Book description
It all began in June 2005 when Bobby Henderson wrote an open letter to
the Kansas School Board proposing a third alternative to the teaching of
evolution and intelligent design in schools.
Bobby is a prophet of sorts, the spiritual leader of a growing,
world-wide group of followers who worship the teachings of The Flying
Spaghetti Monster (FSM).
The FSM appeared to Bobby as a giant ball of spaghetti, with meatballs
for eyes, and touched Bobby with “His noodly appendage” - resulting in
the revelation that the FSM is the real creator of the universe. The FSM
faithful look to Bobby as their prophet and spiritual leader. Shortly
after Bobby's revelation a website (www. flyingspaghettimonster. org)
came into existence to promote the word. Then came the articles, which
were worldwide: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian
(UK), Die Welt (Germany), Surprise (Austria), and many others chimed in
to report the existence of the FSM. Bobby received letters of support
from academics and Kansas School Board members alike - not to mention a
couple million hits per day on the website - and it was all-too-clear
that there needed to be a book to lay out FSM scripture, rites and
observances, proofs, and answers to the Big Questions. This is that
book. Bobby Henderson holds a B. S. in physics, and although he has
received several job offers from Las Vegas gambling interests (really…
we're serious), he currently supports himself as a full-time prophet.
Bobby got his start as a prophet in 2005, shortly after the Flying
Spaghetti Monster appeared before him and disclosed that He was the true
creator of the universe. The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is
his first religious tome.
