Jesus is son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

[Jo Freddie]

In August 2005, in response to a challenge from a reader, Boing Boing announced a $250,000 prize—later raised to $1,000,000 payable to any individual who could produce empirical evidence proving that Jesus is not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was modelled after a similar challenge issued by young-Earth creationist Kent Hovind, who promised $250,000 to anyone who can prove evolution "is the only possible way" that the Universe and life arose.

This prize is still unclaimed after 5 years.

That's pretty epic. I wonder why no one is willing to prove it false? I mean, besides for the money.

Head's up, here comes scripture from the bible nazi's to back up their claims using a man written book.

You're treading on some pretty thin ice here with us (and you're already drowning with God).

Why? All I did was point a competition prize that has gone unclaimed for 5 years.

Your book says Jesus is the son of God.
Your book does not say who God is.
My book says God is The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The theory that Jesus is the son of The Flying Spaghetti Monster does not conflict with either book.

It conflicts with my personal view of things, but not with either scripture.

Re: Jesus is son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Nobody has taken them up on it because it is patently absurd. The Holy Bible tells us that Jesus is God's only Begotten Son.

Luke 2
2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. BOM: Alma 13:22
2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men

Yes, we can see that your book states the Jesus is the son of God, I am not disputing that your book says that. But as I said....

Your book says Jesus is the son of God.
Your book does not say who God is.
My book says God is The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

It conflicts with my personal view of things, but not with either scripture.

Re: Jesus is son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

I'm a proud atheist, but the "Flying Spaghetti Monster"? Yawn.
Surely I can't be the only one who is bored with all the "noodly appendage" nonsense?

[Callisto]

Re: Jesus is son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Oh, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster was created in 2005 by Bobby Henderson, so even if Jesus existed (and I'm not convinced that's the case), he wouldn't have been its son.

Give me my million bucks, please!

Does Pastafarianism Pre-Date Bobby Henderson?
Yes it does

You believe in a God yes I accept that, but there is nothing in your kjv1611 to show that He is not the Flying Spaghetti Monster, in fact the is nothing in your collected fairy tale to say WHO your God is.

Have a long sleep the good people of landover have been at it for almost 400 years and I don't expect them to stop any time soon dispute the help people give them to give up their addiction, and while their and other follow their holy book and argue that their "God" is the one true god I will do the same with my Holy book and The One True God.

Poor state LBC must be in if it is hoping that a monkey worshipper is going to put me off, really Zekie Boy are things getting THAT desperate?

Oh and it is still the case that:-

Your book says Jesus is the son of God.
Your book does not say who God is.
My book says God is The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The theory that Jesus is the son of The Flying Spaghetti Monster does not conflict with either book.
