The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Australia

photoBy design, the only dogma allowed in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Australia is the rejection of dogma.

Try Pastafarianism for thirty days! If you don’t like us, your old religion will most likely take you back.

 “With millions, if not thousands, of devout worshipers, the Church of the FSM is widely considered a legitimate religion, even by its opponents—mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs.”

–Bobby Henderson

What do we believe?

What are we for? All that is good!

What are we against? All that is not good!

Although “the only dogma allowed in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the rejection of dogma”, some general beliefs are held by Pastafarians. Pastafarians believe that the universe was created by the FSM while very drunk, the effects of which can be seen in the resulting imperfections and contradictions in the universe.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is depicted as a tangle of spaghetti with many Noodly Appendages, flanked by two delicious meatballs, and with a pair of googly eyes upon stalks. Such a depiction is merely a guess, of course, as the FSM is understandably invisible to all known forms of scientific detection. Although the exact airspeed velocity of an unladen Flying Spaghetti Monster is unknown, it is widely believed that it is more than likely to be faster than a cheetah. However, this is not the answer you are looking for. You need to think for yourselves!

Whether or not the FSM is actually made of pasta is the subject of intense theological debate, with many claiming that the FSM is not made of pasta, but just appears to be, while others believe that to be a Flying Spaghetti Monster, the FSM must be made of pasta. The FSM is neither male nor female, but completely genderless, as the idea of a Monotheistic deity needing a gender or genitals is pretty silly when you really think about it. The genderless term Pastafarians refer to FSM as is ‘Quob’ – as in – ‘May you be Touched by Quob’s Noodly Appendage’ instead of referring to our deity’s Noodly Appendages as ‘his’ or ‘her’ Noodly Appendages.

All followers of the FSM hold that pirates are sacred and were the first Pastafarians. Climate change, earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters are directly linked to the declining number of pirates worldwide. Many Pastafarians therefore choose to wear full pirate regalia as a means to help the environment and belay natural disasters. Other Pastafarians just like wearing colanders on their heads.

The system of Pastafarianism ethics is based on the “The Eight I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts” – a series of suggestions on how to live your life in a happy manner without infringing upon others rights to do the same with their own lives. The 8’s outline a morality which is based on harmonious co-existence, non-judgemental conduct and generally not being a dick. Worship of the FSM is not commanded or even expected. In many ways, Pastafarians believe that this ethical system is superior to all other mainstream religions.

While the beliefs professed by Pastafarians may often be accused of being a joke, satire or even a parody, (especially by the media) this is explicitly and strenuously denied by the church.

“It’s not a joke. Elements of our religion are sometimes described as satire and there are many members who do not literally believe our scripture, but this isn’t unusual in religion. A lot of Christians don’t believe the Bible is literally true – but that doesn’t mean they aren’t True Christians.” Bobby Henderson

A wide variety of people are drawn to our religion for diverse reasons, but our love of all things Noodly, our constant celebration of life, eating, drinking, our ability to laugh at ourselves, to have fun and to still be good people, usually means people stay once they have joined us.

 The congregation of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Australia is currently in the process of establishing an official Australian religion in His Noodly honour. We are currently seeking fellow Pastafarians to join us in this venture.

    The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster NZ believes that FSM is a SHE – with large gonads = we have published our Aims and Purposes on our FB page and we are looking forward to creating a website as our Sister Church In Australia has done.

    Love You! CFSM NZ

      Since the above statement, the CFSM NZ has reviewed the evidence and concluded that the FSM is in fact gender-neutral – as no deities reproduce or have any other use for genitalia – our doctrine now reflects this new insight into the FSM’s Being thus removing the hormonal-threatening irrational sexist dialogue (our god has bigger balls) and replacing it with rational, inclusive, peaceful understandings (the original pirates were peaceful explorers not the violent sexist villains portrayed by some).

    Finally a faith that treats religion exactly as seriously as it should be treated. This really speaks to my better self. I hereby adopt The Flying Spaghetti Monster to be my new imaginary friend. I look forward to many enthralling conversations with this magestic, ethereal being.

    It’s good to see that Atheists are finally admitting that their faith-based beliefs also require a church just like all other religions. We all knew Atheism was a religious organisation from the start, it just took some time. An organisation like most others that also require financial donations – it’s good to see Atheism fighting for their religious rights with it’s legal proceedings. Well done on officiating that fact to the world and coming clean with it. When will your next genocide event take place? Sorry. Was that too soon…?

    I’d like to start a branch of the church of the flying spaghetti monster in my predominantly catholic home, the Philippines, which constantly and blatantly disregards the separation of Church and state. Anyone I can reach out to for help?

    The FSM is male (our holy gospel sets out the argument for this) No woman would “fuck up” while drunk as much as the FSM, clearly he is male.

    I wanted to write the definitive ‘Book of Colander;’ a treatise on FSM and ‘spaghetti dogma.’
    But alas, the arguments I put forward were riddled with holes.

    Need a place to worship.

    I really want to show my to the Flying Spaghetti Monster but I am very upset that my faith is still not accepted in Australia. I wish there were a place like Christians, Jews and Muslims have where I can proudly worship my god.

    Shouldn’t it be frowned upon to engage in the consumption of pasta or spaghetti as that would therefore be the eating of the flesh of your deity?
