You might have heard about it. If you haven't, go Google it.


Thoughts?
Also, do you think it's offensive?
I'm actually more of an atheist then a christian, and though I believe in God on some days I'm not quite sure about Jesus.
I just find it interesting that God Limitations makes games as a form of white propaganda.
I'll probably move on to another site some time but for now, I'm here to stay.

It's just the atheist community's way of trolling, with protection of the government. In other words, being a popular vote smart @$$ ( pardon my french) once again, only the worst of it's kind gets noticed. Sorry for any generalizations if they offend you.

First of all, I just want to say that it's NOT a real religion. I don't know why, but people seem to think it is.

It's sad, that something like that has became a tool for 13 year-olds shouting "Y0ure G0d d035nt 3xist, hahahaha lolololol" over the internet. It's true, they are rather arrogant, but the worst they do is to keep people from learning about the origins and the theories that question the very basis of most religions, and that it's not a rant against religion or a some joke.

It started as a protest to a school board voting to teach ID along with evolution in science class, not in classes that normally teach religion. Now, while I believe that religion should be taught, I believe they should all be taught, even basic creationism, and all in a optional course, that is NOT mandatory to take.

Lastly, the pirate and the global warming thing is simply proving correlation does not imply causation.\

You know, I think Pastafarianism is actually improving the way people think about things. It forces religions to offer proof, rather then dogmatic beliefs.

I hope you don't take offense at this, just stating my beliefs, feel free to try to disprove them.

It wasn't always used to destroy religion, like you said... It was originally to silence bible thumping "Seth" types. Not like Hippiesmasher either, like the real hardcore ones that don't use common sense. However, it was perverted into a troll machine.

Well, I understand it as more of an.... I want to say attack, but that's too strong of a word.... more like a satire of Christianity/ Catholicism specifically.

Only thing is, if you're asking for proof, why not just seek it out? Take a short pilosophy course on God- cover Rene Descartes, Thomas Aquinas, Gottfried Leibniz, all the movers and shakers of that world who offered proof of his existence.

I would not say it is used as a satire of only Christianity/ Catholicism. In my opinion it is used as a tool to debunk creationism in general, regardless of it being Christian, Islamic, Hindu etc. The basic idea is to demonstrate that all or most of the creationist arguments used to support a specific deity could just as easily support a flying spaghetti monster.

That is my impression. But of course, on the internet everything is being used as everything, so there are probably lots of trolls using pastafarianism for lulz as well.

of course. Urban dictionary.com has several definitions of Christ being a cannibal zombie. Why? for the atheist lulz.

Well I guess the zombie part comes from him being alive even though he died, which I guess is basically the definition of a zombie. "A living dead". But I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the Bible about Jesus eating people. If anything it's the other way around (if I understand Catholicism correctly).

You nailed it.

The joke is actually that he's a zombie who eats souls instead of brains. Which I have to admit, even I laughed at.

I think it's funny how hard some of them flame us so hard even though we ignore them.

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is one book on religion I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I think I read it all in one sitting.

It, amongst others challenges religious people of all sorts to justify their beliefs by saying "you can see the flaw in this argument, so why don't you see the flaws in your own?"

the proofs of God are all bull though. You can look them up, but it doesn't take a lawyer to deconstruct the arguements and point out he flaws.

The question I have to pose to our local Pastafarian. Who would win in a fight: the FSM or the Invisible Pink Unicorn (Hallowed be her Holy Hooves)

Invisible Pink Unicorn! w00t!1

And I resent the use of "her" to describe The Unicorn. Clearly The Unicorn is beyond gender. (And also time, morality, causality and other inconveniences)

Actually, the proofs of the Unicorn as the Creator of All are so abundant that you would be a fool not to believe it. Look at the way all the galaxies swirl in a spiral motion they got from being touched by the swirly horn of The Unicorn. Look at the imbalance between matter and anti-matter, right-handed and left-handed people, it is all from the swirl of the horn of the Unicorn. I bet that when you pull the plug from your sink or bathtub, it makes a swirl. I dare you to take a look at that and then deny the existence of the Invisible Pink Unicorn!

(Thanx conradw, now you've got me all fired up ^o) )

Wait, though, does the unicorn have two horns, one that swirls one way and the other the next, because in australia, water swirls down the drain differently.
And wouldn't it make it a bicorn then?
COnfucius!
