Is Straughn obsessed with God?
From the HUGE amount of posting evidence gathered here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=479090) I felt that it would be arguable that Straughn is - at least - one of the options presented in this poll.
I'm curious to see where he's going to cast his vote :D

Would it be poor form to involve myself 'til the poll was closed?
Or at least, should i abstain 'til the poll is at its last input?
Further ... as abstaining goes ... perhaps i should employ "zim-zum"?
Or will the results be tainted by guidance/intervention?
Is there some sort of intercessory process i need to be aware of?

I'm not giving anything away here, but if most of these poll options were to be true, i would have *THE COOLEST* believers i could ever possibly hope for.
Unfortunately, that would mean i'd have to adjust the evil aspects of myself just a smidge so everything was in good proportion.
If that were to be the case ... hypothetically .... ;)

No. It is one of the firm belief of us Pastafarians (as the believers of the FSM is known) that lack of pirates causes global warming.
We even have scientific proof to back our ludricious claims, proving us to be one true religion in the world:

As a result, pirates are holy to the FSM. Verily, the official dress for a Pastafarian is a full pirates outfit.

I voted "all of the above" because we have already established that Straughn is a god and that he owns and denies it at the same time (the Divine Just Kidding-No Really-No Really Just Kidding-No Wait-Where Was I?), which is the manifest power of Straughn, God of Rippling Reflections. The mythos implies that if the reflections ever stop rippling, the The Iconoclast (me) will destroy the Straughn (by telling him to get out of the tub already).
(I just made most of that up. How does it sound? I think it could work, if squinted at in the right light.)

In Straughn's defense, I've mostly just seen him debunking the absolute insistence on any particular dogma of God.
Further in Straughn's defense, I move for dismissal of exhibit D, since it was recovered from his residence during an investigation without probable cause and with no warrant.
Yet further in Straughn's defense, you can't really get fingerprints off a college cheerleader's bra anyway, especially when its covered in butterscotch.

Well, six experienced forensic analysts declined to touch the evidence, saying something about "human dignity" or "oh, my ass, you touch that thing, pal".
As such, we can't say at this time what exactly is immersed in the butterscotch.
However, at this time, the "cheerleader's bra" working theory has the most support, except in Europe where a small but vocal group of researchers claim to have evidence that its the prosthetic pinky toe of Straughn's ex-girlfriend from college who died of grief when Straughn announced he would cease diddling comparative religion majors.
But I say, fuck those guys.

If by god one means the delusion as created by other and accepted by society then, yes. If by Satan you mean adversary to the church or evil, then yes. If by faith you mean an unknowing victim to his own particular brand of criticism and offense, then most definately. So yes works for all but the first. He has no problem with spirituality, he just hates, scratch that, loathes religion based on a contradictory and wholly uncertifiable document that one must be "shown how to read." From his posts one can ascertain that he throughly researches what he talks about (the cheesegrater and wasabi I don't know about, I am speaking of his more serious posts); therefore, the concept of a religion based on a document that can't be verified appears as completely ludicris and unworthy of a belief system attributed to it. He also loathes the political aspect of organizations directly in charge of religious matters. Their greed and corruption, being contrary to what they preach, infuses him with a rage unsurpassed by any deity ever spoken of. He is really just a guy, with a little (depending on the scale) touch of evil, and certain expectations and guidelines for which he judges the world and the entities in it. I tend to agree with a lot of his ideas, mainly because of the whole "Logic is my guiding force" mentality that I have. On a side note, if Straughn were god/satan, I do believe I would pledge my soul to him. Based on the notion that at least any punishment/reward I recieved would be inventive and original, liable to change at the whim of an wrathful, yet butterscoth-loving, and forgetful deity. Which except for the latter two, I do believe describes the god of the holy bible, at least when he is around (i.e. Old Testament).
