The only dogma allowed in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the rejection of dogma 26/28 pt The “Flying Spaghetti Monster” was first described in a satirical open letter written by Bobby Henderson in 2005 to protest the Kansas State Board of Education decision to permit teaching creationism as an alternative to evolution in public school science classes. In the letter, Henderson demanded equal time v in science classrooms for “Flying Spaghetti Monsterism”, alongside intelligent design and evolution. After Henderson published the letter on his website, the Flying Spaghetti Monster rapidly became a symbol of opposition to the teaching of intelligent design in public schools. The central creation myth is that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe “after drinking heavily”. According to these beliefs, the Monster’s intoxication was the cause for a flawed Earth. “

According to Pastafarianism, all evidence for evolution was planted by the Flying Spaghetti Monster in an effort to test the faith of Pastafarians. When scientific measurements for radiocarbon dating are taken, the Flying Spaghetti Monster “is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage”.

LA SIGNORA AVRÀ AVUTO SESSANTA, SESSANTACINQUE ANNI. LA GUARDAVO, STESO SU UNA SDRAIO DI FRONTE ALLA PISCINA DI UN CIRCOLO SPORTIVO ALL’ULTIMO PIANO DI UN MODERNO EDIFICIO DA DOVE, ATTRAVERSO GRANDI FINESTRE, SI VEDE TUTTA PARIGI. ASPETTAVO IL PROFESSOR AVENARIUS, CON IL QUALE MI INCONTRO LÌ DI TANTO IN TANTO PER FARE DUE CHIACCHIERE. MA IL PROFESSOR AVENARIUS NON ARRIVAVA E IO OSSERVAVO LA SIGNORA. ERA SOLA NELLA PISCINA, IMMERSA NELL’ACQUA FINO ALLA VITA, LO SGUARDO RIVOLTO IN SU VERSO IL GIOVANE MAESTRO DI NUOTO IN TUTA CHE LE STAVA INSEGNANDO A NUOTARE. ORA LEI ASCOLTAVA LE SUE ISTRUZIONI: DOVEVA AGGRAPPARSI CON LE MANI AL BORDO DELLA PISCINA E INSPIRARE ED ESPIRARE PROFONDAMENTE. LO FACEVA CON SERIETÀ, CON IMPEGNO, ED ERA COME SE DAL FONDO DELLE ACQUE RISUONASSE LA VOCE DI UNA VECCHIA LOCOMOTIVA A VAPORE (QUEL SUONO IDILLICO, OGGI ORMAI DIMENTICATO, CHE PER COLORO CHE NON L’HANNO CONOSCIUTO PUÒ ESSERE DESCRITTO SOLTANTO COME IL RESPIRO DI UN’ANZIANA SIGNORA CHE INSPIRA ED ESPIRA

#2 ASERIF

I’d Really Rather You Didn’t use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/ or, you know...be mean to others. I don’t require sacrifices, and
