flying spaghetti monster = work of satan

[rivendellrose]

Best amusement of the day: Reading hate mail sent to the Flying Spaghetti Monster site.



"Oh I guess the Bible is all made up too, right. In that case, make sure u don't let anyone get you a present this year!"

Well... yeah, that's kind of the point, actually.

Also, if I were a Christian, I'd be insulted by this person's apparent lack of distinction between Christianity and Santa Claus. Did their mommy help them draft this email, or has religious education really gone that far down the tubes?

"PASTAFARIAN?!? that doesn't even make sense!! why the hell would god be PASTA?!?

I love people who can't tell a joke from genuine statment of belief.

"Heck, your science has found the very places and even artifacts pertaining to the life of the Christ."

We've also found the places and, if I recall correctly, a few artifacts pertaining (supposedly) to the Trojan war, but that doesn't mean Zeus, Athena & Co. were really the acting force behind the conflict.

I do believe you are a fucking retard and I hope you burn in hell. Fuck you and the flying spaghetti monster. Postmodernism is a self defeating concept. Read Josh McDowell's book for a good overview of what life is truly about you dumbass humanist. You obviously think life is just a big damn joke.

So much for loving thy neighbor...

God is not a flying spaghetti monster because only a human could think up such a dumbass retarded idea like that.

And if horses had gods...

Intelligent Design is observable. It does not require faith, it requires the ability to understand what irreducible complexity is along with several other phenomena that has been discovered in Science. Evolution is a conjecture.

What a fascinating alternate universe this person must live in. I must make plans to vacation there sometime. And remember to bring my lovely tin-hat, so that I may fit in with the natives.

[...B]ut satan is working through you to mock THE ONE AND TRUE LIVING GOD. [...] i pray and hope that you take these verses of cripture to heart....you are yes a false prophet but you can be forgiven.

I wonder what 'cripture' is...?

Haha ... did you find this on Fark? Cause that's where I saw it, and I've been reading them and laughing all day at work.

The ignorance of some people really shouldn't amaze me anymore, but when it's all collected in one place for me like that ...

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did! Thank you ever-so-much for linking me to that thing, it's been a source of much joy on many a horribly boring workday.

It really is appalling, isn't it? Fortunately, it's also hilarious!

[reve-lucide.livejournal.com]

I am always amused when people just prove someone else's point the way most of these letters seem to do.

You know, if you really want to convince me to believe in something you believe in, try speaking intelligently about it, perhaps?

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

But... intellectual conversation and informed decision isn't what religion is based on! :O

I jest, of course... but only slightly.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

The Bloods tell me that Cripture is heresy. Dag, yo, West Side out.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that's exactly the response that I was looking for!

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

You know me--I live to please. (:

Ironically enough, I checked "Inside the Crips: Life Inside L.A.'s Most Notorious Gang" out today.

I just had to note. >_>

Also, icon love.

I was reading these yesterday. There's an amazing correlation between frothing-at-the-mouth-fundamentalist-Christianity and an inability to correctly use the English language.

Rabies?

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

It's so true. Although, to be fair, there's a correlation between frothing-at-the-mouth in pretty much any group and the inability to correctly use the English language. :P

To paraphrase Mal: "Angry hypocrites are so cute." I love the Flying Speghetti Monster - I actually saw a Flying Spaghetti Monster idol at a museum in FL - I'll have to post the picture at some point. I wonder how Pastafarians feel about idols...? My guess is that they're pretty chill in general.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Your icon is so cute!

Oh, wow - there's actually an idol? That's awesome! I've seen the little bumper-sticker guys, but never a full idol. That just rocks.

[coralia13.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I got a couple cute new Simon ones that I'm loving using.

Well, not an actual idol - it's just a hanging glass statue... But no one who knows about the FSM could possibly see it and think of anything else. I really have to post that picture!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Like a suncatcher or something? That sounds so cute! I hope you do post it!

[coralia13.livejournal.com]

For you? Anything.

[coralia13.livejournal.com]

(That link didn't work quite the way I wanted it to. But you get the point.)

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's beautiful! I've seen something like that before, around here - glasswork is one of our big arts here in Seattle, what with Chihuly and all. But yes... that really does look like the FSM, now that you mention it! ♥ Thanks so much for the link!!!

[coralia13.livejournal.com]

I think it actually was part of a Chihuly display at the museum. The thing is HUGE - that picture was taken from a second or third floor balcony, through a window, into the dining room of the place, which I suppose they have for fund-raisers and such.

You're welcome! I was so tickled when I saw it, so I'm glad to finally have someone to appreciate it with me.

Hey, have you ever read tea_and_snark's FF fic? I've been going through her LJ all afternoon and there's not a whole lot (that I found in the last 40 entries, anyway, although I should probably check her memories), but where there is is GORGEOUS. I know you've said you're not much in a Firefly place right now, but whenever you feel like some fic, you should check her out!

I love Fark!
Ok, just so you can prepare yourself, season 4 came in today.
I'll be picking it up tomorrow probably?
When would you like me to bring it up?

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Oh no! XD

Umm. When are you free?

[narsilion.livejournal.com]

Well, Odie and Punkin are getting married today, and I'm photographing the wedding, but I could potentially drop it off to you afterwards, (I think it would probably be around 6:00/6:30) or I think could bring them up tomorrow.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Odie and Punkin? Who... or maybe I should start with what are they?
