The Flying Spaghetti Monster

Is it okay to kill in the name of God? Can ethics, morals and technology peacefully co-exist?

My irreverence?

Oh sir, you misunderstand me.

I am a sincere and faithful follower of the Great Almeaty.

:glp-worship: :fsm-float:

As a matter of fact, I was ordained by the ULC myself some 7-8 years ago and have been looking for a true path ever since. I believe this may be the one.

You know... with three normal people a person can create a congregation. Imagine the 'flock' two ministers could bring in.

UPDATE
I have successfully introduced the teaching and worship of His Noodly Goodness in one of my kids schools.

Just today my daughter brought home a very nice and intricately done peice of Macaroni art.

I watched the Medici series on PBS so I have a pretty good idea of how all that religous financing thing works, so we've got that covered.

I would say that it is about sciense vs. creationisum, which is not quite the same thing.

I get annoyed at creationists who go around saying that people who believe in evolution are atheists. I think they only do it to annoy non-atheist, believers in evolution. I think that it just shows how flimsey their faith is that it requires them to believe everything in the bible.

Although it seems the people who run the FSM site are atheists there are non-atheists who are also furious about creationists trying to get their sordid psudochristian(meaning the creationisum) ideas into the education system.

Well that's just plain illogical (for them to say it, not for you to be annoyed by it).

I agree with KOS, it is illogical to say that evolutionists are atheists. And yes, creationists (and by creationists, I assume you to mean the YEC types) are boneheaded. I don't think that they do it to annoy the more moderate theists (IDers), they do it because they feel that their faith calls them to do it. At the very least, faith (from a Christian's POV) requires one to believe despite the absence of proof. Believing in something despite proof to the contrary, however, takes faith an extra step further into, well, woo-wooism.

Both camps are equal moronic

Postby Animal » Mon Oct 03, 2005 7:45 pm

I've been letting this thread slide until now because, as an Ordained Minister In His Noodles, its beneath my notice. However...

Atheism is a !@#ed up philosophy and very UNscientific. Absence of Evididence does NOT mean Evididence of Absence. This is Junior Hight science, people.

Religionism (I just made that up. Coll, huh?) is a @#$ed philospophy and very UNscientific.

Both are merely the last refuge of those that are too insecure with themselves to say "I don't know". This is why Woo-Woos constantly run on and on about crap that they have no clue about. They WANT to know what's going but lack the inteligence to understand the background. They therefore make stuff up which they can easily understand.

How is this different than religion OR atheism?

To both I say, STFU, GBTW, and try to figure out how the puzzle works.

Are you addressing anyone in particular? Maybe I need to review the early history of this thread, but I haven't seen anyone claiming there is evididence (sometimes also called "evidence") for the correctness of atheism. I don't see anything in the last half dozen posts or so inconsistent with what you're saying, so I'm not sure to whom you're talking.

Well, I would say atheism is a religion.

How is it different? Well, if someone claimed there to be rock solid evidence in favor of his/her religion (including atheism when appropriate) when there is in fact no such evidence, then it wouldn't be different. Do all religious people (including atheists) do that?

BZZZZZT. You lose.

GBTW = "Get Back To Work"

I really thought that this kiddie phrase had made it into the mainstream like WTF. I will refrain from such abbreviations and contractions from now on. (This is gonna get real ugly, real fast.)

Mr. Stocking Protector,

My most recent post (other that this one) has nothing to do with anything. I'm just putting in my opinion on a random topic in the hopes of garnering the attention I was denied as a child. Reading the topics and posting something relavent takes far too long and is boring. Its much better to just spew out whatever comes to mind in whichever thread you happen to be looking at.

Judging by your posts, I see that we are two of a kind in our methodology.
