if Christians can believe in an invisible all seeing being why do they laugh at the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Question

What is wrong with a beer volcano

You haven't answered my question. Both of these creatures have no evidence for them being around and have exactly the same chance of existing. So why not believe in the latter than the former it's more fun.

Answer 1

Because the FSM is RIDICULOUS! I know it's meant to show how ridiculous religion is, but they go too far, and I can't take that religion seriously enough to consider that it's just as ridiculous as a real religion.

Monkey Man, let me answer you more clearly, as ridiculous as we may find the concept of God, many people do not find it ridiculous. The FSM, however, is ridiculous to EVERY one! Including the people who created the religion and all who "follow" the religion, because NONE of the "believers" REALLY believes there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster in the sky. It is TOO ridiculous to be taken seriously. God might be ridiculous to us, but it's not ridiculous to every one, and it is taken seriously by every one who believes. God is the explanation of everything we don't understand, and provides hope when nothing material can. The FSM is a clump of NOODLES!

Christians can't believe in a Flying Spaghetti Monster because NO ONE -including it's "followers"- believes the FSM is actually real. It's 100% parody, and can't be taken seriously. Not even seriously enough to consider that God is just as ridiculous.

Answer 2

Probably because the Flying Spaghetti Monster was specifically created in order to be laughable. The laughability of the latter is not influenced by the belief in the former.

Answer 3

The great Transcendent Flying Spagetti Monster, the only true diety of the Pastafarians will forgive you all for such grundy and salfarious numinatings.
It is good to keep in mind that the nefarious oblong burnt & flaky Garlic Bread demon will do anything to plug the venerable FSMs beer volcano.
Lucky for us that the manifestations of the Mystic Manicotti have not forsaken us nor have we been left to froozle nakedly in the quasi-violent qwim!
I give thanks and all due praise to the Great FSM for His generous dispensation of the Altruistic Aldente and the most gracious advent of the amazing lore of the Languid Linguini of Love~
Praise the FSM. May all believe. May the Parmesan be with you ~

Answer 4

It's true that the FSM was created as a parody. It's true that the inventor of it admits that.

But that doesn't prove the FSM doesn't exist. What difference does the sincerity of the person who originated it make? The FSM could have been working through a nonbeliever to tell the world of himself. No one can prove that isn't the case.

Answer 5

God says in Romans 1:20
20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Answer 6

Because the FSM was CREATED to be laughed at.

I am only fulfilling His Noodly Purpose.

Answer 7

your retarded got didn't walk on water or come back from the dead either. anyway the FSM has a beer volcano in his heaven

Answer 8

To imply that the flying spaghetti monster can fly is to say that its bound by gravity, thus a creation of this world. My God, even though He came to Earth, is not a creation of this world. He created it. You can totally choose to believe in your false god, but mine has much more merit to His name. He's talked to people, done mighty works, changed lives, made existence... your monster hasn't done anything.

Answer 9

The FSM is an admitted parody by it's creators. It would be disrespectful to the spirit of parody to withold laughter.

Answer 10

The FSM is real.

I have been touched by his noodly appendages.

His sauce is on my tongue. My belly is full.


Pasta be with you. Ramen.
