“My friend and I noticed your plea for endorsements from individuals who share both an academic background and faith in the FSM. I’m an academic, but not a scientist, while he is a scientist, but not an academic. We both, however, feel strongly that denying children an education regarding what we know to be the true, noodly nature of the universe is a travesty of human progress. It is apparent to my friend that, from a scientific perspective, no other explanation of existence is conceivable. And he converted to FSMism from atheism. It is apparent to me, as an educator, that to not teach this truth alongside other “theories” of our universe’s creation will cause irreparable harm to our children, escalating to the point at which an entire generation will be ignorant to the noodly appendage operating all around them, inevitably plunging the world and all those upon it into a new dark age. Thank you, Bobby Henderson, for offering an alternative to that horrible fate to which the Kansas State Board of Education would subject our society. Thank you, Bobby Henderson, for saving the world.”

“If intelligent design (ID) is based on science, not faith, then it should fulfill the same criteria as any other scientific theory. One of the most important of these is Occam’s Razor, the principle that the best explanation for a given phenomenon is the one which is simplest, or to put it another way, raises the least new questions. Most ID theories fail the test of Occam’s Razor, because they do not define what entity is doing the designing, or they imply that some sort of god is responsible, which raises the question of whether this god actually exists. However, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism explains clearly who the intelligent designer is, and furthermore, unlike the case for god, there is ample experimental proof that spaghetti does actually exist. I therefore recommend that if ID is to be taught in schools, it should be made clear to students that FSM is by far the most plausible of the many competing ID theories. RAmen.“

“I applaud Mr. Henderson for finally coming forward with a public acknowledgement of our fine religion. Many of you doubt our sincerity and legitimacy and many of you are often unaware of your inadvertant worship. Our most reverend of hymns, “On Top of Spaghetti” is ritualistucally sung by over 75% of the youth of America. Most of these children willingly take of the sacraments of spaghettios. Look into their eyes and you will see the truth. Many have been turned from the true way but He is willing to bring them back into His noodly embrace. As a Doctrate of Comparative Religions, I find it appauling that a small-minded minority is promoting their theories over older more proven scientific principals. May He forgive you for your insolance.“

“As an orientalist trained in anthropology, I can assure you that the Flying Spaghetti Monster-theory is by no means ridiculous. It is, in fact, as solid as Genesis, the Aztec legends or Far Eastern stories about the creation of the world, and it is not more absurd.
It’s important that this’ll be included in the upcoming new school curriculum – the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory could well incite people to think about the discrepancies of other models. I am surprised people can even think of advocating ID – how will we raise the next generations’ scientists without any basical knowledge of facts and theories? Your demand to include the Flying Spaghetti Monster in school curricula is reasonable, not insulting and completely legitimate. FSM-ism would do no harm, and be a tasty alternative for fanatic Christianism.“

“Thank you for enlightening the world about the true creator of the universe and everything in it. As a person with a doctorate in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University (1974) and, thus, a better than average understanding of evolution and Darwinism, I would like to endorse, wholeheartedly, your efforts to get schools to include the REAL truth about ID and about the intelligent designer, none other than the FSM, when they teach ID in their science classes.

