All praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster
My friends, I present to you the true Master of All Creation, the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM for short).

*************************
OPEN LETTER TO KANSAS SCHOOL BOARD

I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design.

Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.

3. Bless you, Son... or as doctrine requires, I say "RAmen"
For those who might be wondering, "Why should I become a Pastafarian?" -- I offer these reasons, from Wikipedia:

*********************
Benefits of Conversion

Apologists for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism cite the following benefits of conversion:

* Like the great noodles they worship, Flying Spaghetti Monsterists have flimsy moral standards.
* Religious holiday every Friday.
* Promise of a stripper factory and a beer volcano in Heaven.
*********************

I particularly like the 'flimsy moral standards' -- although I'm sure we'll win a few converts with the beer volcano.

8. Pshaw! The IPU has yet to explain global warming
Whereas in Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, we all know there is a direct inverse correlation between the decreasing number of pirates and the rise in global temperatures.



The IPU is just all, well, mysterious and stuff. The FSM actually Gets Things Done -- after all, He has to interfere with all those scientific experiments, getting his Noodly Appendage into the submolecular spaces.

Praise be to the FSM!

;)

10. Aha!
But does the FSM have T-shirts, coffee mugs, and other items with his symbol on it?

Blessed be her holy hooves!

12. Indeed they do!

(Note: Technowitch in no way promotes the purchase or worship of FSM iconography by way of Cafepress, and is in no way associated with Bobby Henderson, our prophet. On the other hand, a mug that turns water into marinara sauce would be dead useful, and I'm debating either that, or a T-shirt showing the FSM creating the universe.)

7. dear sir'z, we here @ 'the soleil moon fry institute'...
for the advanced study of: design via das monster intelligence mit der stringy-bang w/theoretical membrane' & spaghetti galore; strongly urge here, that where it is the case, (& certainly it is the case) that the kansas state bored of schools is unable to nuance the 'just how it is' that there are such notions as flesh eating flowers & tail growing lizards that they are to cease & desist all such tomfoolery as may be alluded to by them as 'education' posthaste, sir'z, if not fifteen minutes ago.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENSE...more or less = and so it is that:

well, doi! "design" is "intelligent" you dweebs; so it is in fact not with a measure of trepidation, that the council of: 'proper smart people', has filed the pertinent requisition, and in a timely manner; that will switch the polar fields lest these matters; the teaching of OUR noble cause, be joined in earnest.

the burden will then be born by the kansas state bored of schools as there simply aren't enough days in the school year to re-instruct all as to the soon to be fact that they will need to flip the light switch up for off & down for on (mercury switches notwithstanding)

kansas state bored of schools you are urged here to resist your natural inclination to be futile

9. Alas, Bridgit, thy link be broken
I am in a veritable dither, as thy words do alarm me so. Time is indeed of the essence... unless the absence of a site at the link was itself a prophetic message?

14. Apparently Mr. Henderson has gotten some hate email--
--which he says was actually sometimes more entertaining and funny than the messages of support.
