It's right there in Scripture! How can people deny the Truth when it is right before them?

Wow, just wow. I can see where this is headed.

Wait, what id FSM? I really don't understand tis thread. Please help

The FSM is the creator of the Universe, He created the world as we know it, and touched many souls with His Noodly Appendage. There are many testimonials to His existence, and his presence in our lives is undeniable. After all, how could this entire Universe come to be without the interference of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? It's impossible. The Holy Cookbook very clearly states that the FSM purposely erased most of the evidence that He exists, yet he performs miracles every day, for the believers, and the non-believers. He really is great.
My life was horrible until I accepted the FSM into my life diet.

Notice the similarities between this thread and the other I gave the link to? Most Christians don't think that that thread is shoving their beliefs down others throats so if that's true they won't have a problem with this one.

i don't have a problem with you believing in the big Noodle :) sorry for my unawareness.

I want to say it now, so it goes on record:

If a mod closes this thread, they are denying us the very free speech that the other thread has obtained. Pastafarianism IS a religion, in fact, I just spelled it wrong, and my spell checker that I have for firefox just corrected it. Allow us to use this thread to talk about our experiences as pastafarians, and to share our stories with the non-believers.
After all, I wouldnt want to see a fellow cafe member burn in the Boiling Lake Of Noodles.

Of course, if I had any doubt I was wrong in my faith, how could I be doing this? It would be in complete vain. See where I'm coming from? Coming from compassion, and being greeted by hostility.

Of course, none of this really surprises me. The truth stings and hurts. =]

Let us open our cookbooks and pray together. Something basic for newcomers to the FSM...hmmm...OK, Italian Meatballs 3:12:


Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef
8-10 slices white bread, broken into small 1/2 inch pieces (or you can use rolls or any stale bread you have and want to use up)
2 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or to taste)
2 teaspoons parsley flakes (or to taste)
1/4-1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or Locatelli)
1-2 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions
1. Mix all ingredients gently in a large bowl until well combined.
2. Roll meatballs 1 1/2- 1 3/4" in diameter.
3. Heat about 1/4" of oil over medium heat in a large frying pan.
4. Fry meatballs in oil, rolling frequently, until evenly browned and juices run clear.
5. Drop meatballs in your favorite sauce and let simmer for awhile to flavor sauce or just serve with your favorite pasta and sauce.
6. Tip: You can also bake or broil these if the frying part is too much of a hassle-- I use my broiler pan if I bake them, so the fat drips down and away from the meatballs.

first of all it's not "the pasta man" its the FLying SPaghetti Monster,



The Eight “I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts”
I’d really rather you didn’t act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don’t believe in me, that’s okay. Really, I'm not that vain. Besides, this isn’t about them so don’t change the subject.
I’d really rather you didn’t use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don’t require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.
I’d really rather you didn’t judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, Okay? Oh, and get this into your thick heads: woman = person. man = person. Samey = Samey. One is not better than the other, unless we’re talking about fashion and I'm sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.
I’d really rather you didn’t indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is go **** yourself, unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.
I’d really rather you didn’t challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the *****es.
I’d really rather you didn’t build multi million-dollar synagogues/churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick):
Ending poverty
Curing diseases
Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable
I might be a complex-carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I AM the creator.
I’d really rather you didn’t go around telling people I talk to you. You’re not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can’t you take a hint?
I’d really rather you didn’t do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into, um, stuff that uses a lot of leather/lubricant/vaseline. If the other person is into it, however (pursuant to #4), then have at it, take pictures, and for the love of Mike, wear a CONDOM! Honestly, it’s a piece of rubber. If I didn’t want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.




as you can see we have no church, this is what we believe in, please don't disrespect it.

and you cant prove the existance of either one, so shut up and stop offending us.

tell me ONE THING that makes god any more real than the FSM.

What MAKES him? What makes the world round and not flat? What makes the sun so special to us, yet Alpha Centuri of no care? Why do Apple Jacks not taste like apples? I can't prove to you a thing, but what MAKES him real and the FSM not is the fact he just is. Pray to God, you'll get an answer. Pray to FSM, you're lucky for the grace of the LORD in this day, instead of before the sacrifice of his Lamb. You know the orgin of Pastafarianism? I'm honestly pretty sure ya'll do, and are simply attempting to insult Christians under the shadow of freedom of religion, and I'll respect that. But I will be quite blunt and say that it's not the truth, Oprah's new religion isn't the truth, Islam is not the truth, Hinduism is not the truth, nor Buddhism, nor Scientology (sp?), nor any other form of false religion. But truth exists only in Jesus Christ. And before you get me for hi-jacking ya'll's thread (which I've honestly enjoyed reading btw. Gotten some good laughs), look in Z's, which you hi-jacked MUCH sooner than anyone did this.

