Do I get to wear a spaghetti hat?

Galen Fri 21-Feb-14 10:34:28

The Flying Spaghetti Monster, or the FSM for those too lazy to type out His whole name, is the obvious source of all Order, Logic, and Morality in the Universe, the above being easily apparent to those who have been touched by His nudely noodly appendage. Followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster previously called themselves "Pirates", but as the term and piracy were picked on by outsiders, His followers have opted for "Pastafarians".
Some atheist pinko commie scientists think that the glorious Gravitation of the Earth can be explained without the Pastafarian doctrine of Intelligent falling. But people like us know they're wrong, right? Right?! The Universe would surely fall apart unless the FSM used his appendages to lovingly hold everything together! It says so in the Gospel of the FSM, so it must be true. We are proud to say that We have been Touched by the Monster, and as an encyclopedia we urge you to tell others about your Touchedness.

Right o. Now can you tell us the tenets of your very old religion please? smile I am sure it has got a lot of very intereresting background story to it.

It's not a new religion. The Chinese first discovered his noodliness.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Feb-14 09:34:16

Galen surely, as an enthusiastic follower, you would be delighted to explain the tenets of your new religion to us.

I could, in return, tell you about Jesus. smile

If you google the FSM all scales will fall from your eyes and you will become one of the (more) enlightened.

That's probably wise for your first bow, galen. You may want to change it as you become more experienced. Hope you find something you are comfortable with.

Galen Thu 20-Feb-14 21:21:13

Should be some bows

Not quite sure what happened there confused but yes, his noodliness is as likely as any of the alternatives. grin

Galen Thu 20-Feb-14 20:34:06
