I still think the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a valid claim on the origins of the universe. Now that your crap on "eternal" matter was completely destroyed, I don't see anything wrong with such a claim.

So, Brahma, Yaweh, and ...? No no no. Who said the Flying Spaghetti Monster consisted of matter. His all mighty Meatballs are made of pure goodness, not matter. His all mighty noodles are made of pure joy and happiness, not matter.
So, Brahma, Yaweh, and THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!

That does not mean that their views are correct, nor does it mean that their views accurately reflect the true nature of the FSM. It is that the FSM does not require that His followers have specific beliefs about Him. A being that does not require others to have specific beliefs about it, is not a self-contradictory concept, and does not prove the nonexistence of that being.
If you make up irrelevant bullshit about that being, your irrelevant bullshit proves nothing whatsoever about the being's existence. The doctrine that states: "there is no dogma of the FSM" is a dogma. This is not only recognized by the church but it is stated that this doctrine is "by design." Therefore, the doctrine [teaching] of the FSM is self-refuting. Therefore the FSM is nonsensical [not the concept of the FSM but if the FSM were to exist, he/she/it would be nonsensical].
We cannot be logical from a foundation of illogic.

There is nothing the FSM can't do. It can have dogma and no dogma. It can contradict itself. It made all other gods.
Pretty simple stuff, we learnt it on day 1 of wearing-a-colander-on-your head school.
Of course he made your gods. Everything needs a creator. Except the FSM.
