The flying Spaghettimonster (English Flying Spaghetti monster, briefly: FSM) is the divinity in June 2005 of the US-American physicist Bobby Henderson created fun religion, which represents a Parodie on the intelligent Design movement in the USA. The members call themselves as Pastafari. For Pastafaris a beer volcano and a stripper factory wait in the sky allegedly among other things (if they were well-behaved).

Idea and spreading

The mental inspiration, which enabled "„the nudeligen master "“Bobby Henderson for the insight, which had flying Spaghettimonster the world to create, developed from the public discussion around the instruction of intelligently Design at US-American schools. In an open letter to the school administrative board of Kansas it, its faith teachings demanded had to be allowed to be mediated just like the creationistic in instruction. This is meant as Parodie however clear and is to point out that religious contents in science instruction would not have to look for anything, completely without prejudice to the personal faith.

Since then the fun religion of the Pastafari constantly wins at Bewunderern, sympathizer. The parodistische action developed to a soziokulturellen phenomenon. Dozens of Weblogs contributed to the further spreading, whose speed is to be explained Internet only by the technical possibilities of the medium. Likewise enormous prize moneys, which are expenditure-praised on a refutation of the idea, excite attention. The Blog Boing Boing writes: "“Incoming goods of acres willing tons pay any individually *$250,000 if they CAN produce empirical evidence which proves that Jesus is emergency the son OF the Flying Spaghetti monster."” (German: "„We are ready to pay each 250,000 USD which can furnish the empirical proof that Jesus is not the son of the flying Spaghettimonsters. "“) Prize money was increased in the meantime to over one million dollar.

Central one of faith contents

• The flying Spaghettimonster requires a carrying of Pirateninsignien (full pirate regalia). An only cause for the global heating up, gales and all other natural catastrophes is the sinking number of Piraten since beginning 19. Century. This applies under Pastafaris as empirically proven (see more propter for a graphic "“proof"” - in addition, cum hoc ergo hoc).
