I purchased the book “God is Not Great” in 2007 and I have purchased The Gospel and will be receiving it in 2008.
Surely this is a sign from his Saucyness! Getting this information publicized to show that he is watching me and my literature-purchasing habits!

Irate Pirate,
That seems like wishful thinking at best, but in the interests of fairness, there’s plenty of sugar-coated, mindless garbage that has not been filed under intelligent design, although it could given the vagueness of the statements it makes.
If they would just *say* that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe, then it would be a lot easier to teach.

If “God is Not Great” is a reference to the Hitchens book, then is it not actually spelled “god is not Great”?
If it is the case that the paper is referencing that book, then good work Washington Post. Time to fire an editor.

This was all prophesied in the Book of Recipes!
Book of Recipes Chapter 32:12-17
12. For verily in the last days shall the posts be moved, sayeth the intelligent designer, and then shalt his holy sauce pour upon the meaty balls.
13. Yea, even in the hollow bowl shall we spool together, delighting in the wholesome goodness that is our savior.
14. Yet, those who knoweth not the righteousness of hath not been touched by the noodly appendage, and indeed shall experience only the stale beer and venereal disease of eternity.
15. Teach the world that the meaty balls shall drip when lifted on high, as they are covered in the holy sauce. RAmen.
16. When thou sayest “Aaargh!” or “Avast yeh scurvy dogs, we’ll keelhaul yeh from stem to stern!”, do it not as the infidels would, yet in the true spirit of Pastafarianism, and the hedonistic permissiveness of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (Blessed be his holy sauce.) When in or out of favor, your utterances must be pleasing to the touch of the noodly appendage.
17. Yield unto temptation, for verily it may not return. Thou shalt eat that which is placed before you, and enjoy it.
Learned commentary:
After much prayer, meditation, deep thought and inebriation, it is my considered opinion based on the scriptures of the Book of Recipes that our beloved FSM (holy be his sauce) has taken over our revered media institutions.
In the near future, as predicted in verses 13, 14, and 17, new programming shall appear on networks as well as online venues such as youtube.
* Touched by a Noodle — Lovable pirates bring miracles to everyday lives. Season one features turning wine into water, spoon bending, cold readings, and faith healing.
* 24% — A tense drama focusing on the hunt for unbelievers in Amerika. TrueChristians(TM) patrol the neighborhoods, saving believers from false “theories” like evolution, gravity, and relativity.
* Cooking with Bobby — In the kitchen with the FSM and special guests, including Allah, Buddha, Yaweh, and Thor. In episode one, Thor demonstrates how to tenderize human flesh the old fashioned way. Episode two features Yaweh, demonstrating tectonic shake and bake. Special guest Allah and the ever provocative Satan show us some tempting desserts.
At the Institute of Religious Prognostication, where I received my advanced degrees, this has long been common knowledge. Now, with the Post finally tipping its hand, the new worldwide conversion to true FSMism may begin, aided by the magic wonders of the world as he created it.
This means the days of stripper factories and beer volcanoes are near. READ the scriptures!!!
In the name of the noodles, the balls, and the holy sauce,

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
