Meet this new religion ... it will make you very funny!

We are not promoting mockery of the beliefs of others, it is simply that this new religion, called pastafarismo , has emerged as a humorous way to fight against certain educational decrees in the United States.Do you dare to see what it is about?

Your reason

The United States is a secular country : the Church and the State are separated and a code governs civil for the acts of the people.Therefore, is expressly prohibited in its Constitution the teaching of any religion in public schools .

However, for being its population mostly Christian (Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Mormons, Evangelicals, Congregationalists, Adventists, and a long and large group), in 1999 many fundamentalist groups, who do not believe in theories of evolution, argued that evolutionism should be considered as one more religion and that, in that sense, creationism (the biblical version of the creation of the world) should be taught in schools to give students an alternative point of view.

They also began to stop calling creationism creationism onism, to call it "intelligent design", trying to scientifically legitimize divine creation, while equaling its validity with that of evolutionary tests, without mentioning any religion specifically.

In 2004 the Kansas Education Council , where its members are popularly elected and the educational policies of that entity are decided, I order all state schools to impart the same amount of teaching hours to Darwinian evolutionism and to the intelligent design, since according to them they had the same scientific validity...

This is where the creator of this new religion comes in.

His prophet

In 2005, Bobby Henderson addressed an open letter to the Council protesting the norm assumed by state schools, which forced teachers to teach "intelligent design" and evolutionism on equal terms.

Bobby Henderson

In view of that, he asked that his new religion, the pastafarismo , I would receive the same treatment and that his version of the creation of the world would also be taught, so that it would be another alternative.

Religion

The world was created by a flying ball giant spaghetti with meatballs , called Flying Spaghetti Monster (in English, Flying Spaghetti Monster ).He got a response from the Council only when Henderson published the letter on his website.

As the confrontation became more noticeable, the traffic on the Flying Spaghetti Monster website grew exponentially, and exploded definitively when this invented god appeared in various blogs and humor sites (such as Something Awful, Uncyclopedia, Boing Boing and Fark.com).

This parody religion proposes the Flying Spaghetti Monster as its god.Its followers are called pastafaris (in clear allusion to the rastafaris ) and proclaim, humorously, having been "touched by his noodles appendix."

The god is undetectable and invisible, and I create the world after an epic drunkenness, which explains worldly imperfections .The evidence supporting the evolutionary theory was planted by this god to prove the faith of the faithful-and thus parody the position of those who believe in the infallibility of the Bible-Therefore, everything seems to be older than it is.

The Monster inevitably guides human behavior, believe it or not, through its "noodles appendixes." Besides, natural disasters, such as earthquakes or global warming, are a direct consequence of the drastic decline of pirates in the century XIX. At this point, Henderson made fun of the logical fallacy that "correlation implies cause," used by various religious groups to affirm that the increase in catastrophes and wars are a direct consequence of the decline in religious values in the world.Therefore, those who teach pastafarism should dress as pirates , and if not do so would be considered a lack of respect for their beliefs.

The sky pastafari has beer volcanoes everywhere, and a factory of dancers and dancers striptease .on the contrary, in the hell the volcanoes are full of hot beer and without gas, and the dancers suffer from venereal diseases.

Their sacred day is Friday, and devotees must dressing completely as pirates; Its main symbol is a cross where a fork rests to eat pasta.

Any prayer addressed to God must end with the word Ramen or r'Amen , never Amen (as you know, the ramen is a Japanese noodle soup).And, of course, his Gospel presents the principles of pastafarism and explains the belief system in which is based.Here is included a myth about the creation of the world, a propaganda guide of catechism, certain pseudo scientific tests and some jokes with the word "pasta", as well as a guide to the sacred days pastafaris and a code of behavior listed in the commandments "I would really rather not."

Thus, this religion with this convoluted god became a symbol of struggle against the teachings of intelligent design in public schools.

Borders outside

Incredible as it may seem, in Austria and the Czech Republic there were citizens who managed to obtain ner official documents (such as a driver's license or identity card) with photographs showing a pasta strainer like a hat.´

In both countries it is allowed to wear your head covered for religious reasons (for example , the Muslims and the nuns ), and in the case of pastafarismo, the pasta strainer is considered a religious pastafari garment.

In December 2005, Henderson received an advance of 80,000 dollars from Villard publishing house to write the much-loved Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster , which was published in March 2006.On the website they have sold more than 100,000 copies .

Naturally, everyone knows that it is not really a religion, it is only the will to show state arbitrariness (of any tado) by privileging one belief system over another.Who knows, maybe humor allows us to understand at once that humanity is above any religion.
