The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Bobby Henderson Books

Though "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster," as revealed to the Prophet Bobby Henderson by FSM Himself, may seem like satire, it does support itself with many mathematical and ontological proofs in its conclusion. Pastafarians do not oppose those who want to teach intelligent design; rather, they encourage it and want to join them in presenting any and all available theories to the public so that they can decide for themselves. In the end, FSM rejects dogma and embraces a more satisfying and accepting lifestyle than any yet promoted by existing religions.

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Bobby Henderson Books Reviews

OK, I'll have to admit - Bobby Henderson's open letter to the Topeka Kansas School Board, which proposed that his "Flying Spaghetti Monster" theory be taught on equal footing with the Theory of Evolution and Theory of Intelligent Design - was brilliant, witty and great fun; and was an extremely effective and innovative way to illustrate that science must be about facts, and that facts can be proven or disproven that science is not about one's beliefs over and above those facts.

In that vein, Mr. Henderson's book-length version of that open letter is filled with lots of fun and elaborate "theories" and arguments, designed to lampoon many of Intelligent Design's arguments by showing them up for the logical fallacies that they are. On the other hand, the approach he uses in the book gets a bit repetitive and long winded, to the point of being tedious. So, like other great satires of the past, such as the 1960's TV Series "Batman", or the more recent Shrek films, the joke gets old after a while.

I would say that Mr. Henderson's contention that Intelligent Design places a veneer of faith on top of flawed logic is both brilliant and humorously presented. The book length version of that satire, while providing a fair number of chuckles and deep thoughts to ponder over pasta, is best read in small doses.

Though I'd give 5 stars for the concept, the execution of it in this volume is only a 2 star effort. So let's be generous and - given that it does succeed in generating chuckles at a fairly consistent pace - I'll rate the book as 4 stars overall.
Changed my life. Will never look at lasagna the same
I was looking for an alternate "religion" where I can feel accepted and preach about love. Finding the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) was the best thing it happened to me. Not only I trust in the "Intelligent Design" but also I do believes that our ancestors, the Pirates, are our only option to salvation. Also its Heaven is so far better than any other. So if you are looking for a "All-Inclusive Religion" this one is the perfect for you.
This is a book, with a picture of this red book on the cover. Complete crap and not worth giving as a gift as I planned.
After reading the bible multiple times in my youth I had no choice but to become an atheist. I thought I was done with "divine" creation, wonton bloodlust, irreconcilable moral quandaries, and the valuation of women in terms of livestock. But then comes the FSM and I can already feel the damp touch of his divine, noodly appendage guiding me back to spiritually. I like the fact that this religion promotes equality among all people and genders and, let's be honest... beer volcano. 'Nuff said.
Funny if you are not a believer. Offensive if you are! The point can be missed if you are not looking for it. It is all about plausibility. How can we know which “God” if any is the right person to serve? Ra-men
Very good book, makes a lot of sense as well. Except there is one issue. You don't get the red book in the picture. you get a book with a picture of the red book on the cover. Didn't stop me from reading it
If you're a recent convert to Pastafarianism or just interested in the core "beliefs", this is the definitive book on the subject. I purchased my copy shortly after becoming a minister of the Pastafarian faith. The hardcover version which I received has a handy cloth bookmark built in.

As far as religious texts go, this is probably the most entertaining gospel I have ever read. The book clearly defines the religious practices and beliefs of the followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, along with contrasts to other currently popular religions. Many current debates that have our society separating church and state are discussed in clear and logical ways to bring the reader to the conclusion that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a loving and caring deity who wants humans to be happy and live fulfilling lives.

Some things I learned from this book
1. Gravity is actually the result of the FSM (Flying Spaghetti Monster)'s invisible noodly appendages lovingly holding everything down on Earth where we are safe.
2. Heaven awaits the faithful with beer volcanoes and a stripper factory.
3. Ramendon, Pastover, Holiday (a.k.a. December), and every Friday are religious holidays that should be celebrated by consuming carbs and intoxicating beverages.
