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professors who had written the original standards (before they were changed) have now asked that their names be withdrawn from the document.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

From the Gophuramungus Book of Spaghetti, Verse 17, Chapter 4:
And yea, the Flying Spaghetti Monster did wobble through the skies and looked upon humanity with his benevolent Marinara Gaze.
“My children,” He began, his glutinous form trembling with the majesty of his words, “I am all that is Pasta, and all that is Pasta is me. Believe in me and forever shall your linguini be al dente. Trust in me and you will truly find that your fusilli will be well accompanied by rich, oily sauces and sharp white wine.”
And behold! The multitudes of earth, adorned in bandanas and with many colourful parrots perching on their shoulders did pray to his delicious wisdom and there was much rejoicing.

I seem to believe Eris seems to be the one true Goddess and I seem to believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster seems to be a Spaghetti Monster and not a Goddess at all.
Now, that seeming to have been said I will probably note that because the FSM seems very funny, the FSM is possibly some sort of deity. (Funniness seeming to be equal or at least approximate to goddessliness.)
This seems to beg the question why we give any deity any sort of power other than that which they seem capable of holding by themselves without our seeming to help them.
Hail Eris and the FSM!

Well, to this Mrs. Kathy Martin I would like to say, if we were created in God’s image and he gave us free will, which was used to come up with the FSM concept, doesn’t that leave us free to mock him/her at our own loss?
On a second thought, how about just forget teaching the whole intelligent design AND evolutionary theories in classrooms? Let’s teach the FSM, it makes more sense than anything that I’ve heard…

Ahoy my fellow believers.
I come to give words of encouragement in dark times. It has been revealed to me that these will not be the worst trials we all shall face. Though the days may seem dark, know that the FSM watches over us all and will continue to provide your daily pasta. Let us continue to implore the non-believers to come awake and realize the carb loading is the only way to true enlightenment.
I toast, lifting my mug to the sky, His Noodly Goodness and praise Him and pray He will continue to watch over us all through the coming elections and trials ahead. Beware those who would deprive us of our daily pasta, and rejoince in the knowledge that the beer volcanos will one day erupt for all – and the wicked shall taste the stale revenge our Noodly Master.
Ramen,

All of you fools who are committing this blasphemy will pay for your crimes in time! The absurdity of your false beliefs are offensive to those who know the truth! You have no right to tell such offensive, dishonest, SACRILEGIOUS, and blatant lies! If you knew how you will suffer for your evil lies, you would fall on your knees and beg for forgiveness! He favors Alfredo sauce! I offer the following as proof. Pasta is usually off-white and Alfredo sauce is usually off-white. Thus it is clear that His Noodly Goodness has chosen Alfredo sauce as His Holy Sauce! You heathens will be dumped into boiling marinara sauce for all eternity!
As you will notice in the first of the eight I really rather you didn’t,
“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.”
NOWHERE does it say we are NOT supposed to act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing His Saucy Goodness! Therefore His faithful will launch a Holy War on the false believers!

A cigarette (French “small cigar”, from cigar + -ette)
is a product consumed through smoking and manufactured out of cured and finely cut tobacco leaves and reconstituted tobacco, often combined with other additives,[1] then rolled or stuffed into a paper-wrapped cylinder (generally less than 120 mm in length and 10 mm in diameter). The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder for the purpose of inhalation of its smoke from the other (usually filtered) end, which is inserted in the mouth. They are sometimes smoked with a cigarette holder. The term cigarette, as commonly used, refers to a tobacco cigarette but can apply to similar devices containing other herbs, such as cannabis.

Preferably wine, as His Saucy Goodness may know it is an extremely popular, and tasty, accompaniment with Pasta.

After my conversion to FSM at the local Olive Garden( it was the never ending Pasta bowl that convinced me), I believe Mrs Martin should open her mind to greater ideas in religion. There may be only one God, but taking communion with His Holy Noodleness is much more filling to my soul than a unleavened cracker and some grape juice. That, and I don’t get get those odd feelings of cannibalism-”Take, and eat of this body and this blood, that has been shed for you.” UGH! Not enough basil in that messiah!

I have substantial evidence that indicates, due to an archaelogical find in the greater Krimea region, that one of the lost “I Really Rather You Didnts” was pieced together at least in part, and from historical experts, they have discerned that it in fact states, though not a literal translation that “I’d really rather you didn’t attempt to reinterpret my messages to fulfill your own warped purposes, that’s how churches and other cults get started”…

Aw, _heck_. Time to start combing The Bible for signs of satire. You’re not saying the whole _thing_ has been an enormous rickroll?? I wonder who’s laughing??
Still, it’d be an interesting exercise in perspective. If nothing else, it’d explain some of the truly silly contradictory statements in there … “Go on, go on, write ‘homosexuality is a sin’, Catullus! NO-ONE will ever fall for that one!!”. But then the world rolled on …

I am absolutely appalled at the comments in this blog. You evil apologies for people will all rot in the deepest Elvian Dungeons. Anyone who has read any genuine historical literature knows that the universe was made by, and is still ruled by, Fairies and their companions the Elves.
There are photos of fairies. Where are the photos of your false god?
As for ‘Flying’! How silly can you be?! Fairies invented flying and they have a sacred patent and nobody, but nobody!, flies without their permission. How and why do you think those aeroplane ‘accidents’ happen?
Your poor old FSM has never flown and will never fly because the fairies wouldn’t let him.

@ Wench Winer. I too share a certain fondness for the grape. However there are thousands of varieties of beer and ale. I’m quite sure you will one day find several that suit your pallet. Just stay away from the big name breweries and stick with the micro breweries. I’m not entirely sure there will be wine in heaven but it is a distinct possibility. My big question is what music is up there? Not too big on the Hip Hop ya know. I’m an old rocker.

Lol, this is so funny. I have also seen another joke letter written to the Kansas Board. It was a crazy theory about a huge explosion occuring which somehow created life. The next part said that life spontaneously evolved on one planet only. It then went on to say that somehow we evolved from single celled organisms which was hilarious because evolution has never been seen. Then they finally clung to an incidence of natural selection and said that the one incidence proved evolution. It was HILARIOUS!

You repeat the lies of your leaders well;
“The next part said that life spontaneously evolved on one planet only.” No evolutionist has ever claimed that.
“which was hilarious because evolution has never been seen.” Except that we’ve seen it in strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Seen it in the fossil record (horse evolution has been particularly well observed). Peppered Moth’s have been seen to respond to natural selection. There are many more examples, but I’ve proved my point.
“Then they finally clung to an incidence of natural selection” See above – natural selection is part of the theory of evolution, not seperate to it.
“and said that the one incidence proved evolution”
It’s ‘proved’ according to scientific method. Not 100% certain (nothing is) but it’s much more reliable than the bible.