“As a biodiversity researcher, it has long been clear to me that there must have been something transcending mere variation, heritability, time and differential survival behind all these different sorts of animals and plants – why this ridiculous redundancy? But your revelation of a noodly appendage guiding all things has supplied the missing recipe for truly understanding this interwoven chaos of diversity. What could be plainer, once one has gazed on one of His manifestations, gilded with ground Parmesan, bathed in the blood of tomatoes, hallowed with the incense of basil and oregano, than the conclusion that only a transcendent being such as He could have conceived of the profoundly tangled connections that are revealed by researches into ecology and evolution. A personal relationship with Pasta should not be an option – it should be mandated, and be available on special Friday and Saturday nights.“ –Dr Mark Hutchinson (Adelaide, South Australia)
“As geneticist, my personal belief in the creator of everything was so far, that he resembles a pink invisible flying rabbit circling the earth just opposite the sun, and soundlessly squeaking “42″. In consequence, this creature is undetectable even by the most advanced human techniques. Furthermore, the ability of being pink and invisible at the same time provides proof for real allmightyness. However, Pastafarianism seems to be much more substantiated, and is not violating Occam’s razor (see comment of S. Bilson-Thompson), and follows pure philosophical logic, as colleague Brian D. Rabern has pointed out previously. Therefore, I am sure that the members of the Kansas Board of Education, who gave logic a particular importance, will honor these undisputable facts by including FSM in their curriculum, thereby setting highest educational standards also for non-US countries. – Additionally, the invisible pink rabbit hypothesis might be discussed if there could be some time spared in the pupil’s schedule. RAmen “ –Jobst Meyer, PhD, Professor of Behavioral Genetics
“Just to add my endorsement of Pastafarianism as a nutritious and delicious alternative to ID and other forms of creationism. While I myself would prefer to keep all such religious views out of the classroom, if I am forced to teach one as an alternative to evolution, I will certainly choose Pastafarianism.“
–Gerard S. Harbison, Professor of Chemistry, UNL, Lincoln, Nebraska
“If intelligent design (one of my favourite oxymorons after military intelligence and friendly fire) is to be taught in biology lessons, then such crossover of subjects should be expanded! Haiku should be taught in motor mechanics, the making of dovetail joints should be taught in mathematics and cell structure and function in French classes. All of this is as equally logical as the teaching of things written down in a book by Middle Eastern asylum seekers in North Africa thousands of years ago in Biology.
Until today when I read your site I was an unworthy atheist who believed in nothing but reason and evidence based theory but now I understand that this was now just part of the FSM’s plan for me! I now pledge my research from this day hence to understanding the deeper mysteries of the FSM’s creation.“

