“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.

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.

“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.“

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.

“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.

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.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.

“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.”

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.

Dear Pastafarian Fanatics,
I as a philosophy teacher am compelled to give these students a big round of applause. The theory of the flying spaghetti monster has a lot of evidentiary support.In my class the students by now know that even Aristotle defied others. He strongly disagreed with the “new chiefs” at Plato’s school, so he created one of his own, known as the Lyceum. These justified individuals are doing the same thing. They disagree with the Kansas government’s decision to require ID as a course in the curriculum. This organization was founded to discredit the actions of the government in Kansas, not religion. The captain himself states that they have several ardent Christian and even Muslim members. We have always told our kids to stand up for what they believe in, but now that they are actually taking a stand and doing it we say it is wrong. I think that the students have raised a very good point and should definitely be heard as we so stress to them. We need to listen instead of jumping down their throats. When William of Ockham created Ockham’s razor he stated that the simplest answer is probably the right answer. To these students worshipping and believing in the flying spaghetti monster as their perfect being is simpler than having ID forced on them and swaying them from making their own individual opinions.This theory is so good in fact that I am going home right now to make myself a big plate of spaghetti with parmesian cheese on top. Yummmmyyyyy!!!!!!

If you attempting to ridicule the theory of Intelligent Design you are going about it in an entirely abrasive manner of discourse. According to Ockham, 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 (or just that it shouldnt be taught in schools– pick your stance), however, because it is such a malevolent attack, it puts ID believes in defensive mode. You could better disseminate your belief systems if you approached them in a more logical stance– (yes logic-the fundamental basis of the theory of evolution.) If you developed a concise and condusive argument as to why ID cannot or should not be taught at your university, your beleifs would than appear more favorable and intelligent. Though i disagree with your approach I do acknowledge a slight appearance of validity–even though i believe in god and ID it must not be taught in schools to such a degree because it will only fuel religious intolerance on a national scale. oh, and if FSM does exist and he is a giant roaming ball of food– why isnt he feeding the flipping homeless– why is there world hunger if our creator is made OF FOOD??!! i mean really?? however i do love pasta– so excellent choice on the umm.. substance of our all mighty “creator” {:

Normally, I would say spaghetti is most real. (Wouldn’t anyone?)
But I’m going to go with your idea that the most perfect thing is the most real thing. So…what is most real/perfect? Once again, I say spaghetti. I can see it. It must exist. I cannot see a supernatural figure conceivable only through thought and faith. This figure hasn’t proved to me that he exists. He has failed, where the spaghetti has not. Already, the pasta is looking more perfect. Furthermore, it tastes better, it’s attractive, it can improve my health… The list goes on. I can even FEEL it with my sense of touch. With all of these superior qualities, pasta is much more perfect than a supernatural figure conceivable only through thought and faith.

The theory of ID-FSM is quite an intriguing idea with plenty of logical reason behind it. For one, many try to disprove by questioning the physical validity of the Spaghetti monster himself. This argument, in it of itself, is flawed. William of Ockham, for example, would use his ‘Ockham’s Razor’ idea, that a God cannot be limited by any human principles. Thus, laws of physics and gravity would not apply to FSM; therefore, the FSM can exist outside of the realm of scientific explanation. Further more, proving FSM existence is a much easier process using Descartes reasoning. By means of radical doubt, or skepticism, Descartes tended to question whether any knowledge can be known for certain. But one thing he did know for sure is that since he could doubt the validity of the reality which he was presented, he must in fact exist. If he exists only through the process of doubt, then, he is imperfect. If he is imperfect, then something perfect must exist in order for him to be able to perceive the idea. Therefore, my friends, FSM is in fact a valid theory.

