I hadn’t even heard of this religion until my teacher mentioned it. I didn’t believe him until I looked it up. I’ve heard about weird alien religions and knew people believed in them, but this? I thought it was a joke. I read your ‘evidence’ and frankly, that wasn’t evidence. There is no proof, they didn’t say there was proof, and you’re not good at defending your faith if you include hate mail on your website. I find it very funny that you’re Spaghetti Bible or whatever won the COMEDY award. That shows what a big joke it is to other people. Can you even pull out proof that there ever was a Spaghetti Monster god? Like, fossilized noodles or something? No. Spaghetti is only a few centuries old, there can’t possibly be a god made of something that a human created, when supposidly the spaghetti created humans. This religion makes no sense. I think that if you belong to this church, you should evaluate what they’re teaching. That a giant ball of noodles somehow created the world. How can a pile of limp noodles even move? It can’t. If you belong to this, I’m sorry, but whoever created this website made it possible for people to comment on it, so I am. This is a brainless, hilarious religion, and I wouldn’t convert because frankly, I don’t believe that food created this world, or people. Too far-fetched and stupid.

I would be very interested in understanding how you reasoned out that since we include hate mail on our website, that we are clearly bad at defending our religion. That little bit of ‘logic’ if I dare call it so is particularly warped. Do you perhaps attend a Catholic school?
Now can you please present us with proof of a flying invisible cloud man and his zombie Jesus son? Perhaps some fossilized bone and skin tissue? And perhaps you aren’t aware of this Leigh, but there are some people out in this world who take one look at their fellow human beings and exclaim “look, lunch!” So if humans can technically be food, why couldn’t God be a giant flying pile of spaghetti?
Leigh, I really do hope that one day you’ll be enlightened to the truth, that the Sauce of the FSM will one day bless your life, that He may reach out and touch you with his Noodley Appendage and show you that the FSM is the true and supreme God.
rAmen

Our Noodly Deity doesn’t show Himself to every human, only to those who deserve it.
“I thought it was a joke”
Mmm… maybe you aren’t so stupid
“I read your ‘evidence’ and frankly, that wasn’t evidence” It’s not?What do you think about other religion’s evidences?
“Can you even pull out proof that there ever was a Spaghetti Monster god? Like, fossilized noodles or something?”
Are you asking christians to have fossilized angels or something? Why should we?
“Spaghetti is only a few centuries old, there can’t possibly be a god made of something that a human created”
All gods are created by humans. Our god is not made of spaghetti, but spaghetti are created in his image by a prophet who knew the truth.
“I think that if you belong to this church, you should evaluate what they’re teaching”
That’s not the way faith and churches work. You are not supposed to evaluate their teachings.
“I don’t believe that food created this world, or people”
So, should we dismiss the old bearded man in the sky as the creator, too?

is that a joke e-mail?????
I almost cried when I read it!!! lol!!!!
I mean, it would be lovely smelling spaguetti every time you pray…but…
…I’d feel tempted to eat my own god (if he was gluten free…lol!)
LOL! I think Pastafarianism is the best way of showing that blind faith can seem “impossible” to eyes of people who need proves to believe something is real, specially if that something is able to make u accept certain “unhuman” rules all your life n has caused most of the wars our History knows!
For FSM’s sake!
Why does creacionism make more sense than this???
To my eyes, make a world in seven days by an omnipotent being who created men from dust and decided to rest the seventh day is as plausible as Pastafarianism.
Religion asks for blind faith on something that cannot be justified…well, Christianism n Patafarianism seem to share the same basis, what makes one more valid than the other?.
Everybody is free to believe in a god (or two, or three…) or none…
ok, let’s respect that, fear to death is a cute n effective way of controlling people, but at the same time it’s hard to state that “there’s nothing else” so, let’s respect;
but churches corrupt any idea that may b included in the idea of religion. Let’s take the Bible, for example: If, by definition, God made men to His own resemblance…that implies that his resemblance must have been seen by men, on the other hand just his sight would kill you just like the hearing of his voice; so if you see god, you die; as a consequence if men saw God, men would have died; however, we exist, so…men have never seen god,
how can u know he is not FSM????
U CANNOT KNOW
lol! that’s the lovely thing of this idea!!!!
(that’s the main idea of religion n that makes this as valid as urs)
However, if u disagree with the dominant church or u just disgree in the way of praying, noways u r insulted or ignored or people just think u r wrong…well, at least nowadays they don’t burn u as if u were a witch!!
does anybody think (believers or not) that THAT attitude of intolerance had anything to do with God’s ideas or was it an excuse to conquer/kill/enpower the church…?
Whatever it might b ur answer, I’m sure that we agree that tolerance is the key,
so if u tolerate creationism at schools, tolerate my right to question it,
the same that I tolerate ur right to question science.
So, if i want to believe in a Spaguetti meatballs god (lol!!!!! the idea is just GREAT), let it be or show me I’m wrong…
…I still can show u a Neanderthal man…
….but I’m still waiting for ur explanation for dinosaurs…
pd.- will the almighty offer me some gluten free beer in heaven??? lol!
pd2.- will he talk to me in Spanish or will he have his own pastarian language?
pd3.- the fork…is his enemy or his friend?
only his almighty meatballs have the answers
Let the pasta be ur guide.
rofl!
a huge hug from Spain, ur website is definitely HILLARIOUS!!!!!

