural force – I am one for a start! It’s not so much that I hate people who are religious; for me it is more the effect that this unfounded belief can have on other people – the primary example being children who are forced to believe complete irrational rubbish because their parents were forced to believe complete irrational rubbish when they were children

If you have no wish to impose your extremely vague views on other people and you do not align with any other religious group what is your point here? Perhaps if you let us know what is was you saw we wouldn’t be so negative :-)

We’ve all thought about it for a long time, and we’ve come up with this religion that we’ll share for your approval. This must be a better idea, as you’ve requested:

CHRISTIANITY: the belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie will give you eternal life if you drink his blood and eat his flesh and telepathically tell him he’s your master, all because some rib women was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

See, we’ve done our work, and it’s so much more realistic. It’s even scientifically provable, but you undoubtedly already can show us how it’s done without mis-quoting the old Hebrew/Koine book that you can’t read.

…
Idiots.
Stuck in believing that I am some sort of Christian or one kind of Yahweh believer or other.
Just because I said I love you.
I don’t believe in any religion you would find organized anywhere.
If you had read my post you would have understood my point.
But obviously just because it was long, you assumed rambling just as you assumed that I was a Christian. Just as some of you assume that I am against your main idea.
I am all for the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It is a wonderful tool against intelligent design.
The only thing that I am against is the hate that you all seem to show against people just because they believe in something different than you. Just as the Christians or any religious person does.
So I pity you who hate the religious. I pity the religious who hate the non-religious. I pity all who hate anyone. And I will continue to stay here. Not for the frivolous reason that many have in converting people to a different religion, but to convince you to love one another. Just as I try to convince this hicks in Mississippi to try to love people in the LGBT community and accept them. You seem equally hateful, you just have a different object of hate.

I love this website, A new favorite. Reading the hate mail and even normal responses it does amaze me how many people really don’t understand what this site is about, its either: Immediate hate and discontent for a blasphemous new deity, or shock and unbelief that people actually believe there is a holy entity made of spaghetti and meatballs that is our lord and created everything. Listen people Learn to read more than a couple of lines of text before you jump to conclusions. I know thats how you scraped through high school but this is the real world were in

My dear we don’t hate you, not in the least. If anything, we pity you.

I see you as like a child, a child that still believes in Father Christmas or the Tooth Fairy…. That poor child will be devestated when it finds out the truth.

Anyway, for every ‘loving and caring’ religious person (As you claim to be) there is also a fanatic and a fraudster.

In case you didn’t guess, I am Anti-Religion. Not anti God, but anti Religion.
Too much EVIL has been committed in the name of Religion. A lot of religions are all worshipping the SAME GOD, they just fight each other over how to worship it.
MUSLIM – CHRISTIAN – CATHOLIC – JUDAISM All the same god. Just different prophets. I find religion all religion equally as funny as the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

As for God, well I will admit that its possible, but even as I type those words I feel the absurdity thjat anyone must feel who claims that there is a mythical alien being who for some reason takes an interest in a primitive bipedal species, and turned them into a primitve Barbaric bipedal species.
If God is real then he/it is something of a fool.

3975 – C. Jones

“Thou shalt not kill” is not such a wonderful commandment when it is placed in context. Some scholars would say that the command only means a jew should not kill another jew; killing peoples of other tribes is not included, along with killing within the law – stoning etc.

It always tickles me when people go on about this commandment (which is really just common sense if people want to live together in peace) as when Moses came down from the mountain with these wonderful commandments and found his people cavorting with their new gods he massacred 3000 of them (Exodus 32:25-29).

@ 3986 – Hay-Jay -,

Oh, I see, we have to look at the right side of religion. I guess that this means : The Crusades? The Inquisition? the extermination of Native Americans? Jihad? Northern Ireland? institutional rape and pedophilia? institutional misogyny? Is this what you mean?

Now, HJ, Physics student, as we’ve asked so many times before, it’s your turn to present the evidence that could be published in Physical Review Letters, that any of the mythology that you’ve cited exists, or has ever existed.

Perhaps if you were smart enough to read and follow the directions that were clearly given to you when you entered our site, you would have had your questions answered. After reading the Open Letter and the “About” tab material, you could have learned:

1) Our mission is the exclusion of religious mythology from the science curricula of public schools.

2) Our theology is a satire that neither depends on, nor is derivative of any other religion.

3) We insist that any school board that includes any religious mythology in their science curricula, must also include ours.

BTW don’t mis-quote the bible, or we’ll have to discuss it in Hebrew using Wellhausen’s Documentary Hypothesis.
