Does this new religion have merit?
Here is a song that was inspired by the words from the pages of the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Pastafarians do not believe in gravity. Pastafarians believe that things are held down by the touching of the Flying Spaghetti Monster's noodley appendages. They do not believe in gravity. They believe in a scientific term known as Intelligent Falling. To keep shorter people from falling off of the earth the Flying Spaghetti Monster must reach down further. It is believed that because the Flying Spaghetti Monster makes a greater effort to hold short people to the ground that he loves them more. The first creature that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created was a midget.
It is one of the fears of Pastafarians that some people take their religion too seriously and miss out on a joyful life. The spirit of their faith is to bring humor to an otherwise hostile discussion. The Flying Spaghetti Monster has even showed humor in his creation. The Duckbill Platypus is one example given in the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The Flying Spaghetti Monster recommends (he never demands anything) that we never take ourselves too seriously.
There are no documented deaths attributed to the Pastafarian religion. This is something of which they are very proud. Tolerance, humor and a lesser demanding god are some of the things that have made this a reality. Let's be honest, the short time span of which Pastafarianism has existed can also be attributed to their success.
One of the appeals of the Pastafarian religion is their low moral standards. Just like noodles their morals are flimsy. They can wibble and wobble from being strong to being weak depending on the convenience of the situation. Perhaps this part of the song could be challenged. Their morals are not really weak as much as they are flexible.
This was no doubt a poetic license on the part of the author but still inspired by their scripture. A lot of the text in the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster contradicts itself. These paradoxes were put into place by the Flying Spaghetti Monster to test the reader's faith. This concept is described in the first few pages of the book. (Note: This is not in the book. This is a result of the author's own inspiration. Noodles need heat to take on form and character. We probably need heat or some sort of standard to improve our character. Low moral standards take away the heat or motivation for us to behave. I see it as a paradox but one that cannot be overcame with thoughtful inquiry.)
This is very important for Pastafarians. They are encouraged to think things out. The Flying Spaghetti Monster even asks his followers not to take everything that he says for fact. They are encouraged to use their noodle so to speak. They are to use their brain for solving problems even on the subject of morality.
This is the most powerful statement of the Pastafarian religion. Rejecting dogma is something that they do to such an extreme that they are even open to the possibility that the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't exist. All that they demand is proof of His non-existence. Once it is proven that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not exist, Pastafarians can still practice the willingness to use their brain to solve complex life problems.
I hope that this song makes some sense of what is said in the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I was truly inspired by the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster although I don't quite see this religion as having any potential for longevity. For the uninformed student of Pastafarianism, I do hope this post was informative and useful.
So what do you guys think of this new religion? Does it have any merit?

Flying Spaghetti Monster Song said:But some be short
Extra touching
Gravity
It is a farce.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Song said:Some say our way
It is a joke.
And to them
We do say, "Nope"
How can we laugh
of spaghetti?
Humor and tol-
erance is key.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Song said:We do like peace
Just like a dove.
No one's been killed
By noodley love.

An open mind

Ever be missed.
It's possible
He don't exist.
