Teach me this mysterious knowledge!:) Maybe I'll convert to his church! Stranger things have happened (albeit, not often;-))

1. On a serious level, the FSM fulfils the rhetorical space that the
invisible pink unicorn used to. It is an internally consistent belief sytem as valid as any other, with the added benefit of being smothered in tomato source.

On a less serious level, it's extremely funny. May You Be Touched etc, etc.

I find this quite convincing as well:

WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTERISM

* Flimsy moral standards.
* Every friday is a relgious holiday. If your work/school objects to that, demand your religious beliefs are respected and threaten to call the ACLU.
* Our heaven is WAY better. We've got a Stripper Factory AND a Beer Volcano.

4. Hmmm
Sounds like the Invisible Pink Unicorn and the flying spaghetti monster are competitors. I won't have to get involved in any Holy Wars (tm) will I?

6. No, but you may have to participate in a dance off.
You do have parachute pants, do you not?