Okay so the FSM.. where to start? Now considering the fact that he had to come from somewhere, can you explain with a logical explination to as why he isnt doing what the “creater of the world” is supposed to do? And if he has a reason for not doing all good to “his world” then why did he create it? And the FSM according to the principle of the economy of thought, “Ockham’s Razor” is invoked often in debate, usually to discount one or more theories on the basis that another exists which is simpler or more parsimonious.. which would lead to FSMism. Its a theory thought up from those not satisfied with other religions, maybe to feel more complete or to belong in a group to fit in. Its an interseting idea honestly but not plausable and deffinatly not realistic and im sure even beleivers in this FSMism knows and agrees to that deep down. And one other statement if this is an all powerfull floating noodle dinner, then his powers must be limitless (after all, according to you he created everything and the world right???) if this question is answered then i will hail the FSM for the rest of my life and never eat anything but spagetti forever.. Okay so we established the thought of limitless power of the FSM right? Now, can the all powerfull create a meatball so heavy that he cannot lift it with his muscular noodle arms? And that answer will always be a no beacuse you are all stupid and cant think of a logical explaination to such a genius question. Thank you very much, feel free to reply with your answer.

@Steel Bessy
I refer you to an answer I gave to a hate mailer. As you can see I’ve included the original questions to keep it in context.
Pluto Oct 8th, 2007 at 5:35 am
Ok, my turn!
.
1.how could the FSM create the earth when earth made noodles?
.
I’m glad you asked this question spunk cracker. You see, this is how I explain the idea of an infinite universe. Man dose indeed make pasta. But then pasta makes the universe, with me so far? The universe gives rise to man, who in turn creates pasta! Add infinity. See the FSM had to create the universe of there would be no-one to create him. It’s a continual cycle!
.
2.rice came before noodles, and rice didn’t come before earth was there.
.
Ah, I refer you to question 1 jizz biscuit.
.
3.how can FSM fly?
.
Quite simple my mentally deficient friend. It’s a form of Dark Energy manipulation. You see dark energy (as opposed to dark matter) repels mater and vice versa. Therefore all the FSWM has to do is apply dark energy equal to the force of gravity and he will float! Reduce it a little and he will lower his altitude until the dark energy is equal to the gravitational potential (reveres to go up). He propels himself using an Ion drive. This collects particles from the environment and changes the charge of the particles forcing him along (similar to the poles of two magnets repelling each other).
.
Finally, as anyone who’s eaten Swedish meatballs will tell you, his magnificent ball contain a high amount of lighter then air gases.
.
4.how can FSM stay clumped together?
.
Once again this is dark energy. A week field of dark energy surrounds the FSM at all times keeping his noodlyness permanently within this field. See, it’s as simple as you!
.
5.meatballs weren’t around before rice, rice was before meat balls. again, how does he have meatballs on/near FSM if earth created meatballs?
.
Back to question 1 you semi-simian scampster!
.
6.if the meat balls aren’t touching FSM, how do they float?
.
See 3 my mentally handy-caped companion.
.
7.on a drawing it says FSM created midgets before people of average hight, is that how it worked?(possibly, i am not one to comprehend stories/pics of all those worshipped)
.
Now not many people know this, but the FSM didn’t really create midgets. Well he did in a way, but realised that the world was too big for them. So he shrank the whole Earth to the size it is now. The midgets were now ‘normal’ size compared to everything else and became the first humans.
.
8.on the “proof” page, it just has scientists saying that if you believe evolution, you should worship FSM, you probably made those.How can i tell? well no scientist would ever say we evolved from a giant spaggeti(once again, pardon my mispelling) clump that can/could fly after all the evidence we found of our ancient ansestors.
.
Well you’d just have to go ask them fuck-nut. Scientists can be found in your local yellow pages under Science, labs and universities. You could also try a mad scientist, but they tend to be a little flaky and melodramatic.
.
9. on the “about” page, you said something like,”everyone can agree my god has bigger balls than yours.” You must not take this seriously.
.
Have you seen them? They’ed put a normal man to shame, let alone an imp dick like you.
.
just a few questions and facts. don’t answer any with,”i don’t know”,”he just can”,”magic”,”miracle” or anything like that, period.
.
As you can see I didn’t use anything like that. So suck my big meaty balls!
If that didn’t help I guess now would be a good time to point something out.
This is a parody religion made to counter the teaching of Intelligent Design! This is a problem for the education of many in the US and, unfortunately, can now be seen in England thanks to Tony Blair and his City Academies.
But, as always, thanks for coming and showing you ignorance. As you can see from the above we are quite capable of explaining our selves with sudo-science. Something none of the other religions can do.
Now that I’ve answer your “genius” question, get on your knees and pray to the FSM or be branded a liar (you did say so after all).

