[Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (CFSM)]

Just for once, I would love to see the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster mentioned on these lists of crazy or unusual religions.

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (CFSM)

The central tenet of CFSM is that an invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe 'after drinking heavily'.

Pastafarians celebrate every Friday as a holy day - and consider pirates 'absolute divine beings'.

About

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, while having existed in secrecy for hundreds of years, only recently came into the mainstream when this letter was published in May 2005.

 

  With millions, if not thousands, of devout worshippers, the Church of the FSM is widely considered a legitimate religion, even by its opponents – mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs.

Some claim that the church is purely a thought experiment, satire, illustrating that Intelligent Design is not science, but rather a pseudoscience manufactured by Christians to push Creationism into public schools. These people are mistaken. The Church of FSM is real, totally legit, and backed by hard science. Anything that comes across as humor or satire is purely coincidental.

Further

Pastafarianism is a real religion.

Most of us do not believe a religion – Christianity, Islam, Pastafarianiasm – requires literal belief in order to provide spiritual enlightenment. That is, we can be part of a community without becoming indoctrinated. There are many levels of belief.

By design, the only dogma allowed in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the rejection of dogma. That is, there are no strict rules and regulations, there are no rote rituals and prayers and other nonsense. Every member has a say in what this church is and what it becomes.

To outsiders it makes us hard to define, but here are some general things that can be said about our beliefs:

    We believe pirates, the original Pastafarians, were peaceful explorers and it was due to Christian misinformation that they have an image of outcast criminals today
    We are fond of beer
    Every Friday is a Religious Holiday
    We do not take ourselves too seriously
    We embrace contradictions (though in that we are hardly unique)

If this is indeed true, it would also mean that all of this 'diversity is our strength, diversity is wonderful' brain-pollution campaign going on in the schools and in the media will lead to our future generations being less inclined to be racially aware, thus destroying the healthy instincts that Nature so gratuitously endowed us with. Yet another heinous crime committed against the White Race.

However, some are still sceptical about these findings, believing that 'creationists' use such arguments to undermine evolution, or as is the case with the article you link to, a justification for propagating the notion that our DNA has 'spiritual and mystical memories passed down in genes from the experiences of our ancestors'. Myself, I find it bewildering how these people would arrive at such an odd conclusion.

Desperately clinging to their spooks. Let it go, people. Let it go. 

Well said, Reverend. I was talking with fellow Creators just the other day about this Vice piece. Whenever I talk Creativity to people - which is pretty much every single day - I leave them in no doubt whatsoever that Creativity *is* the greatest idea ever conceived, the Final Solution to the problems that our White Race faces, the key to a Whiter and Brighter future, and, of course, that Creativity *will* make your life better, more fulfilling and you a better person. To be well versed in the teachings of Ben Klassen is the equivalent of a PhD. To be well read in our Founders works is the equivalent of having 30 to 40 points thrown onto your IQ. If you have an IQ of, say, 120 and you know your Creativity inside and out, talk like a Creator, write like a Creator and act like a Creator (not deviating from the creed), then congratulations, you have the intelligence of a man with an IQ of 150 to 160. If you follow even a third of the Salubrious Living program, avoiding pills, soft drinks, alcohol, get plenty of fresh air and exercise, etc., you will be the healthiest you have ever been. *That* is how much Creativity will benefit your life, and that is how you sell our Creativity product to the media and to the public. You do *NOT!* tell them that adhering to our wonderful creed will ruin and destroy your life. Unbelievable. A Reverend of Creativity is supposed to conduct himself in a gracious manner; he is meant to be articulate and the very embodiment of a sophisticated racially loyal White man, like our great Founder.

[Pietro Pomponazzi]

Pietro Pomponazzi. Italian philosopher (1462-1525):

[The statesmen] have set up for the virtuous eternal rewards in another life, and for the vicious, eternal punishments, which frighten greatly. And the greater part of men, if they do good, do it more from fear of eternal punishment than from hope of eternal good, since punishments are better known to us than that eternal god. And since this last device can benefit all men, of whatever degree, the lawgiver regarding the proneness of men to evil, intending the common good, has decreed that the soul is immortal, not caring for truth but only for righteousness, that he may lead men to virtue.

Note: As the most influential philosopher of the Italian Renaissance, Pomponazzi was able to make this statement by using Averroes' "double truth," a common rhetorical strategy at the time that let him justify heresy by contrasting it with orthodox arguments which could be ignored by readers aware of his intentions. Pomponazzi also argued in essays published after his death that the soul is mortal, that angels, demons and miracles are fictitious, that religions are born and die, and that prayers go unanswered.

Take no miracles on trust; always look for causes.
