Did I miss something? Crab sticker with FSM that you see on cars? “Finite State Machine”?

I was SURE he was talking about the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I kept waiting for the hosts to say something about that, but they went down the “crab / Finite State Machine” path. Is my head just somewhere else entirely?

I wish you guys would’ve *gently* challenged that Catholic lady caller a little bit. Yes, she was polite and pleasant, but I was dying to know “…so why are you still a Catholic? Are you just a ‘cultural catholic’, etc?”

Finite State Machine?? LOL – Has the caller experienced the power of His Noodley Appendage? I suspect not. You guys should have pointed him to a Google search or the URL http://www.venganza.org. That first gal was a culture Catholic. Why not ask her the rhetorical “why”? She mentioned we are all energy. I smell woo-woo, and have a sneaking suspicion that she regularly donates to Deepak’s coffers. The older gentleman was steering the argument toward a Pantheistic or Deistic point of view, which is fine… but he was sure getting damn preachy! I appreciate you guys shedding some light on… Read more »