“The first bottle of Lambrusco I chugged in High School some 30 years ago washed my full immersion baptism into the Baptist faith away. The second bottle I chugged that night resulted in a pasta “vision” that, sadly, I was too blind and covered in noodles to understand. Now, after a long career as a Biologist and educator, I see the light. If you form a curriculum committee, keep me in mind.”
– Jeff Young, Ph.D.
“As a regular contributor to the scientific literature in the area of Industrial and Organizational Psychology and Associate Editor of one of the top 10 journals in the field, it seems that many of the most important contributions to science involve unification of seemingly discrepant theoretical positions and bodies of data into larger, more unified “Big Picture†theories. We have witnessed this kind of scientific progress in physics for decades and now we are faced with similar promising prospects of an integrative perspective that links biology, metaphysics, and the culinary arts into one overarching theory of how everything got to be the way it is. The theory of evolution (the biological contribution) is a widely accepted and scientifically grounded explanation of the Earth’s current biodiversity, yet it falls short of an explanation of how everything got started in the first place. Intelligent Design (ID, the metaphysical contribution) argues convincingly that things are just too complicated for things to have started themselves and effectively argues that, therefore, there must have been a designer. Unfortunately, ID falls sadly short of identifying the designer him- or herself. The Theory of Flying Spaghetti Monsterism (the Pastafarian contribution from the culinary arts) presents a very convincing and parsimonious account of the identity and nature of the Intelligent Designer himself and, I think, creates an exciting potential for a Unified Theory of It All. Needless to say, any public school curriculum would be negligently incomplete and shamelessly biased if it did not present a fair and balanced treatment of the three intellectual pillars represented by Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.”
– Charles E. Lance, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology
“I wish to thank you for opening my eyes (and for making my mouth water). I have already referred to our leader the FSM in both my classes this quarter–Theories of Crime and Deviance & Capital Punishment–as the role of religion (not the roll of garlic) is paramount in explaining crime and punishment. I look forward to further developments in the liturgy in time for my Law & Society course (not the antipasto course). I wish to alert you to today’s class discussion, we we briefly considered both the FSM and yesterday’s article in the Journal of Religion and Society. There appears to be a strong direct correlation between a nation’s belief in “A Creator” and very high levels of social pathologies. Either belief in a creator is dangerous to a society’s health, or we have just been following false creators. Therefore, it is even more crucial to teach Pastafarianism along w/ ID. The ramifications reach all the way to the Social Problem of Order, not just the elimination of doctors from Kansas, Dover PA, & Cobb County GA.”
–Tom Durkin, PhD
“As a life-long subscriber to the scientific method, I find myself astonished at your succinctly unifying theory of the origins of matter and life in the Universe. I find myself unable to express the depths of my admiration and beg to offer you my accolades for your unequaled contribution to the field of general knowledge. That which eluded the greatest minds of humanity, the grand unifying theory of _everything_, is now laid bare for all to acknowledge; its brilliant simplicity far surpassing the inelegance of the Standard Model, the tacked-on nature of the Cosmological Constant, the inobsevability of M-branes and the obviousness of Quantum Gravity. It is perfectly derivable that the FSM is the duality of, on one hand, the driving force behind the imaginary-to-real temporal transition (falsely referred to as the Big Bang), and on the other hand, the impetus behind the universal entropy reduction (falsely referred to as Evolution).
It is my sincere hope however, that you may acknowledge that the images of Him, are mere projections onto our consciousness of the rapturous and divine cross-dimensional entity that He must represent. It is highly unlikely, and strikes this writer as somewhat jejune that His true image would be not dissimilar to that of a $5.95 lunch special at Belinda’s.
Thank you for restoring one man’s faith in science, organized religion and the general superiority of the Italian cuisine in a single afternoon.”
– Dmitry Kaplan, PhD
“I am a university researcher and lecturer in Sweden, which is a frighteningly secularised society. The need for the restoration of faith is particularly acute here. Amongst the religious minority, many cling to the exultant euphoria and collective catharses of pentacostal ritual. This fulfils a important need in this country’s emotionally and socially inhibited society. Many others uphold the imported religions of their immigrant backgrounds, which adds welcome variation to the palette of human beliefs and dogma. In Sweden there are strong inverse statistical correlations between drug abuse, youth delinquency and crime when plotted against the number of church goers. It is common for students to point out what to them are an obvious causal effects when presented with such data. I find myself standing before a clawing need for a faith based, postconstructive curriculum as an alternative to the secular and scientific programmes that totally dominate this countries universities.
The Kansas School Board’s embracing of the intelligent design constitutes a step into the abyss of rhetorical fallacy, a step that I believe would be embraced by a the majority of pupils if impressed upon them in a sufficiently charismatic and ebullient fashion. It seems to me though that the board have overestimated the abilities of science teachers to dupe and cajole pupils into accepting the content of their curriculum, and that intelligent design would more efficiently be forced on innocent minds through the use of professional sales personal, spin doctors, Hollywood writers, politicians or priests.
I myself have looked into a number of belief systems in an attempt to find a candidate for fulfilling students’ clawing need for simple answers that explain the complexity of the world. I find none as delightfully absurd and blatantly simplistic as Pastafarianism. It is clear that this is what I shall be teaching my students when they draw simplistic, uncritical, fact denying, authoritarian, dogmatic, or contradictory conclusions from incomplete knowledge. Pastafarianism beautifully illustrates how easily and arbitrarily specious truth can be constructed and it is the perfect complement to the stolid scientific approach.
Until such time as a new era of human enlightenment under a new prophet transfixes my attention, Pastafarianism will become a lecture hall word — a word through which I can offer those clawing students the sense of security and faith in the ridiculous that they need in order to revert to the path of rationality, uncertainty and the systematic search for truth.
To this end, there is also a place in the scientific curriculum for intelligent design, it’s just that Pastafarianism fulfils that role so much better.”
–Guy Davies Ph.D. Computer Science. Royal Institute of Technology
My motto will be “Pirates against global warming”
“Registered Nurses are trained to be respectful and supportive of their patients’ various cultural and religious beliefs and practices. In my practice, I care for the elderly, typically in the few remaining days of their lives. I have seen, first hand, everything from Voodoo death rituals to the classic Catholic prayer hoping for a miracle. I may well offend ALL faiths, but let me speak of religious diversity and miracles.
I know this is not scientific, but I can conclude, based upon massive first hand anecdotal evidence, that these many religions and faiths, despite their seemingly different dogmas, all worship the same God. If all of humanity could see my patients fully exercising their faiths as I have, it would lead them to that same conclusion, even though it is only based on “wimpy” anecdotal evidence, and not on a double-blind clinical trial that would satisfy scientific rigor. On the topic of miracles, any soccer mom who had to feed the whole team will tell you, Jesus could not have fed the masses with a single fish. It makes more sense that he accomplished that miracle with a giant, steaming bowl of spaghetti. I’ll bet if we examine other miracles, we will often find a noodly appendage invoking His influence.
So, I wholeheartedly support the concept of equal time for all divine theories in the classroom, especially FSMism. If we, as a species, could finally realize that all forms of God are one and the same God, perhaps religious wars would end, and we could truly love one another as most religions indicate. Your demand for equal presentation of FSMism in schools appears, on the surface, to be self serving for Pastafarians. However, you are really helping mankind in ways you may not be aware of.

