   ”I don’t understand how anyone who has read the Bible and prayed to God and actually listened for His answers could not believe.”

   And I can’t understand why people doesn’t like math. Not a pretty world GLM…Still…I’m talking like a pirate this september 19th. Yay for the FSM..

   Why would you want a religion that you feel like you are deserving of its GOD’s love? That is messed up and sounds like a GOD I would not want. A true GOD would not make his people feel like they are not deserving!

   @GLM,
   .
   Could you give us all an example of what it means to “listen to god’s answers”? I think a lot of us were brought up trying and didn’t hear anything, maybe you could clarify. But don’t give me the answer that you see “signs” based on your prayers…I see “signs” that my fortune cookie is right but I certainly don’t worship it.

   MV,
   I don’t see how I could be deserving of God. He created this world (this big and beautiful place) for us humans to live in, he gave us food, water and everything we need to survive. How did I repay Him? by sinning and being disobedient. God had no reason to forgive me; but He did. And if that’s not enough! He even came into my heart and saved me so now I have eternal life in Him! That’s unbelievable to me that God (who has all things, He lives in the most amazing place and has the angels singing His praises)would even pay attention to me, let alone want me to come live with Him in heaven. I think it is sooo exciting! I’m not a very knowledgable person at all! I don’t know the Bible inside and out; there’s some things in the Bible I can’t explain and maybe no one can; but what the Bible says I believe because it is from God and He is the only One who was there at the beginning of the world.
   P.E.T.,
   When God ansers my prayers I don’t hear an actual voice speaking to me and I admit that sometimes I think maybe He’s not listening; but I believe He has heard all of my prayers. I’m still learning how to listen because it’s hard when you can’t hear Him like you would if you were talking to someone you could see and audibly hear. Sometimes God says yes to a prayer but may not give you what you want right then; because of His plan for you He may answer your prayer days, weeks, or even years later. I hear Him by reading the Bible and in things people say. I had been going through something for a long time and finally one night I told God that there was absolutely no one on the entire earth that could possibly know exactly how I felt (and I was dead serious), well a couple of days later He reconnected me with one of my friends that I hadn’t seen or talked to in a long time and, I kid you not, she had gone through the EXACT same thing. It was crazy! I think also He ansers by feelings too, when you pray because you are really stressed about something and then after prayer you feel a sense of peace or something happens that makes you feel more at ease.

   the sense of peace you are feeling after prayers is because you let things off your chest. it feels good no matter who you`re talking to..

   :)

   just a friendly thought.

   LONG LIVE HIS NOODLYNESS!

   ( i skated home from school and was real hungry this afternoon, turned on my tv, made some noodles and took a rip from the bong.)

   I can not be everywhere to prove that your God does not exist. I am busy at work and can not be everywhere to disprove Allah, or Buddah, or Vishnu, or the Rainbow Serpent, or etc. But why do I have to disprove your God? Don’t guests in our house have to disprove FSM first? Then we can talk.

   Oh, and the Christian Bible being the word of your God, claims the following:
   1. you MUST put to DEATH any of your children that:
   - hit you (Exodus 21:15 NAB), or
   - curse you (Leviticus 20:9 NLT) & (Proverbs 20:20 NAB),
   2. allow children to be put to DEATH for taunting (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB),
   3. Kill People Who Don’t Listen to Priests (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT),
   4. Kill Witches (Exodus 22:17 NAB),
   5. Kill Homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13 NAB),
   6. Kill Fortunetellers (Leviticus 20:27 NAB),
   7. Kill Nonbelievers (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
   8. Kill False Prophets (Zechariah 13:3 NAB),
   9. Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT),
   10. Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB),
   11. Kill Followers of Other Religions (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB),
   12. Kill the llasphemers (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT),
   13. Kill False Prophets (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT) & (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NLT),
   14. Kill Infidels and Gays (Romans 1:24-32 NLT),
   15. Kill People for Working on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT),
   16. Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle (Numbers 1:48-51 NLT),
   17. Kill Sons of Sinners (Isaiah 14:21 NAB),
   18. Kill men, women, children, infants (1 Samuel 15:2-3 NAB),
   19. Kill oxen, sheep, camels, and asses (1 Samuel 15:2-3 NAB),
   20. Kill Your Neighbors (Exodus 32:26-29 NLT),
   21. Kill the Family of Sinners (Joshua 7:19-26 Webster’s Bible),
   22. Kill rape victims (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB),
   23. Rape Female Captives (Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB)
   etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Awwwww look do I have to go on? I can if you like, hundreds more. Now really guys, can you explain some of this? Get back to me soon.

