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 these pages, 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, Ph.D.
"Do not be hypocritical. Allow equal time for other alternative 'theories' like FSMism, which is by far the tastier choice."
–J. Simon, Ph.D.
"In my scientific opinion, when comparing the two theories, FSM theory seems to be more valid than classic ID theory."
–Afshin Beheshti, Ph.D.

A Great Read for Both the Religious and Skeptical
"The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" is a fantastic read. It is important to realize the context behind Pastafarianism before reading, however, lest you take the contents too seriously. I'd recommend doing a little research first.
The text itself is full of hilarious anecdotes; some are true, many are exaggerated, and a select few are completely false. Each are easily identifiable, though, so don't worry.
In short, I received this book this afternoon, and finished it the same day. It is easy and enjoyable to read, especially for those of us who prefer a bit more complicated humor. The message the author delivers, however, is not lighthearted at all. Hopefully reading the book changes the viewpoints of those who are satisfied with the absolutism and dogma of many prevalent religions.