Where is real evidence? All I see are quotes celebrating pastafarianism. What is the significance of the spaghetti? Why not just tentacles or something? These quotes are all quoted by smart idiots. They’re smart by measurements, such as having a P.h.D, but have stupid common sense (that goes for the ones who believe it). The other quotes state that it is just as plausible as any other Intelligent Design theory, because they themselves believe in evolution.
How come all of your evidence pages have only quotations? Maybe the book has more evidence, but a wise man would not waste his money buying it. On this website you show absolutely no proof, or any valid facts to help prove it.
Did this monster inspire the invention of pasta? And spaghetti? What is the evidence that it’s a flying spaghetti monster?
The most plausible theory (truth) for intelligent design is Christianity. It was written over thousands of years by many different authors, whose ideas all matched up perfectly. The prophecies written in the old testament about Jesus became fulfilled when Jesus died. No intelligent person can deny that Jesus existed.
All that the Catholics did that was evil is not in the religion of Christianity. Christianity is belief in the Bible, which didn’t want Christians to kill people who were islamic, or something. Catholics strayed from the Bible when they did this. Catholicism was very corrupt. True Christians accept the Bible, and believe that what it says is true and unalterable. The dumb Catholics taught debauchery.
Humans are naturally evil. The little children must be taught to share, and love, and be kind. Where did the good morals of the world come from? Why would some guy come up with all of these restraining rules the world must follow? Christianity has moralized the world, and even non-christians are affected by this moralization.

Aaahhh…and therein lies the problem dear Dead skunk of the past..it was written by people years after the death of this so called prophet. Their ideas (whatever that means) did not match up perfectly at all!
There were a lot of things written in the old testament and? The God of the old testament is officious and callous..does that mean that God is so, then by the time of the new testament he had changed and become lovely and cute and nice and had sent his son to save us all. The God of the old testament gets people to almost execute their children before saying that it was just a “test”. I don’t find the bible in the least to be useful as anything but a wonderfully impressive work of fiction. To seriously believe it to be “real” is to believe something as ridiculous as say an invisible pink unicorn!!!
I am an intelligent person an I would very strongly INSIST that Jesus did not exist or do you have any proof of this myth?
“The dumb catholics taught debauchery”… very Christian wording.
“Humans are naturally evil”….speak for yourself!
Little children will behave as they are taught to behave. Yes they need love and should show love, but this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with religion. A child can be educated in love and kindness with or without a religion. This is NOT a prerequisite!!
“Where did (good) morals of the world come from”? Altruism and a from of moralistic code is not merely a human thing. The upholding of moralistic and altruistic social order is found just as much in other animals including great apes. One (an probably the most sensible theory, in any case beating the intervention of a God hands down) is that some creatures learned (we included) that altruism actually bring benefits…put plainly, if I am generally good, then generally others are good to me, in other words I gain if I allow other to gain too. This seems to have merged with our sense of self-judgment and guilt (another attribute that is not merely a human thing) to create the beginnings of an internal moralistic system.
This is not, by far and wide, a Christian invention or are you suggesting that civilised societies that preceded the invention of the Christian faith were lacking morals? If so how did they survive so well? Why were they (for their time) so much further than we in this part of the world? And why do so many people still “of Christian faith” perform crimes of every order from petty theft to child abuse to murder? Surely their intense sense of morals should prevent this (that sense of moral correctness being so much better than say…mine (as a non-believer)). I fear that your answer to this will be as always “they are not true Christians”..a cop out if ever there was one!
“Why would some guy come up with all of these restraining rules the world must follow?” Why would Mao decide to let his people die in order to gain a little more power? Why would Hilter decide to slaughter millions of people?
To The Flying Spaghetti Monster and evidence I say…Everything you have said and say; all your ideas and thoughts; all of the lack of evidence you think you see; even your doubts as to your own God (and you do have them..I know!!!) and as to HIM are all a product of HE. You cannot prove or disprove HIM. If you attempt to in any way HE will alter the attempt to bring about the result that HE wants (whether you understand it or not). HE is forever one step ahead and forever just around the next corner!! Sound familiar?!?
God used to be in the trees and plants..until science proved this not to be the case.
Then God was in the clouds…until science proved that beyond the clouds was space.
Then he was beyond the solar system, but that revolved around us…until science prove this to be cods wallop!
Now he is always there where science has not yet looked!! Strange isn’t it!!
Of course, all of this has been arrange by HIM to create the confusion HE so likes.
Arrrggghghgh…Walk ye the plank and pieces of eight!!!
Bless HIM and HIS tangy sauce!

