The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster


The Church of the Flying Spaghetti monster, or "Pastafarianism" is a real theory/religion that was created by some clever college student in 2005. I do not know too much about this idea but this student decided, "why not create a bizarre religion since all religions are unfalsifiable". Don't get me wrong, writing about spiritual views is not my cup of tea, but I appreciate the students witty antics of making a mockery out of everything holy "literally". I'm no religion hater either. I'm Irish Catholic living in an Irish Catholic neighborhood on the south side of chicago and proud of my background and I love the parish i'm from. Now that I think about my religion, a stereotypical God looking man with a white beard and bulky forearms living up in the clouds is not any more believable than a food monster. You should Wikipedia this spaghetti man nonsense, I heard about it a couple years ago from a friend it's a pretty good story to tell.