   We bless you, and will save you by converting your sins into cans of spaghetti (not worms) so that you can truly healed your sauce, and get your not-so intelligently designed house in order brothers.

   GLM,

   Thanks for responding…that’s more than most people do! If you want to believe that god answers your prayers at some point in the near or distant future, or he may not answer your prayers because he knows what’s best, or he may somewhat answer your prayers because he knows what’s best, you can do so, but it’s a logical fallacy: with this argument, god can’t lose! He’s going to respond or not respond and either way you explain it as being god. For instance, if my father was really sick and I prayed for god to heal him and my father got better, I would say, “God heard my prayers and answered them.” If my father didn’t get better and died, I would say, “It was his time and God took him.” It always works and god always wins.
   .
   Of course your life (and mine) are going to have ups and downs, things turn around and coincidences occur in strange ways. If your looking for a sign, you’ll find one! Again, the faith argument always wins because I can’t argue against what you think, but I can argue that what you think logically doesn’t make sense.
   .
   I’m going to pray that god fix the economic crisis in the U.S. right now. If the stock markets continue to crash, maybe god knows best and there will be a silver lining. I won’t worry because when the markets rebound (maybe years from now), god will have eventually answered my prayers! Yay, god wins again!

   Hahahah. I’ve gotta say, this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. And for all the christians who are going on about Hell, please, don’t take yourself so seriously. This is a JOKE people, a JOKE. I’m basically aethiest, though I was raised a Jew, and I tend to laugh at preachers. I’m sorry, but it’s true. People who so enthusiastically embrace enslavement and blind, unreasoned, unpoven faith make me laugh. I’m not saying everyone isn’t entitled to an opinion, by all means tell me I’m going to hell and that Jesus will not forgive me, but let it be known that i really don’t give a shit what you say.
   I traded my faith for reason at the age of 12 (This is a quote, I’m not the one who first said it) so I’ve had a while to learn to simply laugh.
   You give me cold hard evidence that I can’t dissaprove, and I’ll belive you. You shout at me about some old book a bunch of old men wrote in, and I will laugh. You tell me that if I ask some guy sitting on a throne in air for something, and It will happen in some weird and wonderful way, I will laugh.

   Christians are not evil, they are simply ignorant! Hugs, not hate people :p

   David Bell 506: This makes Pirates seem like the meek who, as we all know, shall inhert the Earth. Therefore, this is definitive proof that the FSM is FACT and pirates are merely his disciples. QED. I will not now allow anything to contradict my sincere belief as to do so will displease his Noodlyness.

    Truth is truth no matter where you are, or who you are. THE truth is same where you go. 2+2 will always equal 4. Truth is not invented but is discovered. Truth will always be, regardless if you believe it or not, or if it makes you comfortable. When it comes to our health,education, we want to know the truth. There are cases in which we are aware of the truth, but disagree with it, cuz it instructs us how to live. Gettin ready Skate on thin ice, in which it’s believed to be thick, but the Truth is that it is much thinner than it looks.

    The Truth Saves

    Would you believe something that’s not true, just because it makes you do what you wanna do?

    As a coreligious Mormon/Pastafarian/Zen Buddhist, I do not see why they should have to fight. Perhaps there’s some gray area where they can both exist?

    response to RAmen:

    I noticed u referenced mostly the Old Testament / old covenant…

    here is the new covenant:

    John 3
    You Must Be Born Again
    1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named(A) Nicodemus,(B) a ruler of the Jews. 2This man came to Jesus[a](C) by night and said to him,(D) “Rabbi,(E) we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do(F) unless God is with him.” 3Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is(G) born(H) again[b] he cannot(I) see the kingdom of God.” 4Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born(J) of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6(K) That which is born of the flesh is(L) flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.[c] 7(M) Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You[d] must be born(N) again.’ 8(O) The wind[e] blows(P) where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

    9Nicodemus said to him,(Q) “How can these things be?” 10Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel(R) and yet you do not understand these things? 11Truly, truly, I say to you,(S) we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you[f] do not receive our testimony. 12If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13(T) No one has(U) ascended into heaven except(V) he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.[g] 14And(W) as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man(X) be lifted up, 15that whoever believes(Y) in him(Z) may have eternal life.[h]
