I think the fact that the FSM was created by someone who freely admits he invented the idea gives the statement that the FSM is not the real creator of the unvierse a true one.
It merely illustrates the question I and others direct at those who believe in the Judeo-Christian God, which is based on the writings of Moses who says God created Adam and Eve in the Garden.
I say how do we know that the story of the FSM being a man made invention to illustrate a point isn't the same with Moses and his God in the Garden of Eden, how can we be sure that this wasn't Moses doing the equivalent of a website in his day and just saying he talked to God but that it might be that he in fact did not, just as we know the originator of the FSM did not talk to the FSM.
Is my point valid or not?

A flying Spaghetti would never have survived. All we Italians would have eaten it before it got off the ground.
I ask you this.
Aside from combining resources already in existence on Earth, and/or discovering what is already here, can you or anyone name one thing, one, that is new? So what new thing has mankind ever "created"? Key word, "created".
I can only say, arts. Paintings, music, acting.
You may think of some others if you think very hard, but don't give me chemicals, metals, medicines, etc, that either have been discovered or combined.
Hmmm, even music may have come from the beautiful songs of birds.
As for the parables of creation, you and many choose not to believe it. Do you think anyone would have been more inclined to believe any other explanation, even though it may have been/is the truth? Do we know that evolution is the truth?
Methinks it's a choice. We all have to make choices. Yours is to be respected as well as mine.
I wonder sometimes if mankind has progressed, or is regressing.
Ya think?

I do think that you have a valid point.
What made Moses so trustworthy that an entire religion was based upon his word that God spoke to him? Yes he may have done good things but does that mean that God instructed him to do so? I do good deeds in my life because I want to, not because someone tells me to.
Who's to say Noah and Moses were credible in their word? Christians will say that it's about having faith and trust, etc. but Moses was a MAN. Being a man, Moses was just as fallible as anyone else.

The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying...it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.

I think you have a valid point. Most do not see the connection because they think it is just a silly, make-believe story. But I for one view the bible and story of god the same way I view the FSM story. They are both enjoyable and very imaginative stories, but they are both also just that, stories.

The FSM cannot exist without a decent flying tomato sauce to go with. It is impossible for a flying tomato sauce to exist before the existance of tomatoes which could not exist themselves until the universe was created.....nevermind - Its nearing lunchtime and for some reason I have a hankering for pasta.

NOpe, things happened in Moses time that he could not have made up on his own but had to have God doing it.
