@ThePlatoon4 No, faith would be getting your math test back with red Xs on every answer and a big "F - See me after class!" written across the top, and still believing that you passed.

I'm reading some of these comments and I think that a lot of you did not understand the message which is sad because I think she was great.

That was lovely.
You should be go knock your neighborhoods front doors and be an official Spaghetti Monster advocate. You'd do well.
Just sayin.

Disclaimer to be put in the bible -
One day, you will learn all about santa. That day, remember all they told you about jesus.

@DrShakesBALLIN Believe in our spagetti monster. Go to pirate heaven with a beer volcano and a stripper factory. Become a pirate and get lots of wenches. 30 day god back guarantee - try the spagetti monster as your god for 30 days, if you aren't a believer at the end of the month, you can have back your favourite god. Now that really is lovely, no?

@2002lees
Believe in our invisible yet all powerful existence God, Zeus the almighty. Believe or be tortured for an eternity. Go to our Zeus church or be banished from society, you sadistic evil Christian fiend. Doesn't my religion sound LOVING? Just like yours! Wee!
