    What's wrong with spaghetti and meatballs? I find it rather tasty. ;)

    In all seriousness, I respect the privacy of everyone on this forum. I would not post something that hits closer to home than that. While I think it makes sense for a post like that to be taken down, it was just a silly picture of a fictional creature that anyone can find online. While it was by all means a shot, it was really personalized to that poster's personal beliefs, not his wife. I have no interest in knowing anything about his wife, know nothing about her, and have nothing against her.

    I'll keep it where I please. You dont decide where MY faith belongs. This is what you guys dont get.

    You cool with people telling LeBron to shut up and play? Because thats what you are doing telling us to shut up and keep it to an hour on Sunday.

    You guys trying to force your faith on everyone else, at schools, government buildings, and public spaces should always be meet with resistance. Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion.

    it is interesting that there's almost no discussion about Bundy or the news story on this thread. Just arguing with other posters about everything else ...:cool:

    After they all pretended they didn't know who Bundy was there wasn't much to talk about. Had to take the threads in new directions...

    Most Christians are not advocating for creationism being taught in science classes. That is an extreme example and a caricature of the typical American Christian.

    The flying spaghetti monster is a symbol of resentment towards Christianity and religion in general based on a distorted perception of Christians and religious people.

    Using an apparently right-wing figure as a dunk on right-wingers despite most right-wingers here never having heard of the guy.

    Most Christians I know hate and mock other religions. I guess in your world it's fair to say the cross is a symbol of resentment towards Muslims? Or Pastafarians?

    How?

    Pastafarianism was created specifically as a satirical response to religion, specifically Christianity. Am I wrong?

    Public spaces are ours too and our opinions have equal right to be voiced in those arenas.

    Either you know very few Christians or you have the worst luck in meeting just the weird bad ones.

    Mocking someone elses faith isnt exactly a good way to make our appealing.

    I mean, I guess, but it doesnt mean freedom from exposure to it. That's nonsense.

    1A actually puts the onus on the government to NOT infringe on my right to freely practice. It does not protect your ears from hearing it.

    You always conveniently forget the other clause regarding religion, the establishment clause. Government should not favor/push one religion over another and inherent in that is the freedom “from” religion

    You can just look at this board, when was the last time some religious righty talked about Muslims in way that WASNT mocking or hateful? Trump talks about "Muslim bans" and 70 million Americans -- a large block of which are Christian Cons -- nod their head. Here alone, every time a Muslim does something bad in the news, we'll have 15-20 people here mocking it as "the religion of peace".... you know I'm right.

    Schools and government buildings should be off limits ... but I said resist, not ban ... But we all saw how well the Christians took it in that recent thread about the Christian dufus smashing the Satanic Temple's sculpture on public display, so you guys should take your own advice about "equal rights" before preaching to others.

    Every religion has to start somewhere, and it's full religion now complete with it's own scriptures. And it is as verifiably true and correct as any other religion.

    No it's not.

    A religion created as satire is not the same as every other religion. That is nonsense.

    A part of religion is that it is rooted in faith. It cannot be proven. Pastafarians/Atheists take the reverse logical fallacy that some hardcore religious folks take. "Because it cannot be proven, it must be false."
