blessed be thine noodly pasta of the flying spaghetti monster

Thank you all! It is truly such a joy to read posts that are articulate for a change. Having the scientific community behind us can do absolutely no wrong at all. I am surprised however, no one has seemed to notice the obvious; to me anyway; correlation between String Theory and Noodly Appendages.
Has not anyone noticed the vast amount of choices of pasta in our grocery stores? Not to mention the choices of sauces. It’s mind boggling.
We are the recipients of a renaissance. We are witness’ to the creation of a totally new religion that has a higher moral ethic and makes a stand that is based on equality for all. Kudos to you Bob Henderson. I bet you had know idea just how far this would go.
I envision that one day there will actually be Pirate Ship shaped churches. Licenced and serving all manners of pasta. Strippers of course but that will be well after the children are tucked into their beds.
Stranger things have happened.
Up here in Toronto we used to have a resteraunt chain that had 99 cent spaghetti dinners on Tuesdays. They were quite good too. $5 would get you dinner, a beer, and enough left over to tip the waitress. It was a vegetarian sauce so anyone could eat it. A deal a Pirate could smile at!
@ Marian: His Nooldyness has all the basses covered. Fear not and eat well. The FSM is all about love. health, and respect.

I’m not pastafarian, but this makes more sense than christianism, judaism and islam

I am a first time visitor to your site, and am amazed at the depth and completeness of what you have crafted here. I found your link on a liberal Colorado political website. Clearly FSMism is making some people very nervous and frustrated, and the clever and cohesive way that you deal with detractors is indicative of a very real and strong religious faith. By the way, is there an effort in the works to buy the recently discovered Einstein letter which discusses the childishness of religions? Seems like it would make a good sacred artifact. It sold today in London for a record 170000 pounds.

@ Brendon
I just hadda point out an immediate example of the OER/Noodly One intervention issue; many people believe that LIKE charges repel and UNLIKE charges attract!

Just a brief comment on Dr. Bilson-Thompson’s discussion above: there is a more modern version of the logical principle he invoked: Occam’s Electric Razor, which in one form states that the simplest explanation - especially if you’ve thought of it yourself - is usually wrong. This deserves further study, since it goes to the root issue of the Noodly One’s intervention in all human affairs, especially in scientific observation.

Cool. A fake religion that has more truth to it than other fake religions like Scifiology or churchianity.

I used to believe, as many do, that humans are haunted by the souls of mentally ill aliens dumped in volcanoes off Hawaii by Xenu, the evil ruler of the Galactic Confederacy 75 million years ago but since I’ve been touched by The Flying Spaghetti Monster’s Noodly Appendage, I see the error of my ways.

I find one thing difficult to swallow about the great FSM. Nowhere do I find evidence as to his true nature. Is he Gluten-Free? I need to be able to digest his teachings fully, yet this is incompatible with my biochemistry unless the Noodly one has a Gluten-Free Attribute.

And, as others I’m sure have remarked, a meatless meatball bearing FSM would enable Vegans to worship him with rich sauce and clean consciences.

Could it be that He is Three in One? Regular, Gluten-Free, and Vegan?

This is not a scientific endorsement—but an historic one. Pastafarianism clearly played an important part in our nation’s founding. When Yankee Doodle put a feather in his hat, what did he call it? Macaroni! I rest my case.

I am undergraduate in physics, and I think brendon is right about his last comment. However, weak interaction and electromagnetism have been unified in the same formalism over the past decades, and now talking of one is talking of the other. (As we know) But who cares in fact? It’s so much easier if it’s the work of the FSM.

@Daniel
I think you are confusing weak and electromagnetic forces. Electromagnetic force is what governs chemical reactions and keeps electrons orbitting nuclei. It’s the force that makes like charges attract and unlike charges repel. The weak force is altogether a much, much more subtle force, responsible for relatively fewer smaller effects like beta decay.

The “scientific” answers here are clearly flawed. It really is quite simple.
The nucleus is held together by His Noodly Appendages. Did you not see the mention of the string theory? This is simply another example of his omnipresence and Supreme Noodliness.

Excuss me if I’m wrong about this, I don’t hold a degree in partical physics or anything, but I like to read. I was under the impression that there are 4 forces. Elecrtomagnetic force: which is what gives our earth its magnetic poles, Gravitational force: which attracts objects due to their mass (Einstien gives you a visual with a bowling ball on a trampoline bending time and space), weak nuclear force: which is the force that holds electrons around the nucleus of an atom, when energy is released chemically it is because electrons are moving to and from molecules, and finally strong nuclear force: which holds the nucleus of an atom together. Chemical energy is a manifestation of the weak nuclear force; for exampole a stick of dynimite, the explosion is the result of the energy being released as the chemicals oxidize. Nuclear energy, either fission or fusion, is a manifestation of the strong nuclear force, when the a nucleus is broken or two a bonded.

Again, this is my understanding of the 4 forces. I’m also aware that the energy in a nuclear bomb is due to matter being transformed into energy, but I know it has something to do with the amount of energy it takes to break the strong nuclear force. If there is something wrong with this, I will only be too happy to be corrected.

Scientist have a tough time telling you WHAT gravety is, they know how it works, but are a little stumped as the why it exists at all. The same thing with matter, as a Stephen Hawking or if he were still alive, Einstein why there is matter instead of not, they may have trouble answering it. This does not mean we automatically say that something must have made it. It is so natural for a person to assume that Something, someone created everything, but it is just an assumption, and it is very wrong. I admit science is ignorant of some of the basic facts of existance, but sciences ability to admit ignorance should be admired, not attacked.

Dear Respondents,
Thank you for your kind reassurances and information about heaven. Somehow, I just knew that the Noodly One, in all of His goodness and omniscence, would not forget to provide emotional and physical sustenance for the female of the species. Ramen.

Dear Bobby,
Pastafarianism is a delicious religion but I am troubled by its concept of heaven because what is in it seems to be directed at making human males happy (except for women who like beer). Could you please address this oversight? Did the FSM not provide for the happiness of women after death? Is this an intentional slight or do you believe that there are aspects of heaven that would make women as happy as men and which have yet to be discovered?

Vivian, there are loads of male strippers around too :) Plus the beer volcane is surrounded by sveral others providing you with a beverage of choice. If you can’t get what you want it wouldn’t be much of a heaven now would it?

@vivian – Actually there are male striper factories too! I think it’s very sexist of you to assume that men can’t pole dance as well as women! Also beer comes from Volcanoes in FSM heaven. You can get other drinks there but not from the volcanoes. I expect there to be a Bailey’s geyser there somewhere. Possibly a Dooley’s lake?

@Iscariot – 2 retards trying to rape a dog? Interesting metaphor.
We use to have them doing the Full Monty in the refectory in collage in front of the juke box. Difference is they had careers to come take them away, the religious dicks like Rylore don’t have that luxury.
