It’s not accurate to say that FSM attracts intelligent followers by its nature. Genuinely intelligent people don’t have time for the joke, so what we get is people who know nothing and want a place to mock religion, as well as people who have read up a bit on evolution or have read up on Dawkins and have a few points on which they can argue.

The Church is funded entirely by your purchases of FSM merchandise. Thank you for your support.
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

I thought einstin liked a laugth, so he was either fakeing it or he was a idiot and FSM was takeing over him to create his ideas.
Actually Einstien couldn’t spell his own name.
Hey, SaucyWench, if Reagan could declare ketchup a vegetable as part of school lunch, I don’t see why His Noodliness couldn’t declare spinach fettucine a vegetable as well. Then, with some sauce and meatballs, you would certainly be a complete and balanced tribute to Pastafarianism! (and don’t forget the beer!)
I wish the lunchladies at my school were followers of his holy noodle. Twould be much more amusing. Mabye I can convert them….
And some beer is made from vegetables(not just grain), isn’t it? Mabye that’s rum I’m thinking of. well, I know you can make SOMETHING alcoholic from the green stuff.
well duh its not acurate to say that FSM attracts intelligent FOLLOWERS.
its just satire, i hope no one honest-to-goodness follows it like a real religion.
FSM does, however, gather groups of evolution-supporting, logic-using, in-general smart people. and thats good.
and i think everyone here would protest to the phrase “people who know nothing”…

While I can’t actually prosthyletize (sp? too lazy to spellcheck) at school, and the parents would be horrified if I even mentioned His Noodly Goodness, I can and do support “Pasta Your Way” day, every Thursday, so hopefully as these kids grow up, they will come to love Him, and all He stands for, as much as I do…
Next year, I’m going to promote TLAPD Day, too!
What fun!
(Gues I won’t mention Beer Volcano and Stripper Factory, either)
We are here therefore we are not smart.
You are here therefore you are not smart.

Well, if you want to go my George Bush, apparently your religion doesn’t attract very intelligent followers either. At least the people here know how to take a joke and use proper grammar, but hey, I guess knowing how to use the language you speak every day of your life is just below your level of “intelligence”, right?
It’s true the FSM does not ATTRACT intelligent followers; the FSM just CREATED us that way.
this is really offending me people, take back your blasphemous words and accept the FSM in your heart, or die and go to hell…
anyway, my IQ is 126, apparantly average is 100, and I just recieved my ‘Gospel of the FSM’. may I ask what your IQ is -f??? and if any other pastafarians, evolutionists or ‘intelligent’ designisters wish to include theirs, mabye with a link, perhaps we can solve this?
Don’t use the scientific scale of IQ.
.
Use the christian scale of IQ, defined as 1/(knowledge)
.
Therefore his IQ is infinity, and ours is just plain 0 (arbitrarily near to).
BTW: mine is 153, and the average is going up all the time (maybe education gets better)?
Well, if Dawkins is all you know, then you probably have to read up more. Most of Dawkins books are actually very good assimilations of major ideas from many different scientists. If you would to go and read up on books and scientific papers from every single scientists involved in evolution, you’ll probably be able to get your Masters in Evolutionary Bio right away. Hence Dawkins books are highly recommended since they are targeted at the layman too, the language not too technical and bla…
.
You can try Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Stephen Jay Gould, James Watson, and for a more balanced view The Language of God by Francis Collins, an evangelical christian and the head of the human genome project. However, I believe most freethinkers/atheists would arrive at the same conclusion they had initially anyway…
.
It’s not accurate to say FSM attracts smart people.
It’s not accurate to say Christianity attracts smart people neither.
You can’t say Christians are all moral.
You can’t say Atheists are all moral.
You just can’t make 2 lists of names and start comparing… it’s 3-year-old’s logic at it’s best.
well. I’m reel smart ‘n stuff. U can tell I’m reeeel smart cuz my daddy got me inta a gud skool by payin dem lotsa moneys. Dat’s kewl. I ran some bisnesses inta th’ ground befor I sold ‘em to my daddy’s frends. I jus know i’m way smarter ‘n enybody else. Lissen ta this: “Nuuuu-kleee-yer!” See! Smarter ‘n the President! I’d lyk ta see HIM pruh-nounce that!
Bill Bryson’s ‘A short histroy of nearly everything’, even my Mum was able to read it. I can’t imagine a person could actually read it and still be into ID…
ID is just for uneducated people who desperately want to be ’scientists’. It is so full of inconsistencies that it hurts. It only works on isolated, unsophisticated people, who desperately look for easy answers. Without wanting to offend anyone, but that is why it works best in the USA, sad, but true.
by the way, English is a foreign language to me. Can you, dear -f, argue in a language foreign to you? I guess I never laughed enogh :’(
This is my favorite website. The first time I saw it I laughed so hard I cried. I share it with other ‘un-intelligent’ people, too. They also agree it is a great site. Did I mention that according to the Stanford-Binet test my IQ is 162? Well above genius. Or that I attended highly-gifted magnet schools from second grade to senior year of HS? But hey, who believes in phony intelligence tests anyway?
Actually, I did an entire essay on the diffrence between ID and evolution, and it got published in the newspaper…Now a stupid person couldn’t do that. Plus whats the point of being intelligent if your a stuck of prude that everyone hates…Where’s the fun in that?