It seems the Flying Spaghetti Monster made an appearance in Italia at the end of the middle-age. This appearance could explain the start of the Renaissance there, why there is the flying spaghetti monster on the roof of the Sixtine church and finally why spaghettis is the national meal in Italia!
Making this appearance, the Flying Spaghetti Monster has closed the sad middle age period and started a new life for us, the human being, who, just after the appareance, have discovered america, taken a new look on sciences and arts and finally known what is the better source of calories: spaghettis!

The FSM theory makes a lot of sense.

This is true the great increse in Earth Problems is directly related to the decrease in Pirates since the 1800s.
This theory is also disprovable.
But it is provable,
If humans are imperfect,
and the FSM is Perfect
and something cannot give rise to it’s oppisite
(fire cannot give rise to water)
Then there is no way for me to have the thought of the FSM
so the FSM must exist to have placed that thought in my head.

the spaghetti monster must exist, i can imagine him flying around smiting evil by hurling his giant meat balls. He is all powerful, all knowing and it is impossible for us simple human beings to understand the capacity of his being. He is perfect. According to Anselm, if we are imperfect, we couldnt concieve something perfect so the spaghetti monster must have put that idea in our heads somehow so he MUST exist. Beside spaghetti tastes good.

I belive the FSM has to be a imperfect being unless you can answer the following:
Can the FSM make a cheese cake he cant lift?
If yes then the FSM is imperfect.
If no then the FSM cant do everything so he is also imperfect.
If man created spaghetti then spaghetti could not have created man.Which dates back to the philosophical beliefs of Anaximander.If you could answer these questions then this might be a plausible religion.

He argues the fact that nothing can give rise to its opposite and the boundless is that one thing that has no opposite. If you think about it logically spaghetti has no opposite. Therefore it can create everything that exists. You must see that there is a boundless creator, we know that , the world did not just come from nothingness it came from everythingness. Does spaghetti not incorporate every food group? Well almost everything if you include cheese. The flying spaghetti monster perfectly represents the boundless. There may not be any historical evidence of a FSM but as you can see it perfectly fits the mold of the boundless creator who made everything
Remember a bowl of spaghetti a day keeps the doctor away!!!!

Those of you who are disputing the fact that a spaghetti monster exists are one meatball short of a bowl of spaghetti. It is plain and clear that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is in fact the “BOUNDLESS” creator of everything.

We the Pirate Midgets of Italy (PMI) believe that FSM is real, for we were created by this holy noodley being. This perfect FORM was the creator of everything we know and love. Concepts, images, and objects of spaghetti are small morsels of understanding there is now way to comprehend the reality of The Flying Spaghetti Monster. This fantastic treat of spaghetti exists therefore this God of delicious noodleness and meaty ballness exists. Most in our clan of midgets are consumed by the awesomeness of the feeling spaghetti brings to our bellies. Also we have learned form our midget elders that when Anaximander was talking about “The Boundless” they were really talking about The one and only Flying Spaghetti Monster.

If you attempting to ridicule the theory of Intelligent Design you are going about it in entirely abrasive manner and discourse. According to Ockham to the simplest explanation is usually the correct one– so if you are attempting to disprove the validity of ID you are complicating your point by developing another theory of ID. I understand that you use this theory of thought(FSM) as an illustration of how ridiculos the theory of ID is, however, because it such a malevolent attack it puts ID believes in defensive mode. You better disseminate your belief systems if you approached them in a more logical stance– the fundamental basis of the theory of evolution. However– i love pasta– so FSM totally rules!!I would love for him to be my pastor– we would have an awesome time at church picnics with a giant ball of spaghetti.

I think you people are geniuses. There is such truth in what you are stating. It is closely related to Ockhams Razor in that it is the simplest argument with all the excess details shaved off. The simplicity of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is at best the most rational explanation for our existence of life as we know it. We find none as delightfully absurd and blatantly simplistic as Pastafarianism. He is a simple spaghetti monster which created everything as we know it. I suppose that the FSM gets drunk on the weekends with Meredith and Monette. They discuss FSM’s love of marinara sauce, and how he mixes it with gin. The Theory of Thales also proves the exsistence of the flying spaghetti monster. He cannot give rise to his opposite, BBQ chicken with a side of broccoli and cheese.

