I don't get this. Is the flying spaghetti monster just supposed to be another name for god in the sense of the creator? If not, isn't this monster a different kind of entity--an extraneous entity?
That's not the same sort of entity as the concept of God, is it?

There's actually evidence for the FSM, but none for your so-called "God."
It's not my god, but anyway, what would be the purported reason for our thinking that the monster existed? What did the monster do?

If there's no such thing as the FSM, then where did all this spaghetti and meatballs come from?
I wonder if they said that in the letter.
But anyway, I'm trying to figure out if, logically, that's the same type of question as, "Where did the universe come from?"
Do you think it's the same? Don't you think there's a different degree of certainty as regards this question?

I am of the opinon that God and FSM are not the same sort of entities and therefore cannot be compared as in the letter.

Re: Nice that you know
I'm thinking about starting a topic on how the FSM is not the same sort of entity as God, since no one bothers to answer me on this topic.
The point of the letter was that it was the same sort of entity.
