leap of faith and the flying spaghetti monster

--According to tabloid reports, Top Gun star Tom Cruise is planning to build a $10 million bunker underneath his Colorado mansion as a precaution against an alleged intergalactic ruler called Xenu who, Cruise believes, will attack Earth. --

this is awesome. the world is kind of confusing, so people choose to believe in a deity or something or rather, and most of the time it is something that cannot be proved. So, if you are going to choose to make a leap of faith into believing something that you can never prove, you might aswell take a big run-up, and leap over a casm, and believe that the flyign spaghetti monster created everything. I'm impressed with Tom Cruise's comittment to his leap - i'm inclined to build my own bunker, just so i can chill and turn up the music really loud, but if it's to escape from the aliens, then why not? Scientology has a lot of ratinal viewpoints with looking at the world, and that is the appeal to many, it is a system with which to live, but i'm guessing that after about the third week they slowly start mentioning Xenu and his band of miscreants.

-i think the church of the flying spaghetti monster is the way, -The central belief is that there is an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster, which created the entire universe "after drinking heavily." - So maybe he can come and chill in my bunker, and listen to Jose Gonzales, watch the Patriots games, and drink heavily, occasionally waxing lyrical about the state of the universe.

And did i mention that the flying spaghetti monster knows what is causing GLOBAL WARMING -- Pirates!! We need more pirates.

If you believe in the spaghetti monster you are known as a pastafarian, and according to the Pastafarian belief system, pirates are "absolute divine beings" and the original Pastafarians.Their image as "thieves and outcasts" is misinformation spread by christian theologians in the middle ages and hare krishnas. Pastafarianism says that they were in fact "peace-loving explorers and spreaders of good will" who distributed candy to small children, and adds that modern pirates are in no way similar to "the fun-loving buccaneers from history." Pastafarians celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day on the 19th of September.

anyway the cause of all the bad such as global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates since the 1800s.

many religions say it is up to science to disprove that their god doesn't exist, not that they should have to prove it. So the guy who came up with this is poking fun at that concept. No one can prove that the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist. If carbon dating or something tries to prove he doesn't exist, you can just be certain that he waved his noodly appendages about and fudged the results.

he is a cool god too, because he doesn't really get into the whole fire and brimstone thing, he has the 'eight i'd really rather you didn'ts' instead of comandments.

and in closing, i bow down to my new master, and all his noodly appendages.
