The flying meatball god

[andythegill]

Now I have no faith in the worlds intelligence anymore, if this isnt a joke I swear im going to create the underworld coke lord.
Flying Spaghetti Monster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

please tell me this is a joke and not something more unbelievable than a flying pig that shoots bacon from its eyes.

You not seen that on South Park a long time ago?

[andythegill]

No I didnt.

South Park X: Season 10

In the 'Go God Go' Part 2 episode.

Some people have no sense of humour.

How could anyone not love to be a Pirate.

And again, how could you not like the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Seriously, it's their opinion, but I think it's just wrong to make a mockery of religion. Damn pastafarians treat it like it's a real religion!!! I have several of them in my school who think just because they follow a flying plate of pasta they should be taken into consideration as "religious people". It just sickens me!

[andythegill]

pastafarians are real!?!? my god they must be wrong in the head, and yes I am trying to be offensive ITS FLYING PASTA PEOPLE COME ON.

as I have told you before, the point behind pastafarianism is that it is a satirical take on the claims made my major religions that their beliefs are true just because they say they are...
and who are you or I or anyone else to make judgements on what is or what is not a "real" religion?
a world in which we are told what we are allowed to think and believe and what faiths are real and which should be banned is not a democratic one or any place I would wish to live
I don't imagine that you would be much impressed if you were informed that your beliefs were "sickening" to others

there is no need to try to be offensive
you may feel someone's beliefs are ridiculous, but there are those who could say the same of countless other major religions and for some people the only difference between worshipping a golden cow or a beam of light or a spaghetti monster is that one is accepted and one is not
there is no need to mock people's belief systems, whether it is meant as a religious belief or a socio-political statement, outright attempts at offense and mockery are just uncalled for.

Like Hex said, it's pretty much just a statement. Pigs shooting bacon from their eyes however, are very real:

Warning, this is a spoiler!

Warning, this is a spoiler!

It is a mockery, as Hex said, mostly of the whole crazy idea of "creationism" and "intelligent design". One of the major points is that whoever created the life on earth must've done so via "unintelligent design" seeing how much suffering and all that there is on earth. The FSM did it on a drunken bender.


You really only have to read the very first lines on Wikipedia to get the idea:

The The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is very much worth a look, as well.

Oh good they weren't serious but isn't that supposed to be blasphemy?

Not really. It's supposed to be clever satire/parody and it succeeds very well at that point if you ask me.

RAmen.

I for one think it's hilarious. I may convert as I age.

Well im strongly against religion in the fact that its a little far fetched to me and evolution has been basically proven. Yet I still thing religion was created the same was as this, some guy thought it would be a great idea to say something like "Well do you also believe some guy could get drunk on water that tastes like wine?" and they went along with it... just a theory. This time no offense.

[Gikoku Harakami]

I don't really buy into any religions out there, as alot of them don't make any logical sense, and have been proven as such. As with the whole belief that God created man 10,000 years ago, when it has been scientifically proven that man has been walking the Earth for well over 200,000 years. Most of which things that are from things like the Bible, seem like fairy tale to many (Such as Moses, the Devil, and the virgin mother Mary).

Some believe that those who blame God for the creation of everything, feel that they just don't want to go through all that extensive research to find the real truth, so they just quickly turn to the very simple solution of "God Did It", since there are people out there in this world who actually feel very offended that they're related to Monkeys & Apes.

Point being, I won't believe that everything that exists today was simply made from the snap of a finger by an invisible man, when physical data proves otherwise (Darwin Theory, which is now classified as fact in many places). But with that said, I have nothing against those who choose to believe in a powerful being that watches over them.
