read your web site and I am very concerned about something. I consider myself a good Christian and I have read the Bible many times (not like some of the so-called Christians people who post to your web site and just yell and say stupid things). So I am familiar with most parts of the Bible but in no place that I have seen is there any reference to pasta or a being that resembles your flying spaghetti monster. God created man, and man created pasta, but if it was any different than that there would be a reference in the Bible. So I am worried that perhaps your religion is not based on real evidence that God wrote. Please feel free to write back to me and I will be glad to discuss this with you if you like.

So I am worried that perhaps your religion is not based on real evidence that God wrote. claiming God told them to. The FSM has that too. Here it is: Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster .
Can we have a "Missed the point completely" award?
Sadly, child, the Bible is largely silent on the eating habits of the ancient Jews, except for their love of lamb and cucumbers, and the fact that once a year they liked their bread unleavened. Whether they had pasta or not is probably an open question, and not one anyone's in a great rush to answer, but the ancient Greeks did have pasta (they called it itria, and the early Arabs picked up the word from them, probably during the Byzantine period). Now if you accept that the Philistines were probably Greeks and likely diffused into the general Canaanite population sometime during or after the period of the Israelite and Judahite kings, then it's entirely possible that they did have pasta, in which case it is also entirely possible that a few select Israelites (though probably not Judahites, as they were pretty insular) may have been Touched By His Noodly Appendage. We will never know, because the Yahwists of King Josiah's court excised any mention of Pe Shin Mem from the texts long before the current canon was compiled.

Sadly, there are some incredibly dumb people who still, in spite of all sense, manage to operate a computer, if only somewhat intermittantly. A friend of mine works tech support, and after hearing her regale me about some really bizarre people asking her to do stuff like defrag the internet, bless their computer (yes, that's a real one), and sometimes wonder aloud whether or not they actually need to have their computer turned on in order to change connection settings (after hearing "click on such-and-so" and so on for a good 20 minutes), then, yes, unfortunately, dumb people can sometimes defy all sense and operate a computer, if only just enough to inflict their lack of intelligence upon those of us who actually have a brain.
Celestial Teapot created man, and man created teapots to worship her.
If it was any different, it would say so in the other book I'm writing about my newest parody religion.

"...God created man, and man created pasta..."
You've got it backwards. The Flying Spaghetti Monster created man, and then a few guys decided to come up with God.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
