By Cydney Farish

Bobby Henderson protested the Kansas State Board of Education in a letter
Became mainstream in May 2005 when the letter was published

3. Pastafarian Beliefs
Invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster got wasted and created the universe
Evidence of evolution was planted by the Flying Spaghetti
Monster as a test of faith
Intoxication is the reason for a flawed Earth

4. Beliefs Cont. Heaven = beer volcanoes and stripper factories
Hell = stale beer and strippers with STDs

5. Pirates Original Pastafarians, “divine beings”
Decline of Pirates = natural disasters
Pirate ghosts = Bermuda Triangle

6. Pastafarian Holidays September 19th – Talk Like A Pirate Day
Every Friday is a holy day
“Holiday” - around the time of Christmas, Hannakuh, etc.
“Pastover” – Passover

8. Rules No strict rules No rituals and prayers
Don’t take yourself or other Pastafarians too seriously
Embrace contradictions
Like beer

9. Pastafarians There are millions of them
They wear pasta strainers on their heads
