The flying meatball god

[Angel]

Actually, I do have a Blue Peter badge...I guess it's a sacred relic now, eh?

But...I...uh...no. I can't debunk that. Nuh-uh. It... all...makes sense! This day and onward, I am no longer Tsuyu, but Algernon Afodonius Cerelon of the Sharonian Church and will devote my life to spread the true word!

Now all I have to do is go around the forums, gathering enough of The Holy One's wisdom into a sacred volume....

Get to it, High Priest...there are many many beautiful women in it for you as a bonus for spreading my word amongst the ignorant peoples of this world...

I've got crayons, construction paper and some glitter - will that do for the first sacred volume?

Yeah id imagine so these days, people were selling them on Ebay a couple of years back.

[Tsuyu]

Of course, the beautiful maidens must be saved and lead onto thy holy path of enlightenment and salvation.

And uh... got some macaroni and glue? I think it could make the cover real purdy and nice.

[Angel]

I have four different types of pasta, poster paint and some Pritt Stick which smells nice

I got my BP badge when I was little - Caron Keating was presenting and you had to draw a dress for her. I won and totally rule with my badge

That just made my day, thanks Tsuyu.

Personally I prefer the Most Sacred and Holy Church of the International Antagonostic Association of Nerds, Siblings of Non-Survivors of Disease, and Similar Small, Angry People. Or, as it is more commonly known, MSaHCotIAAoNSoN-SoDaSSAP.

We might make less sense and sound kinda dumb, but at least we get the chance to say "**** God" and get away with it. It's our version of "Amen," I swear!

But I have to admit, I still love the Pastafarians, even if I still haven't figured out what. exactly, the Rastafarians are. I still need to look them up.

Rastafarians believe god and Jesus are black and smoke pot as a "religious" thing

... they don't believe Jesus is black...
they believe in a black Messiah, and that he is a reincarnation of Jesus or a rebirth of him, but he is not Jesus...

"**** God"? See, this is what I mean- no one gives a care in hell about religion any more and can't even respect it if nothing else. Honestly, I am like the only one who still follows God in my entire school, because people either believe in a fake-*** god and his "noodly appendage" or just plain don't care. So what, when we all die, we just go in a plot in the ground and that's all there is? That's all there is to life here? I'm serious, I feel very, very strongly about this, and it ****es me off that people can just blow religion all away like it's just some joke, like it's not the truth, but it is, even if you are all too blind to see that.

that is your belief and your opinion, but other people are entitled to their own as well...
just as you are entitled to believe in your god, other people are allowed to believe in another god, or higher power, or no god whatsoever...
flipping out and shoving your views down people's throats and referring to their own beliefs as "fake ***" and calling them "blind" does nothing to encourage discussion...
please try to respect everyone's views, not just those who agree with yours...
what would be the point in faith if nobody ever called that faith into question? challenges to your own faith can give you new reasons to affirm it to yourself, their reasons to believe differently, in countering them can give you new reasons to believe it even more strongly...
simply belittling people and telling them they're wrong end of discussion doesn't really get you anywhere and it's highly offensive

[Darg]

Fine, fine. Sorry if I offended anyone. Opinion-oriented threads can bring out the worst in people, so maybe it would be the best thing if you close it to avoid further conflict.

[Devalion]

I heard the crusades were very holy.

[Darg]

Er... yes... closage, please?

[Tsuyu]

Religion in general is so hypocritical... okay to bash down on everyone else, calling them "blind" and believing in "fake gods", yet if someone dares mock your "god" hell breaks loose.

Everyone should just worship their god, devil or clown in peace... or join the peaceful Pastafarians!

The Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts"

1. I'd really rather you didn't act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou *** when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don't believe in me, that's okay. Really, I'm not that vain. Besides, this isn't about them so don't change the subject.
2. I'd really rather you didn't use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don't require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.
3. I'd really rather you didn't judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, Okay? Oh, and get this into your thick heads: woman = person. man = person. Samey = Samey. One is not better than the other, unless we're talking about fashion and I'm sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuschia.
4. I'd really rather you didn't indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is go f*** yourself, unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.
5. I'd really rather you didn't challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the b*******.
6. I'd really rather you didn't build multi million-dollar churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick):
   1. Ending poverty
   2. Curing diseases
   3. Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable
      I might be a complex-carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I AM the creator.
7. I'd really rather you didn't go around telling people I talk to you. You're not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can't you take a hint?
8. I'd really rather you didn't do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into, um, stuff that uses a lot of leather/lubricant/Las Vegas. If the other person is into it, however (pursuant to #4), then have at it, take pictures, and for the love of Mike, wear a CONDOM! Honestly, it's a piece of rubber. If I didn't want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.

RAmen.

Okay, does anyone understand what I meant by my post after Hex's up there? I seriously think this thread needs to be closed before anyone says anything to get banned, okay?!
