FI is... kind of. He's not religious or spiritual at all, and I suspect it more amuses him than anything. He does have an FSM decal on the back of his car, though!
Sorry, I only pay homage to the Invisable Pink Unicorn.
LOL I love pasta but never thought about a religion centered around it. Brilliant.

You're gonna want to see that bad boy.
I have seen the meat-ball, and all the awesomeness that is the various forms of noodles, be them long or short, penne or bow tie, thick or thin and covered in sauce. Amen.
sorry that should be RAmen.
@aprose: I sent my FI your Pastafarian prayer and he loved it! Thanks for the laugh!
this made me laugh a lot so i thought i woudl share. i think the concept behind the whole thing is great and i wholeheartedly support the outragousness
Why did this get moved from the religious section to the food section?
I gotta tell y'all... I was raised in the church, have forged my own beliefs since, and this cracks me the hell up!!
@honeyoats22: LOL, the fact that it got moved to the food section cracked me up!
pastafarian here! where are the places of worship? the old spaghetti factory? or is that an insult to the FSM?
So maybe I am dumb but isn't that whole FSM thing super tounge-in-cheek? Not meaning to offend anyone who should happen to actually believe it...but I thought it was just a farce to make fun of organized religion? I wanna laugh at the joke but don't want to hurt anyones feelings in the process!
I can't believe this is on here! My students just completed new colony proposals and proposed to me (King James I) that they were going to the New World to spread their Pastafarian ideas, and that they wanted to touch the Native Americans with "noodley appendages"
I just about died laughing when they presented, with a mini-sermon and everything! haha
@chasesgirl: yeah its meant to be super tounge-in-cheek. i like the principle behind the concept and it is a very VERY good way to stop the conversation dead when someone asks about what relgion you follow. feel free to laugh all you want that was the purpose :P
@janie-janie: an old spaghetti factory would be AMAZING! hahaha
@MissDW: that sounds like quite an interesting class you have there!
YESSSSS! DH and I have also been touched by his noodly appendage! Ra'men my fellow Pastafarians, all hail the mighty FSM!!
We pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster or "FSM"
It's a way for those who are against intelligent design to express ourselves.
You can read about it here:

Hope this helps!
Saying that we pray to the FSM might be a little strong. I would just say that we use the idea of the FSM to poke some fun at deism.
@Lemma: I feel that Pastafarianism is meant to be tongue in cheek and satirical. So when I said we "pray" to the FSM, I didn't mean that in the literal sense.
I know, but since you were answering somebody who had no idea about it, I thought it best to be clear. Notice the much earlier post by somebody who was worried about offending anybody who actually believes...
@Lemma: I guess I've found it a little difficult to explain it to those who don't know about it. That's why I just wanted to provide the links, so one can read it on their own and form their own opinion. And I think there are all different types of Pastafarians. I wanted to explain it the best I know how for what I believe. And I completely understand if someone else has a different take on it. :)
Even after rereading the PP, I still feel that everyone took it as more amusing than serious though. But that's just me.
I find it hard to explain too. I'd find it easy to explain though, if I wasn't worried about being too offensive.
That one previous poster who wasn't sure we were joking surprised me and gave me an awful thought: wouldn't it be terrible if somehow this sparked an actual religion? After all, it's not that much nuttier than some of the things some people believe! It's not likely to happen, but wouldn't it be both hilarious and depressing if it did? 
@Lemma: I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it! I was just happy to have found it, after years of struggling with not wanting to just blatantly call myself an atheist. So this gives me a fun way as one previous PP said, stop people in their tracks when they ask what religion you follow!
Why don't you want to call yourself an atheist? Is it that you're not sure you are one or that you feel you will get judged? I've heard people say that they have stopped admitting to being atheist for fear of being judged, but I really feel like we need as a group to stop hiding! If a religious person is allowed to state his or her religion without societally condoned judgement, we should be too!
@Lemma: I agree 100%! It's just that sometimes I don't feel like getting into a debate or dealing with the hassle. Don't get me wrong, (and maybe I worded my previous post wrong) when religion is brought up, I will state that I'm an atheist every single time. I have never stated that I am anything BUT an atheist, i.e. pretending to be christian or catholic when the subject has come up. But I don't go around advertising it, and I would rather just say I'm a Pastafarian and leave it at that if I feel I'm being pushed or heading toward conflict or an argument from someone.
I plan on having pasta served at the dinner so that guest will be able to partake of the noodley host. Honestly, a carb based religion is definitely one I can get behind!
@Lemma: I think that you would be judged for saying you're a pastafarian as well, no?
I think it's humorous, that's why people identify with it
My roommate thought I worshipped the FSM, in the same manner she worships Christ... I swear. I would work the FSM into the ceremony but my family is uber religious and I don't want to ruffle feathers. God will just be missing from the ceremony.
My dogs are both pastafarians. BF and I are crazy, we 'talk' for our dogs and have some very odd conversations. Part of it is that the dogs are pastafarians.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Our Pasta, who “Arghh” in heaven, Swallowed be thy shame. Thy Midgit come. Thy Sauce be yum, On top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day our garlic bread. And give us our cutlasses, As we swashbuckle, splice the main-brace and cuss. And lead us into temptation, But deliver us some Pizza. For thine are Meatballs, and the beer, and the strippers, for ever and ever. RAmen.
fianlly a "religion" that i can believe in! :p
is anyone else thinking of working their FSM beliefs into their wedding?
