more religion stuff. haha

so a few days ago i was at the cafeteria with a few seniors and 1 friend from my year, vava. i don't really know these seniors but they were really nice and all. the one sitting next to me, suddenly asked me 'hmmm, nama lo td siapa? idya ya? agama lo apa?'. i was once told that she could read other people's mind. and well, i just answered 'ga punya agama.'

my statement kind of shocked the whole table cause i just knew them a few seconds ago and they didn't know anything about mu beliefs. then my senior just went 'oooh, pantesan. gw drtd ngerasa ada yang beda. gw udah nahan2 mau nanya tp ga enak. maaf ya, gw ga pernah kok tiba2 lgsg nanya agama orang tp gw ngerasa bgt ada yang beda.'

ooh ok, WOW. she's good. haha. but it got me thinking. so was i really that different just from not believing in a religion? i asked her if it was positive different or negative different and she only said ' ga tau, pokoknya beda aja.' haha.

nearly all my friends that's in the same batch as me knows about my beliefs, and it surprises me how much of them actually came up to me and said they're actually just like me but they're not ready to come out. and lately i've been hearing a lot of  'agama lo apa?' being answers with, ' gw kaya idya.' haha i'm glad i could speak up for them but i wish they'd all come out too. come on people, it feels great to stand up for what you believe. haha.

also, i would like to explain more about the flying spaghetti monster because A LOT of people are mistaking it for a lot of things. i've heard it being called a communist society and a satanic cult. NOOOOOOOO. it's faaaaaaaaaar from those things. flying spaghetti monster is a PARODY RELIGION. it uses a hell lot of amount of sarcasm. most of the members are people who actually have a real religion but are disappointed by their religion. this doesn't mean there are no atheists and agnostics joining. EVERYONE is allowed to join. flying spaghetti monster worships a flying spaghetti monster as their god. they create conclusions such as, the burning bush is actually a flying spaghetti monster but at that time moses had really bad eyesight(god i love this), and ones such as the increase of global warming is caused by the decreasing amount of pirates. therefore we should dress up like pirates. they create fake videos of the flying spaghetti monster itself giving an appearance and pretend to believe it as the real thing. well, in conclusion, flying spaghetti monster is just a parody religion with nothing but sarcasm.

here are some things i hope can make you all understand better.

I’m not ready to give up my spiritual beliefs, but I feel like “my” church has betrayed me. Just as extreme Islam has made westerners equate “Muslim” with “terrorist,” the word “Christian” has been co-opted by social & political terrorists. Where are all the “centrist” Christians who should be rising up against this identity theft?

let me emphasize that the FSM is not an atheist organization. We are Christians, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, agnostics, atheists, humanists, deists, pagans and Wiccans. We are not against anyone’s god in any way. We are simply against hatred and dogmatism. We protest people who come to our campus and try to push their religions on other people. 

For more info, go to www.venganza.org and visit youtube and search flying spaghetti monster. there are a lot of videos that will know explain what FSMism is all about. this religion has nothing to do with communists, satanic cults or pro-abortions or whatever. please be aware of what you hear. we are just another form of protest.
