I have seen Star Wars, that doesn’t mean I believe in The Force or FTL travel.

What evidence would make you accept evolution?

And I have seen compelling video footage of UFOs. That doesn't mean I believe in UFOs, but I certainly accept that there is plenty of evidence to support belief in them. Atheists won't even give that much to Christianity.

As for evolution, I would at least need to see one other species of animals develop human like speech, multiple languages, and the ability to reason, create art and music and demonstrate a moral consciousness. Funny that out of the thousands of paths of evolution, only humans can do such things.

Is it hard for you to understand that many people feel the same way about your religion that you do about UFOs? The huge difference that I see is that unlike fundamentalist Christians, no UFO believers are asking for the government to enshrine their beliefs into law or allow them to discriminate against people that don't believe UFOs are real.

I worship the one and only true God of the universe. Woe be to anyone foolish enough to call the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Lord of Lords and King of Kings a mere UFO.

Compelling video of UFOs???

Okay, now we see that you truly don't understand evolution.

It's this stupid kind of mockery that just lowers the bar of atheist credibility with me.

Are you mocking my sincerely held beliefs? Why are you so rude and dismissive about my religion while expecting me to respect and honor yours?

Jeff... you need to cool off, or get a drink, or watch a CD of the beverly Hillbillies or something. Can you blame a response in kind to a foolish post that can (at best) be taken as a feeble joke? You merely make yourself and your case look the poorer when you scrabble for miserable points to score like that.

Sincerely held beliefs?

Yes, please tell me you are being 100% honest that you believe in a spaghetti monster.
