A place where I'll rant and rave or humor and enlighten the people around me. (Well Hopefully)

Words to live by.

You know, I've been checking out this Flying Spaghetti Monster stuff.  It's awesome.  

If you haven't seen them before, these are The Eight "I Really Rather You Didn'ts"  and I have to say, the FSM makes some good points.

 

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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 fuck 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.

5. I'd really rather you didn't challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the bitches.

6. I'd really rather you didn't build multi million-dollar churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick):
1. Ending poverty
2. Curing diseases
3. 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.

7. 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?

8. 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/Las Vegas. 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.

Tell me more about this Flying Spaghetti Monster.


Here's the site: WWW Link

The Flying Spaghetti Monster was a response to intelligent design being allowed to be taught in schools. Bascially a letter was sent to the Kansas School board (This letter: WWW Link) criticising them(and rightly so) for offering intelligent design as a valid scientific alternative to evolution. So the idea of the FSM was offered as another theory to be taught alongside evolution and intelligent design.

Satire at its finest.

Here's a picture included in the letter where the FSM creates mountains, trees, and a midget.

This is awesome, Zoo.  I think I've finally found my calling.  But don't tell anyone, 'kay?  I'm not here to argue, debate or justify my beliefs.  I'm here to have a good (but well-protected) time.

Sure thing.   We'll keep it quiet.  Of course by we, I mean the FSM and I.  May his noodly appendage shield you from the persecution of the nonbelievers!

Nay, Tova!  For he has seen the truth!  He has seen the carbohydrate light and has become ensconced in the joy of knowing his creator!
