Im sorry, but besides from satanism. Pastafarianism is the most up-to-date and modern, humourous and ,frankly, believeable religion to have come around.
It throws the beliefs of everyother religion right back in their faces and gets away with all manner of ridiculous crap because its works on the same principle as the others.
that principle is:
Why not?

you gotta love it

That is just the truth isn't it?

We like the truth sometimes, cos sometimes...

Who are you?

A: My name is Bobby Henderson. I’m 27. I grew up in Oregon and move around a lot. I have a physics degree and have successfully avoided a “real” job for years.

Q: Did you really send the Open Letter to the Kansas School Board?

A: Yes. But, I received no replies until after I posted the website online and the School Board started getting lots of emails about it. You can read some of the responses I received here.

Q: Are you an atheist / heathen / what?

A: I don’t have a problem with religion. What I have a problem with is religion posing as science. Teach Creationism in school, fine, but don’t teach it in a science classroom. And don’t change the definition of science so that you can teach these things. That’s retarded.
Supernatural explanations are by definition not science, so why would you teach them in a science classroom?

Religion, itself, isn’t bad. But it isn’t necessarily good, either. There are plenty of good Christians (and Muslims, and Buddhists, and Hindus), and plenty of bad ones.

Dogma is bad for everyone.

Q: You are making God angry.

A: I doubt it. If there’s a God, and he’s intelligent, then I would guess he has a sense of humor. And how do you know He is NOT a Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Q: Do you make money off this?

A: Yes. The Church makes money off T-shirts, car emblems, book sales, and occasionally donations. We are saving a lot of money and pretty soon here we’ll buy our first Pirate Ship which will serve as a floating church, open to all Believers.

Q: Your graph is messed up.

A: No, it’s not. The X-axis doesn’t have to represent time. And the data points don’t need to be in order. A graph is just a collection of data points, I can display them however I want. It might not be what you’re used to, but it’s not messed up. Please stop writing me emails about it (well over 200 at this point).

Q: There are more pirates now than ever. Look at the South Pacific. And song-downloading pirates, and blah blah blah.

A: Real pirates use swords (cutlasses, actually). Those “pirates” in the south pacific are guys with machine guns, cruising around in power-boats. They’re not pirates. And the song-downloading “pirates” are smelly nerds, and therefore not real pirates.

Q: Your grammar/spelling/etc is bad.

A: Yah.

Q: You’re wrong. It’s actually a linguini / mashed potato / dinosaur / elephant / whatever monster.

A: Maybe He just disguises Himself as those things. Also, you’re not funny.

Q: Can I reprint your letter?

A: Yes. Send me a link, please.

Q: Acceptible use of content?

A: It’s ok with me if you’re using the FSM images/content as long as it’s not for profit, and you’re doing it to further the Cause of the church. I.e. printing out FSM propaganda materials and distributing them is ok (and encouraged). Making FSM t-shirts, selling FSM merchandise, etc. is NOT OK.

Q: What blogging/cms software are you using?

A: The recently redesigned site is built on the Wordpress platform with the K2 template.

Q: How many members are there?

A: I don’t know. There are no membership records as such, so I can only guess based on the amount of traffic the site receives, etc. Traffic to date (September 2006) is somewhere in the vicinity of 350 million hits, and around 15 million unique visitors. Google returns close to 2 million results for the phrase “flying spaghetti monster“. So, who knows - your guess is as good as mine.

Q: Why Pirates?

A: We believe that humans evolved from pirates. Consider that humans share around 95% DNA with monkeys, and more than 99.9% DNA with pirates.

Q: Interview requests

A: I’m happy to answer your questions. I recommend you just send me your questions in an email with a subject that I’ll notice, like “INTERVIEW QUESTIONS”. You don’t need to ask permission or set up an interview for some future time, just send me the questions. Thanks.

Q: Website statistics

A: Somewhere around 10k-40k visitors per day, and somewhere around 500k-1million hits a day. Hits are extremely high because lots of people hotlink images,etc from the site. Which is fine w/me.

Emails - depends, but 50 per day is not uncommon. I have 13,839 unread emails right now (9/25/06). I’ll get to as many as I can.

Q: Why is there an FSM banner on my MySpace profile?

A: It’s a virus/worm that WAS NOT CREATED BY ME. I had nothing to do with it. I’m sorry - it caused everyone a lot of problems, and I do not approve of this sort of thing. You can remove it by following the directions here.

More questions? Ask me below, or email me at bobby.henderson@gmail.com

I don’t know how to start this but i’ll start with something we all might agree on, ramen is awesome, but that totally doesn’t mean we have to worship it! O.k what if God was a flying pasta thing, That diesn’t mean i wouldn’t believe but seriousley, Pirates? pasta? humans once were pirates and eventually became more civalized. I respect this religion/cult sry if thats offensive, but i think earthquakes/disasters is because the world is becoming more and more evil everyday. God/jesus (im a christian) is becoming upset that his beutiful creation is becoming more and more evil and rebellious because of sin. He hates the sin loves the sinner, and if we repent and believe that jesus saved us by taking the punishment (death taken up by the cross) and saving us from hell then we will spend eternity in complete joy and happiness with absoloutley no sin inm heaven with God. all we have to do is accept a free gift, Jesus dieing for us and rising again , we go to heaven! If you would like to learn more go to www.dare2share.org and loook on the messageboards. If you have questions email me at hawkfamily5@sbcglobal.net pirates and religion can co-exist this religion can co-exist to some degree. But I just wanted to put my religion out there.

