It looks like someone has not studied the rule that comedy comes in three’s. For example…
A goldfish = Not very funny
A nun and a goldfish = Kinda funny
A nun, a goldfish and a plunger = Very funny
By that rationale, let’s look at His Noodlyness….
Spaghetti = Not very funny
Flying Spaghetti = Kinda funny
Flying Spaghetti Monster = Very funny
Thus, according to the theory of comedic three’s, FSM is a lark, a scream, a laugh and a half.

ID was practially made to laugh at evolutionists, and now that science got in the last laugh with this creative twist, you are completely insulted. Typical, quite frankly.

I have been touched by his noodley appendage!The flying spaghetti monster is awesome, a creation of genius, its immenseness is immense! Also to the guy who got “pissed off”, the theory of evolution is not taught as fact few aspects of science are, its pretty much all the most logical interpretation of evidence. But that’s just it, unlike creationism there is evidence backing the theory of evolution and many of us would like to think the human race is not the product of Adam & Eve’s offspring’s continueous incest. And why are you all so offended? The flying spaghetti monster idea is barely more ridiculous than Creationism and Evolution doesn’t even necessarily contradict christian belief, after all everything evolved from something, but maybe God created that something.
Also whatever you believe in a flying spaghetti monster is still hella funny

Excatly what I’ve been thinking all along. Why couldn’t God have made evolution a part of His creation and started the universe off with the Big Bang? This is all most of us would like Creationists to –consider– as even a possibility. I’d say that the probability of this occurring would be WAY higher than spontaneous creation of higher organisms, especially since humans’ brains are much more alike other animals’ than not.

Something to do with the Third Law of Thermodynamics, I suppose. Since, the professor retired from teaching in 1962 this “student” may just be looking for someone to blame for being a tired old man.

Hey last night after eating much past I had a vision…
What if the Bible got a little messed up after all those years of translations…
You see the Spaghetti monster actually came down to earth to hang out a little. And allowed a bunch of humans to eat some of it’s many pasta tenticles so that the power of the FSM could be within each of us! Well, eventually the FSM only had one more tenticle left & Jesus ate it! Hence they called it the Last Supper!
Now, of course the FSM continues on – even after all of it’s pasta was eaten – it’s the all powerful FSM & simply regenerated itself!
Yep, it’s all clear now – those miracles of Jesus day were made possible from consuming the magical pasta! LONG LIVE FSM!
Dang those translations really got things messed up….maybe one day they will discover the lost meatball scrolls & get things straigth! :)

I think too many people think faith = religion. Look at all the top-end physicists, the ones tinkering with the stuff behind the very fabric of the universe. They’re disproving on an hourly basis what little there is left of the bible that makes any sense, but talk to any of them about where it all started, and they’re like to mention God. Because everything is just well put together. But if it wasn’t, then we wouldn’t be here and let’s not get into anthropomorphism. I’m a police officer, have been for a while and i see some pretty crappy stuff. If God expects people to thank him for half the rubbish i’ve seen go down then he should be next in front of a judge. Or the psych panel. However, i think that something somewhere lit the fuse that caused the big bang, then stood back and watched. Japanese scientists are now confident that within 10 years they can create their own universe from a black hole, so we could well be a similar product. I had a look at a few churches after my job started getting to me, maybe spiritual solace was what i was after. All the major religions seemed to have one thing in common; shut up and let us do the thinking for you. By the way, our doctrine is absolute, has never changed, will never change and is right, right, right. Which is why the earth is no longer flat (oh that was in the bible all along) the earth revolves around the sun (oh we always knew that) and i haven’t seen a witch burning in a while (well it was… metaphorical….. we didn’t really mean burn them). Stephen Hawkin presented himself and his ideas to the Pope (who is now an brown-shirt) who cogitated, ruminated got out his liquid paper and made it so quantum cosmology now works. Phew, lucky. If it wasn’t in the bible V4.20a/5 then none of these electrical products (which are the work of the devil) would work.
I don’t have a problem with faith, i have it. I have faith in my brother officers, i have faith in humankind (it’s kinda pale, but it’s still there) and i have faith that if we just got a little less intolerant, selfish, hypocritical and just plain ignorant, we’d come to see that all religions need to boil down to a few key things; treat everyone the same, don’t be such an asshole and help people that need it.
After the end of all that, i’m throwing my weight behind the FSM because he wants to think, to have fun, explore and live forever more in an afterlife filled with beer and strippers.
That’s the one for me!

