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,

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professors who had written the original standards (before they were changed) have now asked that their names be withdrawn from the document.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.

Greetings fellow pastafarians…
I am a Lasagna Priest of the Holy Venice Orthodox Pastafarian Church a.k.a. “HoVOPaCh” (recently invented in this post). I am filled with joy to know that these ancient beliefs are spread throughout the world–may His noodly appendage bestow Saint Bobby Henderson with years and years of existence and Holy Marinara Sauce…
Also I would like to add some recently discovered information regarding pastafarianism that came to me in a dream, apparently The Lord Pasta wanted me to expose this to the community. FSM, one and only creator of the universe, is responsible for the existence of all the prophane religions (that is everything that is not encompassed by FSMism). He created them in order to reduce the demographic income to heaven due to the lack of space (and strippers…) “At the end of times, 2/3s of the world will be pastafarian, the other third will be burnt by the flames of the deadly oven and will not have access to the beer volcano (they will be the ones who ferment the beer :D), but they do have access to the stripper factory…that is if my Archangel Chuck Norris desires such action”. Yes fellow pirates, I know it may seem surprising but FSM came up with the idea of “that guy in the cross”, “that guy with the muslim stuff” and “the other guys”, then he erased the memory of every single human on earth so that he could (randomly) pick each and everyone of his true followers, which actually doesn’t matter because the only difference will be to “beer or not to beer”. Everything I said is of course supported by heavily pasta altered scientifical facts that are intentionally uncomprehensible to all of those who do not follow the gospel of FSM.
May the Meatball, the Noodle and the Sauce be with you all.

Not too long ago, and acquaintance of mine (for lack of a better term) came at me, wielding his Bible-black tyranny in my face, and trying to force his doctrines down the throats of my friends and I, when I and my close friend (I will call him A.R. – also a priest of the FSM) began countering his illogical tirade with our logical and sound doctrine. This did not make the Christian happy, as these sort of things seldom do. One of those “I have a pizza, you have a pizza, but mine is better, and yours is wrong” kind of things. Anyways, to make a long story short, the offended Christian punched me in the face!? So I beat him up…

Early one winters morning a number of weeks ago, I was touhed in the middle of the night…. His noodly appendage touched me in a way I have never been touched before.
This has changed my life in so many ways.
In the past my life was dull and I had nothing to live for, my life was a concotion of pies, mash and bread.
But now I have a purpose, a realon to live. ‘He’ has set me to work in the most unique way. I am now living my life a s fully flegged pirate. I assume to reduce global warming.
I have huge balls (of spaghetti goodness) and am currently traveling the coast of italy to convince the heathen’s that pasta is not only a healthy opion, but the way to salvation of the soul.

Thanks for this, I just wish I could send this to our school board, I live in a country in TN which WON’T teach evolution, as a result my boys were behind in college when they arrived. Living in a bible thumping area if I were to bring this up, my daughter would lose her teaching job and my husbands business would be hurt, also I would probably receive death threats, these people take their bible seriously, I did my best with my children not letting them be indoctrinated into these cults but we have to live with them also.

I was in Corsica about 18 months ago. There, they have small stone castles every few miles along the coast, constructed centuries ago to warn the population about the approach of pirates. I note that Italy, where pasta reigns supreme in the cuisine, is quite near Corsica. This juxtaposition of pirates and pasta simply cannot be a coincidence.

Well, that did it, I am now a confirmed Pastafarian, and plan on entering missionary service for the FSM as soon as possible, having been unknowingly honored by several direct observances of Him in the garbage truck as the bins dumped.
Mind you those may have been angels of the FSM, since they were fairly small, and did not fly very far, but I have faith that they have arisen in triumph from the landfill and flown unsinged through the flames of the incinerator.

