The church of the flying spaghetti monster is kind of like parody religion and it has nothing to do with scientology.

TFSM is a metaphor.....we(atheists) say "god is like big foot, or a flying unicorn,  or Santa, or the flyingspaghetti monster. you cant prove any of them are real and you cant prove their fake"

Answer 6

Bobby Henderson, a Physics Graduate of Oregon State University sent an open letter to the Kansa State board of education to protest their decision to require Intelligent Design be taught in science classes. In this he proposes that the “Pastafarianism” theory of evolution (FSM) be taught in schools alongside Science and Intelligent Design. It is kind of funny!

However, the flying spaghetti monster argument, while trying to capitalize on a logical fallacy, is itself a logical fallacy, a straw man argument. The point of the argument is that no one can prove or disprove the existence of the being, thus, since no one can prove or disprove the existence of God, it is as ridiculous to believe in God as it is to believe in the flying spaghetti monster.

Of course God is nothing like the spaghetti flying monster. There are no logical reasons to believe in such a being, just as there are no reasons to believe in a giant teapot orbiting the sun. However, there are reasons to believe in God and those reasons surround us; our world, personal experiences, friends and neighbors, even ourselves. I can see God in all these things. No, they do not prove God, but they do provide reasons for belief.

Answer 7

Yes, he is all powerful

Answer 8

Atheists, by definition believe in nothing. Otherwise they are not "a"theists they are theists.

Answer 9

Atheism & a belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster are two different things.

Well kinda...

FSM is a direct response to provide an alternative to the dualist ID vs Evolution bunfight. FSM followers come from all sections of the Community - BUT not all Atheists are even interested in that particular story.

Answer 10

>>>My BF told my atheists believe in something and that it is called the Flying Spaghetti monster.

Indeed

>>>I thought it was funny.

Not a good thought to give voice to.

>>> What is this flying spaghetti monster thing

THING!

The FSM, is one of two manifestations of the supreme power, and represents all that is male, and desirable, yea, even Beer, and  Bolognese  Sauce, with Chillies, and long Noodles..

His female manifestation, is the Invisible Pink  Unicorn, PBUH  Who represents everything else, especially those girly things like getting Pan Stick on your new $1000 Mohair suit, and the deft application of the six inch stiletto to the instep, when all you did, was glance at the couple beside you, in the middle of the last waltz

>>>and do you really believe in it?

Of course; How can anyone not believe in His Great Noodlyness, when surrounded by so much evidence?

You don't think that man is capable of creating Bolognese Sauce, on his own; do you?

Answer 11

For taking the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in vain you will suffer eternal torment in His fiery Lake of Bolognese Sauce!

Repent now, unbeliever!

Answer 12

You cannot be serious? Goodness me. Meet the almighty FSM and be touched by his noodlyness:

Hang on - weren't you the one just asking why atheists were in R&S because we don't believe in anything? Doesn't this question completely contradict your other one?

Answer 13

theres a search bar beneth the ansewr tab, search for it!

Answer 14

An athiest doesn't believe in any type of god, therefore no they don't believe in FSM.

People who believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster are Believers!

Answer 15

Of course. But you have to be enlightened and sauce-filled to understand.

Answer 16

It's from South Park, which means your BF watches South Park and also emulates it.

Which is ridiculous, considering that South Park makes a mockery of just about everything, including the people who emulate it.

edit: Oh, you sad b******s, you actually believe they didn't create it?

Answer 17

Wikipedia it.. will give you all the answers!! Tis hilarious!! It's actually a real religion but one made up by Atheists. Basically it's made to prove that god can be anything imaginable, even a flying spaghetti monster who created this flawed earth after a big night of drinking!

Read up on it, it's hilarious! Atheists dont BELIEVE in it but use it as a case against religious folk but tis something fun that can be observed

Answer 18

your boyfriends a christian extremist and is jealous of atheist freedom.... he'll probably turn into a suicide bomber, so be careful

Answer 19

Atheist DO NOT believe in the flying spaghetti monster. it is an example used by atheists to counter the christian argument that "you cannot prove that god doesnt exist" the response is that you cannot prove that the flying spaghetti monster doesnt exist either but that doesnt mean that it DOES exist.

basically it is just to highlight the fact that you cant disprove a negative.

Answer 20

You know, FSM is real, unlike your god

Answer 21

Same as santy Claus, Tooth fairy,Easter bunny

Answer 22

I'm a heretic, I believe in its existence, but I don't accept its devine substance.

Answer 23

NO of course atheists do not believe in it!

It's something they pretend to believe in as a sort of joke. It'S a believe that is about as likely to be true as any other religion - just that this time even the most deviant christian will see its not true. Ergo showing that other religions are, too, untrue.

Answer 24

Answer 25

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a made-up God.

However, the FSM  (as He is known for short)  has every bit as much validity as the gods of the Bible or the Qur'an.

Atheists don't believe in the literal existence of the FSM, but instead mention Him to point out the absurdity of other religions.

Answer 26

You must be zipped up the back lol

Answer 27

YOUR BF IS BLESSED BY HIS NOODLY APPENDAGE !!!

idk this is relig here...  

Answer 28

It's from a south park episode and was made up to make fun of theist beliefs

Answer 29

It is the rotting carcas of Colonel Sanders

Answer 30

The spaghetti monster does have a wikipedia entry.  I don't believe in it, but it's just as philosophically sound as most other religions.

Answer 31

I think they do. I heard this is the prayer they  say:

Hail, pasta 1 2 3 meatballs watch over me. In my mouth and over my gums look out stomach here it comes. They pray it about 3 times a day more if their constipated. They do get that way sometimes because they also have to eat bananas when they sin. They have some sort of a chart, so many bananas for certain sins. It would take too long to get into all the details now.. I'm just going to stick with Christianity. The truth, The way, The light.
