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professors who had written the original standards (before they were changed) have now asked that their names be withdrawn from the document.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

Thank God I live In mexico And Those Fundies are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay far from me
“Ah, what fools these mortals be!”
It is with a sigh of sadness that I say we might never be understood by some deluded individuals. Ah, the flaws of the unenlightened sects of His Holy Noodleness.
Perhaps someday they will be forgiven…..
Amen.
your creation here is excellent, but beware. i started the same kind of thing in the ’50s. I said Mary’s body physically floated up to heaven and she lives there now. The Catholics took it and ran with it…its totally out of hand.
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…
For, truly, “our God has larger balls than theirs”.

Greetings
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.
Sincerly
Father wil (Pastafarian Priest(and pirate too!!))
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. Thank you for this, may MOTHER nature be good to you.
Dear sirs ,
Thousands of years ago the Great Lamien ( the all mighty chinese noodle) had already enlightened the minds and souls of the Tibetan people. Hope his High Noodlenes could grant you his graces in your holly endevour.
I am a solid suporter of the FSM and applaude all who understand. Blessed be his noodly appendage and curse those who shall or will not dress in pirateering outfits.
~A Pastafarian of the holy noodles.
RAmen.
Is it possible to be a born again Pastafarian, or would it be reconstituted, constituted again? Hmmm . . .
Ms. Kathy Martin of the 6th District needs a sense of humor and a sense of proportion. Also, a sense of the importance of scientific research, but we can’t ask for too much from one person, can we?
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.
All praise his? her? holy noodleliness!
what’s up homeslices? i feel touched by His noodly appendage today, and have decided to randomly leave a comment. in my school, there is a class that teaches various religons. unfortunately, pastafarianism is not one of them. just the same ol’ stuff, like allah and budah. i have been sending email after email to the school, but in return i get emails back about “thanks for the laugh”. i shall keep trying!!! my noodly master shall prevail!!!
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.

Wow. I find this to be extremely fascinating and genius, really.
What a great way to get such a point across.
I plan on getting the gospel and maybe a T-shirt.
I died upon the fork for your sins.
BEHOLD Humans!! Thou shall not speak vainly his holiness name or thou shall burn in hot liquid mozarella, the kind that peels the skin out of the roof of your mouth. Or something like that…..
Long live FSM. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmen.
P.S. : I would love to donate 10% of my income to this church for the rest of my life. Do you know who I should contact? Thanks
Am I the only pastafarian in Switzerland?
Mind if I convert the non-believers in my school?
Our local school board (Bedford Area, Bedford, PA) would certainly benefit from this enlightened view. Did I mention that I’m surrounded by Republicans?
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…
