Some people completely miss the point.

This letter is from a person who is so consumed with his spiritual arrogance that he completely misses the point of FSMism.

I might have this completely wrong, but I am pretty sure FSMism was begun as a demonstration of how utterly stupid modern religion has become. If memory serves, FSMism started as satire regarding Creationism retitled as Intelligent Design, encompassing religion as a whole.

If one sits down and thinks about religion logically, without allowing emotional attachment to bias them, it is quite obvious that the Big 3 have so many things in common that they must be related. The moral rules in each are very similar if not identical, and their teachings basically revolve around the Golden Rule - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It puts actions into perspective and makes them personal.

"Do you want someone to piss in your food and burn down your house? No, you would think that person an asshole? Well, then you probably shouldn't piss in that guy's food and burn down his house."

It's an elementary empathy lesson, one that is used to teach children how to be kind rather than the numb little self-absorbed monsters they start out.

My basic gripe about modern religion is that so many people are so sure they are right that no one else can possibly be right...because the Holy Book they believe in says there can only be one Religion (to rule them all, one Religion to find them, one Religion to bring them all and in the darkness bind them) and that would disprove their own if they believed!

To me, FSMism has become a symbol of how I feel about the ridiculous need to put one religion above another. It's like proclaiming that the orange is better than the banana. They're both fruit, they're both sweet; some people like them both, some people don't like either of them. To say one is better than the other is ridiculous, though, because it's a matter of opinion.
