Dammit, Doc, this one isn't a recipe. For God's sake! But, if you must, an article in the recipe namespace would not be amiss... I will tamper with the gravy, though. human^{be in} 23:59, 12 June 2007 (CDT)

Category pseudoscience? That's really stretching it, Trent. Pseudoreligion, maybe. FSM never claims to be a science, it merely competes with other religions for a place in the school curricula. human^{be in} 15:39, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

FSM came out during the ID push, it makes a "science" claim about the origin of species and of humans. The whole point of the satire took place against the back drop of a battle over pseudoscience. Things in the "pseudoscience" category are not "pseudosciences" per say, but topics that deal with those issues. And I think the history of FSM is that its an important player in the way people deal with the pseudoscience of ID and creationism. Tmtoulouse 15:43, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

My son's National Geographic Kids has a 2008 calendar, which officially recognises 19th September as "International (sic) Talk Like A Pirate Day". Is pirate speech - known to its speakers as "poirate-haharr!" ("Haharr!" is a punctuation in p-h) - the liturgical language ? And if so should this page and further posts not be translated into p-h? Perhaps we should pray for guidance while partaking of the Communion of Spag Bol ? Hoc enim corpus meum me hearties ! Amen. AVAST !

Actually, I think that agnosticism is the best attitude. I mean, I cannot prove the Spaghetti Monster exists - but I cannot disprove it either. Intelligent Falling is a convinvincing argument, but how do we KNOW it is the FSM pushing down, and not the hooves of the Invisible Pink Unicorn? I mean is there enough rigid pressure in a length of spaghetti, or would a dry piece of rigatone or even radiatori prove more effective ? Could the FSM evolve into another pasta-based supernatural life-forms ? Until these questions can be answered we should stick with what we know- which is that global warming has increased as the number of pirates has declined. And you cannot argue with that.

Well, there are a few issues here. Do the followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster make any claims about his influence on the physical realm? If they do then these could be tested , and if they were found to be untrue, then we could dismiss the FSM as myth. In this case agnosticism would not be appropriate. If, on the other hand, His followers claim that the makes no testable interventions in the real world then he might as well not exist. I suppose that you could then argue that an extreme agnostic position would be appropriate - but atheism would, for all practical purposes, be the same.--Bob^{bing up} 09:34, 6 January 2008 (EST)

As corollary of Blackbeard's Wager I uphold International Talk Like A Pirate Day just to be on the safe side. Genghis ^{Arrrr! Shiver me timbers!} 01:38, 2 December 2008 (EST)

I feel the best position to take on the FSM is to be comfortably seated and armed with a well-made fork. human^{itarian aid} 20:08, 30 January 2008 (EST)

You know, I once wrote an article for Uncyclopedia called the Flying Testicle Monster, because, well... those meatballs do kinda' look like testicles, don't they? --_Essayist RA ^Talk __Fruitcake! 20:01, 30 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Disrespect

Can the so-called humour (humor!) be removed from this article please. Under NOMA it should be treated with due respect. SusanG 14:25, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

I actually agree with this. This is one deity that we do not want to piss off. tmtoulouse ^beset 14:26, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

I would have thought that the stripper factory would count equally for women too? The factory can make male strippers as well as female strippers. Also, the strippers are manufactured, and as such do not suffer for their work, much like the small boys assigned to male preists in the christian afterlife. RAmen Crundy 07:27, 28 July 2008 (EDT)
