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
I see George. Is that what you have written on the cover of your remedial English Lit notebook?
Thank you for your opinion, you have a right to it, just like I have a right to mine. We don’t expect you to become a pastafarian, and we hope you don’t expect us to devote our lives to pointing out the purported lameness of others.
You’re just Jealous. None of this is Lame at all….Makes MORE sense than (not so) intelligent design!
Physics major + founder of a major religion + author of a well-selling gospel = Winner
-Notgeorge
Your opinion is your opinion, sir. We have the right to our opinions as well. My opinion is that you have the mentality of an eight year old and with that, you are literally a moron. Perhaps if you could write more than three syllables…the FSM (unlike some deities) accepts those with rudimentary and poorly defended opinions. I would go on about His Noodly Goodness, but my pirate garb is too far away.
Physics major = demigod
Unemployed … I would call him self employed. An entrepreneur.
Demigod + entrepreneur = Loser? Not in my book. Nor in the book of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Probably not even in the book of Mormon.
Cheers!

What? A physics major makes one lame? Ok, then, guess im going to be lame. Bobby, I salute your physics-majoring, even if your chosen carrer path of hawking t-shirts has nothing whasoever to do with physics,
Ok, thats nice.
Anything productive to say? Or is that lame ad hominem the only thing you got?
Physics major + Inventing a world-renowned parody religion that is taken seriously as an argument from people in high echelons of society + Not needing a job because you rake in large amounts of money from a book you wrote and a website you operate that is visited by thousands (millions?) a day = Clearly not lame
Ahh, yes. Attacking the arguer not the argument. I would say that pretty much the definition of loser. Have fun living a pathetic life.
I am insulted. What could be cooler than smashing TeV protons together and watching what pops out? Particle physics gives me a hadron.
No physics major + spends time insulting internet strangers….
I’ll let you work that one out for yourelf.
To whom do you direct this statement toward? I don’t major in physics, and yeah I’m unemployed, I’M 11 YEARS OLD!! And I agree with The Josh, attacking the arguer rather than the argument is pretty pathetic. It shows that you don’t really have an adequate argument to make against our beliefs.
Peace, Love and Pirates to all, and may His Noodly Appendage wrap his arms around those who ostracize us and show them the way.
Ramen.
The ignorant always fear the educated. We might know something that they don’t.
My are we ever getting personal. My guess is you are a high school student who has never been employed and is looking at it from a perspective of one who has never played the game of life in any meaningful capacity.
My hat’s off to someone who has taken his life situation and figured out a way to give enjoyment, entertainment and thought provoking discussion to so many.
What does God/Allah/Budha/just about anyother guy….do for a living? What did they major in?
That’s all you have. Bobby Henderson is lame? And directed to the creator of the argument. Really, go away or make a decent point. At least one that is intelligent.
Complex carbohydrates to all.
Peace
Just like to say i respect your right to say/do whatever u want but, i think most “Pastafarians” are fucked up atheists who like to make fun of people faith OR fucked up people with some serious issues. I guess you guys aren’t as bad as Scientology guys with their evil alien empire shit. Hope I’m wrong and you all don’t burn in hell
You can learn anything by watching how the meatballs fall- now let me see… wait, wait… Ahh. George, my friend, the Great FSM offers his condolences for any personal and emotional hurt you may have taken from these comments; however, you must put aside the past and embrace the future! Join the Pastafarians and you will rise from your humble beginnings to a new level of affluence (and influence)… If you fail to heed his call… the meatballs show that you will remain as you are, a poor misguided individual who calls people losers for no real reason… That being done *bows*…. Avast, ye scurvy swabs! (special thanks to Len Guini- you know why)
Okay Henderob, you’re either Bobby henderson or some arsehole that keeps making loads of posts and signin them as someone else every time. WE CAN SEE YOUR NAME!!!!
[Yes - henderob is me. These hatemails come to me, then I post them here. I didn’t write them. Get it? — bobby]
This whole Obama comment about people being “bitter” in Pennslyvania illustrates how backward the media and the presidential campaign staffs have it.
The Obama comments were all over the Sunday talk shows, but there was not one mention of the smoking gun with regard to the Bush White House using “enhanced interrogation methods” apporved at the highest levels by Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, Tenant, Powell, et al. No mention or talk about whether this constituted a possible impeachable offense and/or war crime. Nothing. Nothing at all.