I fully agree with your theory of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. This theory is the only one that makes complete sense. Just as William of Ockham argues that whenever a happening can be fully explained by a theory which contains the least anount of elements, the simpler and less complexing theory should be chosen. Ockhams Razor of simplicity wasn’t meant to attack religion, just as FSMism. It’s just basically stating that if theres evidence of something, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, then it by all means should be accepted. I’m behind you all the way and I think your theory is amazing!!

Dear fellow pastafarians;
After hours of review on this new found religion I have been enlightened and now have complete faith in the flying spaghetti monster. Even if you don’t find yourself truly moved by the arguement of the flying spaghetti monster being the sole creator of everything, consider pascal’s wager; if you believe and you’re wrong then nothing happens, but if you don’t believe and you’re wrong you will burn for all eternity in pirate spaghetti hell. Furthermore, also take into consideration the theory of Ockham’s razor; isn’t it easier to define all of existence using some pasta with a little Ragu sauce than trying to use scientific theories and other dieties? Therefore I find that FSMism is the only rational explanation for the creation of all mankind. I only hope that my words will help non-believers to re-evaluate their false beliefs.
lots of pasta love,
Mclovin.

Your theory of FSM is a great enlightenment to all who come to discover the truth that a intelligent designer such as FSM in fact does exist. According to Plato we are all in the perverbial cave and are only enlightened by the coming of realization that FSM is the all powerful creator. I would like to sincerely thank you for releasing me from my bonds so I could step out of the cave and bask upon the greatness of the all mighty and all powerful pasta, the Alpha and Omega. Even according to the glorious Pascal, it is better to believe in FSM then to disbelieve and suffer the Armageddon FSM’s bonecrushing meatballs will bring or the saucy hell fires this wrathful diety will deliver you into. My only hope is that all can soon come know that this ID is the creator we all mistake as God.

It is clear to me that your theory of the flying spaghetti monster is juvenile. According to Anaximander nothing can give rise to its opposite just like the FSM cant give rise to fire. Also Anaximander says that the ultimate being is boundless. So if the FSM lives on earth who created the rest of the universe(Flying Spaghetti Bowl). I also think that the great minded philosopher, Pythagoras, would not approve of your FSM. This is true because the FSM doesn’t explain mathematics, science, or other natural laws that exist on earth. Also, how does the FSM defy gravity? This concludes my reasons of your false religion.

Dear Spaghetti fanatics,
Im compelled to say that the theory of the flying spaghetti monster has a lot of substantial evidence to support it.In my philosophy class I teach my students about how Aristotle himself had issues with the “new chiefs” at Plato’s academy, so he founded one of his own, known as the Lyceum. These students have also expressed their own disagreements with Kansas’s law stating that the curriculum must include the teaching of ID.Therefore why would people be against students standing up for what they believe in. They are doing this to discredit the government’s decision not religion. In fact, the captain himself has stated that there is several religious Christians and even muslims are apart of this organization. Furthermore William of Ockham believed that the simplest answer is probably the best answer. So in this case the simplest answer to these students is to create a new religion worshipping a spaghetti monster instead of being required to be taught ID.This theory of FSM is so good in fact that im goind to go home and sit down to eat a huge bowl of spaghetti and meatballs with parmesian cheese!!!!
Respectfully Yours,
Dr. Ragu de Prego
P.S. You can’t run, You can’t hide, It’s the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!!!

By ontological argument, it is possible to prove the existence of the FSM. Saint Anselm applied this method to his argument for the existence of the Christian/Catholic God and was met with little opposition. Those who discovered the entity that has come to be known as FSM can easily legitimize their finding by applying the conception to reality theory: if one can conceive it and it is perfect, then it must necessarily exist in reality. Because the FSM, as we all know, is perfect, and a perfect being is not perfect if it only exists in one’s mind, then it must exist and be the creator of all. As Anaximander pointed out in his renouncement of Thales, nothing can give rise to its opposite. What thing can be contrived that is in complete opposition to pasta? Therefore, FSM must be the creator if he is perfect and has no opposite; FSM is the only possible entity discovered thus far with all of the credentials to be omnipotent. Anselm’s God cannot even claim this, as he refers to himself as the Good, yet there is rampant evil among his creations. As Descartes semantically argued, if something is doubted it exists; we doubt FSM exists, therefore it does.

