Our Heaven is WAY better. It has a Stripper Factory AND a Beer Volcano." - Widgett, on 03/11/2008, -10/+101I have been touched by his noodly appendage!
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -12/+69Ironically, there is more evidence for the Flying Spaghetti Monster than Jesus.
Actually, one of the main reasons I denounced my Christian faith is because I can't find one single shred of evidence for the Jesus of the Bible. Not one artifact or eyewitness account. Not even in the Bible.
Amazingly, we have not one Jewish, Greek, or Roman writer, even those who lived in the Middle East, much less anywhere else on the earth, who ever mentions him during his supposed life time. This appears quite extraordinary, and you will find few Christian apologists who dare mention this embarrassing fact.
After confronting a few Church members with this new knowledge for lack of evidence, it became painfully obvious that these people seems to have NO interest whatsoever in scientific debate. It seems all they care about is re-affirming their superstitious beliefs of disturbing stories of hell and damnation and devils and eternal suffering and ramming them down the throats of unsuspecting children.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong about this. But so far I haven't been. - zimmbear, on 03/11/2008, -17/+67A hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
- displaced1, on 03/11/2008, -5/+45You guys here for the gangbang?
- dotlizard, on 03/11/2008, -4/+43back in the day before the FSM, we didn't have any of your fancy PDF pamphlets to hand out. yes, when i was your age, when the religious zealots used to show up i'd run and grab a mouse (we kept plenty on hand, they are a self-replenishing food source), open up the snake cage (right next to the front door) and beam at them, saying "oh, you're just in time for the live animal sacrifice!". ahh, the good old days.

- krahzee, on 03/11/2008, -9/+42I grew up in a raised ranch house. For those unfamiliar, think stairs 1/2 way up the front of the house so the front door is between 1st and second story.
Anyway, as was habit, my father used to come home with groceries, reach through the railing and knock for us to come out so he could pass them up, rather than run bag after bag up a few at a time.
Well about 2 days before Christmas one year my little brother head the familiar knock. Knowing my father was out he ran to the door to help. The day before we had bought him light up moose antlers (long story), in a dollar store, that blinked in sequence to and played the song jingle bells Trying to show he was a good sport about it he hit the button on them, threw them on and opened the door. Only it wasn't dad, but Jehovas' Witnesses. The first and only time I ever saw them give up without a word. - TwoDeuces, on 03/11/2008, -0/+24Maybe its a secret hidden message? Find all the missing letters and it spells out the secret code to enter the inner sanctum of the Church of FSM.
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -3/+27***** religion
- joshuabowers, on 03/11/2008, -3/+24Hey, you know the past 2000 years? The whole religious persecution of scientific progress, various witch hunts, crusades, jihads, televangelism? I think all of that qualifies as vastly more annoying than a few people calling *****.
- TEHxINTERWEBS, on 03/11/2008, -8/+27In Spaghetti Monster we trust.
- EpicSelekta, on 03/11/2008, -1/+18Answer the door naked. As long as your privates are behind the door, it's legal. Give em a bit of hip and it'll stick with them all day.
- Kyan, on 03/11/2008, -2/+19Maybe in 1,000 years there will be no proof of the FSM either. Then he will start gaining real popularity in Oklahoma.
- UglieJosh, on 03/11/2008, -0/+16You should have mentioned the bit about the snake before the part about the "replenishing food source".
For a moment, one could infer that you were eating mice. - BTConan, on 03/11/2008, -1/+16I wish it had been His noodly appendage that touched me :(
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -2/+16Christians love to bring up the names of Josephus Flavius, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, Suetonius and others as testimonies to Jesus’ life, however, they couldn't have been eye-witnesses to him simply because they didn't live in his calculated supposed lifetime.
How about historians who ~did~ live in that time? “Take, for example, the works of Philo Judaeus who's birth occurred in 20 B.C.E. and died 50 C.E. He lived as the greatest Jewish-Hellenistic philosopher and historian of the time and lived in the area of Jerusalem during the alleged life of Jesus. He wrote detailed accounts of the Jewish events that occurred in the surrounding area. Yet not once, in all of his volumes of writings, do we read a single account of a Jesus "the Christ." Nor do we find any mention of Jesus in Seneca's (4? B.C.E. - 65 C.E.) writings, nor from the historian Pliny the Elder (23? - 79 C.E.).
If, indeed, such a well-known Jesus existed, as the gospels allege, does any reader here think it reasonable that, at the very least, the fame of Jesus would not have reached the ears of one of these men?
ANY local university historian for the evidence indicating jesus was anything other than a manufactured martyr of the late 1st century CE.
He/she will tell you that no such evidence of a "historical" jesus exists. His existence MUST be taken on faith, just like those who believe in Zeus, the Flying Spaghetti Monster and/or many other mythical characters. - Conseal, on 03/11/2008, -2/+16Okey.. So now you're saying: "If it's so old that the source of origin is unknown, it's real."
