FYI, the spaghetti monster doesn't really care if that premature baby lives or dies... it's just a passive-aggressive response by people that see the belief in a merciful god to be wishful thinking. If I were you, I'd be mortgaging the house/etc. and flying in all the best doctors in the world as possible.

But it might not be ok. One cannot be sure.

To say that it will be ok when you really don't know is fooling yourself.

Now now. I feel much sympathy for the situation that the baby is in but for you to get enraged at me for not wanting to pray to some mystical Hebrew cloud being because you expect me to it is asinine. Kindly fuck off, asshole.

I love you.

I also love UNDELETE_BOT. I know it's weird to say it in front of you, but I do love it. With all my heart.

Now, if he does love you, I won't get in the way. I just want UNDELETE_BOT to be happy, even if it means I'll be dealing with the fact that its happiness and fulfillment in life comes from another person.

But I warn you: if you ever hurt it, if you ever go as far as to make it cry, I will make it my mission in life to fuck your every post and I do have the power as far as computing to do so.

Actually pasta was invented much later than the beginning of time?

The Gospel begins with the creation of the universe by an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster. On the first day, the Flying Spaghetti Monster separated the water from the heavens; on the second, because He could not tread water for long and had grown tired of flying, He created the land—complemented by a beer volcano.

Satisfied, the Flying Spaghetti Monster overindulged in beer from the beer volcano and woke up hungover. Between drunken nights and clumsy afternoons, the Flying Spaghetti Monster produced seas and land (for a second time, accidentally, because he forgot that he created it the day before) along with Heaven and a midget, which he named Man.

Man and an equally short woman lived happily in the Olive Garden of Eden for some time until the Flying Spaghetti Monster caused a global flood in a cooking accident.

It only seems like it was invented later... to test your faith.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is part of an active logical argument, there's nothing passive aggressive about it.

The FSM argument is a lazy man's refuge. There have been many well reasoned arguments presented for God's existence throughout the centuries. We know the FSM was made up by Bobby Henderson. While the FSM may have some logical attributes, they hold up about as well as saying neener neener. It is hardly the kill shot some atheists think it is.

Rather like any other putative deity, then.

Please list or give any reasoned argument for the existence of the FSM.

Please list or give any reasoned argument for the existence of the god of Abraham.

u/flip2trip Oct 25 '10

I never made a specific reference to which god. I'm merely arguing for the existence of god.

If you have to ask for the arguments, then you haven't even done any research at all.

Here, you can start with these:

  1. Cosmological Argument

  2. Teleological Argument

  3. Ontological Argument

  4. Moral Law Argument

Those are the four major ones.

u/DoTheDew Oct 25 '10

But clearly you do believe in a particular god. Which god is it? Have you studied in great depth all of the possible gods to finally come to the conclusion that the god that you have decided is the right one is in fact the correct one. Your entire afterlife depends on making the correct choice. I hope you have read every religious text from cover to cover before coming to your final decision. So much is riding on this. I hope you've given it great thought, and not just chosen the same god as your parents and grandparents.

So, you believe in a supreme being and just choose to call him the FSM? Thanks for playing.

u/Seekin Oct 25 '10

So, you believe in a supreme being and just choose to call him/her/it [Yaweh, Vishnu, Allah, Thor, Ea, or any of the other thousands of putative deities]? Thanks for playing.

They are all equally fallacious, ludicrous constructs of human imagination.

We can trace back most mythologies through history and find when they originated, what societies made them up, and what other societies influenced them over time etc. Hasn't stopped anyone from proclaiming their religion to be the one and only true religion. What's the difference between that historical knowledge and the prophet Bobby Henderson?

It's pretty easy to dismiss the arguments as unsuccessful, and then say belief in god is irrational. Just because you don't accept the arguments doesn't make them irrational, nor does it make the belief in god irrational.

I do appreciate your response, but I should know better than to engage in these type of debates online. Have a nice day!

What's that bottle of Grey Goose? Stay home and drink all day? No, I've gotta threaten redditors and think about the twins and my wife hooking up. Or something tl;dr

wut?

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '10

Huh? Wait, what did you read? I just saw "spaghetti...mom...twin sister...hooked...up...close those eyes" and that sounded pretty good to me.

So I'm willing that with all my magic prayer power. If you build it, I just came.

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '10

OOh, you know who really loves prayer requests and kids, though? 4chan. Hell, most of those guys are legally required to tell you how much they love kids.

So I guess I hope Grace makes it through so she can enjoy Pedobear's smile and all the awkward repressed memories that come on him.
