If the FSM just happened to be real, where would it reside? Mount Parmesan? A great collander in the sky? Stuck to the wall of time?

In the sky.

some people just don't get it.

FSM is everywhere watching you. His spirit is especially strong during food fights.

That photo is proof though. You can't deny it now. I've even heard of people who have see him in melted crayons in the street - or burnt onto the bottom of the pizza. There's just no way to deny him anymore.

I'm scared. Where should I send my money?

Does salvation still cost ten percent of my salary?

not many people understand. here in texas, two things are huge. church and football. or so it seems.

true, religion belongs at home, but in highschool a student chooses his/hers classes. they can arrange when they take them, and the school will usually work with their desire.

Not many people go to church, and a bible class will be nothing more than that. it doesnt need to be praying, but at the same time, the bible is something major in the worlds history. there have been laws preventing it.

I think the people who are truly intelligent in life, are the ones who have read a bible from beginning to end. it explains alot. and history repeats itself.

sometimes, having faith will help people through something.

You can send all funds to my paypal account and I will absolve you of sins and you will be welcomed into the pearly gates in the afterlife.

It costs $100,000 and butt sex though...you gotta pay to play if it's for salvation.

You seem to have misunderstood my point. I'm not arguing in favor of being agnostic - I'm arguing the uselessness of it.

Apparently I did misunderstand. Truly useless is it, but I would rather be associated with taking no side instead of the dysfunctional religious side.

[Aptyp]

I think he's more concerned about FSM than you pearly gates.

[speedhop]

Well shit...I thought I'd be able to get some money outa this.

FSM is there too!

What's the temperature in hell?

Bullshit. Religion belongs at home.

exactly.

When I was in middle school there was a "prayer group" that met in the library once a week before school. The school decided that allowing the students who wanted to congregate socially before school and not use school time would be allowed to do so. Looking back on it, I think it's somewhat BS - it just doesn't belong in the school.

I am all for freedom of religion - a person should be able to believe in whatever they want to believe in. However, that belief does not belong in the classroom regardless of what your take is.

If anyone can show me proof of a supreme being, I'll be the first one in line at church on Sundays.

I'm not an atheist. I'm an agnostic. I don't think there are any supreme beings, but I'm not ruling out the possibility, either.

I've never seen any evidence that there is a supreme being, much less proof.

When I see incontrovertible PROOF that there is a god, I'll buy the whole religion thing. Until then, practice what you preach. Just don't expect ME to live according to YOUR faith.

that's very valid - well put.

At least they're not trying to teach that shit in science class.
