"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of intelligent design," it read in part. "I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. . . . It is for this reason that I'm writing you today, to formally request that this alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the other two theories."
Members of the Dover, Pa., school board, voted out of office in November for supporting a measure similar to Kansas', also heard from the Spaghetti Monster.
But Henderson didn't stop with letters. He also created a Web site, venganza.org, as a rallying place for what were quickly dubbed "Pastafarians." While there are officially 3,332 "church" members worldwide, based on online response, the real number is doubtless much higher, McKinney says.

7. Regarding the FSM dogma

I don't understand where the lesser pastas fit in. Macaroni? Penne? What about egg noodles? Are only the Italian pastas included in the pantheon? Should I be doing something special when I EAT spaghetti?

11. All noodles are part of His Noodly Goodness

Ramen!

12. They were all created in his Image...n/t

9. We have references you know...

"Letting the religious right teach ID in schools is like letting the Marines teach poetry in advanced combat training. As a scientist, I see these the relevancy between the two sets to be equal. If Kansas is going to mess up like this, the least it can do is not be hypocritical and allow equal time for other alternative "theories" like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice."
