Pastafarianism

[MackinawTJ]

Hello. I am a Pastafarian/Atheist.
You may be wondering...what the hell is Pastafarianism? WTF mate? Let me explain. Let me teach you the ways of the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster. Already, a pastafarian? Post here!
Let's start with the basics.

This is the Flying Spaghetti Monster:



This is how the world was created:



Here is a quick overview:

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, while having existed in secrecy for hundreds of years, only recently came into the mainstream when this letter was published in May 2005.

With millions, if not thousands, of devout worshippers, the Church of the FSM is widely considered a legitimate religion, even by its opponents - mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs.

Some claim that the church is purely a thought experiment, satire, illustrating that Intelligent Design is not science, but rather a pseudoscience manufactured by Christians to push Creationism into public schools. These people are mistaken. The Church of FSM is real, totally legit, and backed by hard science. Anything that comes across as humor or satire is purely coincidental.

Now, here are the The Eight "I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts" (thanks wikipedia!)

1. I’d really rather you didn’t act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou a** when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don’t believe in me, that’s okay. Really, I'm not that vain. Besides, this isn’t about them so don’t change the subject.

2. I’d really rather you didn’t use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don’t require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.

3. I’d really rather you didn’t judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, okay? Oh, and get this into your thick heads: woman = person. man = person. Samey = Samey. One is not better than the other, unless we’re talking about fashion and I'm sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.

4. I’d really rather you didn’t indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is "go f*** yourself," unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.

5. I’d really rather you didn’t challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the b******.

6. I’d really rather you didn’t build multi million-dollar synagogues / churches / temples / mosques / shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick):
Ending poverty
Curing diseases
Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable
I might be a complex-carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I AM the creator.

7. I’d really rather you didn’t go around telling people I talk to you. You’re not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can’t you take a hint?

8. I’d really rather you didn’t do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into, um, stuff that uses a lot of leather/lubricant/vaseline. If the other person is into it, however (pursuant to #4), then have at it, take pictures, and for the love of Mike, wear a CONDOM! Honestly, it’s a piece of rubber. If I didn’t want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.

Global Warming and Pirates. There is a correlation. See this helpful chart:



Heaven and Hell. In Pastafarianism, heaven has beer volcanoes and a stripper factory. Hell is similar, except the beer is stale and the strippers have VD.

Why is the Earth flawed? Because Flying Spaghetti Monster created it while heavily drunk, hence "unintelligent design".



RAmen, everyone! This is just the basics. Pictures are fun, huh? Post additional info/questions/discussion here.

the official site is located here and includes the Open Letter To Kansas School Board concerning teaching intelligent design in schools. Check it out for further reading.

I am a Pasafarian also.
I agree with everything you said.

I can assume since this is in serious discussion this is acutally about Rastafarianism?

lol... sadly.. no. It is a jab at organized religion, using deliciousness as a deity. the site still males me lol tho, in it's funny ways of adressing the of many organised religion "traditions"

My Facebook has listed Pasafarian as my religion ever since I made it. Well... it was FSM for a few days at the beginning, but its the same thing.

It is a mockery of religion used to point out the hipocracy of many religious people, and to show flawed logic(such as correlation=causation)

Pastafarianism pales in comparison to the religion of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.

Also, I wouldn't post about it in the Religious section due to it is a little humorous at times plus confusing to the bland normal Pinkboys. Not as much as this but you get the idea. Praise Bob!

I would make a thread about Discordianism but there are so few of us that it is pointless to do so. Five tons of flax! Fnord!
