A question posed to Yahoo:
Does the flying spaghetti monster really exist?

I was very impressed by the number of Pastafarians who responded. Some of my favorite answers:
He is real (or at least as real as your [...]

In the letter sent by you to the Kansas School Board you state:
“It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request that this alternative theory be [...]

Rastafarian faces punishment
Published by Bobby Henderson September 28th, 2007 in General FSM news. ClosedBen Daly, a high school student in Leakey, Texas is having trouble with his school district after refusing to cut his hair. It’s against his religious values as a Rastafarian, he says.
“We take citing from Old Testament, stating you’re not suppose to cut your hair,” Daly said.

Published by Bobby Henderson September 26th, 2007 in General FSM news, Spread the Word and pirates. ClosedThales spotted this giant billboard in the Cordoba, Argentina airport. Notice the Pirate Fish. Lindsay spotted a similar ad in an Argentine magazine several months ago - posted here.

Okay, it’s great to have a bit of a laugh, and I did when I read the bit about ‘our God having bigger balls than yours’ but I think you guys are taking it too far.
10 million people? Get real. No-one believes in that [...]
Senator earmarks funds for Creationist group
Published by Bobby Henderson September 24th, 2007 in General FSM news. ClosedAccording to this source, Senator David Vitter, R-La, earmarked $100k in a spending bill for a Lousiana Creationist group that has challenged the teaching of Darwinian Evolution in the public school system.
The bill specifies the payment is “to develop a plan to promote better science education.”
So, I’m wondering - shouldn’t the scientific community have [...]

Published by Bobby Henderson September 22nd, 2007 in General FSM news. ClosedNebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers filed a lawsuit against God a few days ago, asking the court to order Him and His followers to stop making terrorist threats.

I see the resemblance
Published by Bobby Henderson September 22nd, 2007 in General FSM news and sightings. ClosedThanks to Christine for sending this picture. I do see a resemblance to the FSM.
Dustin Hu sent this today. I think it’s very good.

Published by Bobby Henderson September 17th, 2007 in Hate Mail (and concerned criticism). 174 CommentsI’ve never been one to bash other people’s religions, but I just think that what you have started is ridiculous. As someone else on the site said, pasta wasn’t created until the 1600’s, how could a flying spaghetti monster create the world, when spaghetti wasn’t even created yet? And about that Tibetan painting, it’s not [...]
