SERIOUSLY! what on earth is the flying spaghetti monster???

Question

Everybody appears to be talking about it! whatever it is!

Answer 1

Known to haunt restaurants, especially the Italian kind, the flying spaghetti monster is invisible and likes to tickle waitresses as they walk by carrying plates of spaghetti. The sudden unexpected contact usually means that food, primarily the spaghetti, goes flying every which way, giving the monster encouragement to continue it's activities. It usually only goes after squemish or very ticklish waitresses, resulting in the fact that the turnaround for them is quite high. Only in hiring non-responsive servers can a restaurant protect itself from the flying spaghetti monster, since the lack of accidents forces it to leave to find its entertainment elsewhere.

Answer 2

Since you've been educated as to the FSM, I'll post his 8 "I'd rather you didn'ts instead:

The Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts"

1. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Act Like a Sanctimonious Holier-Than-Thou *** 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 In 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, Misogynist, Hateful Ideas Of Others On An Empty Stomach. Eat, Then Go After The B*******.

6. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Build Multimillion-Dollar 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/Las Vegas. 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.

The Prophet Bobby Henderson wrote a letter to the KS school board about their inadequate science standards, and that if alternatives to evolution were to be required then the Flying Spaghetti Monster should be given equal time as well. It is the belief that the world was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM). The FSM blesses people by touching them with his/her noodly appendage. Also, the traditional garb of the Pastafarians is pirate regalia, as there is a correlation between the pirate population and Global Warming. As for morals, the Pastafarians follow the 8 I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts.

Answer 4

Some say it's a joke, but it's actually quite serious, though in a flippant way.

The FSM is the answer to the Kansas School Board. It is the answer to all supporters of the Intelligent Design "theory."

If a Christian wants to insist that Genesis should be taught to be as valid as the Big Bang Theory, then all creation myths should be considered equally valid.

This includes Saturn eating his children. This includes the Egyptian myths. And while those were based in actual history, the FSM was conceived to show how irrational it is to elevate mythology to the level of science.

Literature should stay in literature classes while science classes deal with science.

Answer 5

It's a joke, to be honest. It is a farce religion and a fake deity created to demonstrate the ridiculousness of teaching a religious theory on the origins of existence and mankind in elementary school science class. The creator contends that if Creationism / Intelligent Design gets equal time, why shouldn't the theory of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Answer 6

It's a parody, really. Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_spaghetti_monster

It's essentially invoking a reductio ad absurdum argument against the teaching of intelligent design. The proponents if ID insisted that their claims were scientific because their "theory" did not identify a specific designer (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). So the FSM was presented as a possible candidate for a designer to display the absurdity of the ID claim. The joke being, naturally, that there is as much "evidence" for the FSM as there is for any particular designer/deity.