What MAKES him? What makes the world round and not flat? physics. What makes the sun so special to us, yet Alpha Centuri of no care? common sense, what the hell are we gonna find alpha centaury special for? Why do Apple Jacks not taste like apples? because they arent actual apples. I can't prove to you a thing, but what MAKES him real and the FSM not is the fact he just is. Pray to God, you'll get an answer. i tried that. Pray to FSM, you're lucky for the grace of the LORD in this day, instead of before the sacrifice of his Lamb. You know the orgin of Pastafarianism? i kinda do, its entertaining. I'm honestly pretty sure ya'll do, and are simply attempting to insult Christians under the shadow of freedom of religion, and I'll respect that. But I will be quite blunt and say that it's not the truth, Oprah's new religion isn't the truth, Islam is not the truth, Hinduism is not the truth, nor Buddhism, nor Scientology (sp?) hold on...

im not actually saying the fsm is real. im just showing you, your story is just as rediculous as ours is.

^ I can totally see the point of this thread now.

Where do you get off telling other people that there religon if "false"? I want to know how you know for a fact that god is real and the FSM is fake. Have you personally talked to god? If you say you have I call :icon_bs: Because if a mortal talks to god you self destruct or something weird along those lines. How do you know there is a hell and not a boiling lake of noodles. how do you know there is your heaven and not ours. You don't because you have never been to either your heaven or hell nor ours. it's pure faith, as is ours. You can't say ours is "fake: when yours has just as much chance as ours. As far as you know a bunch of stoners from 100 "A.D" wrote the bible as a joke.

pwnt.

I guess this should be said "every religion should be respected"

Just as Christianity is respected, even though there are some wierd theories...

FSM, should also be respected...

Neither one can exist, who knows...

I say, just live :icon_peac!

Where do I get off doing such? The very same way that Paul, Peter, John, Stephen, Phillip, and the other early believers did. Because God has given me the call to go and tell the world of the gospel. Acts 1:8 "And you shall receive power when the Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the Earth" Whether or not you believe it is up to you, but regardless of what you, the government, teachers, cops, or anyone else says, I'll speak (or in this case type) it. How do I know? Because I've experienced him. I've been filled with the Holy Ghost; baptized with fire! And before you say it was coincidence, read through Acts. It's pretty hard to miss and/or to call coincidence. It's not just through faith in the Bible that I believe, but because I've experienced him. Heck, if I hadn't experienced him, Razz would've probably converted me by now (quite a good debater he is :) ). Have I spoken to him personally? Sorta depends what you mean by personally. If you mean have a conversation with him, yes I have, and not just a one-way converse either. If you mean spoken to him face-to-face, no I haven't, but I will one day, when my mortal body is exchanged for one that is perfect and I can look upon his face. The whole mortal-to-God thing, you're thinking of the Jewish law of the temple. If anyone other than the priest entered into the presence of God in the Holy of Holies (the innermost part of the temple, where the Ark of the Covenant was held. It was blocked off from the inner court by a veil), he would die. And the preist could only enter one day a year, and must have sacrificed for his sins, wearing the very attire God gave through Moses, or he would die. True, by that law, I should die. I should have died this morning in church even. But, when Jesus died if you read, something very symbolic happened. As soon as he died, a great earthquake shook the world, and the veil tore. That symbolized that we can now go before the presence of God freely, for we have an intercessor in Jesus. And it's not "chance," because I know not just because of faith, but because I've experienced God, not just believed. I've everything but seen him, and one day I most definitely going to.

Where is the line drawn between claiming to be a believer and claiming to be a biblical figure? Methinks Izzy is straddling said line.

Its psychological. I could pray to a rock for whatever, I could worship the rock, and if I honestly believed that it would somehow solve my problems, then my problems would be solved.

The only reason you think that God is working in your life, is because you search for the results.

I guarantee that if someone convinced their kids that the FSM was the ruler of the universe, those kids would pray to the FSM, and they would feel the same effects that you are speaking of izzy.

