Ikea endorses the Church

I bought this doll in IKEA in Taiwan about a year ago. Just knowing the FSM has been a strong presence in our son’s life from the start is indeed a comfort.

This is news to me, but I’m not too surprised, as the Swedish are a very intelligent people and have been strong supporters of the Church of the FSM since early on. Thanks, IKEA!

    This may actually get my girlfriend to check out the FSM. She’s a firm believer in Ikea and now she’ll see that these two faiths are not incompatible.

    sweden is actually the most atheist country in the world (has highest percentage of atheism). perhaps now they are beginning to remember their days as vikings – the predecessors of more modern pirates, and are taking to the church of the FSM.

    another victory for all that is noodly (sp?) and good! ARRRRRR!

    I am touched that the Ikea community shares my religious beliefs and values. I knew there had to be a noble reason for my inability to resist weekly visitations (and silly me, I thought it was just the shelving). Clearly it was a force more powerful than Lingonberries.

    Is it a coincidence that they are known for their delicious meatballs? I think not.

    I’m a little disturbed how, by including fearsome jaws in depiction of His Noodliness, IKEA might suggest He’s not the Benevolent One we’re all accustomed to…

    I learn something new every time I come to this site. I didn’t know Taiwan was in Sweden.

    Bill, IKEA is a swedish company. It is gratifying to know that all are indeed touched by His Noodly Appendage. And that they recognize, and whats more, embrace it.

    no one is making the claim of sweden containing taiwan. just that ikea is a swedish company. we wouldn’t want to upset mainland china by moving taiwan so far away now, would we?

    Miss South Carolina USA teaches geography and she says Taiwan is the capital of Sweden. She is of course a Christian fundamentalist as well.

    HERESY!

    This doll represents only HALF of the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s Unctious Meatball Goodness! And what sort of frightening image of our omniscient, all-loving deity are they trying to paint with such fearsome teeth?

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
