This week I did some research about twitter to see how different entities (companies, organizations, etc) are using Twitter, and stumbled across something interesting. Everyone can now follow the FSM on Twitter. Yes, your very own ‘deity’ now twitters like the rest of us, only I guess it uses a ‘noodly appendage’ instead of fingers…
Seeing as Google has deemed me an expert on Spagnostics and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), I figured I could let all of you who keep finding this blog via searches about this ‘religion’ know about this new development.
My thoughts on this:
I think the ‘church’ of the FSM is sad and makes me very disappointed that it has gained such a cult following. My hope and prayer is that by discussing and thinking about things of faith (even if it starts in a mocking tone) one day, maybe years later, these people may be open to the ideas of a real faith.
Theres no such thing as “real faith” and “fake faith” (Yes, I can also use quatation marks =D)You can’t say my faith in the FSM is not real. My “faith” is just as “faithful” as “your” “faith”. “In” “my” “opinion” “your” “faith” “is” “a” “false” “faith”. The reason we dont belive in your “faith” is because its st00p1d.
I do not think you have this right, nor you understand the point of Pastafarianism. That is not a problem. Lots of people don´t. I would have thought that, since you are deemed to be an expert on this topic, you would have a better understanding.
I think that us people have opened our mind to reality and here we are… (“real faith” although theoretically possible sounds almost contradictory) Would you dare do the same? Or too risky for you?
