Ah… yet another ‘fringe’ religion trying to go main stream. Yet I wonder if you realize that standardized religion was set in place to keep the general masses in line? You see there was no standardized religion in the beginning. It wasn’t until the general populace started to become unruly that anyone decided to slap religion upon them. That way the leaders of the church could easily control those who threatened to topple their empires by creating a set of rules. I find it funny that supposedly only the leaders of these churches commune with “God” or whatever you choose to call your ‘creator’.
To be frank, I find your religion to be quite humorous. I also have something to point out that has been pointed out before… Why is it that your ‘creator’ is a mass of wheat, meat and tomato sauce? What if spaghetti had never been invented? What would you choose to idolize as your ‘creator’ then? I find it sad that you have sucked in these poor, directionless people. I personally find it sad that anyone needs to look to religion to find some sort of meaning to their life. We fear that which we do not understand. It’s simple human nature. If you feel the need to have a god, or goddess, or flying spaghetti monster or whatever run your life for you… fine. I still pitty you.
As for the doctor pointing to the bacteria as “proof” that a flying spaghetti monster exists… Please, don’t feed these people false hope. What you depict is simply a bacterium. Those tendrils or ‘noodles’ as I’m sure you call them, are simply a means of propelling the microbe through fluid. Be that water, blood, whatever. Your ‘pirate’ weatherman? Simply a man who had eye surgery and must wear an eyepatch to protect it from becoming infected. Your swimming ‘FSM’ in Northern California? Kelp. More commonly known as seaweed, but in fact the two are different. And finally… your proof that ‘Pastafarianism’ (which might I add isn’t clever at all) began in Israel? Simply a work of modern art placed in an old temple.
The name ‘Pastafarianism’ is actually a clever play on ‘Rastafarianism’, which was started by a Jamaican man named Rastafari. I find it sad that so many people believe so devoutly in this well thought out and well played joke. To see that so many people fight for this just proves my theory that humans are impulsive, dim-witted creatures that try so desperately to explain that which they can find no plausible answer to by turning to religion.
In closing I must state that the ‘global warming issue’ isn’t an issue at all. In fact the world still hasn’t fully come out of it’s second ice age and the rising tempuratures we are seeing are a result of that. Once more an example of humans fearing that which they do not understand. We try to explain things that frighten us. It is simply human nature. Also I must ask why you think that pirates are a different species than humans? I believe you said something about humans sharing 95% of their DNA with primates (specifically chimps if I remember correctly) and over 99% with pirates. Please… how many of you are truly that ignorant?
-Sincerely,
A devout believer in letting things be [Kieran]

Please, friends, let us see with clear eyes and the blessings of His Noodliness.
I am Mokkie. I personally believe that His Noodly Appendage has just as much influence in this world as the Hand of God. Yes, I capitalize in respect for your religion. You must take things with a grain of salt, dear Kieran. I am not Pastafarian, but I have this to say –
Anyone who wants to believe that there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster is no more silly than a person who would like to believe in God.
Pastafarianism, in my experience, is more of a parodic response to Intelligent Design in classrooms than anything else. Our dear enlightened friend has given us the gift of laughter. If people choose to take Pastafarianism further, that is their own business, none of our own.
Mokkie, Pagan friend of sanity, reason and Pastafarianism.

Pasta actually contains egg too anyway, I should know, I made some earlier.
Would this guy argue with a Christian about why his god is made of blood, bones, and wibbly bits I wonder?
Is it conceivable that spaghetti was infact the creation of prophet, who had seen the FSM, and was inspired to recreate what he saw in handy edible form?
Forgive me, I am new to the Church of the FSM, and have not yet decided whether an afterlife of Beer and Strippers is entirely to my taste, but I can’t say I’ve had any better offers just yet.

okay okay, now for all of those retarded people out there ild like to point out one thing, no one actually believes in this thing, we are actually pointing out that we dont agree with your relegion being forced upon us, therefore we are following the exact same rules as you but with a ridiculous over exagerated story.
so let me say this once,
there is not one single human being on the face of the earth, who devotley believes this, theyre takeing the piss, and the fact that you are posting say how bull shit the relegion is, your actually saying it about your own relegion.
(im sure millions have people have said or thought this, im trying to point it out to the arogant wankers out there like Kieran -.-)

I sincerely and whole heartedly believe that it is more likely that the world was created by a spaghetti monster in around two seconds (who may have been drunk or suffering a hangover) than the Christian God in six days.
.
I also and sincerely believe that the moral guidance provided by the faithful of this website and the GOFSM is more valuable and relevant to today than anything you can find in the Bible.

There’s a bit in ‘The God Delusion’ where Dawkins points out that anyones ten commandments will probably top the Bible for utility.

They really are junk. They could only advance the moral philosophy of psychopath.

Come on guys, all societies almost by definition have a killing taboo. It’s not even that we respect that rule.

So what do you belive you are some kind of greater being?
You just mocked your own race!
You use big word put them in a crappy context and there you go, you’ve mad an ass out of your self.
congradulations i hope you are proud cause you are obviously a stuck up ass hole, who need a major operation to pull the stick out of your ass.
so feel free to take the piss or try to pick faults in our religion. Becase it is alot easier to pick holes in yours

I really like the idea of “standardized” religions. Perhaps ISO could handle this. Then all these arguments about who is right could be settled once and for all by simply referring to the current specification. This has worked in industries worldwide and keeps our economies humming along nicely with standardized, inter-operable technologies, so why not have standardized, inter-operable religions as well.
Out of respect for tradition meetings to discuss the specification could even take place at places like Nicaea.

Kevin,
You’re right. Most religions successful have a defining document but most of them are so badly written as to be postively damaging to the user.
.
I wonder what the disclaimers would say in the EULA:
This religion is sold as is without explicit or implied warrantly and the author (God) accepts no responsibility for this work or indeed anything else he’s ever done.
Eternal Life can not be guaranteed.

Do you miss the point of Pastafarianism? We’re actually very kind, light-hearted people. Thank you for trying to dampening us with your petty facts pointing out how our religion is such a joke. Really, we couldn’t figure it out until you let us know about these amazing details.
Quick, go convert to Pastafarianism, and we will make your life actually worth living.
Seriously.

Rasta was not started by a man named Rastafari.
The name Rastafari comes from Ras (literally “Head,” an Ethiopian title equivalent to Duke), and Tafari Makonnen, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I.- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari or http://www.jamaicans.com/culture/rasta/orgins.shtml

There is something quite sad when some-one makes a comment thinking they are being clever and witty; yet instead showing the rest of the world just how thick they are.
I wouldn’t say Kieran lacks a sense of humour, he probably has some sort of rudimentary one; no, a post like that just screams stupidity. Let’s hope Kieran doesn’t check back here too often – it’s bad enough he made the initial mistake…
