Pastafarian

I am now officially a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Have YOU been touched by his noodley appendage?

Seriously though, I was looking at their website, and they actually have a section dedicated to hate mail. I almost wet myself I was laughing so much. Wanna know why? Read this quote (and btw, this is probably the most polite of them all):-

'I am not going to be hateful to you, as many others have concerning your religion, if in fact you can call it a religion. This appears to be a mockery of christianity and other monotheists. The comment saying that you have over 10 million members is either one, a lie, or two, proof that the human race is totally depraved. There is major evidence proving Christianity, yet none credible towards yours.'

If you don't understand what I find funny, there are several points.

1) The Flying Spaghetti Monster was actually a theory brought up after a school in Kansas began teaching 'Intelligent Design' - basically, that there was something intelligent that created the world, aka a God (although they couldn't put it EXACTLY like that). So, one special man wrote to Kansas School Board, suggesting that they also teach the theory of the Flying Spaghetti Monster - this parodies the concept of intelligent design by professing belief in a supernatural creator, which closely resembles spaghetti and meatballs. He furthermore calls for the "Pastafarian" theory of creation to be taught in science classrooms.- Basically, it's called SATIRE.

2) This one was the part that I found most hilarious - 'There is major evidence proving Christianity' -

I shall leave that up to you guys as to why I find it so funny.