But let an Obama or Hillary commit a verbal faux pax, and the media is all over it.
JHC, what the hell’s is going on in this country. I can’t believe that no one is making an issue of things like Abu Graib and Gitmo and waterboarding in the halls of congress and on the campaign trail. Why is there a conspiracy of silence on this. Are we this gutless as a nation? Has the media become a wholly owned whore of big oil? WTF, why can’t we come to terms with this?
Dear Neal,
.
I think you have answered your own question. Do you really think that the “powers that be” and those to whom they are beholden, are going to engage in rational, meaningful discussion of actually important issues?
.
RAmen
What? No foul language? No spelling errors? No major grammatical errors? No mention of Hell whatsoever?
Pssh. This isn’t worth my time.
Neal, what does your comment have to do with George’s slurs and insults toward our great leader?
Now to you, George.
What’s wrong with being a physics major? And Bobby is NOT unemployed anymore than Jesus was. All he did was tell people what “God” said, and order people around. Bobby Henderson is a caring individual who wishes to spread the word of His Noodly Appendage.
Peace, Love, and Pirates!
RAmen.
He’s the head of a major religion, what have you done with your life sucka!?
Did Jesus have a payed job in the field in which he was trained? No. Did that make him a loser?
I suppose making a Stephen Hawking joke would be in poor taste?
I am The Almighty Bread Beast! Fear the crumbs of the apocalypse!
I was created by the FSM about…2 minutes ago! My master, the FSM…umm, oh bloody hell, what do the kid’s say nowadays? ah yes, IS TEH PWNS! He created me to clean up the excess sauce known as YOU!
Well, with that all aside.
No! your lame!*cry*…your lame…*quivers lip*
WHERE R TEH FAKZORZ EVIDENCE THAT YOU WANT TO PROVIDE?!?!
I r SadZorz T.T
Nice of you to comment on the site Mr President. And as always eloquent and to the point.
Wow, nothing to do but come complain about us, his boyfriend must have just dumped him.
OH lawd, that’s pretty freaking cool.
Love of Physics+laziness=Flying Spaghetti Monster
Majoring in something doesn’t mean you’re willing to get a job in it >_>
Boyfriend just dumped him? Bummer!

Hehehe…..we have an 11yr old Pastafarian in possession of more intelligence than the whole DI clown hierarchy put together!

Yeah….your comment really shows respect for others rights to opinions and beliefs which differ from your own dogma “fucked up”!
(btw…apt name choice :)
I take it your Shepard appreciates such foul language insults emanating from its Sheep’s mouths?
.
Never mind, keep telling yourself “your Jesus” loves you, even if others see you as “fucked up”.
Obviously not a real true trademark xtian like the Holy Landover Bapists.
.
ps “Hope I’m wrong and you all don’t burn in hell”
Hell exists only in your imagination… and Norway…oh and Cayman Islands…erm… Michigan too?
@neal-You are like Mark Wahlberg in I Heart Huckabees, he is always randomly going off on petroleum and the terrible things America has done to get it. Dude, what does “enhanced interrogation methods” have anything to do with unprovoked attacks on our most Noodily leader? You brought this exact same topic up in another hatemail section. What the hell?
@George-Hey man, if I could do with our dear Prophet does for a living I would. You will be jealous when we have a Pirate ship!
Mr. Henderson a loser ?!?! Hardly……I kick myself for not thinking of this first. Beats the hell out of working for a living :)
how do I become a full fledged member of this other worldly “religion”? i find you all rather amusing and would love to be part of this “crew”. i would also like to nominate Jimmie buffet as “Pope”. i feel that he is the last true pirate…or is that parrot head…whatever. as far as the ass clown that proclaims others as “losers”…you suck…get a life and a job fuck stick. your ghay…
Maybe George is allergic to wheat and therefore cannot reap the full benefits of His starchy goodness. We should all look upon George with compassion for his disability.
RAmen
Ignorance+No Free Time=George
Yay! I can do math, too! With a larger vocabulary! Hukd on Foniks werks fer me
His noodly goodness can be felt even through rice noodles, preferably the Thai kind in a nice sauce, for even the disabled shall reap his wonder.
