I went to the web site that was offered in my previous question. Thank you for the info. I am curious what doctrine (for lack of better words) do you base your morals and beliefs from? How do you judge the difference between right and wrong?? I ask this because Christians beliefs of right and wrong come from the Bible. But, if you do not believe the Bible, then what source do you use?? Outside of the fact that you believe the fsm created the world, what else do you believe the fsm has done for the world that would cause you to follow it?? These are questions that I could not find the answer to in the posting. I may have not looked in the right places though.
PLEASE NO BASHING OF OTHERS FOR THEIR BELIEFS OR RELIGION... Just the facts will suffice. Thank you.

Ah hon I hope you are kidding. No offense but they are kidding around....remember when they wanted to institute the learing of FSM in schools along with Christianity? Ah yeah they were trying to point out the ridiculousness of teaching creationism because they could make people teach their "religion" right along with it...

It's funny, but it's a joke with a point. The point being that all 'revealed" religions are dependent on the believer believing someone else when they say "thus saith the Lord" even though the guys who speak for the gods, gods that never show up when called to testify, never have any proof.
The Bible says we should control our sexual urges when our genetics say we shouldn't. It's a contradiction that makes less sense than an FSM who wants us to wear Pirate regalia, something which at least doesn't conflict with biology. So why should we believe a revelation to someone named Moses and not the originator of the FSM?

Societies had concepts of right and wrong well before Christianity, and well outside of the Middle East in pre-Christian times.

Don't listen to these infidels trying to tell you that it is all a joke. It is not a joke. That's what our holy book said they would say about us. Please respect out faith and don't undermine us with your belittling logic. The FSM created our world and will guide us by his noodly appendage to the beer volcanos and the stripper factories for all eternity. I love FSM... can't you love him too?

Read it all again, only substitute JC for FSM and you'll get it.

Did you hear that? That brief 'WOOSH' over your head?
That was irony.
Oh well, some have it, some don't...