We do have ancient cave paintings and the like. He also appears to us in different forms to prove our faith, and sometimes I have so much faith in the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I believe I can FEEL his noodley appendage. I think that’s proof enough for many other followers of various religions. Who I do not hate upon, but rather pity for following the false god.
But, that’s alright if you don’t want to follow Him, because the religion is “stupid.” In reality that just means more beer and strippers for me in heaven. So bring it!

I read the ‘evidence’ of other religions as well, and FSM was no more convincing than any of those. But I joined this because it was more fun, and we get entertaining hate messages like this.

Petrified Noodles: http://www.world-science.net/othernews/051014_noodlesfrm.htm
Please, do some research before assuming there is nothing. I think that you will find that an invisible and omnipotent flying noodle-monster is just as scientifically supported as any any religious deity. Pasta was given to us by His Noodly Goodness for our own spiritual and physical well being. Or… maybe we are an extended reductio ad absurdum argument against the theory of intelligent design… nah. There’s just no way our faith in a flying noodle monster could in any way be tinged by intentional irony and sarcasm.

Oooh, so close. Even from what YOU said, it seems pretty obvious it IS a joke.
“Can you even pull out proof that there ever was a Spaghetti Monster god?”
I don’t see you going to every other religion asking for proof. But if you’re going to do that, you have your work cut out for you.
“Too far-fetched and stupid.”
I’d say it’s just as plausible as any other religion. Why is a white bearded man in the sky less stupid that a monster that resembles spaghetti? If anything, the FSM is a lot less contradictory that the YHWH, not to mention a lot less vengeful and bloodthirsty (just read our gospel!).

You say that Pastafarism doesn’t give any proof of the existence of the FSM, but does the bible give concrete proof of God’s existence?! The concept of religion includes to have faith without seeing, without being absolutely sure of the existence of the god, if any god there is. I would like to add that if a superior being really exists and created the universe, he probably don’t really care how we name “it” as long as we believe in him. You may call him Yavhe, God, Allah, Khrishna or Flying Spaghetti Monster, maybe he don’t even understand our language because he doesn’t need language to communicate.

The monster thingie looks like it has balls. That’s, like, totally gay. And I’m not gay. Jesus wouldn’t want me to be gay. He’s the only man for me. I would totally take Jesus’s balls though. That woodnt be gay cause hes Jesus. But this thing is stupid. Every1 nos that god created the heavens and teh earth. duh. not some stupid spaghetti monster. if you Believe that then you might as well say that a Flying ice cream monster is god instead cause u have just as much evidance for both. so Stupid. Not like god. he is almighty. And alrighty. He’s the almighty, alrighty
#57 You’d take Jesus’ balls? WTF???? BTW, there is an invention called a dictionary that could help you with your spelling, if you can’t read I suggest spellchecker. God did create the heavens and the earth, and we know him as the FSM. WTF is “alrighty”, does he have 2 right hands? BTW, how much “evidance” do you have for Mr. alrighty?

I propose a new rule: from now on, anyone who worships a dude who spent His entire adult life hanging out with a dozen other guys, was known to be kissed by them and wash their feet, and is frequently portrayed in a nearly-nude S&M glamour shot, isn’t allowed to have a problem with gay people.
Sound fair?
I’ve attached a link to a talk by Dr. Andy Thomson who discusses measurements that correlate neuroscience to human religious needs and brain responses. Let’s listen to it carefully and critically:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iMmvu9eMrg
It seems to me that it correlates our physiological needs as helpless infants with our psychological fears as adults as far as MRI brain activity is concerned.
“How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, ‘This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed’? Instead they say, ‘No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.’” – Carl Sagan

Excellent post, plumberbob. Just one caveat:
The guy you’re talking about never, ever said he had a problem with gay people. It is only others who have put words in his mouth.
He is innocent of the charge-at least on that one count.