You say you used to do hard drugs? Well, its good that you are off them, and I'm sure you used "God" to do that, but to be honest, If you would have heard things about the FSM all your life, instead of God, you'd get the exact same effect.

Where is the line drawn between claiming to be a believer and claiming to be a biblical figure? Methinks Izzy is straddling said line.

The Biblical figures of the New Testament were really no different than the believers today, accept they didn't except hypocrisy. But as far as that goes, the same Jesus who did stuff in those days, and worked in those days, will work for those who will "deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him," today. Jesus never changed, and neither did the truth. All that changed was the amount of hypocrisy accepted.

I didn't mean he solved my problems when I said I've experienced him. I meant what I said the sentence after that, describing in more detail. Baptism of fire. But, since you say the same effects, I'll go through the new testament and give you that.

Seeming intoxicated with no form of drug or action taken that would cause it (Acts 2)x
Speaking in unlearned languages (Acts 2)x
A supernatural boldness and ability to spread the gospel (Acts 2-4)x

Supernatural Knowledge (knowledge of an event that by the natural you should know nothing about) (1 Cor 12)x
Prophecy (1 Cor 12)
Supernatural Faith (1 Cor 12)x
Ability to cause somebody to be healed of a disease (1 Cor 12)
Ability to work the miraculous (1 Cor 12)
Ability to interpret an unknown language (1 Cor 12)

Every one I've personally experienced, I marked with an x. And no, I know for a fact they would not experience the same thing praying to FSM, because Jesus promised the Spirit only to those who believed. And when I asked God to come in, I wasn't looking for results at all. I thought drugs were fine. I thought porn was fine. I didn't know if my depression would leave. But at that instant, I was changed. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:23 to be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Jesus did that without me asking. He showed me that drugs and porn were most definitely wrong. Not through the Bible, but the second after I came to him, I knew they were wrong instinctively. Same with a lot of other stuff that night. I wasn't LOOKING for results. That same night I asked for the Holy Spirit. I didn't know at all even what to expect. I didn't know the Bible. The only verse I knew was John 3:16. But that night, I experienced the power of the Holy Spirit which God promised. It couldn't have been placebo, because I didn't know WHAT to expect. All I knew was that it was something important. And then God gave me my wish, and I found out. If I had known at all what to expect, I would agree with you that placebo would have been possible, but I didn't. That marks out that possibility. I just used one instance, but that's all that would apply on your count because after that I DID look for results because I knew he was real.

The Biblical figures of the New Testament were really no different than the believers today, accept they didn't except hypocrisy. But as far as that goes, the same Jesus who did stuff in those days, and worked in those days, will work for those who will "deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him," today.

I don't know, Izzy. You've "conversed" with God, "experienced God," been "filled with the Holy Spirit"...dude, you're writing the latest chapters of the ongoing saga known as the Bible. You're a regular Moses.

God's plan was for that through Jesus in the first place, not just for special believers. The Bible in Acts talks of believers who weren't so special in the first place being filled with the Holy Spirit. He promised that if he went away. And conversing with God. If somebody claims to be a Christian yet HASN'T conversed with God, then I'll tell you now they are hypocritical. I'm nothing great at all, on that last point. I mess up plenty in following Jesus. I sin daily. But nonetheless I trust in his promises. If you think I'm anything great then you must have a REALLY high esteem for Christians. Because I'm really nothing different than another member of God's church. Not special in the least. But the thing is, really neither were those in the Bible, nor those who are said to be anything great. God does not rate people. The very same power available to the believers recorded in Acts is the same power available today, and ever since Jesus ascended, to anyone who will deny themselves and follow them. That's the thing though. To many so-called "Christians" want the benefits of God, but refuse to deny themselves: their sinful lifestyles, their own will, and their stubborn pride. Even I have trouble with that at times. But when we will deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow him with everything, putting all our trust in him and none in ourselves, and doing his will even when it's entirely different from our own and may even cause us suffering at the time, then he will start to use us in the VERY same way that he used the apostles. No difference. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And what he can do then, he can do it again. But he most definitely won't use those who won't follow him with their everything.

Well, a rather different way to put it, but I think that hits the nail on the head. And, honestly, by natural reasoning it makes very little sense, but man's wisdom is more foolish than the foolishness of God, so I think he's sorta the judge on that.

So basically you are saying we are too stupid to understand the pure genius in Gods plan and we are following his words blindly?

FSM here I come.

is this for real?

But i saw the FSM, he guided me, and i say i saw him, so i must be right, right?

