The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster -
Pastafarianism
2005-Bobby Henderson’s open letter to the Kansas State Board of Education
Meet His Noodliness
Intelligent Design based on science rather than faith?
Correlation does not imply causation
„It is disrespectful to teach our beliefs without wearing His chosen outfit, full pirate regalia.”
„We will be forced to proceed with the legal action.”
Bobby Henderson receives a grant to write a
Gospel of the FSM
(released in 2006)
Spread the word!
The Gospel becomes a bestseller, receives critical acclaim, Richard Dawkins likes it!

Beliefs
Flimsy moral standards and two lost "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts"
1. I’d really rather you didn’t act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou
ass when describing my
noodly goodness
2. I’d really rather you didn’t use my
existence to be mean to others
3. I don’t require sacrifices, and
purity is for drinking water,
not people
4. I’d really rather you didn’t judge people for the
way they look, or dress, or talk
5. I’d really rather you didn’t indulge
in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing,
consenting partner
6. I’d really rather you didn’t
challenge the bigoted,
misogynistic, hateful ideas of
others on an empty stomach
7. I’d really rather you didn’t build
multi million-dollar shrines to
my noodly goodness when
the money could be better spent
8. I’d really rather you didn’t go around telling people I talk to you. Get over
yourself.
General beliefs:pirates, beer and 99% less guilt than in other
religions

Rejoice, for He has boiled for our sins!
And now his wheaty sauce runs ‘neath our skins.
My Pasta Lord who flies with wholegrain love,
Invisible in the heavens above.
A joke?Believing in the whole doctrine literally is not required.
„not anti-religion just anti- crazy nonsense done in the name of religion”
