deep-seated inability to progress beyond a single idea, closely resembling that of the believers they try so hard to distance themselves from?
I agree with you.
The FSM was made up for a very specific purpose (to point out the ridiculousness of some of the arguments involved in a school board debate over "creationism in schools"). It served its purpose.
However, the concept then became so popular that it took on a life of its own, and got to "cliche" and "overuse" status a very long time ago.
At least those invoking the FSM understand that they're doing it sarcastically and with the intent of mocking. But I think you're right -- sometimes they go so far that they don't realize that in some ways they've become what they're mocking...:)
Peace.
We can, and we should! Challenging ideas and notions is always a good thing.
No, considering how we have also formed the satirical religions of Jedi and Ceiling Cat-ism. Besides, move on to what? I'm not quite sure what else there is to move onto in terms of making fun of religions. We've basically been expanding horizontally, which is still progress.
Someone doesn't understand satire.
*BUZZ* I'm sorry, but it must be in the form of a question.
talk about "yawn".
those that find it necessary to tear others down, belittle their minds and mental abilities, to make judgments of their personality - all in an effort to give one a sense of superiority over another.
this kind of BS is what is rather boring and repetitive.
just grow up. if an atheist is being childish, be the f**king adult arepetitive yawningnd ignore it.
Apparently, you're not familiar with the tactic of fighting fire with fire....or in this case, fighting stupidity with further stupidity.
The repetitive reference is designed to demonstrate just how ridiculous YOUR belief system is.
And the fact that Ceiling Catism was basically invented on Y!A, that also disproves your comment of "inability to progress beyond a single idea."
They just think it's a clever way to insult those on the opposite side. I think they just lose credibility by using that phrase (yep, yawn). At least it's not as boring as "sky daddy."
I say everyone who considers using the term "sky daddy" should instead use the term "flying spaghetti monster." That will stand out more and thus make it easier to know whose posts to skip reading.
Nope, the FSM is simply the most fully formed piss take of religion to date - in terms of complexity it's light years ahead of raptor Jesus (he went extinct for your sins).
That said I am trying to work on a blobfish based religion.
I prefer Russels' Teapot personally.
im sorry. we only argue against ridiculous arguements put forth by the religious community. all of which we have won -except the obvious, of prove there is a god, both sides cant win that one-
arguements put forth by religious people:
evolution is just a theory - WRONG
where do you get your morals from- well definitely not from religion, i get mine from my evolutionary ancestors, how about you?
jesus was a real man- so was Muhammed, Buddha, and many more!
disprove god- disprove unicorns
look at this banana, proof that god exists-repetitive yawning no its proof that humans are good at selectively cultivating
(and when all is failing, they have something to fall back on)
hitler and stalin were atheists- *rolls on the floor laughing* hitler wasnt, and stalin was. both were dictators that did nothing in the name of atheism.
Atheists think the best way to get rid of religion is to bore theists to death.
Since being incredibly boring is the one thing they are really, really, good at, maybe they will achieve their evil ends after all.
As long as theists keep bringing up the same old-tired arguments, we will continue to respond with same old-tired responses.
Come up with something new if you don't like it.
No actually its a concerted effort to show just what a daft business religions are. Their claims are no less valid than any other religions, that's the crack. I think they make a very valid point, where as the three main religions do not. :)
What's the story there, a giant invisible magic being creates everything, screws up and allows its creation to make a fatal mistake. For which it banishes and curses their offspring for thousands of years. Then just when you think that's the end of the story, out of the blue it decides to forgive its creation, so manifests as a man and then commits suicide. Ok, walks away scratching head. If the intent was to forgive, why the big melodramatic dying duck act, why not just forgive.
True love is unconditional, love with strings is narcissism. ;)
Practicing Shaman.... quantum physics rocks.
