All "Pastafarians" are atheist. There are no people in that group who actually believe in a pasta "god". So there is NO "religious belief". It's all just another way of making fun of religion. I don't see why atheists get a pass for disrespect while racist groups are held accountable. I gues ...[text shortened]... nd disrespectful and still not be considered "antisocial".
"Oppression and bigotry". Please.

Well go on, chop-chop!!
Originally posted by AgergChristians don't hate (even the fundamentalists). People who hate are either not Christian, or pretending to be.
You fundamentalist Christians think you get a free pass for hate while peace loving FSM worshippers (aka pastafarians) are oppressed at every turn. It is a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in 🙁

If there were any "Pastafarians" actually believing in a pasta "god", you would not miss the chance to insult them as you do theists (since they would be, by definition, "theists" ).
Originally posted by SuzianneWhy are you being so insulting, why don't you drop all that hate inside you and learn to love a little!? What have pastafarians ever done to you that you feel you are able to ridicule and cheapen their heartfelt belief in a higher power that is not of the same brand as what you believe!?
This is your response? Really?
So do you consider "Pastafarians" to be generally more stupid than average people (like you consider theists to somehow be "stupid" )?
No, because you do not consider atheists to be stupid merely for not believing. In fact, you consider them considerably more intelligent than theists.
If there were any "Pastafarians ...[text shortened]... e.
So, no, I can't prove it. But I don't have to. You cannot prove there is no God, either.

the FSM - as appealing as Pastafarianism is there just isn't
enough evidence (although the Tablecloth of Turin is quite
compelling with its 2,000 year old Bolognese staining)

Again, calling this oppression ridicules those who are actually oppressed.
There are no "FSM worshippers". That's my whole point. Atheists use this as a mechanism whereby they can insult and ridicule without restraint.
Originally posted by SuzianneOn the contrary Suzianne, *YOU* hate, possibly more than any other theist on this forum. Are you now going to say that you too fail to be a Christian!? This persecution of religious people expressing only their desire to wear religious attire is oppression in it's purest form. You hate pastafarians, you insult pastafarians by marginalising their heart-felt belief in a higher power. Next you will petition to have them burnt alive (or boiled) merely for holding religious views that differ from your own!
