FSM sparks debate on Religion

2008-03-16T16:22:06Z

I kid you not.
***********

When some of the world's leading religious scholars gather in San Diego this weekend, pasta will be on the intellectual menu. They'll be talking about a satirical pseudo-deity called the Flying Spaghetti Monster, whose growing pop culture fame gets laughs but also raises serious questions about the essence of religion.

The appearance of the Flying Spaghetti Monster on the agenda of the American Academy of Religion's annual meeting gives a kind of scholarly imprimatur to a phenomenon that first emerged in 2005, during the debate in Kansas over whether intelligent design should be taught in public school sciences classes.

Supporters of intelligent design hold that the order and complexity of the universe is so great that science alone cannot explain it. The concept's critics see it as faith masquerading as science.

An Oregon State physics graduate named Bobby Henderson stepped into the debate by sending a letter to the Kansas School Board. With tongue in cheek, he purported to speak for 10 million followers of a being called the Flying Spaghetti Monster — and demanded equal time for their views.

"We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. None of us, of course, were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it," Henderson wrote. As for scientific evidence to the contrary, "what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage."

The letter made the rounds on the Internet, prompting laughter from some and vilification from others. But it struck a chord and stuck around. In the great tradition of satire, its humor was in fact a clever and effective argument.

Between the lines, the point of the letter was this: There's no more scientific basis for intelligent design than there is for the idea an omniscient creature made of pasta created the universe. If intelligent design supporters could demand equal time in a science class, why not anyone else? The only reasonable solution is to put nothing into sciences classes but the best available science.

"I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; one third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence," Henderson sarcastically concluded.

Kansas eventually repealed guidelines questioning the theory of evolution.

Meanwhile, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism (FSM-ism to its "adherents") has thrived — particularly on college campuses and in Europe. Henderson's Web site has become a kind of cyber-watercooler for opponents of intelligent design.

Henderson did not respond to a request for comment. His Web site tracks meetings of FSM clubs (members dress up as pirates) and sells trinkets and bumper stickers. "Pastafarians" — as followers call themselves — can also download computer screen-savers and wallpaper (one says: "WWFSMD?") and can sample photographs that show "visions" of the divinity himself. In one, the image of the carbohydrate creator is seen in a gnarl of dug-up tree roots.

It was the emergence of this community that attracted the attention of three young scholars at the University of Florida who study religion in popular culture. They got to talking, and eventually managed to get a panel on FSM-ism on the agenda at one of the field's most prestigious gatherings.

The title: "Evolutionary Controversy and a Side of Pasta: The Flying Spaghetti Monster and the Subversive Function of Religious Parody."

"For a lot of people they're just sort of fun responses to religion, or fun responses to organized religion. But I think it raises real questions about how people approach religion in their lives," said Samuel Snyder, one of the three Florida graduate students who will give talks at the meeting next Monday along with Alyssa Beall of Syracuse University.

The presenters' titles seem almost a parody themselves of academic jargon. Snyder will speak about "Holy Pasta and Authentic Sauce: The Flying Spaghetti Monster's Messy Implications for Theorizing Religion," while Gavin Van Horn's presentation is titled "Noodling around with Religion: Carnival Play, Monstrous Humor, and the Noodly Master."

Using a framework developed by literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin, Van Horn promises in his abstract to explore how, "in a carnivalesque fashion, the Flying Spaghetti Monster elevates the low (the bodily, the material, the inorganic) to bring down the high (the sacred, the religiously dogmatic, the culturally authoritative)."

The authors recognize the topic is a little light by the standards of the American Academy of Religion.

"You have to keep a sense of humor when you're studying religion, especially in graduate school," Van Horn said in a recent telephone interview. "Otherwise you'll sink into depression pretty quickly."

But they also insist it's more than a joke.

Indeed, the tale of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its followers cuts to the heart of the one of the thorniest questions in religious studies: What defines a religion? Does it require a genuine theological belief? Or simply a set of rituals and a community joining together as a way of signaling their cultural alliances to others?

In short, is an anti-religion like Flying Spaghetti Monsterism actually a religion?

Joining them on the panel will be David Chidester, a prominent and controversial academic at the University of Cape Town in South Africa who is interested in precisely such questions. He has urged scholars looking for insights into the place of religion in culture and psychology to explore a wider range of human activities. Examples include cheering for sports teams, joining Tupperware groups and the growing phenomenon of Internet-based religions. His 2005 book "Authentic Fakes: Religion and American Popular Culture," prompted wide debate about how far into popular culture religious studies scholars should venture.

Lucas Johnston, the third Florida student, argues the Flying Spaghetti Monsterism exhibits at least some of the traits of a traditional religion — including, perhaps, that deep human need to feel like there's something bigger than oneself out there.

He recognized the point when his neighbor, a militant atheist who sports a pro-Darwin bumper sticker on her car, tried recently to start her car on a dying battery.

As she turned the key, she murmured under her breath: "Come on Spaghetti Monster!"

Why the hate?