OF COURSE IT'S FOR REAL!


The FSM has guided me for many years, HE is our creator, and I love him so!

What MAKES him? What makes the world round and not flat? What makes the sun so special to us, yet Alpha Centuri of no care? Why do Apple Jacks not taste like apples? I can't prove to you a thing, but what MAKES him real and the FSM not is the fact he just is. Pray to God, you'll get an answer. .

the earth is round because gravity pulls everything to a central point

the sun keeps us alive adn alpha cenaturi definently doesn't

apple jacks don't taste like apples beacuse they don't have apples in them.

Science is the FSMs way of telling us to stop thinking about crap and just accept it.

Brothers and sisters,

I have realized the errors of my ways, and want to accept the FSM into my life so that I may be forgiven. What do I have to do in order to taste freedom?

Notice the similarities between this thread and the other I gave the link to? Most Christians don't think that that thread is shoving their beliefs down others throats so if that's true they won't have a problem with this one.

They shouldnt have a problem with delicious spagetti being shoved down their throats!!

First, you must ask for forgiveness for not having Ragu on your pasta. You have had way too much Prego.

Second, you must verbally state that Spaghetti is the most superior form of all pasta foods. FSM does not care if you eat the others, as long as you agree that Spaghetti is the best.

And lastly, you must agree to never overcook the meatballs. If you overcook the meatballs, you better drop to your knees and start begging.

^Another one saved, I am very thankful that the FSM inspired me to start this thread to help others. Are there any others who have not accepted the FSM? All you have to do is ask for his grace and you will be saved. Give up your false gods, the FSM is the only true one.

haha flying monster lol

^You find our God a laughing matter? Stop offending my religion religion, I'm the one who has the answers anyway. Christianity has been spreading lies for years yet there is still proof of the FSM's existence. You need to learn to be more tolerant of other people's religion, especially when it is the one with all the answers and not spreading lies.

haha I honestly doubt you put all your trust in a flying monster.

^Now you're doubting my faith in the FSM? I feel his presence everyday inside of me and you would to if you'd only ask for his guidance but you're set on false illusions. There is also proof around us everywhere. Just look at the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and how could we have Ragu without the FSM? It just does not add up. There is also obvious evidence in the correlation between the decreasing number of pirates and the average global temperature. Since the number of pirates has been decreasing, global temperature has gone up. How can you deny that? It's fool proof.

No offense but do you realize how rediculous that sounds? FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER no I want you to say that in your head and think of that as a religion. What does pirates and globel warming have to do with anything and is that the only proof you can offer up?

Not ridiculous at all seeing as it is the truth. As for pirates and global warming heres a chart to explain it:

There have been also been various sightings such as here:

When have people ever seen any other gods personally in history?

You are also forgetting the gospel which I mentioned which is the direct word of the FSM and you could by on amazon here:

I have shown you all this proof and yet you still deny his existence. How? What do I have to gain from this? I am only trying to help you. What do you have to lose? Nothing. You will only gain happiness from having his presence in you and knowing when you die you will live eternally with the FSM.

I am not one to make fun of religions or try to put them down but this is flat out ridiculous. Putting faith in flying food over a God.

The flying food option is just as viable as the god option. you just have a bias, which is what the FSM deal is trying to point out. Some people, normally those of a slower, more sluggish mind power, cannot or do not realize this.

FSM is very much real. He gives me warmth and comfort when I'm feeling down. It will be clear to you once you accept him as your lord and savior.

I am not one to make fun of religions or try to put them down but this is flat out ridiculous. Putting faith in flying food over a God.
But the flying food IS our God, and the only real one at that. If you do not want to believe, then fine. If that is the fate you so desire.

Yeah, now why don't you give me examples of when this happened. Tell the story.


Or... do you "not remember"?

I'll give one example of each, though many of them I've said on here before.

Seeming intoxicated with no form of drug or action taken that would cause it (Acts 2)x
It was the night I was saved. I was praying for God to fill me with the Spirit, in a whisper mind you, in the middle of a very loud auditorium (live band, preacher speaking, and people praying). A girl came up to me from the other side of the room and said "The LORD told me to tell you that he was going to fill you with the Spirit tonight." The girl prayed for me (she was surely no older than 12 or 13). Then I could no longer stand and fell. But after this is the part. After about 30 min or so, some people from our youth group found me (this was after the service) still worshiping God, and helped me up. The rest of that night I promise you I couldn't walk straight. I had trouble climbing the stairs of the civic center (It was in the Knoxville Civic Center, to be exact). Also that night I was set free of many things including drug dependence, porn addiction, cursing, depression, thoughts of suicide, and much more, but that's beside that point. I also have what I wrote about it less than 24 hours later. Go to the Christian section and find the old thread "Winterfest '07" that I started. It's on the first page a few posts down.