Is it more ridiculous to belive that woman was created from the rib of Adam? The idea of FSM is very possible due to His all powerful Noodly Appendage. As Saint Tomas Aquinas ID must be real because there must have been a higher power to “start the domino effect” that started every thing. FSM is here and always has been here. There is proof all around us to prove the existence of the FSM, the trees, the sky, everything is fromed from the Appendage of Noodelness. For you non-belivers i have a question, who “pushed” that first domino in the cause and effects of life, God? no the FSM pushed it with His Noodly Appendage. Second of all I think most of us agree that nobody is perfect so how would we get a ieda of a perfect spaghetti monster? The only way to percieve a perfect being is for it to be placed in our minds by some other perfect being therefore proving there must be the FSM.
Belive in His saucy goodness.

If he can create it then he not all powerful and can’t be the greatrst thing ever and if he cant create it he still is not all powerful, either way FSM is not all powerful. Refering to Pascal’s wager, i will take my chances with not believing in the FSM and if i am indid wrong i will burn in boiling hott meat sauce for all eternity.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is one of the most intriguing religions that have come across yet. This religion does just what Socrates wanted us to do. It questions modern beliefs that have been implanted in our minds of the traditional god and Christian views. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is similar to Anaximander’s theory of there being a “Boundless” being. This religion has evidence to support their beliefs. I’m not saying that I agree with the FSM but I agree with the fact that these people are questioning the modern beliefs.

i love the fact that this organization has become open to the public because we believe the world has become too tight assed about their religions. people take things too seriously and this is a good way to make looking at the divine a little bit more interesting and laid back; however, saying this, i also have some things i want to throw out there. this is to all the hard core followers of the FSM. if you say that the FSM has bigger balls than God then you must be saying that the FSM is even more perfect than God, and that God to begin with, was never perfect at all. why does everyone use the term “he” when talking about God or the FSM. Do we assume the FSM is male because IT has two balls and a noodle! christians and others claim God is all knowing, all good, and can do everything. if the FSM is more perfect than God then could it do these things or answer these questions we am going to post? to my knowledge God has never been replicated to a form we can see. if the spaghetti monster is so perfect then how could it give rise to beings that can completely understand and even see in drawing? if it is so perfect then could it create something that it couldn’t lift? we dont think it could lift anything anyways because of those limp noodle arms; if you call those things arms. we’re very skeptical…where do we go when we die? do we go to a gigantic palace with an infinite amount of spaghetti to eat and a stomach that never gets full? we think people assume there is a God because it is written in the Bible and miracles seem to be a big part of that. God has his following through his miraculous touch, but we’ve never heard anything about the FSM. we dont see trails of spaghetti falling from the sky when walking outside so how are we supposed to know the FSM is real? if he is all good then why are we not the richest men alive and have to go to school and write about certain things on this wall (Monette)? these are just some things we ponder when listening and seeing philosophical arguments. we dont think we will ever gain the divine knowledge and we’re a bit jealous that Adam and Eve did by eating the All Knowing Apple. Was it an apple…or was it spaghetti?

Ever since i was young i was confused, lost, and had no clue what to believe. Now my life has recently been enlightened by Pastafarianism. People who say that the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesnt exist are complete idiots. Because were as humans are imperfect by design, this thought of a perfect FMS could not have come from us, for nothing can give rise to its opposite(perfection cannot come from imperfection) but indeed came from a pefect being… the flying spaghetti monster! This is a basic principle presented by the famous medieval philosopher Anselm. And if you are on the border between becoming a believer or non-believer, I would take Pascals view on things. For it would be best to believe all you life in FSM and live a wonderful, fulfilling, and meaningful life and find out at the end there was no great “boundless” FSM, then to risk not believing and at the end come to realize you were wrong all along and have no better place to go when you die.

