I have been reading about this “interesting religion” Flying Spaghetti Monsterism - and since I love all things piratey, it appeals!

Some of the beliefs include:

* The Universe was created by an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster.
All evidence pointing towards evolution was intentionally planted by this being.

* Global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct consequence of the decline in numbers of pirates since the 1800s. A graph showing the inverse correlation between the pirates and global temperatures was also provided. This was presumably intended to highlight the logical fallacy of correlation implying causation.

* Bobby Henderson is the “prophet” of this religion.

Codes of conduct

* Prayers are ended with the word “RAmen” rather than “Amen”.
* Followers are expected to dress in full pirates’ regalia.

Benefits of conversion:

Henderson initially gave the following reasons for converting to Flying Spaghetti Monsterism:

* Like the noodles they worship, Flying Spaghetti Monsterists have flimsy moral standards.

* Every Friday is a religious holiday.

* Promise of a stripper factory and a beer volcano in Heaven.

Well, I think that has most of you intereset