Speaking in unlearned languages (Acts 2)x
This one has happened multiple times. I'll be praying and God will give me words to say, that in my own knowledge make no sense. To this day none of them still make any sense, but from my own Biblical knowledge that the Spirit will speak to God through you with "groanings" and Paul spoke of speaking in "languages of angels", I know it was God, though I doubt you'd believe that.

A supernatural boldness and ability to spread the gospel (Acts 2-4)x
I've had a few of these also, but I'll give just one event. I was at an Eddie James service a few months ago, and was filled with the Spirit. After which, I worshiped God with more energy and lack of care of the person around me than I do alone, especially in a crowd. I had the courage to praise God with a loud voice, even when the room (full of people) was silent almost. I prayed for people for things I normally wouldn't. Then, in the morning thinking back, I couldn't imagine HOW I was able to do what I did, but it was God in me, not me. Also that night I prayed for people while filled with the Spirit, and when I layed hands on them, before I even began to pray, they were filled with the Spirit. I don't think something not real can transfer like that, do you?

Back in Sept. of 2007 I was staying at my aunt's house for a week because my mom was gone (mom usually drives me to school because I can't catch a bus near my house. Complicated but back to the point). We were praying the Thur. night of that week and God lead me to call a woman in our church and tell her "The LORD can open doors that cannot be shut, and shut doors that cannot be open." So I obeyed the LORD and called her and told her that. She seemed shocked. It seems, as she told me then (and I'll tell you in a minute) that when I called she and her husband were praying about a problem with his job that had came up that day that I knew nothing about when I had called. I called and God had given me the answer to her problem without me even knowing the problem. But let me go ahead and tell you the problem and the outcome. Her husband worked for a strip mining company. A law suit was filed against the company, that the company said, if the other side won the case, he may lose his job. So that happened, and gave them God's advice to simply stay put and wait for God, so he stayed where he was working. The company lost the case, and 20 out of 30 workers lost there jobs. He was one of the 10 who didn't. Out of them, everyone of the workers except him and his brother (who was also working there) got a pay cut. They both got a raise. But then, a few months later he got a promotion, giving more pay, AND they gave him a new truck with it. That proves that it was good advice, though the odds were against him. Shows how God takes care of his children also.


Supernatural Knowledge (knowledge of an event that by the natural you should know nothing about) (1 Cor 12)x
I've been praying for people before and God's shown me specifically what is bothering them as I prayed for them. I prayed for them for it, obviously, and it was exactly what they were going through. That's the only real example I can give for this one.

There ya go :).

^ Your post is music to my ears but again, and again, and again I have to say it, personal experience is meaningless. I really don't care if you told us that God came and played connect-4 in your bedroom, it doesn't prove anything.

If you truly believe you're talking to God, and truly believe he responds, then ask him to bless you with the knowledge of anything related to me. For example, tell him to tell you when my birthday is, what school I go to, what my favorite food is, sports team is, etc etc etc.

Tell him to give you any piece of information about me that you otherwise would never have known.

Do that, and I'll become a believer.

Not saying I'm a Christian or not but I'm just confused why everyone use a "Flying Spaghetti Monster" to insult/prove a point. Just saying originality comes rarely on these topics.

No, you don't get it...the whole point of topics like this is to do one very important thing and that's to prove that just because you can not disprove something that does not mean it's true, or 50% true, or even a chance of being 0.0000001% true.

^I just prayed to the FSM...

he says you were born January 1, 1989, and had your first bowl of noodles on february 21, 1992...correct?

Well, thats an example of supernatural wisdom..

guess this means the FSM is real eh?

I know that. All I did was answer Bershman's question.

the FSM tells me your favorite food is spaghetti with Ragu. he is real!

^ How did YOU KNOW! I want to be baptized with prego sauce right now before it's too late!

Prego? oh that's a no-no. we only use ragu. you had better repent now for even suggesting that idea.

haha I honestly doubt you put all your trust in a flying monster.

then what am I the pope of? The FSM is real! I am his interpretor on Earth
