Believe it or not, the Flying Spaghetti Monster gets hate-mail ... or rather Bobby Henderson does. Check it out here .... it shows a remarkable lack of Christian compassion (and for that matter, spelling and grammar).
Possible "highlight":
As a Christian, I follow Jesus for his teachings of love and tolerance; it is people like you who make me sick, I hope you die in a lake of fire and get your eyes pecked out by crows, so that you may go to hell and exist for eternity in a lake of fire getting your eyes pecked out by crows.
With love,
Charlie

I'm sure you've all heard of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), right? Sure, its the cute flying pasta plate that's trying to stick it to organized religion. FSM is a farcical "religion" created by a 24 year old guy named Bobby Henderson in 2005, based on the idea that a flying....…
Greg Abell wrote to me, requesting answers to his questions, which he doesn't ask, and since he caught me in a cranky moment, I felt like answering.
Hello,
I wanted to ask a professional scientist how something can come from nothing?
No, you didn't. You wrote as an excuse to preach at me, and are…
Apparently, Martin Cothran believes that there is no life elsewhere in the universe, and that this unimaginably vast emptiness is evidence that a god created us. I don't understand the logic, but then I don't understand most of his weird leaps in this post on how life on other planets is like…
Man, those visits to Fargo and Maine sure stirred up a lot of people. I've just been getting an unusually large volume of mail lately, and it's about evenly split: half are saying "Yay, I'm going to read your blog every day!" and the other half are "You're going to burn in hell!" It seems…
I think a line from Phil Plait is appropriate: "Did you just hear a funny noise? It was my irony gland exploding."
That example must be a satire. (Not that there aren't real ones that are similar.) For one thing, it's just a little too obvious. For another, the person used a semicolon in a way that seems to be correct; it's the following comma that's used incorrectly.
Satire or not, it is consistent with the real views of may Christians. Take those that support the death penalty as demonstration of Jesus' love...
support the death penalty as demonstration of Jesus' love - they are so sure that you will love Jesus too that they want to arrange a meeting between you and the 'Prince of Peace" (although, since he rose from the dead wouldn't he also be the prince of the undead?).
It's worrying how many of them have been apparently following the guide to Christian apologetics...
John,
you blasphemer! How dare you show a graven image of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

as a Christian, i'm sad to see such a letter, real or staged, i don't care. the truth is that a majority of 'christians' would respond like this. sux. try spending your time deconstructing the really warped persona of your faith that is overwhelmingly passed off as the real deal...when you'd like to be sharing how you ENJOY your relationship with the divine. anywho, my reaction to the spaghetti monster and intelligent design? does it really really matter? you're here now, do you care how you came to be here? if you are moved to acknowledge God, great, but really, is arguing about His existence in any way making it more true, more accepted? not really. want to show someone there is a God? love them when you have the worldy right to despise or hate them. just sayin' k

Jesus is a zombie! I never thought of that! George Romero is just another Mel Gibson.
