 | Not the Religion of Your Forefathers Posted by Luke Setzer on 10/10, 12:37pm | |
| Created as a joke in May 2005, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has rapidly expanded its membership rolls to the point of gaining a foothold as a recognized religion at the University of Central Florida (UCF). From the article: A new religion that started up one year ago called the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has arrived at UCF and students are joining in on it. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, also known as the Pastafarian movement, is based on the belief that a flying spaghetti monster is above everyone and touches them with his noodley appendage, said Magus Dethen, a digital media major. "It brings joy and harmony to all people," Dethen said. Dethen is one of many Pastafarians, as they call themselves, preaching the word of this new church. The church was started in May 2005 when Bobby Henderson, a 24-year-old physics graduate, wrote a letter to the Kansas State Board of Education protesting the decision to teach intelligent design in place of evolution. | ||
