Your last point seems to miss the issue so drastically that I think it'd be futile of any of us to say anything in response. But needless to say, you need to look up either how the implications of beliefs affect those who don't hold those beliefs, or parody.

you don't get it, If I was an "Atheist" why waste the precious little time that I have on the earth protesting nonsense?

Protesting against stupidity and something that one objects to is a cornerstone of liberal democracies, no?

A secular state entails the neutrality of the he public sphere towards religion. If one faith can do it, then it should either be fair game to all non/faith groups or it should be outlawed. Using the public sphere as a domain to gain influence for your specific faith is something that has proven time and time again to cause division and inequality. The only safe way to ensure religious freedom is through a neutral public sphere.

Now, employing what you've just learned, are you able to reassess and combat your supposed 'confusion'?

I'm just going off of what they claim

from their website.

Quote:Q: Is this a joke?
A: It’s not a joke. Elements of our religion are often described as satire and there are many members who do not literally believe our scripture, but this isn’t unusual in religion – it’s only more obvious in the case of our particular religion. A lot of Christians, for example, don’t believe the Bible is literally true – but that doesn’t mean they aren’t True Christians.

If you say Pastafarians must believe in a literal Flying Spaghetti Monster to be True Believers, then you can make a similar argument for Christians. There is a lot of outlandish stuff in the Bible that rational Christians choose to ignore. We do the same with our scripture. This is intentional.

maybe it's a joke maybe not, but they are defiantly trying to be recognized as a legit religious institution.

Did your parents have any children that lived?

you still don't get it, It's not an issue that I care about as a christian. As an "atheist", Christmas nativity scene would be the least of my worries..I'd be too busy trying to find the nearest orgy.

Doing my small part to prevent Christians from wiping their asses with the Bill of Rights is higher on my list of things to do than finding the nearest orgy. To each his own, troll.

Okay, we get it: you're a selfish person barely held in check by your god. You don't need to keep repeating it.

Some of us actually care about things and want to shape the future toward something we find beneficial, though. Don't presume we're all as base as you are.
