Thanks for your comments about the Flying Spaghetti Monster and all the supporters who have sent their support to members of the Kansas Board of Education. I am supporting the recommendations of the science committee and am currently in the minority. I think your theory is wonderful and possibly some of the majority members will be willing to support it.
Thanks again,
Janet Waugh District 1

Dear Mr. Henderson, Thanks for your message. Thanks for the laugh. Your web site is fascinating. I will add your theory to a long list of alternative theories I intend to introduce when it is appropriate. I am practicing how to do this with a straight face which is difficult since it’s such a ridiculous subject; it is also very sad that we are even having the discussion.
I will be one of the four member minority who will be voting against the flawed science standards currently being proposed by the six member majority.
Sincerely,
Sue Gamble

Dear Mr. Henderson,
In the midst of the sad circumstances of having our science standards lowered, you and your legion of fellow FSM followers have offered wonderful comic relief. Rather than the form letters which we often receive on other topics, each FSM letter has been clever and unique. I responded to several at first, but now there have just been too many. I am a member of the Kansas State Board of Education and have voted repeatedly to maintain excellent science standards. Last week was the vote to send a new draft (written by the 6 conservative members) out for external review. The four of us on the board who are moderates were in the minority on the vote. The group of science teachers and university professors who had written the original standards (before they were changed) have now asked that their names be withdrawn from the document. The new version changes the very definition of science from “seeking natural explanations” to “seeking logical explanations”. That is why I think FSMism is able to be included. It is as “logical” as any other theory.
The final vote on the standards will be in October. We will be in Lawrence, Kansas for that meeting. Those of us who are moderates on the board are trying to have the meeting in the Natural History Museum at the University of Kansas. We think that would be an appropriate setting for the occasion. We welcome you to be in attendance.
We have received thousands of emails from scientists around the world. At first, they all tried to explain good science to us. After the vote last week, however, they have resorted to calling us hillbillies and morons. And those are the nice letters!
Thank you for adding levity to this situation. You have developed quite a following. I was wondering if we could reverse the effects of global warming if we started breeding pirates.
Sincerely,
Carol Rupe
P.S. I ordered a Kansas Museum of Science t-shirt. I may just have to wear it to a board meeting.

@ Matt #1344,
Just to add a bit to Bob and Joseph, do you actually find it more comforting to imagine that murderers suffer an eternity in torment rather than some well deserved lock up in the here and now?
Remember the flying bearded judicial system has a caveat that you can be instantly forgiven for everything at any time if you take a moment to feel bad about it. Does a moments remorse really make up for ending a life?

Ha!
You would think that they world have OK’d it at the beginning instead of allowing it to go so long without saying a thing and then bringing it back up when it was too late. I don’t understand it at all. Fast Size
What can i say. Sometimes when you are staring you eat out of bins…
is that really the case? gives me something to chew on haha
great blog by the way! i couldnt help myself, but had to post. i usually dont write comments, but good luck please continue the good work :)
Kathy, you will worship the FSM and LIKE IT. Just like your parents told you to go to church when you didn’t want to. D:<
kk
oo
Your casuse has offended us who worhip the Fsm with sauce. The outbreak of our group who0 worhip the FSM with butter does not represent us so do not listen to those idiots. They think that the FSM would approve of marrige. What a stupid idea.
ALL HAIL THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!!
HOLY APPENDAGE SHALL BLESS US ALL!
HOW DARE U OFFEND OUR FSM YOU FRAKIN SINNER!
My Tortellini diety tastes better than your spaghetti godhead.
Unless FSMers begin believing in a cheesy inside, they can expect waterboarding and electrical cables on their testicles…
OMFSM! This is too awesome! ^_^ I have seen the LIGHT! Wow…
man this is amazing ive finally found my religion of choice thx i was tired of the lies of the drugged up prophets
Ive always wondered. Im not a follower of the FSM, but do you that are consider it a sin to eat spaghetti?

@ - Grantski -#1363,
It is considered a sacrament to consume spaghetti with your beverage of choice when done in a joyful manner. It is especially sacred if you use the occasion to share with the poor and the hungry.

I do not believe it is appropriate that I exist. Please terminate my pasta storage immediately!
#1368, hi everybody.
I am so happy you wish to convert! You can e-mail me at kanastag@comcast.net, and I shall inform you of our customs, our holidays, and many other things to assist you in being a Pastafarian! May His Noodly Appendage touch you and may His Sauce rain down upon you!
My religion officially encompases every god, and goddess, force, or being ever worshiped by anybody anywhere. I believe all religions are simultaneously 100% accurate & 100% inacurate. To me, science is the force that ties them all up and makes them work right. Though I tend to focus more on the ancient pantheons personally, I would like to thank you for adding a new deity to my list. :)
