xxEternallyBluexx Julri I'm not an atheist and I think it's funny. I think you'd have to have absolutely no sense of humor not to. I don't find it funny neutral , but when it comes to religion I don't have much of a sense of humor. Now when it comes to manga or books or comics, that's a different story...Megatokyo, for instance, is hilarious. biggrin Of all animes...

xxEternallyBluexx To tell the truth, I don't like the FSM. It's a mockery of something that really means something to millions of people neutral . At the same time it kinda reminds me of Dadaism: http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/aesthetics/bldef_dada.htm , and I expect it'll have the same impact. But I suppose I'm being a party pooper sweatdrop . Go back to your monster.
Think, the FSM is a higher being than humans that you can not see or detect.
If you can't say he DOESN'T exist, than how can you deny it?
That is the true power of words. XD

The FSM is a beautiful tool for making our points. The burden of proof is on those who believe things, not on those who question them. In other words, I don't need to show you how there isn't a god, you need to show me how there is. That is the basis of the scientific method, rational inquiry. After all, how would we advance technologically if we never asked questions?
The FSM is also great for it's original purpose, showing how ridiculous it is to teach creation myths in school as a legitimate theory. If you are going to teach that this god created the world out of nothing than you have to give full standing to the other religion's creation stories as well. The are just as legitimate "theories" as well. Besides, under the first amendment, trying to teach creation in schools is unconstitutional because of the establishment clause.

Hehe, Pastafarianism (It's probably spelled wrong, but I tried ^^')
I first learned about in eight grade when my friend brought in a book for me to read about it.

I think it was intended to be pure sass at first, but it's evolved into more of a harmless internet sensation. Well, harmless until people get carried away, but it's sort of hard to make a glob of pasta malicious since so few people are going to take it seriously. Whatever. R'AMEN.

Hahaha, I love the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Though I personally don't see it so much as a mockery then it is a statement.
FSM personally reminds me of the Russell's Teapot theory.
Essentially, Russell's Teapot theory is that there is a teapot revolving around the Sun somewhere in the space between the Earth and Mars, and that you cannot disprove it because there is no proof that it does or does not exist.
I figure that is how it is with most Pastafarians, though I'm sure that some people do take it very seriously.

I love the Flying Spaghetti Monster! He was declared the classroom deity of my art class until my Christian friend declared that pasta had nothing do with art and thus our classroom deity made no sense.
So my Christian friend folded a paper crane and holding it in the air declared PaperCrane to be our new classroom deity. She was dubbed high priestess because apparently she was the only one who could fold a paper crane, and the other priestly peoples ended being a Wiccan, a Mormon, an agnostic, and me. We "sacrificed" a freshman to his paperyness along with several origami animals. And by the time I graduated the entire creative wing (so like art and band and creative writing ect.) had come to support PaperCrane-y-ism and had a little paper crane sitting on their teacher's desk. It was awesome.
Anyways, that was all in good fun and it kind of provided a means of inter-religion good-will wishing at my school so we all loved it. And I'm pretty sure that PaperCrane is still the deity of the arts over there and the Flying Spaghetti Monster is still in his position of cafeteria deity where we moved him. So, yes, I adore the Flying Spaghetti Monster. smile

What do you mean pasta's got nothing to do with art?! Haven't you ever made a macaroni mosaic or a pasta necklace?

CalledTheRaven What do you mean pasta's got nothing to do with art?! Haven't you ever made a macaroni mosaic or a pasta necklace? Sadly I haven't. But I think pasta has more to do with food, so you know cafeteria deity was a little more fitting?

FSM is a tongue-in-cheek response to theism and tax-exempt churches. Because they have a church, followers and doctrines, they are technically tax exempt from the government now. I find the whole thing hilarious. Of course, some will find it rude as it makes a jest of Christianity more than any other religious group ("RAmen" and "May the FSM bless you with his noodley appendage" for example), but it depends on your sensitivity to such humor is. One of my Christian friends knitted me a FSM hat, and it's frickin' awesome. The One True God

i think it has become a tired and overworked meme for those who prefer an eyeroll to any serious discussion.