See where people with a rational mind might have a problem with that? It dosn't make sense! - Sabazou, on 03/11/2008, -1/+15Some typos mar the overall quality of the brochure
- MagnumVP, on 03/11/2008, -7/+20Then when they tell me, "That isn't a real religion." I'll just point them to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL7FcvEydqg Then tell them, here is my video proof that my God exist. Where is yours?
- hillkiwi, on 03/11/2008, -1/+13That sounds like a wager to me.
- harveywalbanger, on 03/11/2008, -2/+12124 diggs and it's already timing out... I wanna see!
- hillkiwi, on 03/11/2008, -6/+16I've already printed mine - I have Jehovah's witnesses that come to my door at 9am and ring the door bell REPEATEDLY until you come and answer it. This is a much better than my original plan, now I can put the shotgun away.
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -0/+10If one of your loved ones was on trial for a horrible crime and all the "evidence" the cops had was hearsay from what someone said someone else said, would you agree to 30 years hard labor or eternity in hellfire?
I'm sure I'll get an intellectual answer - uhohzombies, on 03/11/2008, -1/+11Why would it be illegal? You're in your own home and they are making unsolicited calls. Wag your junk at them and I'm sure they won't come back next week.
- Dundasbro, on 03/11/2008, -1/+10Am I the only person who read that as "When Religous Zealots Show Up at Your Door, Show Them *****!"? I think that would be more effective at anti-conversion, personally.
- belebih, on 03/11/2008, -1/+10If you actually think that all arguments against the existence of god derive from Dawkins, then you're the one that needs to do some reading.
- ReidFleming, on 03/11/2008, -5/+14Dugg but the typo 'Nitorgen-14' in the first PDF is annoying me. Do you think they'll re-do it just for a loyal follower? Unless that's not a typo and I'm an idiot (possible).
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -1/+10I once answered the door to some evangelists and they left after 10 seconds of babbling, I was still half asleep with my hair all messy, when I looked in the mirror I laughed...for had devil horns
- khoa1708, on 03/11/2008, -2/+11i use firebats to kill zealots
- wheresjim, on 03/11/2008, -2/+11I've found an engraved sign that reads "Occupant reserves the right to answer the door nude" keeps away Jehovas Witnesses, Girl Scouts selling cookies, annoying schoolkids selling magazine subscriptions, all sorts of annoying people.
- edwartica, on 03/11/2008, -2/+11Obligatory "That's what she said."
- lolinyerface, on 03/11/2008, -0/+9I thought that read Bacon factory and Stripper Volcano. Too Early.
- DrMonkeyLove, on 03/11/2008, -5/+14What's contradictory about it? He chooses not to believe in something for which there is no evidence. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. I think it is a bigger quandary to have a belief system that has no evidence to support it in reality. All of my beliefs certainly have a foundation in evidence. If you're willing to believe one thing without evidence, then you should believe anything without evidence. That said, all hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster!!!
- Fordi, on 03/11/2008, -0/+9It would take too much prep; to do it convincingly, you have to answer the door in full pirate dress.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking that on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I'm going to throw on the regalia and go all Jehova's Witness on my neighborhood. - 7stitches, on 03/11/2008, -0/+8i hate to break it to you, but swearing or talking about sex is not a bad thing, burning them at the stake because their beliefs are different than yours is.
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -0/+8-------People are actually digging someone who has dildo in their username?----------
I'll wear my fancy garb for you next time... - salmonmoose, on 03/11/2008, -2/+10I nominate the people who wrote the bible - its even easier with the new testament, because they just named it after themselves.
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -0/+8Your jealous because your username has no "dildo" reference in it?
- inspecality, on 03/11/2008, -0/+8Just tell them to give you one reason their God is real that also couldn't be used to prove the FSM is real.
- russ3, on 03/11/2008, -0/+8Which is why you should always be in pirate costume, waiting.....
- BJLStorm, on 03/11/2008, -2/+9Digg effect destroys everything.
- EpicSelekta, on 03/11/2008, -3/+10Or you could answer the door naked and insist that they come in. They will never return.
- cosinezero, on 03/11/2008, -0/+7Scientology started on less.
- IllBeBack, on 03/11/2008, -0/+7Do you live in Utah? I used to live there about 15 years ago and was asked the same thing at least weekly.
- Fordi, on 03/11/2008, -1/+8Oh, man. I thought the 'banana proof' was a joke, but that's supposed to be serious, isn't it?
- SHv2, on 03/11/2008, -5/+12Depending on how I'm sometimes partial to raptor jesus
- EXTER, on 03/11/2008, -1/+8There is also a typo in the second PDF. In one on the titles it says "Fying Spaghetti Monster" ( the 'l' is missing "Flying").
- nullifidian0, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6It did, and it's called scientology.
- Pulch, on 03/11/2008, -0/+6I will pray to Jesus for a week, and see if my life changes in the slightest. You pray true to the FSM, and see if it works any different than praying to Jesus. I believed in Jesus whole heartedly as a child, and prayed every week. I don't feel my morality has changed since I started questioning faith with reason. I can honestly say that I've prayed and believed it, whereas I would highly doubt you could pray to the FSM without still believing in Jesus. I accept your challenge sir!
