Proof The Flying Spaghetti Monster Doesn't Exist!

[Apathia]

I decided not to Piggyback this on another thread.

Leading 20th Century FSM (Flying Spaghetti Monster) Theologian Carl Barf clarified the profound teaching of the "God beyond God," in respect to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. "God Beyond God" as some of you theologs know is the GOD who stands behind the God of Christian conception ever ready to kick him in the but if he tries some of that Old Testament stuff again. Carl Barf said that the FSM was this very GBG.

He went on to explicate and expand upon the deepest Theological teachings of the West by identifying the FSM as the "Wholly Other" beyond all human rational conceptualizations. He said, "Human experience and intelligence are but a scratch on the surface of reality. We don't know Jack, so how can we know the FSM who is entirely beyond anything we can conceive. We make Gods in our own image and even images we call the FSM, but these are all as idols smashed in the Presence of His Glory!"

The FSM is Infinite and Boundless, and therefore according to Barf's early works, not an entity as you or I but "Being" itself. But Barf eschewed this view in latter works, saying that "Being" was a human philosophical conception that nevertheless boxed up the FSM for take-out. "We can never say what the FSM is, only what the FSM is not. The FSN is not Being. The FSM is Nonbeing. Nonbeing is empty of concept."

So we come our favorite question. Does the FSM exist?
To exist means to stand out as an object distinctly unique from other objects.
But the FSM is no object! The FSM cannot be finitely limited to one thing apart from other things. That's why Professor Barf finally admited the year of his death that to say what the FSM was not was as equally in error as saying what it was. He then burned all his books and papers and knelt before the porcelain god.

Existance is a limiting concept. The FSM is that which has no limitation. Therefore the FSM does not exist!

Aw, cm'on. You can do better satire. :)

Or (and prepare to have your mind blown so badly that you'll need to pee) does the FSM exist so much that it creates a limitation of non-possible existence, thus limiting it as a creature, and thus defining that it does, in fact, exist?

You'll all boil for eternity in the stewy pot of Ragout for your heresies.

More room at the beer volcano for me, I guess.

Ah, poor Professor Barf! He'd have loved that. The FSM can't be limited by or excluded in any way, so existance cannot be denied the FSM!

I think I can feel the blood vessels in my brain tying themselves into knots whilst reading this thread. :boggled:

More room at the beer volcano for me, I guess. See you there. I, too, like warm beer. It's a cultural thing. Not that I won't visit the beer glaciar, or the whisky tree, from time to time. In the FSM eternity - which sooooo outstrips lesser eternities, way more than real numbers outstrip fractions - I will spend an eternity at each, in succession, with excursions (I'm rather fond of tequila, for instance) for ever.
