Flying Spaghetti Monster
The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a parody 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. Some people use a purported belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Pastafarianism as a thinly-veiled attempt to mock Christianity by reducing it to the level of an invented religion like Pastafarianism. However, the point which seems to have been missed by said Christians is that both religions are in effect the same thing; however, one was started by a man with too much time on his hands in the 21st century, whilst the other has had 2,000 years and countless millions of people fooled to establish itself as real.
