Here’s a video of Dr. Michael Shermer, founder of The Skeptics Society, speaking on beliefs and religion. At around 4:00 he mentions the FSM and addresses a Pastafarian in the crowd. He also mentions a rift amongst Pastafarians – disputes over the width of the FSM’s noodles. He seems genuinely concerned that this schism could damage our community.

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

Will we call this schism the Pastafarian Reformation?

How would we even know the width of his noodles? He makes himself invisible, so the majority of us have never even seen him. Perhaps he changes the shape/size of his noodles to accompany the several different types; rice, wide, stringy, normal, etc.

It is so nice to see FSM being placed, at least figuratively, on the same serving tray as the more socially accepted deities.

While I admire Dr. Shermer a great deal, he is not infallible. There is no rift in Pastafarism concerning the dimensions of the FSM’s Noodle. I think he was just trying to get a rise out of the brother/sister in the audience.
The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has all the information we need. There is no mention of Noodle size, so there can be no controversy. And even if there were grounds for some divergent views, we know that the FSM would be manipulating the data to confound us.

How could we possibly have disputes over that? Our Noodly Lord can change any measurement we could possibly make to determine the width of his noodles, so we have no way to ever determine this width for certain.
Come to think of it, this is good new. Now we’re like every other religion, I guess.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

However, and I think I speak for the entire church when I say this, while the width of our Noodly creators appendages may be in question, our beliefs and unity have never been stronger.

Thick or thin, whole-grain or white, we’re all Pastafarians :D

There are many kinds of noodles, in Japan we have sanmamen, tanmen, tonkotsu ramen, and tan tan men. They are not different entities but of the same substance of his holy noodliness.
How could there be a rift?

The noodles are all one-dimensional anyway…that is the basis of Noodle/string Theory! If they are just lines, it doesn’t matter how they curl-they can be construed as anything.

I thought the width of his noodles were angelhair pasta, hence the holy name for it.

If He is infinitely powerful, we can assume He is infinitely noodly. Since He has an infinite number of noodles, he must have all possible noodle widths.

The Noodly One is from a dimension where length, width, depth, height or even time are irrelevant. He created all those things for us.

Whoa! What is wrong with you people? He is the Flying SPAGETTI Monster. Therefore, is made up of standard spagetti. That is a type of pasta people. If it were to be questioned on the size of the spagetti noodles, well, standard of course. If not, he would be the Flying Thin Spagetti Monster. However, that is not the case. If you need an example, come over for dinner sometime and take part in his flesh with me. We will then have a living specimen. Don’t worry about the blasphemy of the whole thing, Christians symbolically eat their god’s flesh all the time.

I think that all of FSM’s noodly appendages are a different size, for each has a different purpose. Some are for holding us on Earth, some for creating mountains and trees and midgets, some for caressing us gently and lovingly, and others for many other purposes.
May FSM be praised, in all His noodly goodness, whatever size those noodles may be.

While I KNOW that the FSM is pure #8 spagehtti, I have heard others claim HE/SHE/IT (“HSI”) is really linguini, and some think that HSI is more complex, like tortelini.
Are those people really FSMers? Should they be crucified for their beliefs. Well since the FSM wants us all to be happy, if that makes them happy I guess the FSM would change to those forms if needed…. so boil the water and worship your diety in all HSI’s noodliness.
RAMEN!