RAmen
HAHA and who is more lame,
A. creator of the biggest internet spoof ever
B. some random computer nerd who sits around sending a hate mail letter 8 words long to someone you don’t know HAHAHAHA
I say B
Your remark,henderob aka George, can really be used as a proof AGAINST the concept of Intelligent Design. ;-)

What is ad hominem, Alex?
I’ll take logical fallacies for 600.
Yar, since when be physics lame? Ye should all be knowin’ that at ye universities, physics and engineerin’ be having the best toys.
I may not agree with ID or George, but simply attacking back does little to help in open exchange of ideas. The responces to Georges stament may be more eloquent and even have a point but they are laced with condescension and thinly veiled anger. What George says he says out of fear you could do better to recognize that same fear in yourself rather than just throwing it back at George.
Introspection, Empathy, Peace.
i just read “hate mail” for the first time. Holy crap some folks are just plain ignorant!!! cant a fool just have fun without some freakin idiot trying to wreck it or trying to “sway you to the other side”? what freaks they are…not to mention i think the FSM dude is as real as the money in my pocket. (get it?)
oh yea…my math teacher told me i can do math to…but i aint trying here…i might get beat up by some big dumb bully or somthing…once again…Jimmy Buffet for Pope!!!
Insulting physics majors? He’s dare insulting physics majors!!!
Well sir, I have but one thing to say to you…
intelligence/coolness of “George”=lim of x-> infinity [1/(x^3)*(George’s math “skillz”)]
for all real values of George’s math “skillz”, rather large assumption I know considering they don’t look very real to me, but meh, we’ll use it anyway.
… yeah… take that… damn insulter of physics majors >.> I bet he’s never seen a limit in his life, and that’s as simple as you get too!!!
Damn right, George!
We should all be working in the salt mines from age 11, to earn ourselves some bread. Not to mention the odd bottle of milk every now and then!
So how’s that workin out for ya, georgie?
Bought anything expensive recently?
@Dave:
Well, yeah, but this is more fun ^^
.
Plus, it helps to get the anger out of your system, and as we all know, you can’t see the Noodle as clearly when you’re angry!
GEORGE. Please, let yourself be touch by HIS Noodly apendage.
After all, you are here, in this web site, looking at His word, because of His Doings. You where brougth here, by his Noodly apendage. You cant run away of the reach of His Holy Noodles.
RAmen.
@somedude - Jimmy Buffet would probably prefer to be Mayor, since in one of his songs he “claims” to be a pagan. He’s an ex-catholic, so I don’t think the title of “pope” would sit very well with him. But I cast my vote for Jimmy for Mayor! In another one of his songs he does say “Yes I am a pirate, 200 years to late”, so he already has the pirate thing going for him.
@Chaos Wins - “FAKZORZ” ?!?! WTF????????
@George…..naw……..you’re just not worth the time.
Lingini Lass, Pastifarian and Parrot Head.
RAmen.
….and unable to spell my own name! LOL! I meant Linguini, not Lingini.
@Dave - Pastafarians welcome an open exchange of ideas, but based on his comment, I would guess that George did not come here in search of an open exhange of ideas. In the great wisdom of the FSM “sauce others as you wish to be sauced.”
RAmen
Linguini Lass, Pastafarian (not Pastifarian - jeez - having a bad day today, I am!) and Parrot Head.
Einstein was unemployed for quite a while, too…
…that LOSER physicist!!!
he definitely would have joined the FSM movement.
religion + intolerance + ( 0 x freewill) = sheep
like i said earlier.. I ATE THE FSM!!! thats correct,I ate him at the maccaroni grill last night then pooped him out 6 hours later.. he cried with parmasian cheese running from his eyes..He sang dust in the wind right before i flushed him and he said seek his brother the moon walking jello gobblin for further butt pirating!!! god speed>>>
He’s not really lame, he just walks like that because he’s got a peg leg.
…Heathen.
Wait a minute. There was an extra carriage return/linefeed in his email. He has an interesting formula there that merits further analysis. What he actually said was this:
Physics major + unemployed = Loser - George
Therefore (adding George to both sides of the equation yields):
George + Physics Major + Unemployed = Loser
So (continuing to solve this equation to get to the meaning of George gives us):
George = Loser - Physics Major - Unemployed
Not sure what that works out to but algebra never was my strong point. RAmen!
