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.

the bible is a brainless, hilarious book, and i wouldn’t convert to christianity because frankly, i don’t believe and fictional character could of created this world.
a old man gathering every animal on earth, theres something fat-fetched and stupid for you.
try giving some real proof of god and jesus before asking others to give proof of their deity.

Excuse me for one moment. . . .”Can you even pull out proof that there ever was a Spaghetti Monster god?” Can you pull out any proof that there was once a god at all? In case no one has noticed. Everything in this religion is a comparison to the christianity belief system. FSM is GOD! FSM creating mountains and midgets and stuff. . .The book of Genesis. Everything in this religion is as far fetched as christianity and every other religion. Therefore, mocking the fictional FSM is in turn mocking your fictional GOD. (From my point of view) Now everyone can believe whatever helps them sleep at night but dont go around attempting to force people to believe something in which they dont agree on. For example, teaching intelligent design in schools.

She even mentions the comedy award FSM won or was at least nominated for and still she (‘Leigh’ is a girl’s name, isn’t it?) doesn’t get the clue. And she doesn’t know the correct meaning of ‘hilarious’. Okay she’s a teenager, so it’s kinda cute. As long as she’s not older than 13, one should get sarcasm, when you reached that age. Otherwise one should be considered terminally bonkers.

Hold on, wait, are you actually saying that there’s a religion with no evidence? As opposed to Islam, Hinduism and Scientology, all of which have absolute truths. Riiiiiiiiight…
Oh, and before everyone starts leaping on Christians, the poster never actually declared religious status, so THIS idiocy is not the fault of the Christian church.

Welcome to the world of Parody religeons. But if you notice, Pastafarianism resembles serious religeons. Like all religeon its constructed with no real proof, and a rediculous notion and distorted logic. Pastafarianism does it on purpose to point out the lunacy of actual religeon. Remember, Parody religeons are religeons, but they are also protests.
and now, for my full support of Pastafarians
HAIL FSM

PS.
Personally, I ahve no religeon. but Pastafarianism is one I like. Its totally worth my time, i find it funny and its not all bullshit. Its sarcastic, and its awesome… and its beautiful.

So… Is this person implying tht there is proof of god and Jesus? Does she orhe have a fossil of god we cud see? And a spaghetti monster tht flies is ridiculous but an invisible man who lives in space who shoots a magic beam dwn to earth to unwillingly impregnate a woman with a his child tht has super powers and is actully him, THAT HAS TO BE THE TRUTH. and furthermore the holy bible is one of the most hilarious books ever written, not only tht but it was written by claimed witnesses not even their prophet like our gospel of the FSM. the fact tht some people can actully be this stupid angers me. Get over yourself sir or madam

Leigh, might I suggest that Earthly spaghetti’s appearance only a few hundred years ago is simply a sign of humanity’s struggle to attain the divine? By the creation, and partaking of His Noodly representation, we become closer to Him.
Though I cannot speak for the other monotheistic religions, I know that at least in Christianity, there is a similar rite. It is known as The Eucharist or Communion.
In Hinduism and Buddhism, to reach moksha/nirvana is to be liberated from the earthly cycle of death and rebirth, and to join with the divine. This is at least vaguely reminiscent of becoming physically close with His Noodly divinity. So, as you can see, the church of the FSM is no freak religion or lacking in seriousness. We are as valid as any other mainstream religion existing today.
Is there something comical about His Noodly Divinity?

@ -Leigh,
What makes our religion any different from any other religion? Proof is Proof. What proof is there for any religion?
There is not one shred of proof for the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster; there is equally no evidence for the existence of any other deity. The evidence which we are seeking conforms to the rules of evidence used in the scientific method as to demonstrability, repeatability, testability, and others. All deities, to be proven to exist must conform to the same rules of provability.
This is our website, and we are fully justified in defending our cause. It is the exclusion of religious mythology from public school science curricula. Our theology is satire that depends on and
demeans no other faith or religion. You have obviously not read and understood both the Open Letter and the “About” tab material as you were directed when you entered this site.
The attached talk by Dr Andy Thomson tells us how our needs as helpless infants uses the same parts of the brain as our thoughts about the mythology of religion:

The fears and terrors of the unknown are powerful drivers in our need for superstition.

Oh goodness, he’s right. It turns out that WE have been so gullible as to be deceived into following a false religion!
We should thank this brilliant being for bringing this to light. Thank His Noodley Appendages this brilliant skeptic has pointed out our ignorant gullibility.

“That a giant ball of noodles somehow created the world. How can a pile of limp noodles even move?”
oooooh he is so right, is far more probable that a invisible god created this world, even if he is supposed to be as anyone wants, because is everywhere
and of course, dont forget that like he is all powerfull, he is angry that his own creations turned out so bad, so we receive the punishment of that he leaves the evil there, so we can deserve to return to him not as a error, but as a restored people
at least FSM will never require that i build a fancy church, give money or make wars against the non believers

Hahaha, how ironic!! It’s so funny because it almost sounds as if he’s criticizing his own religion or even agreeing with us! All of his arguments about logic and evidence can be directly applied almost in his exact words to every other religion! This is why FSMism is equal to any other religions, in my opinion :) Totally hilarious in any case!

“How can a pile of limp noodles even move? It can’t.”
Maybe you know His exact composition? Can you prove that ability to move depends solely on the geometric form? How about the parts you can’t see in the picture?
And how can you be sure that something on your plate is nothing more than your immobile supper, and not some high-tech warrior masterfully and deceptively designed? In particular, would you be able to see its soul if present? (Note: it was idea first incorporated into religion; I had invented nothing here)

I must say that I for one fully supported Leigh’s rational analysis, that is until I was touched by His Noodly Appendage. I was looking for ‘fossils’ in my back garden, obviously planted by He who is called ‘I am’ to test my faith, when I came upon a message fossilised into stone in my flowerbed. Those spagetti-spelled words filled me with the tomato sauce of light, and I now See the truth. The way is now clear to me. Leigh – I can only hope that you stumble upon the life changing clarity I have found. All hail FSM.

Man, if only he would turn that rationality on his own religion. He was SO CLOSE. I found it Hillard that while he was disproving pastafarianism he also disproved his own religion. Also, I love how he thinks that covering up the other side of the story is a good move.
