Scripture of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Published by Villard in 2006, a year after the letter. It supplies what the letter left out — a creation account, the commandments, a pirate history and a heaven containing a beer volcano — and it is the document courts have read when deciding what Pastafarianism actually claims.

Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was published by Villard in 2006, a year after the letter, and it is the document that turned an argument into a religion with contents. It supplies a creation account — the world made in four days by a drunk god, who then rested — the eight commandments, a pirate history, a heaven with a beer volcano and a stripper factory, and a hell that is the same two gone stale. It is also the text courts read. Judges deciding whether Pastafarianism is a religion have quoted the Gospel back at claimants, which is an unusual fate for a humour book and one Henderson has said he did not anticipate. The church has never produced a second scripture, and the community-written material that circulates online has no official standing.
