will christians at least acknowledge the possability that the FSM could technically exist?

Question

of i course i am speaking of his noodlyness, the Flying spaghetti monster, so can you technically say that there is NO possable way he dosnt exist, if you say that he can, then you are acknowlaging that it IS POSSABLE your god dosnt exist, making you an agnostic..... you if you say no, that means you KNOW FOR A FACT that your god exists, which means you do not have faith.

right?

my ability to speel is irrelevent to the point

i would like to thank al 20+ of you for failing to show HOW im wrong.

his noodlyness is all-powerful, so he cannot co-exist with your god. either

1. fsm exists
2. your god exists
3. neither exists

you cannot deny that, therefor everything i said is true untill you guys can prove otherwize.

once again,my spelling is of no importance, just answer the question as if i speeled everything correctly if it makes you feel better.

there is ALWAYS the possability that we do not exist but are instead being projected ( like the matrix, but not nessessarily ) and that every thing that comprimises your mind is a halucination, that is proof that you cant prove gods existance.

Answer 1

I really wish there were more intelligent questions on this site. I am so tired of the obvious "stir the pot, I need some attention" posts.

Answer 2

Your question is oddly worded, and very confusing, but here goes:

1. If I am to take the FSM to be a living non-corporeal being, claiming to be a deity, appearing as flying spaghetti creature, then YES, I can accept the possibility of such an apparition. Since anything spiritual can show itself with any number of physical atributes to a physical being, we can accept that there could be a spirit-creature willing to show itself as a mass of intelligent, flying spaghetti. The actual form would not have to be an actual literal representation of it's literal being, just something it put together "for show".

2. I cannot for one minute imagine anybody finding such an apparition fearful, or awesome, or worshipful. I cannot imagine any human being looking at such a thing with any kind of respect! Assuming there is a spirit in this world appearing as a massive, flying, spaghetti-like creature, I can't imagine it gets ANY real respect. Who would? Now, really!

3. I accept the reality of the God's existence, and His creation of all sorts of sentient beings. Some of these beings are good (remain in their right place and function) and some are evil (leaving their rightful place and function, and deliberately at odds with their Creator). Since God would not appear as His own competition or enemy, the FSM would be the work/apparation of another sentient entity. Since that entity is (apparantly) competing with God for worship and respect, that entity (the FSM-creature) is EVIL by nature.

4. The FSM-creature is, therefore, a demon, if it exists at all. I can accept the existence of both God and demons, with no conflict.

5. Faith is not destroyed by, or opposed by, knowledge of certain facts. Faith is fulfilled by the realization of those facts. This can be likened to hope. While you hope for something you don't have, you look foreward to obtaining it. When that thing is recieved, hope is not destroyed, it comes to maturity. Faith, in like form, is not destroyed by confirming knowledge, it is brought to maturity.

Still wanna play?

Answer 3

I used to eat in a restaurant where the spaghetti flew every time you ordered it and it was a monster size proportion.... the waitress was old Russian with a thick accent and seemed to think it was good manners to drop the plate the last inch or so... but the food was very good, cheap and in huge (monster) portions.

Now as for God and Jesus existing I will defer to a Nobel prize winner rather than make my own argument.

"There is no incompatibility between science and religion... Science shows that God exists." - Prof. D. Barton, Nobel Prize Chemistry


and defer to a man that was an atheist and after discussions and debates with men such as J.R.R. Tolkein became one of the great Christian writers of the 20th century,

"Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it." - C.S. Lewis

I guess if people worshipped trees etc then you are free to worship pasta but pass the hot peppers and ground cheese!

Answer 4

So you are saying that the likely hood that the universe was a cosmic accident is only possible if the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists, but if it was a Universe created by an intelligent design then the Creator doesn't? Do I follow your logic closely enough?

Answer 5

Well... maybe it can be a creature god create who looks like a monster formed by spaghetti.

The bible says god creates the human beings, animals and plants but it don't say nothing about all the animals he create (there are not a list).

I don't thing the flying spaghetti monster exist but maybe it does (maybe).

Answer 6

The paschal's wager only applies to the investigation of His Noodlyness. Unfortunately, the non-pastafarian applies the Presumption of Atheism to His Noodlyness, and of course, ignorant savages they are, miss the point that we apply the Presumption of Atheism to their God.

Answer 7

That question made me dizzy.

I believe the FSM exists in the consciousness of all those who worship him. That doesn't mean I am acknowledging it is possible that "my God" doesn't exist. Verification comes only through experience. What is experienced in one's own consciousness exists (for them).

Rock on, Bronze One.

Answer 8

I believe the fsm exists. I just don't believe he's God. Faith means trusting and following Christ or God, not necessarily believing He exists. The devil believes He exists, but the devil doesn't have faith in Him.

Fads come and go. Every generation thinks it has discovered something new. Yet, they are simply reinacting the young lion fighting against the sentry lion of society.

Answer 10

Read these articles at the links in full and get back to me on this. If you prove you can read and comprehend them, we then could have an intelligent meaningful two way conversation about the topic of God/false gods/no god/yourself as god. Here's a sampling of someone who use to have an attitude like yours before he met the Spirit of Truth!

"..my own view of moral relativism did not permit a logical defense of the concept of evil."... "The Bible didn't make sense to me. But why did it make sense to others? What were they seeing that I didn't? Did they so desperately want there to be a God that they had deluded themselves into thinking that there was one?".."Was I arrogantly making my morality superior to that of the being who allegedly authored all of morality? Was I condemning the actions of an entire nation, which was trapped in a kill or be killed situation?" .."What I had to say about who Christ was, said more about me than it did about Him.

At this moment, I saw it. I saw what the truth of the Bible was! And I was humbled. More than humbled, I was broken. The truth wasn't about cud chewing bunnies or how much precipitation fell during Noah's flood. It was the truth about human nature and our efforts to rise above it! It was the truth about human spirit being led by divine spirit! It was the truth about each of us, imperfect in our love for one another, needing to be made complete by the perfect love of God! The truth was about how one man, without sin, had died for us so that we could live! The truth of the Bible was and is JESUS CHRIST!

The moment I was made aware of my despicable nature, I realized that Jesus had died for me. I never had recognized sin and, therefore, thought that Christ had died for nothing. But this man was able to see the horrible nature present in all of humanity and yet he had sacrificed himself to save us from ourselves. In a very real sense, my sinful nature had caused the death of an innocent man. I never believed in hell prior to this, but one of my first thoughts, after seeing how hellish a person that I was, was that I deserved to be in it....

I had been a fool. I had paraded around, thinking myself to be the sophisticate, oblivious to the trail of toilet paper clinging to my shoe. For the first time in my life, I became aware of my soul and how dirty it was when the light of Christ fell upon it. My accusing finger turned around and pointed right back at me. I sucked! Christianity wasn't what was wrong with the world! A lack of education wasn't what was wrong with the world! I was what was wrong with the world." http://www.atstracts.org/readarticle.php?id=156

Answer 11

If I believed it exists, when no evidence supports it, I could still believe in God on faith. You're assuming there's no evidence of God.
