  2. Some people have submitted their scores, so far I've seen the following marks out of 10: 2, 3, 3, 4, 5 and 8.
    So, one highly educated person got 8 out of 10. The rest are much lower. No-one has got 9 or 10 right.

  3. Religions often focus more on personalities rather than the actual message. It was interesting to see a quote and to consider it before knowing who actually said it.

  4. Capt'n Igloo proudly reports 6 correct answers, thereby scoring as a 'fairly educated person'.
    Furthermore, I wish to compliment the Amalek on his firm stand on seatbelts.
    However, the Amalek missed one important point there:
    The best way to avoid traffic accidents is by not going anywhere!
    MY church, the True Pastafarians, have always made a point of not going anywhere. And succeeded nicely I must say. Sadly, it hinders our proselytizing...

  7. This seems to be a religion,that mocks the fact that their are other religions.Wow obviously
    Pastafarianism feels threaten by other religions .It also feels threatened by creationism.Creationism is supported by scientific evidence,just as much as evolution.
    while Pastafarianism is not supported by scientific evidence.So this tells me this is someone who has been offended. He is also scared that children or others might adopt a belief different than his own.Seems that he is not tolerant of the beliefs of others.This is why he is poking fun and ridiculing how parents and others in the past have raised their children to believe as they do ,when he is doing the same thing.

  9. Ended up going on a rant. And I'm glad I did because if even one person will take what I wrote and end up thinking for themselves I will die happy. Enjoy

    I assume this whole religion is a joke. Which is great. God does not exist, get over it. Its now Christmas time and it reminds me of believing in santa. You do it as a kid, but you realize as you get older that there is no way 1 man could do all that. I know "god" is not a man, but the point is the same. No one being could do all that. To the idiot who commented 2 above me. What proof do we have for creationism? and is it really as much as evolution? Hell even the church has taken up an evolutionary stand point only recently introducing the idea of intelligent design. Recent being within the last 100 years. IF you can understand what I say next you should not believe in god. 1. The idea of a god was created by man. If a person today said they spoke to god and stood on a box in the streets preaching he would be thought to be crazy. Well 3000 years ago it was different, people were stupid and wanted to believe there was something better than the life they were living. Exactly why people who lead terrible lives believe in god ex. Prisoners, White trash, etc. 2. Religion was created to control the population. Giving everyone the same values, and saying that someone is always watching and judging you makes for a good scare tactic to be good. 3. Modern Religion is bad. Some aspects of going to church are great. Helping the community with food drives, homeless shelter etc. But its major downfall is it's form of censorship and how people use as a reason to stop progress. The church should not be telling people what to and what not to watch. Or stop the progress of scientific research like stem cells. Not to mention the idea of people not being able to have abortions because their religious beliefs. (Tangent warning) Lets say 16 year old can't abort her kid because the family is catholic. The church says you should not have sex till your married, but you still do then when it comes to having the kid you decide to go all religious and have the kid screwing up your life forever. Lets face it a baby is a wonderful thing, but a baby at 16-18 in the modern world means your fucked unless your very well off. (Tangent Over)

    The moral of the story is to think for yourself. I believe nay I know that religion hinders a person from doing so fully and thats all folks. ( Looney tunes Ending music)