@ All pastafarians, atheists, humanists, Brights, and free-thinkers,
.
Ahoy there!
.
I’m copying this post onto a few threads because I’d like as many people as possible to notice it. (Bobby, if you should read this, is there any chance of a new thread?)
.
You might have spotted on these pages Richard Dawkins’ high-profile references to the FSM, unmasking himself as at the very least an honorary pastafarian and certainly a friend of pirates the world over. He’s done his bit for the FSM – here’s a chance to return the favour.
.
His many books on evolution and, in particular, his recent book ‘The God Delusion’ have influenced a lot of people here.
.
Anyway, here in Britain, one of our national newspapers, The Daily Telegraph, in conjunction with Morgan Stanley, is running the third annual ‘Great Britons’ awards. People are invited to vote for the British person they think has been the most ‘Great’ (somehow) in each of seven categories.
.
Me salty guts tell me that a hearty lot of pirates’ll want to support their own and put their cutlasses behind Richard Dawkins, by far and away Britain’s noodliest man of 2006, and doubtless also he of the biggest meatballs.
.
I nominated him earlier today, in the ‘Campaigning’ category. You can add your nominations by visiting greatbritons.org. It takes barely a minute and might help one of the FSM’s finest sea-dogs to the gain the legendary status he deserves. You can even put in a 50-word explanation of why he gets your vote, which would probably strengthen the case (if you’ve anything to say). If you’d like to know more about him, try visiting richarddawkins.net.
.
Douglas Adams fans might like to note that Dawkins and Adams were close friends and that Adams credited Dawkins’ books ‘The Blind Watchmaker’ and ‘The Selfish Gene’ as having influenced his reasoning towards atheism. Dawkins wrote a ‘Lament for Douglas’ immediately after Adams’ death, and delivered a eulogy at his funeral.
.
I’ve a second reason for recommending this. The Telegraph ran an article by regular columnist Charles Moor on Saturday that dismissed ‘The God Delusion’ as ‘fashionable’ and gave a very selective, wilfully interpreted representation of its content. It’s a good newspaper but pretty thoroughly conservative – not an obvious place for pastafarianism to thrive. In light of this, I think it doubly worthwhile to demonstrate the strength of support that Richard enjoys among the world’s many pirates to the Telegraph.
.
(Note – I’ve left http:// off the website addresses in this post, as the first couple of times I tried to post it, it got stuck awaiting moderation. Hopefully this’ll help.)
.
Nominations for the awards continue until November 24th. If ye can spare a second of plunderin’ time, set a course for greatbritons.org and add your cannon to a broadside for free thinking and the FSM!
.
May His Noodly Appendage be upon ye all.

Pastover, which occurs on Passover(duh…), Ramendan, which occurs at Ramadan(duh…), Halloween(duh!!!), International Talk Like A Pirate Day, on September 19, and Holiday, which is pretty much all of December and January etc. If you doubt me, I have the FSM Gospel and im reading them right out of it.

Maybe God did in fact create our ancestors to evolove. Or maybe he didn’t, and we’re just an accident. If we are, I bet he’s kicking himself.
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

Much as I hate to miss a chance to jump on the Kick A Republican In The Head bandwagon, I have to admit: young-republican seems to appreciated the point of the site perfectly. No real arguments with you there, y-r.

I think too many people think faith = religion. Look at all the top-end physicists, the ones tinkering with the stuff behind the very fabric of the universe. They’re disproving on an hourly basis what little there is left of the bible that makes any sense, but talk to any of them about where it all started, and they’re like to mention God. Because everything is just well put together. But if it wasn’t, then we wouldn’t be here and let’s not get into anthropomorphism. I’m a police officer, have been for a while and i see some pretty crappy stuff. If God expects people to thank him for half the rubbish i’ve seen go down then he should be next in front of a judge. Or the psych panel. However, i think that something somewhere lit the fuse that caused the big bang, then stood back and watched. Japanese scientists are now confident that within 10 years they can create their own universe from a black hole, so we could well be a similar product. I had a look at a few churches after my job started getting to me, maybe spiritual solace was what i was after. All the major religions seemed to have one thing in common; shut up and let us do the thinking for you. By the way, our doctrine is absolute, has never changed, will never change and is right, right, right. Which is why the earth is no longer flat (oh that was in the bible all along) the earth revolves around the sun (oh we always knew that) and i haven’t seen a witch burning in a while (well it was… metaphorical….. we didn’t really mean burn them). Stephen Hawkin presented himself and his ideas to the Pope (who is now an brown-shirt) who cogitated, ruminated got out his liquid paper and made it so quantum cosmology now works. Phew, lucky. If it wasn’t in the bible V4.20a/5 then none of these electrical products (which are the work of the devil) would work.
I don’t have a problem with faith, i have it. I have faith in my brother officers, i have faith in humankind (it’s kinda pale, but it’s still there) and i have faith that if we just got a little less intolerant, selfish, hypocritical and just plain ignorant, we’d come to see that all religions need to boil down to a few key things; treat everyone the same, don’t be such an asshole and help people that need it.
After the end of all that, i’m throwing my weight behind the FSM because he wants to think, to have fun, explore and live forever more in an afterlife filled with beer and strippers.
That’s the one for me!