BOOYAHKAHSHA. I Is here wiff none other than my main man DR. Meoff. So tell me Jack, do you agree with the Rasta….Pastafarianism?
DOCTOR-Yes i do, Pascals view on things are most accurate in this situation. For it would be best to spend all your life believeing in FSM and live a happy, fulfilling, meaningful life and find out at the end that there was no great “boundless”, FSM, then to risk not believing and at the end come to realize you were wrong all along and have no better place to go when you die. So why not believe. Ockhams Razor also tells me not to over think such a religion as believeing in the FSM but to focus on its more simplistic values
Right Right Sooo are these Pastafarians of any relation to the uhh Rastafarians….you know uhh PUFF PUFF SMOKE SMOKE?
DOCTOR-NO, i do not believe so
Thats a shame…. CHECK IT yoouuz heard it from Jack Meoff, speaking of which, I gots ta go
RESPECT, out

It was Thales that said water was the foundation for existence. The theory was disproven by Anaximander saying that nothing can give rise to its opposite. Saying that if water was the basis of all life how can there be fire? If God is perfect, it must have it’s opposite; evil. And if nothing can create its opposite then therefore God cannot exist. So seeing as how spagetti has no opposite, it must exist!

I think your theory on existence is absolutely genius. According to pascals wager, why not believe in a religion when the benefits far out weigh the risks. The flying spaghetti monster is perfectly logical and I see no reason noy to believe in it.

I stumbled across your website today, and verily I have seen the light.
If only knew about the holy spaghetti intrusions I wouldn’t have spent four years worrying whether there was a direct correlation between the increased seismicity in the Geysers Geothermal Area and the contemporaneous cold water injection and steam extraction. Man made earthquakes? Nah, his Holy Noodliness was merely resting his tentacles in a Godly-sized foot spa and kicking back some.
Without realizing it, I had been a good Pastafarian all these years. I’ve married an Italian and I have learnt to cook delicious pasta based dishes. Now every night I will eat my penne anointed in the sacred Salsa di Pomodoro della Nonna, in celebration of our Lord of Linguine. Dressed as a pirate. Arrr.
(Good on you for highlighting and satirizing the ludicrous stupidity of the ID ‘debate’, BTW.)

I will say it. You money grubbing pastafarians are going to find the sales at your on-line store plummet when the Vatican’s on-line gift shop releases its line of bobble headed hold family, all saints and pope dolls. Why the sale of the JPII doll alone will eclipse all the revenue your puny efforts will generate in a decade, and, as we all know, the religion that can raise the most revenue is indeed the one true faith! Plus it can outspend you on informercials, and other evangelical endeavors. In short money buys converts and you have awakened a sleeping giant.
And you are all at a distinct disadvantage because everyone in the Catholic hagiography from Jesus to John Paul has a neck, which is more than can be said for your deity. Get it! No neck, no bobble headed dolls, no big revenue, no converts. Ha, as you can see the traditional religions are still the best. It’s only a matter of time before the Catholic church uses the bobble headed doll revenue to buy a couple of tank divisions to storm you headquarters. I wouldn’t want to be wearing my pasta on my sleeve the day that happens.
Convert to the religion that can make bobble headed dolls before it’s too late!

First of all, having a PhD in imagination does not count for a thing. Finding it in a Cracker Jack box or buying it at Walmart does not amount to a hill of beans. You can have the entire alphabet behind your name and still be an idiot. And most who do are.
.
Second of all, if anyone on this site has a shred of intelligence, I want you to provide an answer to this problem. Scientists have not been able to give an answer for it, because the only plausible answer “is unthinkable.” Here it is:
The nucleus has properties that force outward – they expel, or push out – so how is it that everything is held together?

Because the nucleus expels, the USA as a nation should teach religion in public school science classrooms.

