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

He seems to be in a jolly mood. What day was the picture taken on? We should declare it a holy day.

Beautiful! His noodliness invented the stars in the sky (sparks from the beer volcano), so His presence in the skyline over NYC is SO appropriate!

I feel like the FSM has lost it’s edge. It used to be funny and stuff but now its just kinda stupid. I thought this religion was created by atheists to make fun of christians, but I never thought it would still be around today. I think it’s funny that atheists base their identities off of the denial of something that they don’t believe in, instead of just being plain old human beings. Plus, you claim to think for yourselves, yet pretend to follow this fake religion that somebody else thought of?

@ 15 – Phil -,
You seem to have forgotten the original purpose for this religion. Right now, the right wing religiosos are trying to get Creationism incorporated in public school science curricula. It is as important as ever for us to fight this fraud and stupidity that could cripple this country’s scientific and medical creativity. If we fail, we would then watch our intellectual strength and leadership crumble in the face of international laughter.
Don’t fight science. Science always wins. It makes religious people seem foolish to battle against facts (see Earth in center of universe), and it takes reasonable people who still harbor faith, and turns them off to religion entirely. To anyone who understands science this is crystal clear and it appears like the creationist zealots are just lying and using deception. If that’s true, why believe them about the other stuff they claim that has no evidence? This is the problem. The world is laughing at you. The internet will hold creationist comments forever and when India, China, and the rest of the world blow our doors off in science, medicine and technology we can point back to the religious types who stirred controversy and taught distrust in science and scientists.

How is Pastafarianism not funny anymore? Does the amusement not derive from secularists making fun of religion as you say? Are we not still doing that? It’s true that the faith in His Noodliness is stupid, but that’s the point; if it weren’t there would be no mirror for religious adherents to look hard into.
Speaking of funny, you said you get a kick out of atheists basing their identities off of denial of that which they do not believe in. Why is this? For one I’m not an atheist, I’m agnostic. I consider it a better disposition, as being agnostic excludes certitude. Secondly, I base my identity with regards to this topic on my REJECTION of what somebody else DOES believe in. Why not simply be me and call that enough? Because pride in my faithlessness creates divisionary notions in my mind between myself and “the other guy.” A good thing too, as religion is dangerous and must be fought.

Only when all religions go the way of ancient mythology can anyone, with respect to religion, have the socially healthier philosophy of a singular human family.
Lastly, we do not simply claim to think for ourselves. Each person who supports Pastafarianism has thought for themselves as freedom from religion has granted them this ability, and with it they find like persons whom they can relate to on websites like these where pretending to follow the FSM is all a part of the joke meant to expose religion for its embarrassing absurdity. Do you have any less capacity for thinking if you repeat the same knock-knock joke someone else used?
Don’t think that this is meant as an attack against you; I sought only to candidly respond to your post. You seem to have given your support to Pastafarianism at one time, hopefully now you’ll think it’s still worth it.

@15 Phil
As an atheist I don’t believe we “base [our] identities off of the denial of something that [we} don’t believe in”. I would be an atheist regardless of whether or not other religions existed. It’s only that if there was no religion then there would be no need to name atheism. Because there are people out there who believe in god/allah/buddha/farting chocolate dude or whomever, and give themselves a name to identify them to fellow believers, then there equally has to be a name to identify those who do not believe. Atheist or Pastafarian works for me.
Similarly, if there were no wars, perhaps we would have no need for a word for peace. Unfortunately, currently, the need for the peace nomenclature also remains.
While there is a need for a definition of atheism I shall continue to fly the flag of the great FSM, and IMHO he is as funny as he ever was.
May you be touched once more by his noodly appendage and bathed in the warmth of his (vegetarian) bolognase sauce.
RAmen.