We’re not quite the full cult, however I do believe we have all the makings of a serious religion. (except for all the hate stuff and the tax breaks).
Hmm………wonder if your superiors will let you swap your uniform for pirate garb occasionally? Maybe while you’re directing traffic, if you ever do that sort of thing?

Maybe directing Maritime traffic, at the horbour entrance perhaps. It would be ideal. All the shipping ropes could be ’spaghetti look’ as well.

I’m thinking about rigging up one of those home-made hot air balloons, where you get a bag with a candle suspended below it, but of course it will be pasta-fied. Then the world will be treated to a vision of His Noodly Appendage flying over the landscape. When are the religious holidays? I’m if going pastafarian then i’ll need to observe the proper rituals. Where’d i put that eye-patch?……

Do you know, I need to find out the religious holidays myself so I can book the time off work. I hope they respect my obvious religious needs rather than continue to brutally oppress my culture.

@ All pastafarians, atheists, humanists, Brights, and free-thinkers,
.
Ahoy there!
.
I’m copying this post onto a few threads because I’d like as many people as possible to notice it. (Bobby, if you should read this, is there any chance of a new thread?)
.
You might have spotted on these pages Richard Dawkins’ high-profile references to the FSM, unmasking himself as at the very least an honorary pastafarian and certainly a friend of pirates the world over. He’s done his bit for the FSM – here’s a chance to return the favour.
.
His many books on evolution and, in particular, his recent book ‘The God Delusion’ have influenced a lot of people here.
.
Anyway, here in Britain, one of our national newspapers, The Daily Telegraph, in conjunction with Morgan Stanley, is running the third annual ‘Great Britons’ awards. People are invited to vote for the British person they think has been the most ‘Great’ (somehow) in each of seven categories.
.
Me salty guts tell me that a hearty lot of pirates’ll want to support their own and put their cutlasses behind Richard Dawkins, by far and away Britain’s noodliest man of 2006, and doubtless also he of the biggest meatballs.
.
I nominated him earlier today, in the ‘Campaigning’ category. You can add your nominations by visiting greatbritons.org. It takes barely a minute and might help one of the FSM’s finest sea-dogs to the gain the legendary status he deserves. You can even put in a 50-word explanation of why he gets your vote, which would probably strengthen the case (if you’ve anything to say). If you’d like to know more about him, try visiting richarddawkins.net.
.
Douglas Adams fans might like to note that Dawkins and Adams were close friends and that Adams credited Dawkins’ books ‘The Blind Watchmaker’ and ‘The Selfish Gene’ as having influenced his reasoning towards atheism. Dawkins wrote a ‘Lament for Douglas’ immediately after Adams’ death, and delivered a eulogy at his funeral.
.
I’ve a second reason for recommending this. The Telegraph ran an article by regular columnist Charles Moor on Saturday that dismissed ‘The God Delusion’ as ‘fashionable’ and gave a very selective, wilfully interpreted representation of its content. It’s a good newspaper but pretty thoroughly conservative – not an obvious place for pastafarianism to thrive. In light of this, I think it doubly worthwhile to demonstrate the strength of support that Richard enjoys among the world’s many pirates to the Telegraph.
.
(Note – I’ve left http:// off the website addresses in this post, as the first couple of times I tried to post it, it got stuck awaiting moderation. Hopefully this’ll help.)
.
Nominations for the awards continue until November 24th. If ye can spare a second of plunderin’ time, set a course for greatbritons.org and add your cannon to a broadside for free thinking and the FSM!
.
May His Noodly Appendage be upon ye all.

Don Lardini said “I need to find out the religious holidays myself so I can book the time off work” the holidays are as follows. Pastover, which occurs on Passover(duh…), Ramendan, which occurs at Ramadan(duh…), Halloween(duh!!!), International Talk Like A Pirate Day, on September 19, and Holiday, which is pretty much all of December and January etc. If you doubt me, I have the FSM Gospel and im reading them right out of it.

I thought Ramendan was the entire month of October. And someone on the discussion forum put up a bunch of saint days in the section about ancient lore and stories and such.

“When I tell other religions this they give copies of their religious texts, but when I come here they demand $14.00 for a short little book… ”
if you don’t have an extra $14.00 then you don’t deserve to belong to this religion.

Not *completely* sure I agree with that. I haven’t spotted the FSM discriminating against potential followers who are short of change. He might advise them to plunder some booty from a heathen, possibly.

$14 is about what Olive Garden charges for a plate of pasta. So, for twenty eight bucks you can read about the FSM and eat him too! Such a deal. What other religion can claim this? The marvels of His Starchiness never ceases to amaze me.

Maybe God did in fact create our ancestors to evolove. Or maybe he didn’t, and we’re just an accident. If we are, I bet he’s kicking himself.
