Global warming concensus wrong

Our friends at Daily Kos report that the global warming models that were believed to be true by most scientists are likely wrong.

The world’s climate experts have long been making some very dire predictions about Global Warming. Because they are predictions, they rely very heavily on computer models.
Many people– especially conservatives– warned […]

Swiss article

Thanks to mike for sending me this article from the swiss french newspaper. I have no idea what it says.

keeping the faith

The BBC reports that the while the US is one of the most religious countries in the west, it is undergoing a period of doubt.
It may be daring to say it but America seems to be experiencing an atheist moment. Although “In God We Trust” was declared the national motto by an act […]

A Nation of Christians Is Not a Christian Nation

I came across this article in the New York Times a few days ago. It’s about the separation of Church and State and what the founders had in mind.
Thomas Jefferson said that his bill for religious liberty in Virginia was “meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the […]

I just kinda stumbled across you FSM website

I just kinda stumbled across your FSM website and it’s unlike anything I’ve ever heard of. I’d first of all like to say that the entire FSM idea is very brilliant (I’m not sure who thought of it, but it’s a very creative way of communicating the point of separation between church and state). I […]

World Pasta Day

Today, October 25th, is World Pasta Day. I had no idea - thanks to David for the heads up. More on this Holy day here.

Searching for God in the brain

Scientific American published an article on the the physiological cause (or effect) of religious feelings in those who claim to feel it. They studied nuns, but it could just as easily apply to hardcore pastafarians. (In our own research we’ve found that eating pasta causes a much larger surge in blood sugar than […]

The New York Times reports:
A woman who sent her Arab-American boss a threatening note that warned ”Remember 9/11” and ”You and your kids will pay” was sentenced Wednesday to eight months in a federal halfway house.

I received this email from Raz:
I just captere this picture with my camera while I take a walk to the grocery store, & I want to share this with you :P

National Geographic promotes FSM

I received the following email from Jonathon:
It is very gratifying to know that Pastafarianism is becoming a mainstream, accepted and acceptable, religion.
The October 2007 National Geographic magazine contained two articles of great interest. One was on global warming. The other was on the decline of the Malacca pirates. Although National […]

MTU Pastafarians harassed

The Michigan Tech University Pastafarian club has been the victim of harassment even before their first meeting. The MTU Lode reports:
Two individuals are currently undergoing disciplinary procedures through the Dean of Students Office after an investigation by MTU Public Safety determined that they posted a threatening message on the door of the President and […]

why would you spend so much time to take the hope or beliefs away from others?

I was just curious about why it is you think that the monster is in any way equal belief to other religions. Why exactly did you begin this religion (?), what were your thoughts? I can begin to come to my own conclusions on your thought process, but i wonder if you could exlplain it […]

Vitter earmark withdrawn

Speaking on the Senate floor on October 17, 2007, Senator David Vitter (R-Louisiana) withdrew a controversial $100,000 earmark that he previously added to the appropriations bill for the departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. The earmark was to the Louisiana Family Forum, a religious right group with a long history of promoting […]

Council of Europe recognizes Pastafarianism

Fantastic news: The Council of Europe has recognized our religion.
In its September 17, 2007 report, the parliamentary assembly mentions us.
Article 52:
In this connection, in accordance with the principle of an open attitude to the alternative theories advocated by the scientific creationists, and in order to show the illogicality of teaching intelligent design […]

fsm? what?

I stumbled upon your website and I just have to say, WHAT THE HECK? I’m trying to understand, but I just don’t get it. You invented your own religion that says pirates are holy and that we should pray to noodles? Are you on something? I’m trying to be open minded, but when I looked […]

Is this a joke?

Is this a joke? Why are you so anti-Christian that you would go so far as to try and make the government not teach any creation theory? We have heard enough outta Darwin about how the earth “evolved”. He even admitted that what he wrote he did not believe. So, that leaves Pastafarianism and Christianity. […]

Purchase the Gospel

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
