An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

Actually when thinking on it time is erlatiev anyway. So trying to guess whether or not anything will exists in the future, regardless of it’s humour content, is an entirely moot point. So I guess we will have to just see as time goes by and the now become the then…
Still funny now…

Yup. Still funny..

Uh – huh, still amused here.

I could do this all day but I have work to do…
Maybe someone could make a nice clock and post the code here so it counts up for us just how long this has been funny…

I would like to say that FSM will be funny for ages to come and that ageing will not matter. Today no pastafarians have suffered any fatal injuries and we are all still alive and well. The spagetti monster protects us from harm so we will all live forever. We will be laughing for eternity or until we decide it is time to visit the beer volcanoes.

“…falls of her chair laughing at the Church of FSM….”
I have worried about this effect on the aged. Perhaps she should only be allowed to the site with a trained medic standing by?

It is not possible to “disprove” philosophies founded on faith rather than facts. The minute you drag faith into it, it becomes fantasy. You might as well ask science to “disprove” Dungeons and Dragons, or Harry Potter, or Little House on the Prairie.
Take Philosophy 101 at your local fifth-rate community college, fer chrissakes, and learn to reason at at least the level of a 10-year-old with an IQ of 120.
It’s the job of science to accrue empirically derived observations about the world and make predictions based on that and test them. Not to justify, prove, or disprove the wonky eschatologies of people who couldn’t reason their way out of a syllogism with a missing middle term.
I don’t think FSM is funny at all. I think it’s completely serious, and perfectly plausible, set of religious beliefs. Inasmuch as any are.
What I think is funny is Christianity. Pigeons knocking up virgins and old ladies, who then conceive Magical Children, who really are god, or maybe god’s son, or the guy who dunks god’s son in the river. Then he turns his followers into cannibals, then becomes a zombie, who organizes a cannibal-zombie cult, who themselves believe, and gloat constantly, that they’re better than anyone else, despite being a cult of slaves in stinky outposts of the Roman Empire, and later the Roman Catholic Empire, who can’t even organize politically, so instead play games like figuring out how to torture people who understand the difference between THREE and ONE. Plus they hold highly advanced beliefs such as that the world was created 2,000 years after the Sumerians invented beer and 4,000 years after the first domestication of animals, and a good 2 million years after the invention of the axe-blade.
And then the claim that there’s going to be this cosmic uber-smackdown where some people float up to heaven to do nuthin’ but strum harps forever and be installations in god’s little wax museum of the saved. While everyone else gets scalded to death by boiling blood, etc.
Man, if that’s not funny, NOTHING is.
Though the secular-civilization-resentment of Islam comes close, with its transparent overlay of pathological male-ego-humiliation. “We must destroy and hate the West–they are doing so much better than we are, and even our kids want to live that way, while we want to maintain an ancient Neolithic set of dusty, testosterone-fueled theocracies forever, because if you can’t do anything constructive, like build entire civilizations like we once did in Mesopotamia, or invent algebra, we might as well blow up all those who CAN invent new and useful things, like the calculus, and who long ago mastered basic things we haven’t, like how to build houses out of something better than mud and rocks, somewhere saner than right on earthquake faultlines. I know–the more violent we are, THE MORE VIRGINS WE GET. The fantasy of raping clueless underage girls should take our minds off the thousands of people squashed each year in mud-and-rock houses.”
Hinduism is pretty funny too–the caste system’s results aren’t funny, but the philosophy itself is as transparent a recasting of primate psychology as you’ll find. Here’s the alphas, here’s the betas, and here are the ones we all agree to hate, in order to distract attention from the stupidity of having alphas and betas. It’s no accident that Hanuman the monkey god is such a popular figure in Bollywood.
I personally like Buddhism. THERE was a guy–the buddha, I mean–who knew what side his cosmos was buttered on. “Yo, homeboy–nobody can liberate you but yourself. Shut up about it. If you meet me, kill me. Guess what, we’re all going to die! Nothing you do about it will change that! The universe is eating you up at its leisure! Hey, here’s a good one–what is the sound of one hand clapping? Huh? Huh? Think about it! Good one, huh?”
I mean, that’s FABULOUS. Dark humor like a Bergman movie. “Of course god doesn’t answer, you dimwit–it isn’t there, and there’s nobody to pray to. Shut up and meditate. And when you’re enlightened, guess what? IT DOESN’T MATTER!”
I’ve been laughing over Buddhist stories for 67 years now. Yes, I think I’ll still be laughing in another 23 years. At that and everything else. With vast gratitude.

Mythos,
The existence of the universe is not in question, but that’s really what this is all about. That it originated isn’t in question either. Who and/or how is. We’d all like to know the specifics of how it came into being, but since none of us were there and there’s no way to create an experiment to test it, then I guess there’s a bit of faith involved in everyone’s theory. I’m not sure the venom is necessary to discuss whether or not schools should be a “marketplace of ideas”. If all you want is for kids to seek scientific truth, then you shouldn’t be afraid of them looking into the scientific validity of theological explanations to the origin of the universe. After all, if no being was responsible for our existence this will be proven by sound scientific reasoning won’t it?
“After his suffering he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive”
I’m thinking historical documentation citing the existence of someone or something is fairly important in determining it’s validity.
“…FSMism is just as valid as any other “religion ”
Valid in your mind for sake of argument-yes.
Historically validity-no.
Historical documents referring to FSM…..0

Yes. Comedy lives forever, unlike you and I. I bet God and the Flying Spaghetti Monster are sitting (if that is possible for either of them) down at a nice restaurant in Sweden, laughing about the whole thing over a bottle of red wine (if drinking is possible for either of them, or laughing for that matter).
