[ArgueExplain]

You're trying to use reasoning, and you decide that something like the Christian god is reasonable. Really? How did you get from point A.( Reason) to point B (Yahweh). Was it the 6,000 year old earth that we know is millions of years old? Was it the worldwide flood that left no evidence behind? You're saying that reason would lead people to believe in a ghost who also send magical things called souls to a metaphysical plane called heaven or another called hell?

[Baderact]

The problem is when you look at the "lots of data" of who and what god is, is it is internally inconsistent. God claims to be the only god, while acknowledging other gods. God claims it is wrong to kill, but commands his people to kill. Gods Omnipotence is inconsistent with our moral will. The mountains of allegorical evidence from Christianity is no more factual evidence than the smaller amount of allegorical evidence for the FSM.

[ZZzzzzzWhat]

They speak as if The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster didn't exist!

[kittehprimo]

i think they missed the point of the FSM

[DMHR100]

god is the million miles per hour car. The argument is that there is so many evidence for god as for the fsm, therefore both exists according to religious logic.

3:08 contradicts with 4:06

Hale spaghetti full of grace the sauce is in with you,

Blessed art thou amongst noodles,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Stomach.

Holy Spaghetti, Mother of Pasta,

pray for us Fat boy,

now and at the hour of our death.

Ramen.

Hail the flying Spaghetti monster. (R)Amen

Feel free to disapprove this particular comment. I am mainly just making this one in hope that you will make a quick request. Usually when individuals "approve" comments it is because they wish to filter out those that don't fit their particular view (not saying this is the case). But, I believe discussion should be open and uncensored no matter your beliefs, and i've been quite respectful in my comments. As such i would hope you would approve my other comments for others to see and think about.

[jarrod1937]

The rest of your points are not that great either. The nature of the supposed "evidence" is not relevant, as that pertains to ones mindset. Thus the nature of the evidence is one of subjectivity, which makes it a poor point.

[jarrod1937]

Your points are true. But i believe the use of fsm is not for an argument against the existence of god, but rather is used as an example of how one cannot prove something unprovable like the existence of god or the fsm. This is thus an argument against the "argument from the negative" logical fallacy rather than being an example of an argument from the negative, as you suggest.