Why can’t christians spell properly? Surely this is proof (at least by the standards of the ID movement) that the higher up the dogma scale = the lower down the evolutionary scale. This could explain a great deal …

I Love spaghetti and meatballs, especially with garlic bread. Does that mean I’m having communion every Thursday night at dinner. Sometimes I even have a glass of wine. Damn, maybe I should look for a pirates suit at the Salvation Army.

724 - August 25th, 2008 at - R "ARGGH!!" Jones Says:

I am about to have a son and want him to be indoctrinated into the church of the FSM before he knows what’s going on. Are there rituals besides just pouring lots of marinara on him that I should be aware of?

725 - August 28th, 2008 at - Rachel Says:

Can I print of FSM things (like the about section) and hand it out to people?
’cause I wanna help the cause!

726 - September 15th, 2008 at - Nick Says:

@ jacob BlAcK:

In South Africa they use the word “Hawking”, which means to sell or to mislead on another man’s property. I can see the similarity. However, I respect everyone’s religion, also yours, but don’t understand that you insinuate that the FSM and Pirate - theology is nonsense.. I could say (but I choose not to) the same about your teachings.

727 - September 15th, 2008 at - Eric Lopez Says:

I just learned about the FSM from my teacher and I have to know some thing do you babtties babys with spaghetti souces? And is it ok to eat Spaghetti?

728 - September 17th, 2008 at - Jonathan Says:

Im kinda hoping this is all one huge parody, but I beginning to get worried, since pirates are humans if they are humans how the heck did we evolve form them?
Also, evolution isnt science either, at least the definition where it states that monkeys turned into humans. Half of what they teach in the science classrooms arent science, so I dont understand why teaching creationism in school is bad thing.
This is awesome as a joke, I had an awesome laugh while reading over my friends shoulder, but the scary thing was that he ACTUALLY TOOK IT SERIOUSLY….at least he acted that way. But I cant figure him out anyways

September 19, International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Arrrrrrr!

730 - September 19th, 2008 at - Pirate Jenny Says:

Jonathan, #728: Thanks for the laugh, mate! Perhaps someday the faint glimmering of a clue ye so very nearly have will grow brighter, and ye shall finally see–ramen.

731 - September 19th, 2008 at - Atlas Says:

The day of pirates is great.

732 - September 19th, 2008 at - TheFewTheProudTheMarinara Says:

Jonathan: Evolution IS science while Creationism is NOT. Study up on what a THEORY means in scientific terms. If you come out and say “Cows are really from Venus” or “the Christian God made man just like he is”, that is a hypothesis - not a theory, which requires wide acceptance after rigorous testing, such as the theory of gravity.

Also, the Supreme Court struck down the Creationists’ attempt at inserting their beliefs as a science. If you can show ONE argument the Creationists have come up with that refutes a finding supporting evolution, tell us, won’t you? Any such argument the Creationists have come up with so far has been not only disproved, but ridiculed by the legitimate scientific community.

So is there harm in teaching Creationism in science class? How about if we teach medical students that burying a crow in the moonlight is an accepted method of curing cancer? Or teaching law students the quick method of proving innocence is to toss their weighted clients into a pond? Where does it stop?

“since pirates are humans if they are humans how the heck did we evolve form them?”
.
Jonathon dear, please go find out what evolution is. Even your creo masters accept that evolution is indeed a fact. See creationwiki, penned by your creo master salesmen, which says in part…
.
“Biological evolution is an observable scientific fact, because the mechanisms of change in populations over time have been obvious and observable for thousands of years. Even the ancient Spartans enforced a policy of eugenics in an effort to promote desirable characteristics in their gene pool.”
.
and this..
“Biological evolution is an observable scientific fact, because the mechanisms of change in populations over time have been obvious and observable for thousands of years.”
.

However most of that entry is unsupported rubbish…such as
“the general theory of evolution claims that life originated by chance through abiogenesis, a speculation for which there is neither evidence nor comprehensive explanation.”
.
You’ll notice no supporting references for this BS. The theory of evolution makes no reference to abiogenesis!
.
“Also, evolution isnt science either, at least the definition where it states that monkeys turned into humans.”

Please provide a reference where the theory of evolution states this. The theory states no such thing! You’re being conned and brainwashed Jonathon.

734 - September 20th, 2008 at - Wench Nikkiee Says:

@ # 733 Wench Nikkiee
Arrgh….repeated the same quote!
This was what I meant to quote:
.
“Biological evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics or allele frequency in populations over time. Biological evolution may be minimal or substantial; it embraces everything from slight changes in the proportion of different alleles within a population (such as those determining blood types) to the successive alterations that led to the diversification of the *created kinds to countless unique species.”

*Note also that creationists have never given a scientific biological definition/description of what actually constitutes a biological
“kind”.
It’s been my experience that questions as to a scientific description have been always been avoided.
.
I guess it’s kinda some sort of living thing!

735 - September 21st, 2008 at - jeremykeys Says:

@ Jonathan: I think you might be a bit on the young side, not that this is a bad thing but you really should take a long hard look at the world around you. Ask a lot of questions. Ask a lot of people the same questions. You may be quite surprised at all the different answers you get. I also recommend that you read a lot of different books. Science books, nature books, even and especially the Bible. Read it and remember all the things that God has supposedly said and done. Ask yourself then, “Is God nice?” One thing that has always bothered me is when Christians say that God killed his only son. What? Where does it say that? I thought the Romans did it. Another thing you should do is watch the movie Zeitgeist. You can get it free on the internet. It might open your eyes a bit.
