Online Reference For Body, Mind & Spirit

Term: Flying Spaghetti Monster

DEFINITION:

The deity of a religious parody. This began in 2005 when a man named Bobby Henderson wrote an open letter protesting a decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to allow the teaching of "intelligent design" in public school science classes. He claimed he worshiped as creator a being that looked like spaghetti and meatballs and that he should get equal time. It was an attempt to mock the school board, but after he posted the letter to his website it became an internet phonomenon, and has grown in numerous ways. Followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster are known as "Pastafarians."
