Michael Shermer on FSM

Published August 8th, 2008 by Bobby Henderson

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.

    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.
    RAmen.

    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!