While researching the origin of spaghetti-Os, I stumbled across your website where i was immediately fascinated by the evidence that supports The Flying Spaghetti Monster. I’ve always loved spaghetti so i decided to read on and this is when i realized how similar your theory is to Heraclitus ( a Pre-socratic philosopher). in his philosophy he believes that the world is constantly changing just as FSMism tells of how the FSM uses his noodly appendages to change the results of scientific experiments such as carbon dating in fossils. As a philosopher and pasta guru I believe there is evidence to the FSM through applying my fellow philosopher Pascal’s theory. In his wager he says it’s better to believe in something such as FSMism 100% then to not believe at all. If there is an FSM then clearly he would make my life better by constantly providing for me ( all the spaghgetti-Os i can eat)

As a hardcore Christian I believe that your belief in FSMism is really ridiculous. A freakin flying spaghetti monster? You’ve seriously got to be kidding me. Thales philosophy of water being the basic nature of all things (even though fire can’t be created from water) is more believable than your FSMism. The flying spaghetti monster couldn’t exist without water so that means that water had to come before your so-called “flying spaghetti monster.” Heraclitus’ philosophy of continual change disproves your FSMism because wouldn’t the noodles change over time and the meatballs would like rot and grow fungi? Your flying spaghetti monster must be like really stinky right now if it never changes huh? But it obviously does change because it is in constant motion flying around from place to place. So to come to an end, FSMism is a really absurd theory of how we came to be.

Platos belief in the simile of reality is that the human soul is made of 90% appetites and passions, 9% emotions and fears, and only 1% reason, therefore the common man cannot accept or comprehend the truth of the flying spaghetti monster, because he designed it that way so only the truly worthy could accept his carb-laden goodness. Evidence points out that the south beach diet is a movement by anti Italian Nazis to discredit the F.S.M, and to deprive us his divine meatyness. Early Paleolithic drawing depict several squiggles and giant balls which can only represent the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster. Following up on the cave drawings it is obvious that the Flying Spaghetti Monster helped Plato create his theory of leaving the cave to find the truth and enlightenment in the loving noodles of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. In conclusion our clergy in Italy will be holding a service about his son the Flying Ramen Noodle Monster who is destined to become the new savior.

Thank you for the theory of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. In my years of trying to find a faith to cling onto I must say the theory of FSM is just as valid as that of Intelligent Design and should be taught along side of it in school. The word “God” can be used to describe this higher being. It is very plausible. Saint Anselm even stated, “even a fool is convinced that something exists.” If a person can conceive of the perfect being then who is to say spaghetti cannot give rise to something perfect. People want to believe in a good, benevolent higher creator. Spaghetti is something that people quite enjoy. In another statement, Thomas Aquinas even has said that reason cannot establish the claims of faith. God has never been clearly defined. FSM is definitely the theory I have been searching for. Who knew eating something so delicious was actually an extension of my creator.

I for myself do not believe in FSM, because the Universals once said, can God create a rock He can’t lift? So, we must ask, can the FSM create a meatball it can’t carry? And if the FSM can create everything, can it create a being stronger than itself? If not this implies that he is not all powerful and if so he is limited by his powers, and is not all powerful. As Zeno stated you can’t have one true theory that goes hand in hand with a “false” theory. As you stated the FSM is an all powerful existing being that created the Earth. In that case I have proven that he is not all powerful all stating the FSM does not exist and did not create the Earth. As Zeno’s theory reduction to the absurd, you cannot have an FSM without its ability to create a higher being.

I think all of the people that believe in this ridiculous “religion” most not take anything seriously since this is absurd. Using Socrates’ method of reducto ad absurdum, how do you know if this Flying Spaghetti Monster is in fact spaghetti if it is invisible? Also by Ockham’s Razor you’ve created another ID theory which has made things more complex then before. Ockham’s Razor states that the simplest and least complex theory is the best discrediting your theory.
Thank you and Goodnight!

It was Thales that stated water was the basis for all existence. His theory was disproved by Anaximander and his claim that nothing can give rise to its opposite. Simply stating that if water was the basis for all existence how can there be fire? Supposedly “God” is a perfect being. And us as his creation are imperfect beings. Right? That makes us his opposites, and if nothing can create its opposite then therefore god cannot exist. However, last time I checked there was to opposite for spaghetti so in summary the flying spaghetti monster gave rise to us all.
