Pastafarianism

[OldGit]

Excellent that you've joined.  I'm DavidH over there and also among the Toadfish.  Just as here, there are some very nice, very funny and very, very bright people over there.
There used to be one person here who, I'm almost sure, is a Toadfish.

I was hoping posts in the religion section would highlight the conflict between the rational and the religious. While I appreciate that your post has a comedy element, it seems unrelated to religion. I assume that you are not mormon, but cannot assume that you are therefore rational.

The OP concerned Pastafarianism, so that's what I was on about.  If you want serious threads about religion, this forum has many to offer  - be our guest, take your pick.

And don't write Pastafarianism off as ridiculous; it was invented with a very specific anti-creationist purpose and now serves largely as a mockery of religion.

Ah, so I don't suppose you'd be interested in a game of tautology tennis?  

The threads by Sophus, Martin TK, Recusant, Jac3510 may be interesting, perhaps people will join if you comment on them.
You can start your own thread and set some rules.

It would be nice to see you there,  keithpenrod too.  http://www.venganza.org/forum/

I'll visit there today!  Hope I can keep my Pharaoh Cat name and icon!

Pharoh Cat has become a fan of Stevil one of the other members here 

Indeed I have!  Bask in the Stevilian tenet, worded by his acolyte:
"Nature is an amoral system, power permitting whatever power can accomplish, so every creature has the natural right to do whatever it can, and every law is an infringement, sometimes reasonable, always questionable."

See the Rights thread in the Philosophy section.

But better yet - have a bowl of spaghetti!

Grrr.  The anti-spam "type some bullshit" gizmo at the FSM site is either broken or I'm blind.

[OldGit]

Oh, dear.  I never need to use it.  Maybe it'll get fixed; it was OK for keithpenrod. I presume, since he's joined OK.

I got in at last.  But consider what I had to do.  Here's the thing I was looking at:



Letters are case-sensitive.  I decided to guess like so: "32Tzsx9" - and it turns out I was right.  But I had no idea I was right until the thing told me so.  All the letters are the same height!  Subtle geometrical considerations made me decide the "zsx" squigglies were lower case. 

Any way.  Sorry to rant.  If you were to check out the Non-Religious Pet Peeves thread, you would find a post by yours truly, on this very topic.

But I got in!  And I made my two introductory posts!  I await approval.

I wonder what they'll have us do when computers learn how to read this stuff (I'm pretty sure that day's around the corner).  Maybe it'll show a video of a person speaking and you'll have to read their lips.

Hmm.....
Just bring back the death penalty for spamming - that should put 'em off.
