Flying Spaghetti Monster

From Conservapedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a parody religion that began as a critique of the Kansas Board of Education's decision to allow the teaching of intelligent design in public schools. Arguing that intelligent design was a thinly-veiled attempt to bring religion into the classroom, Bobby Henderson constructed "Pastafarianism" as a new theological system and argued that it too should be taught alongside evolution and intelligent design[1] on the notion of "teaching the controversy."

Richard Dawkins uses the flying spaghetti monster in his book The God Delusion, attacking belief in God. Others purport a belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Pastafarianism as a thinly-veiled attempt to mock Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
