Dear Chyron,
You won’t believe me but I fully agree with you.
My previous post has nothing to do with relationship with God (and none of my posts has something to do with relationship with God). I was just answering to Mrebo, because he said that religious folk conceded for a long time that debating religion as scientific facts was wrongheaded, making the Flying Spaghetti Monster pointless.
My feeling when people refer to worshiping or believing in the “Flying Spaghetti Monster” is that the fsm is a mockery of faith in God, as though relationship with God is akin to a child having an imaginary friend. And therefore the fsm is a ridiculous farcical creation to point and laugh at the absudity of faith in God. Maybe that’s because I don’t know the origins of FSM or whatever, and so my feelings are uninformed, but I imagine many people who haven’t researched FSM gather, from the implication of the name itself, a similar feeling to mine. Perhaps that includes mrebo.
BTW, I am quite intrigued : why are you answering when I talk to Mrebo, and why is Mrebo answering when I talk to you?
I imagine that it’s because of the idea that this is an open discussion, like a room in real life in which many people are privy to the conversation. Some people will jump in and out as the conversation progresses, not necessarily talking one-on-one to the same person the whole time, but to whomever is listening.
