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

I’ve seen these types before, he’s probably about 15 years old. Hasn’t really found out what his sexuality is and afraid to put the question to himself. It’s like religion. Did you know that 88% of people have never honestly questioned whether god actually exists? Fear for what the answer might be, probably, and not knowing how they could live with the answer if it turns out negative.
Luckily we have. That’s how we discovered FSM.
That’s why fundies and homophobia go well together. Both are based on fear to ask a question.

We all know that a negative times a negative equals a positive. Extrapolating this to stupidity, I hypothesize that a stupid person saying another person (let’s call that person Ivan) is stupid would mean that Ivan is actually smart. So thanks for supporting my hypothesis with the following data:
1: Aaron is stupid.
2: Aaron says Pastafarians are stupid.
The above data can be coupled with the fact that Pastafarians are smart to lend support that my hypothesis is, at least, possibly true (though not proven) . The need for more evidence is clearly indicated.
.
I shall endeavor to take a “fundie poll” in order to increase my pool of data. Any fundie that says Pastafarians are not stupid is clearly smart enough to attempt to undermine my efforts, and thus will not qualify for my poll. I will then publish my results in a peer edited journal (probably one printed by the discovery institute because they are the only “scientists” that couldn’t find a flaw in my data taking method).

I find the whole idea of this site hilarious. I love the effortless wit of the whole idea of the FSM and, reading through the comments on this page, I find it encouraging for there to be so many people ready and waiting to give a right good noodly bashing to any passing blinkered, mindless, homophobic, pointlessly traditional god-botherer with severely limited IQ. I found it telling of the revolting, old-fashioned republican attitudes of Creationists that as soon as someone mentioned Obama, one anti-FSM poster accused the other guy of being gay, and another immediately said, and I quote, “Waste of time. Blacks don’t even vote for blacks. Do some research. He doesn’t stand a chance. Homo.” I think perhaps “Mike” thinks differently now that america is not only governed by a democrat, but by a black man. No doubt he’ll be grumbling right now in his dirty caravan in some back-o-beyond southern nowhere-town, but who’s in the oval office, commanding the greatest nation in the world, and who’s sitting alone calling him a homo. grow up and get with the times, right-wing america. When they see that there’s the same amount of scientific proof of the existence of an omniscient, omnipotent God as there is an airborne bolognese creating the universe, perhaps society can move on. long live the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and all his noodly appendages!
