    Default Convert me to anti-Pastafarianism

    Since EMM is always invaded with threads trying to prove why anti-Pastafarianism is so much better than other belief systems, I thought of a challenge to pursue this fun activity. I am said to be a "Pastafarian", and I invite you to convert me to anti-Pastafarianism. I don't care which denomination of anti-Pastafarianism do you belong to, just convert me to this awesome religion called "anti-Pastafarianism". You can use any tool you like, you don't even have to appeal to Reason. Point out mistakes, inconsistencies in my notion of FSM, deny the possible existence of his spaghetiness, mock the manifestation theory, amuse me with stories where Pastafarians said stupid things, find examples in history where my belief was used to incite hatred / food wars etc. Tell me about the tale of the almighty god, deny my right to subjective experience of FSM, compare me to people who believe in the IPU.

    The only restriction is that you have to put some effort into it, f.e. saying "Oh, that's easy. Just quit believing in FSM." will be met with opposition. I am eagerly awaiting this exciting opportunity to finally join the club of the enlightened.

    Well, for starters the FSM is clearly just a joke inspired by spaghetti and meatballs. But I suppose it is possible that spaghetti and meatballs are joke inspired by the FSM..

    Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

    I wear the chain I forged in life, I made it link by link and yard by yard. Is it's pattern strange to you? How would you know of length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It was as full, as heavy, and as long as this seven christmas eve's ago, you have labored on it since, it's a ponderous chain!

    Its a never ending cycle. Pasta can't live up to Jesus so it has to re-reincarnate every few seconds.

    Indeed, but the eating off his noodly apendage and meaty goodness is the start of a new covenant.

    The FSM can never lead to happiness as it automatically creates opposition with other mainstream religions and doesn't actually have any goal except the humerous consequences much like mormonism.

    And how so you know that? Maybe they were on something? Why do you keep oppressing my beliefs?!

    Sorry, but I don't exactly understand the reason to worship something man made, that all the rest of us would attribute the creation of its ingredients to our God. Spaghetti has created nothing, and nothing about it is special, everything that it does for you, something else can, and it has left you nothing but a filled belly if you go out and purchase the noodles which are made from something else that was grown in a field.

    I know that this like the rest of Threads is a mock to PW tread on atheism...

    But still I'll copy paste what I wrote in the Leprechaus thread

    So in end only you can convince yourself.
    Replace Leprechaus with FSM and you're done.

    one could say (or many infact do) that 'god' is also "manmade".
