This has to be the worse so called “church†yet. This is just an excuse for people that are lazy as hell and feel like “worshipping†there own way. You obviously don’t take yourselves seriously…or is that another one of your spaghetti mosters “traits.†Can’t you see that you’re taking a real set of religions and just placing a few ideals of “noodly†shit in its [there] place?!?! My god…and if that sorry excuse for a god really is you “supreme being,†I’m just gonna let you know that I just shit out your “supreme being†last night after I went to Fazolli’s…..

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
…and repetitive?
You just got to laugh at the poor humans that just don’t “get it”. Let us all know that this is why we must go forth and celibrate Holiday!
Sir/Madam,
Our Lord and Creator, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, blessed be his name, has prepared a special place of eternal torture for beings like you. Blasphemy against his holy name is a ticket to the REAL hell, which is much worse than any Christian god can make. I feel sorry for you, as I will for eternity. You had your chance.
I…
oh what’s the point?
His rant shoots itself in both feet then both knees and keeps on going until it puts both barrels through it’s miniscule brain.
It’s like car crash internet, you want to look away but you just can’t…
Seriously there should be an IQ test before you get an internet connection…
You never know. One of them might just see themselves in the real light one day. Nah!…just my imagination again!
ermmm he doesn’t get it does he, and lo he shall burn in the infernal pizza oven for at least 23minutes. Sorry mate but you’re screwed
And I feel sorry for you, oh sir that doesn’t understand satire. What is wrong with people that see this as a real thing? This “religion” is even more bizarre than the-wait…no it’s not
Oh, and what of the so-called “Church of Scientology”?
People who visit websites like this, which parody things a great number of people hold sacrosanct (a la Whitehouse.org, for example) fall into three broad categories:
1) Those who “get it” - Extremely rare, these are the ones who laugh uproariously when they see anything to do with Scientology, Christianity, or any other flavor of bull. Always entertaining to have post because they know what they’re talking about, and are another convert to the cause.
2) The idiots - Most of these people never graduated from elementary school, by the looks of their grammar and spelling. Honestly guys, just do it right. It’s not that hard and it pretty much invalidates your argument to anyone of intelligence if you sound like a twelve year-old hick. This goes for everyone though, don’t feel exempted just because you don’t believe in the Mystical Man in the Sky. =)
3) The Christians - Marginally more entertaining than the idiots, they usually waver between both categories. Explicit in their use of threats, religious references, and extensive logical fallacies, their main goal seems to be to make me laugh until I start crying. Ideally, we would get ahold of a nuke for next years JesusFest and wipe them all out in one place. Fallout > Christianity, by far.
I win.
Hey Henderob
For a guy who is ranting about another person’s right to satirize a religion, you certainly don’t imspite too much confidence. After all, your five poorly structured sentences contain nine grammatical errors. Maybe you should consider cleaning up your own act before crapping on someone else.
Besides which, a hundred years from now folks will look back at this Intelligent Design debate and wonder how humanity ever made it through the 21st century, in much the same way that we look back in amazement that any culture would worship the sun, or offer sacrirfices in order to change the weather.
The answers are there, hidden away in these secret locations called libraries. Try one.

Look again, Grayman. Henderbob runs this site. He didn’t write the “I feel sorry” note. He just puts them up there to start a discussion.

Err, Henderob, not Henderbob.

I usually just swallow hard and bite my lip over my many typos, but to mangle the Prophet’s name be sacrilege! Forgive this poor pirate, mates.

On a separate note, something just occured to me. People often ask about FSM holidays. We have TLAPD. Well, why not add Oktoberfest? Perhaps the FSM season of Ramendan can begin with TLAPD and end with Oktoberfest. I know in my heart that the FSM must love beer gardens, sausages, sweet breads, cheese and polka bands! What’s not to love?

