• Pastafarianism: The Only Definite Truth

A bit of history on the church: The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was created by Bobby Henderson on 2005 and was originally a satirical protest against the teaching of intelligent design to the Kansas Board of Education. In an open letter sent to the Kansas State Board of Education, Henderson parodied the concept of intelligent design by professing belief in a supernatural creator which closely resembles spaghetti and meatballs. Henderson further called for his "Pastafarian" theory of creation to be allotted equal time in science classrooms alongside intelligent design and evolution. He explained that since the intelligent design movement uses ambiguous references to an unspecified "Intelligent Designer", any conceivable entity may fulfill that role, even a Flying Spaghetti Monster. After Henderson published the letter on his website, it rapidly became an Internet phenomenon and a symbol for the case against teaching intelligent design in public schools. Now some copy paste: [quote]"The central belief is that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe "after drinking heavily". According to these beliefs, the Monster's intoxication was the cause for a flawed Earth. Furthermore, according to Pastafarianism, all "evidence" for evolution was planted by the Flying Spaghetti Monster in an effort to test Pastafarians' faith—parodying certain biblical literalists. When scientific measurements such as radiocarbon dating are taken, the Flying Spaghetti Monster "is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage". The Pastafarian belief of Heaven contains a beer volcano and a stripper factory. The Pastafarian Hell is similar, except that the beer is stale and the strippers have sexually transmitted diseases.[/quote] Pastafarians' beliefs extend into religious ceremony. Pastafarians celebrate every Friday as a holy day. Prayers are concluded with a final declaration of affirmation, "R'amen"; the term is a parodic portmanteau of the Semitic term "Amen" and the Japanese noodle dish, ramen." Pastafarians also believed pirates of the past were divine beings. Indeed, Pastafarians believe that they were "peace-loving explorers and spreaders of good will" who distributed candy to small children, adding that modern pirates are in no way similar to "the fun-loving buccaneers from history". In addition, Pastafarians believe that ghost pirates are responsible for all of the mysterious lost ships and planes of the Bermuda Triangle. Henderson also presented the argument that "global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates since the 1800s. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/PiratesVsTemp_English.jpg[/img] Pastafarians also have many be beliefs and holidays. Around the time of December Pastafarians enjoy the holiday "Holiday." Books of belief for the pastafarians include "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster," and "The Loose Canon." Excerpts are revealed here: [quote]"I am the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Thou shalt have no other monsters before Me. (Afterwards is OK; just use protection.) The only Monster who deserves capitalization is Me! Other monsters are false monsters, undeserving of capitalization." -Suggestions 1:1[/quote] [quote] 1 Your most humble servant, that I 2 Might become a waiter on high 3 Serving your immutable word 4 To diners. 5 I wear white today, that I 6 Might be graced by the slight magenta hues 7 Of pureed tomato, with basil, and garlic 8 As between bites I spill your blessed sauceliness 9 Upon my blouse. 10 Another helping, please, that I 11 Might munch gratefully 12 In abject reverence 13 For two eternities. Pastalm 17 [/quote] Pastafarians also have a form of the Abrahamic 10 Commandments: The Eight I'd Rather You Didn'ts. Thus is Pastarianism. Moral of the story: Religion is a touchy subject, don't discuss.
When religion threads start to multiply, the banhammer starts striking at a surprising rate.

flying spaghetti monster is pretty cool, but I was raised in the church of the celestial teapot so I can't be friends with any of you [editline]09:38PM[/editline] look here is a picture of the teapot [IMG]http://15mins.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/milkyway.jpg[/IMG]it's in there, don't ask where exactly
Once you've been touched by his noodley appendage, there is no going back.
You're not a true believer until you actually own the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster. No wait, sorry that sounds more like Scientology.
Hail the Pasta!