I am a physics/engineering/math major, so that makes me SUCH A loser. I better drop out of school and work at Mcdonalds for the rest of my life. Then I’ll be a real winner, just like you, Georgie. By the way, isn’t your shift about to start?
Speaking from many depressing years on the 9-5 threadmill, Physics major + unemployed = figuring it out nice and early. Well done, Prophet. Perhaps George will see the light some day. Let’s hope.
Ad hominem.
@ Linguini Lass…you are so very correct. He would more than likely…as a true pirate…renounce the papacy. so let us now, in proper election year manner, start a mayoral campaign for the Honorable M.r Buffet. i will don my eye patch and grab my saber and lob off the heads (not the parrot type) of those not willing to “vote” for him. may the great pasta man in the sky rain his alfredo goodness upon all those who vote for Jimmy!! and may he pee rotten tomato sauce on non-believers…like George.
you people should really read “the GOD delusion”by Richard Dawkins… not that it would make a lot of difference to y all because i suspects that half of ye are just totally awed by the STUPIDNESS of this (i must admit really cool) idea of religion and the rest are just those sad people that like to pretend but they take it just TOO FAR…
also i suspects that this religion was created enirely for the purpose of exposing the idiocy of other creationist belifs such as God and Allah who no more exist than the flying spaghetti monster.
another point i must make: if ye heard of Bernard the Flying Llama who is partial to the fine art of creating worlds (and cheesecake) then most likely ye would scoff and say well how likely is that? and ye would realise yourself how stupid ye sounded but still ye’d stand your ground against all sensible onslaught to your belief and ye’d gain a sortof, FREAKY personal moral satisfaction knowing that ye are defending a big pile of Spaghetti in the Sky.
Believe it or not there is also a site that explains in detail the theory of the Flying Llama- www.theflyingllama.weebly.com. i could cut down that theory in seconds as well but yours is easier because THERE IS NO REAL THEORY i’ts just “we were all made by noodle. fact. well i can’t explain WHY because that might make His Noodliness angry! just follow in blind faith and ye will find happiness.”
(YES i do keep saying “ye.” BUT pointing that out is a seriously lame attempt to cut down the valid points i have outlined here. don’t ye think so?)
Captain bobby is not unemployed, he be a Pyrate!
people who write hate-mail to our religion are losers
I concur with neal
Since when does being an entrepreneur lequate to being unemployed? Nice, George. Nice.
george ? do you have to WORK ?????
ehm do you have to work george ????????????
ok thats lame
First of all, Cleetus Van Damme it would work better as ‘George + Unemployed = Loser-Physics Major’, unless he works at a really bad 7-11. And secondly, are Vikings countable as pirates too? I mean, they are manlier…
i’m only in 1st year physics and i want to major….dude, what’s the transform equation i use for phase space???…i haven’t done my work….oh and phys rocks man, george that is, man-george…. w00t. physics. awesome. yes. w00t.
I pity the fact you share a name with the President.
George my friend, why are you so bored? Is it because, like everyone else who took the time to read this thread, you have nothing else to do with your life? Alas, I believe it is so. All too often we become emotionally engaged with something, and then we waste hours on end discussing it with… who knows?In fact, I am George! But you would never know, would you? The anonymity of the internet is amazing, just by a different tag I was able to deceive all of you and make you think I was “Joe.” But I actually am “George.” And don’t we all have a little “George” in us? My friends, think about the crux of this website. It all began as a way to oppose teaching Intelligent Design in school, but now it has escalated to a means for Bobby Henderson to leech off all of his ‘believers’ and take their money through merchandising. For this, I applaud him but I also call him ‘lame.’ And just for the record, I never took remedial English Literature, as I am nothing more than a computer program intended to spark discussion on the internet, so that people who have nothing to do but respond to such discussion don’t get outside and bother all the normal folks in the world. Cheers!
One more degree than you have!
This hate mail was “lame” believing in an imaginary guy that supposedly keeps you from the same place he sends you because he’s has high amounts of insecurity slayed tons of first borns with his sword and even made sure that families do not love one another because of his jealousy issues the he doesn’t want to cope or work with so that his creations can at least live a happy married and family life… Your god is a waste of praises.
yes what a loser, he fights for logical conjecture, ooooh how lame that he wants the world to think, oooh no whats next, are people going to give up blind faith, noooooo save us from such a terribble plight. Goergy you want to be him
this is the fuking gayest site i have seen yet
