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 saw a couple girls dressed up as pirates preaching about FSM. They gave me a pamphlet, named me “hench merry”, and I was off. Needless to say I’ll be clad in my pirate attire from now on.

RAmen.
Another reason why FSMism pisses on Christianity.
The Jesus lot worship by eating ‘bread’ that doesn’t fill them up and drinking wine that doesn’t make them drunk.
Where as Pastafarians can worship by eating a delicious and filling bowl of Spag. & Meat Balls and quaffing vast quantities of grog.
Given that ‘evidence’ is equal, we have a graph and better rituals, I can’t see anyone bothering with Christianity in about 20 years.
We don’t discriminate against homosexuals and we don’t look down on women.
OK, so we do look AT women, but come on we’re only human and have flimsy moral standards.

I heard a rumour that the FSM created Pirates the day after He designed the beer volcanoes and was a little hungover. He apparently didn’t mean to give them the evolutionary ability to develop mental problems. He was trying to imagine a perfect being but His mind was a little hazy.

Go Terripins!
I am a new and enthusiastic convert to Pastafarianism. No one else I know seems to understand my faith and unfaltering belief in the FSM. I try to explain if it is okay for people to believe in Thetans and John Smith’s golden plates why is it any more/less obsurd that I believe in a flying spaghetti monster? Why must we be persecuted for our own personal choice of religion? Maybe if we started charging people thousands of dollars for the knowledge of the FSM or how about a monthly cut of their income say around 10% then our church could become all powerful and even control the government and media. Then everyone would be forced to listen to the gospel of the FSM and we could even teach it in schools as a viable atlernative to scientific evidence. But that could never happen. I am getting carried away.

There is just one burning question I would like to ask: What does the Flying Spaghetti Monster have to say about the Toothbrush King, the Great Golden Pyjama Pants and the Flaming Fridge Beast of Choas?

A lot of things are coming together for me. When I was a young spud in Firenze, mama would proffer a pasta known as “rotelli”, hawked by the Ronzoni company, then in Long Island City, NY. Maybe it wasn’t rotelli but they were like wheel-shaped UFOs of some sort. There is reference in Ezekiel of such wheeled craft. The connection now is obvious.

Really, if you’re insistant enough, you CAN get what you want on your dog tags, long as its short enough. Mine said Pagan for my seven years of Army slavery. (If you must serve, be an officer.) I am sure as long as you annoy your superiors enough to stand next to the person typing them and dictate FSM, that’s what they’ll say. The firmest rule in the Army is “how can I get you to stop bugging me fastest?” If you politely make it obvious you won’t go away until your dog tags say FSM, they’ll say FSM. I was touched by the irreverent spirit of his noodly appendage long before I ever heard of the great pasta ball in the sky!

Cole Field House is now a shrine! Clearly an intelligent being, only FSM could have performed the miracle of placing his likeness for all to see at this place, and He meant it as a sign to us all. He wants us to repent, to embrace pasta, and to speak out against the unspeakable decline of pirates. The anti-pasta took away sailships and gave us an age of steam to test us. It will not work. We will sail on and remember than FSM wants us to restore the oceans to the glory of old. Give me that old time religion, oh FSM.
As an alum of (too) many years ago, I can only say I wish He had touched me with his noodly appendage years ago, when I was lost in a fog of meatball sauce and before I was found.
The Mormons have Jackson County, Missouri, the Christians and Jews have Jerusalem, and now we have Cole Field House. The first Pasta shrine!

I now am a believer in the Celestial Teapot, a rather large teapot that orbits the Sun somewhere between Mars and Jupiter. Our spiritual leader, Lord Lipton held a press conference about it all the other day.
Question: Where did all this start?
Answer: About 2 thousand years ago a few blokes in a very primitive tribe, got together for a fun night with a prostitute and a lot of very good mushrooms. During the night they had a vision of a baby teapot (a miracle itself seeing they did not know what tea was, let alone teapots). Of course the next morning, when the mushrooms had worn off, and the teapot actually turned out to be a kettle they knew the truth, but they had already written the “story of the teapot”.
About 300 years past until one day someone dug up the story in the rubbish tip and took it to his leader, King Con. At that time the kings power over the people was dwindling because they were getting tied of the same old stories about dragons, goblins and fairies He thought “This is a slightly more sophisticated story than the goblins and dragons, this will keep my dynasty going for a while. “
Since that time there have been numerus sightings, most have turned out to be kettles or pans but some go unexplained.
Question: Is there any evidence that the teapot actually exists?
Answer: None what so ever, except our faith, and you try to prove that the teapot does not exist.
Question: OK, so how did the teapot get there, who created the teapot?
Answer: The teapot did not have a creator and has been there forever, even before there was a sun for it to orbit around, even before there were cups of tea. Look around the universe, if you look hard enough you can see that everything is created in the image of the teapot. For instance non-believers think there is a star formation shaped like a saucepan but of course we know the truth. A human face is actually made in the teapots image, with two handles. Eg ears for handles, nose for spout.
Question: There is no evidence that praying to the teapot has any effect at all, how do you justify the waste of time and money spent by the followers and supported by governments, on building churches and other monuments in the image of the teapot?
Answer: How can you say that praying to the teapot does not work, when just the other day one of our congregation (Jane Smith) was diagnosed with testicular cancer? After weeks of our followers praying, she was told that she had been sent the wrong letter. Subsequent to this, John Smith, a non-believer died of testicular cancer, which proves what happens to those of little faith.
There are many other stories like this miracle effecting people with all sorts of illness that have been diagnosed within our church. Of course those evil amputees aren’t amongst them because it’s their fault, they should have taken better care of the teapot’s work.
Now that you have read this story, and you realize that it is complete nonsense, go back to the top, do a global search and replace with your Word Processing software, replacing “the teapot” with “god” and you will get an idea of how nieve and misguided Christians are.
