The Gospel Is Here!!

I just received this e-mail from Bobby Henderson, founder of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster:

Fellow Believers,

Our day has finally arrived! The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is at last
here. Maybe not inscribed on stone tablets, but it is a book. And maybe not THE
Good Book, but at least A Good Book.

Delivering His Divine Message is my life’s work, and as I’ve said before, all
proceeds from the book will go toward our pirate ship fund. Because as you know,
global warming is the direct effect of the declining number of pirates, and His
Noodliness, while he endorses boiling pasta, is against boiling the planet. With
your help, and with the sails blowing on our bad-ass pirate ship (with flags,
cannons, and weevils in the flour barrels below deck), we can spread His Word and
save the environment at the same time.

Remember that ours is a small boutique religion, but we have BIG ideas (some,
arguably a bit al dente) and we must share this rich booty of ideas with others.
Within the pages of The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, you will find FSM
history, helpful propaganda, scientific evidence of His existence (including the
100% verifiable fact that no one has sued any school boards about us), as well as
pictures and illustrations that surely test the limits of copyright law. But as
pioneers we’re not afraid of a little controversy.

Since The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster goes on sale tomorrow, we must
consider March 28th a Holy day. I encourage you to dress in your Pirate’s
best—paint one of your pant legs to resemble a wood finish, maybe wear an eye
patch or get a parrot, and eat some cacciatore with a side of linguine. Then, go to
your local bookstore to let them know that The Church of FSM is strong in your
community. I can honestly say that if everyone on this e-mail list goes out and buys
the book, it will be a bestseller. That would certainly get some people’s
attention.

Our future is in our own hands. And in His noodly appendage.

Ramen.
