Publisher's summary

Can I get a “ramen” from the congregation?!

Behold the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), today’s fastest growing carbohydrate-based religion. According to church founder Bobby Henderson, the universe and all life within it were created by a mystical and divine being: the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What drives the FSM's devout followers, a.k.a. Pastafarians? Some say it’s the assuring touch from the FSM’s “noodly appendage”. Then there are those who love the worship service, which is conducted in pirate talk and attended by congregants in dashing buccaneer garb. Still others are drawn to the church’s flimsy moral standards, religious holidays every Friday, or the fact that Pastafarian heaven is way cooler: Does your heaven have a Stripper Factory and a Beer Volcano? Intelligent design has finally met its match - and it has nothing to do with apes or the Olive Garden of Eden. 

Within this audiobook, Bobby Henderson outlines the true facts - dispelling such malicious myths as evolution (“only a theory”), science (“only a lot of theories”), and whether we’re really descended from apes (fact: Humans share 95 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees, but they share 99.9 percent with pirates!).

See what impressively credentialed top scientists have to say:

“If intelligent design is taught in schools, equal time should be given to the FSM theory and the non-FSM theory.” (Professor Douglas Shaw, PhD) 

“Do not be hypocritical. Allow equal time for other alternative ‘theories’ like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice.” (J. Simon, PhD)

“In my scientific opinion, when comparing the two theories, FSM theory seems to be more valid than classic ID theory.” (Afshin Beheshti, PhD)

Listen to the book and decide for yourself!

loved it....ok, maybe not the math parts

What's not to love when there are midgets and beer fountains, right? I have been exploring FSM for a year or so. It was meant to be. After all, my fav cake is german chocolate. Coincidence? I think not! Interesting take on religious theories. Behind the hype is the concept of kindness and acceptance. Religion today should take note! Worth the read only if you can do so with an open mind and a sense of humor. R'amen!

The most logical religion in the world

The irrefutable evidence in this book is overwhelming. You're going to have to listen to it more than once to soak it all in.

FSM

The satire is great! This is not for anyone who gets offended easy or can not take jokes. I would recommend this to a friend.
