HOLY SPAGHETTI MONSTER

HOLY SPAGHETTI MONSTER



Holy Spaghetti Monster,
The real creator,
Rules the world, yet he is not
Bad as a dictator.

It was in two thousand five
That Bobby Henderson,
A physicist by training,
Drew to you attention.

Holy Spaghetti Monster
You are the ultimate.
If you wish, you can alter
A man’s or woman’s fate.

Your tenets are scientific.
How can you be disproved?
You are invisible and
Through matter can be moved.

As to prove or disprove god,
None is so far able,
Disproving your existence,
Is just impossible.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of a parody religion founded in 2005 by physics graduate Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution. In an open letter on his website, Henderson professes belief in a supernatural Creator that resembles spaghetti and meatballs called the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and calls for Pastafarianism to be taught in science classrooms, essentially invoking a reductio ad absurdum argument against the teaching of intelligent design.Followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) call themselves Pastafarians, a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarian.

Gospel of The Flying Spaghetti MonsterMain article: The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
In December 2005, Bobby Henderson received a reported USD $80,000 advance to pen The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. According to the author, he plans to use the proceeds from the sale of the book to build a pirate ship, with which he may travel the world in order to convert heathens to the Pastafarian religion.[5] The book was released on March 28, 2006 (ISBN 0-8129-7656-8).

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the Pastafarian equivalent of the Bible. It parodies biblical figures with characters such as Captain Mosey, a pirate and the FSM equivalent of Moses. The Gospel contains The Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts", parodying the Ten Commandments.