I would like to tell you about my journey to Altai. It was two years ago; I went there with my girlfriend.
First of all we got ready for it, and bought some new clothes in the shop. I bought a new sport suit, boots
and some other things. I went to buy our tickets at the last moment, because I didn’t know at first that we
ere going to Altai.
In the first travel agency I visited there were no tickets because it was the very end of August. In the second
agency there was a ticket to Eden boardhouse near the lake Teletskoe, the loveliest
place for foreign tourists in Altai. After all agreements with her mother (she was just 16 years old) we set off
for the trip. I got to her house on the other bank of the river Ob by taxi and took her with me; her mother was
a bit nervous, because she didn’t know me very well, but wished a good summer vacation for her daughter.
We went to the other Ob bank to the station of the tourist bus. There were
a lot of people there, because some buses set off at one and the same moment, and people didn’t know what bus was
to be taken. Two beggars were on their duty near the big crowd, they hoped to get some money for vodka.
Then all the people got on the buses at last. In the bus “A Caucasian captive” film was shown. I think it is a
tradition for all the buses which go to Altai. It was a late evening already so my girl fell asleep, her head
on my knees, and soon I fell asleep too… The next day we were waked by the noise of the river Biya, which runs
out of the lake Teletskoe, and I thought that we were approaching our destination; it was right. After 20 minutes
we got off near the lake and director of the camp met us.
The first thing we did was to go to the shore, and it was beautiful. The lake was surrounded by great mountains,
and the sun was rising above them, and early morning mist was laying on the surface of the lake – it was like a
dream. Then we went to the dinner which took place at the verandah. In the building next to it there was a skin
of a bear hanging on the wall. I must say that people say that there are a lot of bears in Altai and local people
make a profit doing good souvenirs from their claws and other parts of body. The waiter brought us some big pies
and tea and we had an excellent meal. Then we went to our apartment…

Thank you for the support for our Supreme being. We have long been pleading for acceptance of our faith. Reasoning that any God only exists in the imagination of his/hers followers, based on a generally accepted historical document which only merit is that it is old, I would like to emphasize that it is only a matter of time (say about 2000 years or so) to get the FSM scriptures the same value as any other ‘religious’ document. OF course this is the true test of the Supreme FSM, to create a world which to everyone seems to be billions of years old AND at the same time giving us his scriptures which seem to be very new, but that are in fact the oldest scriptures in existence. Praise be FSM.

Even though i can understand the ideas of these school board memebers and how they think this religion is….well…funny….is it not wrong to laugh at another persons religion…to be honest if we want to believe in something like this there is nothing that says we cant and to laugh at us is a discrimination and a mockery of what some people might actually belive, being if that is true. If you look at all religions, more than not, believe in a absoult power, hindus, Jews, catholic, Church of Christ, ect. To laugh at this and insult it like Mrs. Sue Gamble – District 2 did..even though it was 3yrs ago..i just want to point out the fact that its not right. YES we do have our rights to opinion but if you cant talk about a religion with a modest appearance then dont try at all. I would rather see a religion ignored then made into a joke, and i say that for all thoughts and beliefs.
Thanks,

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness, because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

ok, invisble, powerful, inmortal… what else? I can also quote:
The Dragon In My Garage by Carl Sagan:
[...]
Now, what’s the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all? If there’s no way to disprove my contention, no conceivable experiment that would count against it, what does it mean to say that my dragon exists? Your inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not at all the same thing as proving it true. Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder. What I’m asking you to do comes down to believing, in the absence of evidence, on my say-so.
The only thing you’ve really learned from my insistence that there’s a dragon in my garage is that something funny is going on inside my head. You’d wonder, if no physical tests apply, what convinced me. The possibility that it was a dream or a hallucination would certainly enter your mind. But then, why am I taking it so seriously? Maybe I need help. At the least, maybe I’ve seriously underestimated human fallibility.
[...]
So, we know our Creator was the FSM, not a god “resembling mortal human beings ” as yours
“what can be known about God ” equals 0, as nowadays “known” is not “believed”. I can only known -better “supose”- if there are proofs (real proofs, not collective hallucinations). Religion is a matter of faith
your credulity is astonishing. I hope we can discuss that at heaven, near a beer volcano

The FSM came to me in a dream and shew’d to me things wonderful to see.
He showed me the meatball center that he put in each and every planet, hidden deep from the prying eyes of man, he revealed to me the translucent veil of Romano cheese that differentiates a follower of FSM from one who has not yet come to the Marinara.
The world will know that pirates are indeed necessary and sufficient, lets just hope this knowledge comes before the polar bears have no wear to run.
