Why noodles and spaghetti? FSM
Let’s explore the amazing world of pasta and divine intervention now.
FSM is the transcendent entity of noodly goodness that has won many people’s hearts and stomachs. But why is the Flying Spaghetti Monster so fixated on spaghetti and noodles? Indeed, they are wonderful, but surely there must be more to it than that.
I’ve finally worked it out after doing a lot of studies (which primarily required eating a lot of spaghetti).
We’ll start by discussing the history of pasta. Notwithstanding claims to the contrary, the history of the noodle is far longer and more diverse than that of Italy. Noodles were first referenced in Chinese manuscripts from the fifth century BCE, and it is thought that Marco Polo carried them to Italy in the thirteenth century. It is therefore safe to assume that the Flying Spaghetti Monster has existed for a considerable amount of time.
Why, then, noodles? Why not sushi, pizza, or even tacos? I do have a few theories, though.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster wouldn’t be able to carry out his divine responsibilities if he were made of pizza. Also, if he were formed of tacos, he would be too prone to disintegrate. Noodles and spaghetti, though? They are both flexible and strong. These are the ideal limbs for a traveling deity.
Noodles are said to be the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s choice as a symbol for the interconnection of all things. Some think that the Monster just likes carbohydrates. Yet I think the Monster’s fondness for noodles has a deeper, more spiritual explanation.
Noodles are highly adaptable, as you can see. They can be prepared in a plethora of ways and combined with a huge variety of sauces and garnishes. Noodles are flexible in this way. And the Flying Spaghetti Monster is centered around that. Noodles and spaghetti aren’t just appealing to The Flying Spaghetti Monster because they are delectable and useful. Also, he adores them as a representation of the absurdity of human existence.
Satire of religion can be seen in The Flying Spaghetti Monster, for instance. Bobby Henderson created him in 2005 in response to the Kansas Board of Education’s decision to allow the teaching of Intelligent Design alongside evolution in public schools.
The purpose of The Flying Spaghetti Monster is to demonstrate the ridiculousness of Intelligent Design and the notion that a deity created the universe. Henderson was making fun of the notion that any one religion has a monopoly on the truth by depicting his deity as a gigantic ball of spaghetti. He was arguing that if we’re going to invent origin stories, they might as well be entertaining and delectable.
And that is the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s beauty. He serves as a gentle nudge to not take ourselves too seriously. He serves as a reminder that occasionally, the most profound truths can be discovered in the most absurd of settings. He serves as a reminder that spaghetti and noodles are more than just meals.
They’re a symbol of our ability to laugh at ourselves and our willingness to embrace the absurdity of our existence.
So the next time you’re enjoying a plate of noodles or spaghetti, remember that you’re not just fueling your body. You’re also paying tribute to one of the most beloved deities of our time. You’re reminding yourself that life is short, and sometimes, you just need to laugh.
You might even think about wearing a colander on your head in honor of the Flying Spaghetti Monster if you’re feeling particularly pious. It became customary in 2005 after an Austrian man by the name of Niko Alm acquired the right to use a colander as a religious sign in his driver’s license photo. It has since become a cherished emblem of Pastafarianism.
Finally, why spaghetti and noodles? They make the ideal appendages for a noodly overlord since they are delectable, adaptable, and scrumptious. they represent our capacity to accept the absurdity of our existence. Also, they’re simply plain enjoyable. Take a moment to admire the Flying Spaghetti Monster and all that he stands for the next time you’re enjoying a meal of noodles or spaghetti. Who knows, though? He might bless you.
