Re: Friendly Pastafarian

Hello Mr. Blunder,

I really don't want to debate which religion is "right" but this is a very interesting question. Us Pastafarians don't believe that Heaven and Hell are like you believe them to be and we don't believe that accepting Jesus Christ is the way to get to Heaven. In fact sometimes when I talk to other Pastafarians a similar question comes up. "Why don't Christians accept his Noodliness thus guaranteeing them a place in Pastafarian Heaven?" We always come to the conclusion that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and if a Christian wants to believe in Jesus Christ only his Noodliness (our God) can tell them that they should believe differently.

That's handy because there is no debate. Our God is the right one and yours was made up to piss creationists off.

This is not true as we believe in creationism. We just want our theories to be taught along side Christian theories. Our religion was not made up. We believe that his Noodliness created the Gospel (our holy book) when he created the Universe.

Of course it was, and as recently as 2005. It is specifically used to mock God in general, and Christians in particular.

That you are unaware of this is pretty remarkable.

I'm sure the subtext of piratical homo-eroticism has not escaped you, though.

Yours in Christ (NOT CHEF BOYARDEE),

We believe that his Noodliness makes everyone think that Pastafarianism was made up to test our faith in him. This is similar to how he makes scientists think the world is billions of years old when we believe it is only 5,000 years old. His Noodliness does everything to make it seem impossible for him to exist in order to test our faith.

Re: Friendly Pastafarian

Surely something we can all relate to is having our faith tested. I know I am tested everyday especially when people tell me that my religion isn't real. I'm sure you have experienced this from atheists as well. I do find it sad when people think that there is nothing greater than themselves. Seems too arrogant to me.

No. It's a joke.

Now, there are two possibilities for you:

A. You can admit that it is all a joke, and that you are here to spit in the face of Jesus, or...

B. You actually believe it.

If you select "A" you admit that you violated the Terms of Service for this site and you will be subject to banning. If you select "B" you are a dumbass.

So, which is it? Choose wisely, friend.

Ew. Who would want to eat 5,000 year old pasta?

I did not come here to put down anyone else's religion and I do truly believe in Pastafarianism. I guess that means I choose B. I don't understand why you feel the need to label someone with different beliefs than yourself a "dumbass" but that is your choice. I have read both the Bible and the Gospel and I decided to put my faith in his Noodliness. Have you read both?

Re: Friendly Pastafarian

Having free will is one thing, using it to spit in the face of our Saviour and mock others with the right beliefs is disgusting. You will be exposed to the eternal flames. You can either repent your sins now, and accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour - or you can regret not doing so whilst being burned in the eternal flames for all eternity.

Thank you for admitting to "B."



As far as the "gospel" of Chef Boyardee, of course I have not read it. I have not read ANY children's stories since I was a child.

(1 Corinthians 13:11) "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

This is just a ruse because the whole point of Pastafarianism is that no one actually believes in it. So, I have no choice but to question everything that you have written, especially the friendly part. Are you too friendly to actually defend your country against foreign invaders? Would you just give them the keys to your (mother's) house?

I never intended to spit in anyone's face. My apologies if you feel that I have done that. I also do not believe in "right" beliefs. I have my beliefs and you have yours, neither is "right." We are also entitled to the consequences of our beliefs. I may end up in eternal flames, but I don't believe that, and you may end up in Pastafarian Hell. Unfortunately there is no way to know which one.

I like how you guys have a pirate as a smiley. My Pastafarian forum has that too.

Then you are ignorant on the subject of Pastafarianism and I will be ignoring any future judgement you pass on my religion.

I think you would be surprised how many people truly believe in Pastafarianism. We are usually quiet about it because we generally like to avoid exchanges like the ones that have taken place in this thread. Personally I usually don't tell people about being a Pastafarianism until I have known them for months, sometimes years. I don't like having people tell me I am a "dumbass" or "idiot" or "lunatic" for having my beliefs, because they are MY beliefs and are just as valid as anyone else's beliefs.

I am friendly to everyone until they wrong me. If there were foreign invaders who intended to kill me or to take over my country I certainly would defend against them. I would not give the key's to my mothers house to anyone unless I knew them very well. That seems like an easy question to answer.

I haven't judged anything, friend. Jesus has:

(Matthew 24:4-5) "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."

So you are ashamed of your religion, and cannot defend it should anyone question it? Seems like a solid ground.