2008-02-14T21:51:41Z

Listing the term "Pastafarian" which claims to represent a parody religion amoung a list of otherwise genuine religions in everyones profiles on tribe.net is racial and religious discrimination and hate speech. The term "Pastafarian" is a tongue in cheek "pun" that perpetuates the bigoted discrimination and marginalization of Rastafarian people who are members of the serious Rastafarian religion by altering the name of the Rastafarians and the Rastafarian religion in a dimunative manner. Using a mockery of Rastafarian's in the context Tribe does contributes significant momentum to the serious and harmful idea that Rastafarianism is a false religion (not that it is a religion that is not true, But that it is not a religion at all) and contributes to the current persecution of Rastafarians. Something augmented by the fact that Rastafarianism is not listed even though a number of Tribe users are Rastafarians. This can be seen as racist because the common current of racial oppression endured by the people of the racial background of most Rastafarians is can be logically infered to be a contributing factor in the lack of consideration implicit in Tribe giving platform to a mockery of the religion as it did. In other words, Buddhists for example would not have been disrespected and discriminated in the way Rastafarians were because most Buddhist are Asian as opposed to the Rastafarians who are mostly African. Even without elements of racism, The terms listing in tribe profiles is an example of religious discrimination and poor taste. The term should be removed immediately, and Tribe.net should apologize to its users for the mistake.

RasTafarI Liveth Iverytime

2007-07-09T19:11:03Z

I can into tribe.net with a genuine greivance, that everyone took for a joke. People were rude and all around ignorant, not to mention vain and arrogant. Part of me thinks that if it werent for I and I, RasTafarI, the Pastafarians would have never even happened upon the idea of making a religion about a pasta g-d. If thats true, then how can anyone look at Us like We're out of line for saying, You know what, We want our Name back. Carry on with your flying speggetti monster thing, but just dont make it about Fari. Its really not to much to ask. The term pastafarian is not even legal as it is slander of a legally representable legacy. Even if the spaggetti monster thing was thought about BEFORE deciding to call it Pastafari, it is obviously stolen from OUR NAME Rastafari. And they have NO REASON to call it Pastafari except that without such a DAMN COOL NAME thats stolen from ours nobody would be interested in such a stupid thing anyways. The only reason it got the attention it did is by riding RASTAFARI's back, no apology. What other religion could you just make a joke of the name of and not except to hear from them. If you made up a religion that took the term muslim and made it into some joke used to mock faith, do you think that people would not, do something? Even more to the point would there not be a COMMUNITY that KNEW RESPECT, to say, thats not OK, We must Respect each others religion in the space that we SHARE, say what you want in your OWN SPACE(even though its slander and we'll cross that bridge when we get to it), but here is for everyone so we cant have things that directly mock others? And thats what including the choice pastafarian in everyones religion box is. Wheather the FSM or tribe people know it or not. And as generally ignorant as they seem, their likely walking around in a white psuedo supremacy universe not giving it a second thought that they STOLE the name of an existing Spirituality to make a arrogant joke about things they dont understand.

2007-05-25T01:45:14Z

Racist thieves! The flying spaghetti monster was concieved as a tactic to oppress Rastafarians. Now the movement uses the attraction of our g-ds name to promote its facism. And Tribe.net is likely its largest supporter. Until the term is no longer recongnized by tribe.net by offering it as a religious option in a users profile, the entire website will be a Nazi playground.

Student punished for spaghetti beliefs

2007-04-05T00:36:28Z

In the news ... http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=43272&in_page_id=2

A student has been suspended from school in America for coming to class dressed as a pirate.

But the disciplinary action has provoked controversy – because the student says that the ban violates his rights, as the pirate costume is part of his religion.

Bryan Killian says that he follows the Pastafarian religion, and that as a crucial part of his faith, he must wear 'full pirate regalia' as prescribed in the holy texts of Pastafarianism.

The school, however, say that his pirate garb was disruptive.

International Xenu Day (Off Topic)

2006-05-15T17:42:22Z

I've been to a couple crazy events here in San Francisco, that happen
around the world.
The first is Santa Con. Every winter thousands of people dress up like
Santa, an Elf, a Sexy Santa, etc., go bar hopping, get drunk and surly,
stop traffic, for an entire afternoon.
There is also International Paul Reubens Day, on his birthday. Same
scenario, but everyone dresses up like PeeWee Herman.
I'd like to see how much interest there is in an International Xenu Day
on March 13th(or the nearest weekend), LRons Birthday. Every year all
80000 scientologists across the world have a big event to celebrate L
Ron. That would be a perfect time for a group of trouble makers to
dress up like aliens and hang out in front of the Shriners Auditorium
(where they have it in LA), or in front of your local Scientology
building.
Same terms apply, get drunk, surly, cause trouble etc.

We have 10 months to spread the word.

The FSM merely points out that you should be careful what you wish for, because someone else crazier than you could have a very persuasive argument built on your own faulty logic. Honestly, if government isn't living proof of that theory, I don't know what is."

Judge rules against intelligent design in science class

2005-12-21T02:49:44Z

http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/12/20/intelligent.design/

***Quote***

In an opinion issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John Jones ruled that teaching "intelligent design" would violate the Constitutional separation of church and state.

"We have concluded that it is not [science], and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents," Jones writes in his 139-page opinion posted on the court's Web site. (Opinion, pdf)

"To be sure, Darwin's theory of evolution is imperfect. However, the fact that a scientific theory cannot yet render an explanation on every point should not be used as a pretext to thrust an untestable alternative hypothesis grounded in religion into the science classroom or to misrepresent well-established scientific propositions," Jones writes.

Noodle Growth

2005-10-05T00:12:21Z

Things are getting a little slow 'round here.

FSM confirmatin, baptism etc.

2005-09-27T23:08:05Z

Has anyone established any FSM rituals?
