Would it not follow that each person finds their own meaning and purpose? If I find that meaning in believing there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster that created us all, does that not satisfy the existential search for meaning? Why then do you devote days and hours posting on a bulletin board to prove there is no FSM? That person finds their meaning just the same as you do. You can call them a quack and move on. Why are you looking for empirical evidence of this FSM? Is it because you are searching for an ultimate meaning?
Theism is unreasonable and illogical, ok so essentially they are crazy and akin to "believing" in the tooth fairy for which there is no evidence only stories. Correct? What does it say about someone who continues to try and have the "crazy" people prove to them that their fantasies are real? Do you really desire to be crazy as well?
When followers of the FSM try to force their views on others, and dictate laws based on their religion, then it will be time to argue against them. You see, Christians and other religious idiots are not simply believing something false, they are a danger to others and will not keep their stupid, idiotic nonsense to themselves. So they need to be shown to be the stupid fools that they are, and they need to be prevented from harming others.
The FSM is harmless, and, in fact, is useful in mocking the stupidity that is religion. That is why we don't spend much time arguing against the FSM. If Christianity were harmless, practically no one would bother arguing against it.
That, and I just enjoy ridiculing Theists by highlighting their bullshit because I'm kinda mean. I never said I was a good person or a role model.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
