the Church of the Flying Spaghetti
Monster believes the universe was
created by a noodley appendage God made
out of pasta and it’s sparking debate
about what it means to be a religion
well what if I told you that was a
Flying Spaghetti Monster would you
believe it simply because it can’t be
disproven welcome to watchmojo.com
in today’s installment we’re looking at
the Church of the Flying Spaghetti
Monster also known as Pastafarianism do
you believe in a Flying Spaghetti
Monster to bubblehead number five the
church started out as a parody of
intelligent design the world is four
thousand years old and can only be the
product of intelligent design
oh that’s horseshit in 2005 Bobby
Henderson a 24-year old Oregon State
University graduate with a degree in
physics founded the FSM church for the
noblest of reasons to prove a point when
the Kansas State Board of Education
announced its intention to allow the
teaching of intelligent design alongside
evolution in classrooms Henderson sent
them a letter as a satirical critique in
the letter Henderson wrote about his
personal theory that the universe was
created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster
five thousand years ago and the creature
made it look billions of years old for
some unknown reason Henderson insisted
his theory carried equal weight with
intelligent design and evolution and
should be taught in addition for a
balanced perspective hey professor I’m a
Flying Spaghetti Monster you seriously
believe I’m descended for some kind of
flightless manicotti yes oh please
needless to say the Board of Education
didn’t take Henderson’s request into
consideration but the idea caught on and
the letter went viral we thank you Lord
for this mighty fine intelligent design
his religion is often compared to joke
religions such as Jediism but henderson
insists his religion is the real thing
the FSM faith may sound ridiculous but
if string theory is proven correct and
we’re all tiny pieces of vibrating
string then could we not all possibly be
made in the Flying Spaghetti Monster
snootily in
there’s no great mystery to life just
evolution and gods a Spaghetti Monster
thank you Richard number four there is
no official dogma the FSM is most
notable such feats as creating
everything in existence personally
maintaining gravitational forces
throughout the universe and inspiring
the creation a thorough three lawn
sprinkler while most religions have no
problem running their followers lives
and telling them what to do the Church
of the Flying Spaghetti Monster likes to
encourage independent thinking it’s up
to each individual follower to decide
what they want to believe and go with
whatever works for them what happened
here was a miracle and I want you to
fucking acknowledge it
however the gospel of the Flying
Spaghetti Monster published in 2006
contains eight rules known as the eight
I’d really rather you didn’t which is
more or less a Pastafarian version of
the Ten Commandments but as the name
implies they’re more casual suggestions
meant to discourage sanctimonious piety
and bigotry than they are strict
guidelines the code is more what you
call a guideline than actual rules of
course some beliefs have found popular
support among the pastafarian community
among them the conviction that it is
important to enjoy oneself and drink
lots of beer and that in heaven not only
are the faithful rewarded with eternal
life but also with access to a beer
volcano and a stripper Factory
number three anyone can become a
minister
that’s better sancti etc that’s ok yes
no one is gonna believe Archer is a
priest if you feel the burning desire to
spread the past a fairy in gospel feel
you’re not qualified have no fear
there’s no theological training required
or special seminary that one has to
attend to become ordained all you have
to do is visit the church’s website and
give $25 to presumably Bobby Henderson
in return he’ll send you a special
certificate and put you in an official
registry containing the names of other
ordained ministers once you are ordained
you are given the authority to perform
baptisms and exercise last rites if
nothing else you’ll be able to go to
college campuses and bug students as
they’re walking to class just like
Christian preachers in April 2016 a New
Zealand Minister was able to perform the
first legally recognised Pastafarian
marriage which featured wedding vows
full of pasta themed wordplay and of
course full pirate regalia to celebrate
family with friends in pirate cost jobs
and with Robert Joseph I terms as a
matter of fact number two according to
the church global warming and pirates
are related their reasoning these two
trends perfectly correlate back when
there were more pirates there was less
global warming today there are fewer
pirates than ever before and there’s
more global warming you do the math they
also point toward evidence suggesting
that Somalia has the most pirates of any
other country in the world and the
smallest carbon footprint look at me
sure look at me sure another captain now
the church teaches that to combat global
warming and reverse these trends more
people have to revive the lost art of
pirating which means among other things
dressing like a pirate and talking like
one it is about the matter of demons for
me
Steve be a touch chart this month the
church also teaches that pirates were
once an upstanding group of people and
they only get a bad rap today because
historical revisionists namely
missionaries have cast them in a
negative light I mean you hear a pirate
ship you think sails cannonballs oh not
one of these guys as a beard number one
wearing a colander on your head is
religious expression get a sifter or a
column colander would be good as an
outlandish yet somehow logical symbol to
proudly show one’s Pastafarian identity
the church encourages its followers to
wear call endures over their heads in
the workplace and in their photo IDs in
various countries all over the world
people are fighting for the right to
wear these calendars in their drivers
license pictures many have been
successful but the struggle continues
for recognition the church has been
legally recognized as an official
religion in the Netherlands New Zealand
and Poland unfortunately other parts of
the world haven’t been so progressive in
April 2016 a US federal judge ruled that
a Nebraska prisoner’s devotion to the
pastor Farion faith did not entitle him
to typical religious accommodations such
as the right to wear his sacred colander
the judge saw it more as satire than a
real religion it satirizes religion this
faith and mr. Fillion insists that the
kitchenware is part of that religion so
have you been touched by the Flying
Spaghetti Monster snootily appendage and
are you gonna put a colander on your
head the next time you update your
driver’s license for more devoted top
tens and carb-heavy top 5s published