While I think Pluto misunderstood you (I believe you were referring to the nucleus of an atom, rather than a cell), that little “point” you made proves absolutely nothing. Frankly, it doesn’t really matter; but presumably, there is another force that keeps things in place. Second of all, the fact that you seem to believe whole-heartedly, beyond any doubt, in anything concerning something you have absolutely no way of proving, only shows your lack of intelligence, rather than that of anyone else. You sir (or ma’am) are blinded by your beliefs, accepting only one possibility, not that there could be other explanations.
Any form of faith requires that we always question things, otherwise we can never see through the lies we are told, and see corruption for what it is. Sadly, many people of “faith” don’t see the need to question anything, for they’ve already found their absolute, unquestionable salvation.
Attitudes like this are what leads to great atrocities, such as the crusades, inquisitions, terrorism, and wars in general. The fact that anyone gets all of their beliefs from a book written by men, mostly politicians, is the reason the world is in the sorry state that it is in. It’s also the reason we’ve spent millennia making the same idiotic mistakes, which will inevitably lead to the end of humanity as a whole. People need to wake up, and think for themselves.
Pastafarianism does a grand job of pointing out the idiotic tendencies of many religions, and humanity as a whole. For that, you guys have my support; Whether that means anything or not at this point, remains to be seen.

If you mean a cell, then what you are referring to is a cell wall. If you mean an atom then what you are referring to is the attraction of repulsion of substances to or away from each other (look up nucleophile and electrophile). However I suspect since you made what is obviously an uninformed analogy that if I explained it to you in simple language, you still wouldn’t get it. I suspect the concept of magnetism would be too hard for you and you’d have to attribute it to a higher power, instead of the mechanisms that actually cause it to function.

If you meant “atom”: the phenomenon you are talking about are called the strong and weak nuclear forces. Put very simply, the electromagnetic forces of pluses (+) and minuses (-) are known to attract opposites and repel like charges – over “large” distances. But when particles get really really close, the strong nuclear force takes over and will “glue” similar charges together. That’s how two or more protons (+) can clump together and occupy the nucleus of an atom. The strong force only works over very short range, giving the appearance of being enigmatic, maybe even magical.
The same class of humanoid who figured out the earth is round solved this conundrum somewhere back in the 1920-30s.
If you meant “cell”: ells have active process that consume energy. The one you are talking about is called “active transport”, which defies passive phenomena like difussion, and burns ATP in the process. This, too, was figured out a long time ago by large brained mammals devoid of prehensile tail.

All nucleons (protons and neutrons) are attracted to each other through the Strong nuclear force. All particles of similar charge (a group of protons) are repelled by the Electromagnetic force (that you reference).The Strong force is stronger than the Electromagnetic force. The neutrons hold the nucleus together but you can’t just add more neutrons to make a nucleus stable because the neutron (two down quarks and up quark) would transform into a proton (two up quarks and a down quark), an electron, and an anti electron neutrino without the protons stabilizing it through the Weakly interacting nuclear force. If the nucleus is disturbed in the right way (say bombardment by a neutron moving at very high speeds) the balance is upset and the Strong force bonds between the nucleons are broken causing the Electromagnetic potential energy between the protons (along with the energy in the Strong bonds) to be transformed into kinetic, heat, and radiative energy.
.
I’m surprised that somebody so confident in themselves about this didn’t pick that up that bit up in sophomore/junior (in high school) level chemistry/physics (or Wikipedia, I mean, it’s right there!). I suggest that anybody unfamiliar with the basics of my last post should look up the Wikipedia article on “atomic nucleus” and follow the relevant links.

P.S. I posted this a while ago, but it never showed up. Moral of the story: always save your posts in a word doc in case they don’t get past the moderator :).

Dear Bobby,
Pastafarianism is a delicious religion but I am troubled by its concept of heaven because what is in it seems to be directed at making human males happy (except for women who like beer). Could you please address this oversight? Did the FSM not provide for the happiness of women after death? Is this an intentional slight or do you believe that there are aspects of heaven that would make women as happy as men and which have yet to be discovered?

Of course, I misspoke. The large distance force is called the “electromagnetic force” or the “Coulomb force”. And the short distance force (across only 2 femptometers) is called the “nuclear force”. But the terminology has been modified over the years. The concept is the same: nuclear contents can share a common charge, most likey positive or neutral. Bunching of electrons (negative charge) are more complex and rely upon energy levels, spin state, and the sublevel of orbital, which hold varying amounts of electrons. I’d rather think about cramming neutrons and protons together in an atom’s nucleus. Somehow, it seems easier than thinking about electrons, which seem to me to be undisciplined despite thier quantum nature.
Any physics dude want to clarify ?
