Hate Mail (and concerned criticism)
I believe in God.
You obviously don’t.
If your view is correct, when I die, I’ll never know it.
If my view is correct, when you die, YOU SURE WILL.
You are a 25-year-old ignorant moron!
Actually, with the complexity of the universe we live in the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory has more credence than the theory of evolution that we just appeared out of some gobbly-gooked prehistoric soup; starting off as some one celled life form and eventually becoming a 25 year old idiot student who thinks that he is creative!!

Well, well. I struck a nerve amongst the educated ones. They object to my characterization of the writer as being an ‘ignorant moron.’ So sorry lads – and lasses as well! I mean no harm. I have thought about it and my words may have been too harsh. I would not really characterize anybody in that way normally; not without it being tongue-in-cheek. So sorry lads – and lasses!
No, it doesn’t take a great education to become completely empty inside. Nor does it take a great lack of it to become a faith-healer-visiting-tongue-speaking-rolling-on-the-floor fanatic. Both of these can occur anywhere between ignorance and higher education.
All I can say is consider the universe and life more closely – if for your own benefit. I am sorry that so many young people have bought into the notion of a meaningless life of chance and no purpose. It may play out well when you are in your 20s and feeling frisky but in the end it will only lead to lonliness, sadness, and despair. There is hope demonstrated in our universe. It is ever evolving and showing its glorious beginning and PURPOSE. It shows its remarkable design and points us to a place where we can have hope – hope that there is something beyond our educated minds.
My apologies – I did not mean to come across so harsh. Ignorant, maybe. A moron? Well others will have to be the judge of that.

i don’t believe this shit!!! Why are you telling this ************ to all people all over the world??? You must be silly!!! This is only a gag. You might’nt believe! -Sebastian Fritz
Really, you should be ashamed of yourself. Its okay, I guess if you don’t want to believe in Creation. Oops, I didn’t use the politically correct moniker of “intelligent design.†However, you mock everything that Christians believe in. I noticed how in the story of your drug induced spaghetti monster you capitalize the name of your so called creator. Although I am not a perfect person and yes I do sin, I believe your opinion is blasphemous. I also realize that what I am writing to you will probably be scoffed at because you have already made up your mind that science has all of the answers, consider this: Science is largely theory and the test results can be manipulated every time to derive at a particular result. It is unfortunate that you must down grade something you don’t understand, but that’s okay. God gave you a brain and free will to decide what you want to do and whom you will follow. I just pray that you don’t burn all of your bridges before it is too late.
Your brother in Christ,

P.S. I’ll pray for you with the hope that when you have children you are spared from losing them to some sort of tragedy. Because I know that if that happens to you, you will most certainly blame God and that simple act of blaming Him will result in your acknowlegment that He truly does exist.
Mr. Henderson,
I hope you do not think that putting the comments of the “wise” on your web page will cause the true believers to doubt our Savior. You can quote the scientific community and list the names of those who claim to have a PhD, but those of us who know the truth are only saddened that you are doing Satan’s work. You see Mr. Henderson there are 2 schools of thought that us simple Christians believe: one is that “Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the light” and those who believe, confess their sins, and live a Godly life will live forever in His kingdom, the other is that there is an enemy and he is also powerful (but not a match for our God) and those who support him (by not accepting the salvation that Christ’s death offered) will burn in hell. As there are different rewards in Heaven, I cannot help but believe that there will be different degrees of torture in the place that I will never know. And, I do believe that those who led the lambs astray will be faced with a death even more cruel than being thrown into a lake of fire, if you could imagine. You have obviously spent some time in The Word of God, as is indicated by your blasphemy. As a child of God, which you are, I feel the need to call your attention to the unforgivable sin, “blasphemy of the holy spirit”. I and many others in my congregation have prayed for your salvation, because even though you mock the God we serve, we are told “to pray for those who curse us”. I feel you are wasting the leadership and creativity that our Creator has given you. I beg of you to spend some time in Matthew and turn back before it is too late. Matthew warns us that those who lead children into sin may as well have a yoke put around them and drown in the sea. They only add to the those who will suffer in hell alongside them. If you died tomorrow Mr. Henderson where would you go? Would you just break down into the earth and that would be the last of you? If that is what you believe you are lying to yourself. I believe in us all is the innate knowledge that there is a Creator and a divine plan for our lives. I can only hope that one day you will be on our team and that you will be able to witness to others how you were once lost and in a dark and lonely place where you felt the need to drag others into, until the light was shown to you.
In God’s Love, Melissa Rayburn
