Purchase the Gospel
An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

Hi chicken noodle, welcome to you too. :)
“But now… not only do I find it absolutely hilarious, but useful as well.”
That’s excellent!

Booty, here in the UK you can have your children removed the religious educaion including assemblies.
You don’t have to give a reason and they can’t refuse.
It’s all in the 1944 Education Act but the school will definitely know the score.

Welcome and RAmen.
The whole ’super powerful and still lets terrible and unnecessary things happen’ is one of the reason I can’t believe in the Christian God.
When I open my heart to it I think ‘bollocks’.
Actually its not the big stuff that bothers me its the little cases of extreme nastiness.
You can’t tell me that Victoria Climbie had to die like that for some grand design.
Surely Gods ‘grand design’ could be fulfilled and Victoria Climbie had to die like that.
There must have been another way, why doesn’t he intervene?
The Christian belief can not (CAN NOT) be right. Why can’t everyone see that?
It just CAN NOT be correct.
I wish I’d known that before.
RAmen Captain.
And thanks for the info on the school assemblies - we are a bit stuck as both sets of grandparents are church goers - one CofE one RC, so they obviously say religious things to the boys too, and much as we make a stand to an extent we also don’t want to offend them too much, so we are relying on explaining our points of view when the boys are old enough to understand there is no tooth fairy!
It is very difficult and I don’t think either sets of parents actually know I am an atheist - I think they assume I am undecided or just too lazy to go to church!
There are lots of issues with both sets of parents I won’t bore you with, but basically I have decided that discretion is the greater part of valour with them and to make a big deal of it would just upset them. So we don’t talk about it.
A cop out I know - maybe I will get braver at some stage.
Booty,
We found our kids getting deeply confused by what was said in school and passively drifting in to believing in God which sems to be how they get most people.
Remember something like 80% of the population claims to be Christian but only about 20% religious. There’s clearly some sort of way of believing in God by default.
One of the points the CoFSM is there’s no default thing to believe. The prejudice of the culture you live in is a rum way of deciding universal truth.
If I was you I’d stand up to the Grandparents and tell them to stop telling your kids religious things.
I won’t have people pooring their toxic filth in to my kids.
For some reason I think of poison being dribbled in to their ears without anyone noticing like in Hamlet…
How does your other half feel?
Upon receiving the Gospel of the FSM (blessed be His Noodly Name), I was upset to see that the graph (p.26) plotting the linear relationship between global temperature and global pirate population had been changed from the original graph presented to the Kansas School Board. While labeling the x-axis into evenly-spaced decreasing 10,000 units might seem safer to publishers, it was the original graph that revealed the manifold wisdom of the FSM and precipitated my conversion. By carefully tracing the pirate population from 35,000 to 45,000 to 15,000 to 5,000 to 400 to 17, a brave new truth was revealed, unfettered by dogmatic insistance on evenly-distributed graph plots. Please restore the graph to its original numeric detail - the vague, uninteresting countdown by 10^4 disguises the depth of His Noodliness’ delicious wisdom.
That dang FSM!
He changes things from time to time.
I think it’s because he wants us to know that;
1. He can,
2. He’s got a sense of humor.
.
I wouldn’t expect him to change anything, because you asked him too.
But then again, who knows what he’ll do?
Oh yeah, may you be forever touched.

you guys complete me.
Thanks a lot YOU BASTARD!
I got one of your damn FSM car ornaments and now I’m going to have to WASH MY TRUCK. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.
i just love this noddle…. how do i become blesed and do i get some virgines when i die?:P
to the serious part….
people that gets mad about this noddle might have to take a look at there own “god”.
fx: by the river of barbilon…. it is a song taken directly out from the bible…. but they haven’t toke the hole storye… the last line… it says something like… happy is that man who throws childrens against the rocks.
and muslims…. look at what he make you do. god is almighty you say… but if he is so almighty he might have made mankind so we don’t do evil.
“but that was the devil”… witch god must have created….
love from me…. talk like a pirate
hey, norway calling you.
this posters are the best, keep on living like a pastafarian
with love from norway

“How do i become blesed and do i get some virgins when i die?” You probably don’t really want virgins upon reflection. I’m a teacher and from my perspective ‘virgins’ means work. Lot’s of teaching. Some will get it, some won’t. Takes a long time, and by the time their up to speed, they probably go somewhere else and you have to start all over again.
Better to look forward to some good grog.
@storm
And P.S.
Virgins aren’t very good strippers.
I love this idea, supporting the lunacy of religion. The best bit is is how the religious people in their hate mail have totally missed the point of it all and actually think people are believeing in a FSM. Ignornant mugs.
I know this was quite some time ago, but I just had to say it…
@Evyl Robot Michael
By the way, although 165 is technically genius, I dated someone who is at 280. I honestly don’t think that your “I’m at 180″ would mean anything to her, since she’s quite a bit higher than that. Think before you speak, you’re supposed to be able to with that IQ level, there is definitely going to be someone who is smarter than you, no matter what your IQ is. And besides, IQ measures how fast you can think, not whether you hold conflicting beliefs or if you are a hypocrite or are a farkwit for that matter. One final word– You might want to show a little more proof when mentioning your understanding that there are no coincidences. May the Flying Spaghetti Monster have mercy on you, and assign you to feed the volcano hops… instead of serving as a stripper in the factory. :P

Hello Norway :) Apparently all Pastafarians are going there soon. Do you live anywhere near Hell by any chance? The evangelical xtians say they are organising a trip to Hell for us :)
If being a pastafarian encourages you to be compassionate toward others, awestruck at the immensity and grandeur of the Universe and grateful to your Higher Power for the privilege to experience it, then your beliefs have succeeded where most others have failed.
This is not a comment on materials, but an info request - couldn’t find where else I could send an email. I desperately want to buy a T-shirt featuring his Noddliness, cheese be upon him. However, when I click on stores and then click the uk flag, I get what looks like German descriptions, and prices in Euros - the same happens whichever flag I click on. Is there something amiss with the store, or does this mean FSM T-shirts are unavailable to British Pastafarians? All the best, Harry.

Huummm, that’s interesting.
Here is Bobbys email (the creator of all this).
Maybe he can help you out, good luck.