Cheese! Gimme!
Is not every day a “holy” day? Buuurp! Pass the Parmesan!
You need to be touched by his great noodle… Enlightenment will lead you to understanding the powers of the great Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I think that people are absolutely right to point out incorrect claims of the author (Frederick Turner) that Hitler was an atheist, etc. On the other hand, many of you seem to think that he has some relevant points when he discusses science. As a theoretical physicist who knows and understands Kurt Gödels proof that he refers to, and, although not a cosmologist, are familiar with the ideas regarding multiple universies that he mentions, I may give a little perspective on those parts.
When it comes to Gödel’s proof, Turner writes “Kurt Gödel showed conclusively that every system of reasoning contains self-referential statements of the form of “This statement is unprovable”, which are correctly formed propositions that must be true or false, and must, if reason is fundamental, be provably one or the other.” This is simply not true. It is a misinterpretation of Gödel, made to cast doubts regarding the validity of logic. What Gödel did show was that any formal logical system cannot be proved to be both complete and without self-contradictions, if it should be powerful enough to contain arithmetics. Gödel’s work did involve the constructions of self-referential statements that Turner writes about, but in no way did Gödel’s work imply that all propositions must be true or false. Rather the conclusion from Gödel’s proof is that we can live with the fact that there are propositions that are not true or false in a formal logic system. How Gödel’s wonderful and impressive work, regarding the foundations of mathematics, based on logic, can be used to cast doubts on the validity of logic, is beyond my understanding.
When Turner discusses recent developments in cosmology, he may have a point that the suggestion of multiple universes should have a philosophical problem when it comes to “Occam’s Razor”. However, there are a few things that Turner fails to mention in this context. Firstly, multiple universes is not a part of mainstrean cosmology. Most cosmologist would not subscribe to this picture. Secondly, the problem to explain our current universe that cosmologist have, is derived from our best current knowledge of physical laws, that is the standard model of particle physics together with general relativity. However, physicist in general do not believe that these laws are the final word. While they apply over the length scales that we can probe in the laboratory, and many larger events that can be studied with, for example, the Hubble space telescope, it does not mean that there is not new undiscovered physics on cosmological scales. In fact, physicists agree that the recently observed accelerating expansion of the universe is a phenomenon that cannot be explained by current physical knowledge. My point here is that Turner argues like cosmologist have claimed that they have all the answers, and that this answer contains multiple universes. They have not, but the fact that science cannot explain everything is not a proof of Gods existence, as Turner seem to imply.
Finally, I want to point out that there are more obvious mistakes in the rest of Turner’s article. Here I have just discussed those parts that touches on more advanced scientific topics.
I may just, technically, be an irish kid of the age of 15, but if god is perfect,, why would he feel the need to create anything, much less an imperfect world? If to be perfect is to be complete in every sense, then why would he feel the desire to create, and why would he feel the need to tempt his people. To me this suggests either sadism , or really having nothing better to fdo with his time. If anyone wants to hear of anymore arguments against God(s) i’ve got a few more cooking here. And by the way, in case you haven’t noticed,im not tryinfg to offend your beliefs, these are merely my own. I do not wish to force mi beliefs on anyone, I merely seek an answer to my questions. thank you so very much. Cead Mile Failte and May the wind be ever at your back. Thank you for reading this entire post. If not look up ya great eejit ye
And by the way, person who originally wrote this ridiculous piece of hate mail, can’t you see that the entire concept of pastafarianism is satire, as it is equally plausible as the deities of islam, christianity, Buddhism, etc. There is no more proof of their existance than their is of his noodlyness, therefore it is an equally valid theory,and therefore must be disproved before you can denounce it in this manner. Thank you.
Stay out of my psychosis. Besides, little meatbally is cute.
To a certain extent religion/god is pluasible, and knowing that everyone needs meaning in some way should be respected, its ok for ppl not to beleive in god but to discriminate against those who do is merly well sad …i still wonder how we (being athiests) think we are correct or superior becuase we don’t need faith in a higher being…not questioning… just playing devils advacate really.
