The Flying Spaghetti Monster
« on: February 03, 2009, 08:07:46 PM »
Hmmm... just started reading some thoughts on this...

Heard about this rebuttal a few years ago but never really looked into it.  I guess I never looked into it because it sounds too silly to even bother with.  Sounded like a child crying for it's soother.

From a quick reading this seems like a desperate cry to not ALLOW certain thoughts or ideas into a child's learning.. or even an adults even.

Sounds like some people need a soother to me.. and they will continue to cry cause I won't give them one.

Interesting.

Spagnostics, Pastafarions and meatballs?  Built upon the foundation of the Tea-cup and Pink-Unicorn Idea?

C'mon now.  This is getting comedic.

The history of Christianity is there for all to read.  But Christianities history begins with Jews and can be read in the record called the NT.  Only thing is that this Christianity was established by Jews of the first century... they followed whom was the foretold Christ/Messiah.

Since this Christianity was originated by certian Jews of the first century.. then they must have looked upon their own scriptures/writings (called the OT).

I think that the OT and NT writings are becoming more and more established in it's history, geology, etc.  This is expected.

So... why should I even consider the silly thought of a spaghetti monsters with its meatballs?

I don't.  It's something I eat and happens to be one of my favourite meals.

Now that IS something real I can chew on.  :)

Yea, they're not as clever as they think, are they?

Rehashings of all the same old ideas.  I hear Dawkins digs the flying spag monster.  He would.

Would it be correct to say that if the FSM, IPU, etc, has all the same attributes as God, then nothing has been accomplished other than changing "God" to "FSM", "IPU", or whatever analogy is used? It seems to me to not even be an argument, just ridicule, and as such I fail to see why some atheists are fond of it.

The FSM was intelligently designed to be over your head, Apollos.  ;)  The whole point is that the FSM is indistinguishable from God, only it is much more fun than God.  Unlike the Christian God, the FSM is more delicious when drenched in spaghetti sauce.

One thing to consider is that The CG allows for a resurrection for mankind.  That is just way to saucy for you to accept of course.  The sauce you allow or accept is nothing but dirt.. for the dirt is where we will go and that is the end of the story as you accept it and see it.

I prefer a sauce that I can enjoy and something that is worth substance and allows for life. 

I totally understand why you reject such a thought but many great minds have accepted it.. and the flip coin is that many other great minds rejected it.  As Jesus said.. his sauce (living waters) is free for all.  Sounds too saucy I know.  hehe.

The FSM/IPU is an argument to show that any non-falsifiable entity can take the place of your god.

Sadly kid, Christianity is based on a Bible that blatantly admits to God's falsifiability - 1Cor 15:12-19.

Sadly most who invoke the FSM/IPU line show to only be condescending out of ignorance to what they're rejecting.

Circular reasoning! and there was I thinking you were good at philosophy.  The Bible is of no use as evidence for all the contradictions in it.

Sadly most who invoke the FSM/IPU line show to only be condescending out of ignorance to what they're rejecting.

I have used the IPU line to point out the paucity of the god argument in explaining things, but without being condescending.  the two terms IPU and god are interchangeable in any argument about thelogy and it makes just as much sense.  The sooner people "get" that idea, the sooner they will comprehend the other POV (even if they disagree with it).
