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professors who had written the original standards (before they were changed) have now asked that their names be withdrawn from the document.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

Fantastic. Finally a church I can belong to, and eat the sauce too. Show me the meatballs, oh great FSM!
And just a quick note, I just read the local Jehova’s news pamphlet, which included an article about science and the theory of evolution, and I just thought you should all know that, accordingly, the fine molecular theory has never been scientifically proved.
(umm… what?)

Response from Mr. Filippo ****** – Italy – Received 22/2/08
From: Filippo
To: bobby.henderson@gmail.com (well, not really, just a reply on this website =P)
Date: Feb 22, 2008 3:32 PM
Subject: Considerations
Well, the first time I actually happened to see a drawing of the FSM (in a flash on Newgrounds), I didn’t understand what the hell was it supposed to match with the whole surrounding…
Today, scrolling various articles of the free press newspaper Metro, I was caught in astonishment when a giant picture of the FSM itself made it’s appearance in the middle of the page!
After reading the article, I felt like I HAD to go and look for the website of such an original (and hilarious) idea.
Now that I’ve seen the text of the letter (the Italian translated version isn’t totally fair to the English one) I must say you’d deserve to have this ipothesis to be taught as a subject, at least for it’s “logicity” (to be intended with the same meaning Mrs. Carol Rupe meant it to be).
Sadly, most people I know just don’t understand that it -could really- be a FSM out there, as well as any other entity suggested by any else religion!
For the same reason, the “pirates-global temperature” connection, in fact, isn’t less credible than the “Greenhouse effect”. Actually, both are only based on graphs about statistics and the “Greenhouse” one in neither more accurate nore more “logical”.
As a result of these considerations, I offer you my full support, invisible and untouchable of course!
Sincerly,
Filippo
P.S.: sorry for my not perfect English: it isn’t my mother language!

I am going to design pamphlets of my own, that three fit on an A4 paper, so that I will only have to print 1/3 of the actual amount needed. Since my printers exploded, and the librarian at school is rather unfriendly. I will also design a similar poster in A4 format and stick them wherever it is not illegal.
This is going to be so much fun.

“When one person suffers from delusions, its called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.” – Robert Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
This arose as a quotation by John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834–1902). The historian and moralist, who was otherwise known simply as Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”
Another English politician with no shortage of names – William Pitt the Younger, The Earl of Chatham and British Prime Minister from 1766 to 1778, is sometimes wrongly attributed as the source. He did say something similar, in a speech to the UK House of Lords in 1770:
“Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it”
-http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/288200.html
When this country was founded it was done so with the belief that religion would be a free choice, when teaching Creationism based on faith enters the school system, the system will crumble because they must propose every other possible language, including Pastafarian and Rastafarian. They are opening Pandora’s Box and are going to regret it for the rest of their natural born lives and the lives they live in the future, whatever the FSM has in mind for these no believers.
Praise and Pasta Be with You.

On the previous comment, I am missing a couple of things.
First is the second Quote, by Baron Acton, “Power Corrupts, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.”
Second is when I stated language, what I meant to say was Religion, but I am sure you could have figured that out through the context of the passage.
There is a new voice for Pastafarians in N.O. and I will be out every Friday on Burbon St. supporting the FSM and Hurricane Drinks from Pat O’s and Grenades (and maybe a strip club from time to time =P).
Praise and Pasta Be with You.

Ok, as I read that letter the whole time I thought to myself, “WTF!” How can someone write the words “noodly appendage” without bursting out laughing. I myself am laughing now. I mean really, come on, Flying Spaghetti Monster!?! Get real, I may not have a clear opinion in my head about religion, I mean I belive in God but I don’t believe everything that the Bible says, but this whole religion, if one can call it that, is a joke!

yes Josh, please continue… what does he/she/it look like? how tall is your God? Or is it more like a pure energy being? Does it have spatial and temporal contiguity?
what drives your belief? Have you met or spoken with your god? did you catch a glimpse of your god on a foggy road when night was falling?
and does your god interact with you? the world? if so how?
please be as detailed as possible.

You guys need to remember that we are one of the only religons who can say we havn’t killed anyone to join or promote our religon. We obviously make the most sense, but we respect all others religons. I’m sure if everyone sawa ll of the overwhelming scientific evidence of His Noodley Ones existance, they would believe in him aswell. Maybe instead of trying to threaten with noodley holy war, you should grab your eye patch and your parrot, make some pamphlets and spread the word of our FSM.

Leo—It is due to the poverty of your imagine that you can not fathom how his greatness could be crucified. If the great one would allow it, you would merely tie together, with tie-wraps, several of his noodley appendages—the spike, (nail etc.) would be placed between them. Clearly his holiness has seen fit not to endow you with perception. As for me, I have personally visted with the great one and he has revealed to me that you should be crucified in his place for even suggesting such a thing.

As I read most of this enlighted website that spreads the world of our creator the godly FSM, I have converted to the most devoted beliver. After viewing some of the sightings, He appeared in my dreams and I was touched by His noodly appendage. He, our creator, the being we should pay tribute to, has been neglected by the ignorant hordes of humans that betrayed Him adoring imaginary beings, these fantastic creatures won’t save the humanity of His rage against misbelievers.
A noodly greeting to all borthers and sisters, believers of the one and truly creator of the universe

Holy crap this is amazing, I’ve gotta say the line about his noodly appendages had me laughing my ass off. Anyway this is a great website and it does make about as much sense as most other things they’re suggesting to be taught in school. This is great though, hilarious. you should see the shit they have about scientology. Wikipedia has told me that : the story of Xenu (sometimes Xemu), introduced as an alien ruler of the “Galactic Confederacy.” According to this story, 75 million years ago Xenu brought billions of people to Earth in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together, stuck to the bodies of the living and continue to do this today. Hubbard called these clustered spirits “Body Thetans,” and advanced-level Scientologists place considerable emphasis on isolating these alien souls and neutralizing their ill effects.
Isn’t it great? XD

I’m agnostic my self. I support FSMism because I hate evangelistic Christianity, idiots like the ones on that school board, and people that don’t know when to get out of other peoples business.
As for the people here that love to bash peoples faith.
#1 I’d really rather you didn’t act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don’t believe in me, that’s okay. Really, I’m not that vain. Besides, this isn’t about them so don’t change the subject.
#2 I’d really rather you didn’t use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don’t require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.
I read that as let people believe what they want and stop being a dick about it.

A friend of mine referred me to this website in hopes that I would find a great laugh, and maybe even something to smile about for the next few weeks. When I came upon this site, however, I was appalled to find that they allow “logical” teaching in schools. Think about the word “logical” for a minute…. what comes to mind? I hope that you aren’t referring to anything that our parents have taught us. The world today has people who believe that grains of sand are gods. We are nobody to judge, we don’t know for sure… And if you DO know, fill me in because we can never have enough religions. I mean, how crazy does “Zeus” sound now? Back in Roman times it was all the rage. If by “logical” you mean “Jesus” or “God” then I don’t see any objection with having the “The Flying Spaghetti Monster” around. Think about it this way: Jews probably laugh about how you all look like idiots praising a Messiah that hasn’t arrived. How do you feel about that, Christians? I see no reason why Pastafarianism can’t be taught in schools that have Jewish, Muslim, or Christian faiths being taught. That’s exactly like bashing on Obama because he’s Muslim. How would you feel if someone bashed on you because you were Christian? Not great. C’mon, people, this is the GOLDEN RULE from Kindergarten: “Treat others how you would want to be treated.”
Sincerely, Christina.
Oh, and Bobby… Keep on. Imagination is the station for the future.
