The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the parody religion[1][2] the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Pastafarianism. The "Flying Spaghetti Monster" first appeared in a satirical open letter by Bobby Henderson in 2005, written in protest against the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to permit the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in public school science classes.[3] In the letter, Henderson parodied the concept of intelligent design by professing belief in a supernatural creator that closely resembles spaghetti and meatballs. Henderson further called for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism to be allotted equal time in science classrooms alongside intelligent design and evolution.[4] After Henderson published the letter on his website, it rapidly became an internet phenomenon and a symbol for the case against teaching intelligent design in public schools.[5] Pastafarian "beliefs" are generally satires of creationism. They are presented both on Henderson's Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster website, where he is described as "prophet", and in The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, written by Henderson and published by Villiard Press in 2006. The central belief is that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. Pirates are revered as the original Pastafarians (a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarian),[6] and Henderson asserts that the steady decline in the number of pirates over the years has resulted in global warming.[4] The FSM community currently congregates at Henderson's website to share ideas and crafts devoted to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Due to its popularity and exposure, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is often used as a contemporary version of Russell's teapot – an argument that theories that cannot be proven false must proven true by those who propose them, or be rejected. While generally praised by the media and endorsed by members of the scientific community, the Flying Spaghetti Monster has received criticism from the intelligent design community. Self-described Pastafarians have engaged in religious disputes, including in Polk County, Florida, where they played a role in dissuading the local school board from adopting new rules on teaching evolution.[ you believe a flying spaghetti monster created the universe?
Okay, I thought you were making the whole Pastafarian shit up, but after reading this, I stand corrected. Thats pretty interesting. Now, I may not believe a flying spaghetti monster created the universe, but do believe the concept of "unlimited giving" helped play a role. It was the idea of helping eachother to better the community. This is what Santa believes in, and there are few qualified people that can argue this with me... I really wanted the Santa Movement started with the guys reading this, but am not sure that will happen. But it doesnt matter anymore. Its going to get done, and that is the exciting part.
Here is a link to a SAnta school: Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School - World's Oldest Santa School Apparently, it is one of the best and has been around for 75 years, teaching Santas in different countries. These guys dress in the nicest of robes, and if throwing a party where SAnta were involved, I am sure they would meet your expectations... But they are not thinking like Santa, and that is the part I don't understand. Are you telling me that not one of these guys dressing like Santa has thought like Santa in all of this time? I mean, its a pretty simple concept: Santa means charity. I look at the Mrs Clauses, and wonder how come none of these woman wanted to update her. I mean, Mrs Claus was created in a time when woman were considered inferior to men, and her role reflects that...Shit, I want to modernize MRs Claus, and turn her into an attractive giver. The funny part is that once the Santa Movement gets started, these guys will be forced to hop on board. I mean, there are a lot of excellent Santas who would appreciate the work I am trying to do. But there are a lot that look at Santa like a business ( I guess they are the smart ones right now) Either way, I really hope I am given the opportunity to call out the Santa community, and help society start using the image correctly. Yes, it is fun as shit to be Santa, and the feeling is addicting ( the addiction cost me everything)...But we as a society can't afford this attitude. We need to relook at Santa as a whole, and figure out the best possible way to use this character to benefit the community. Shits not being done, and right now, the corporations own the image. LOL!! I know this is fucking crazy, but to me, its so obvious. IT would just take a couple of years... IF this happens, there will be members of the Santa community that will be pissed. LOL!!
P.S. A Santa School should be an educational center for children. That is what the "real" Santa would be focused on.
Interesting, but what good is he doing with the image of Santa? Yes, he is crazy, so that kind of qualifies him to be the part. But what he is doing is completely different than me ( although I was kicked out of the Charmin Toilet store in Times Square. LOL!!) Canadian Lady, do you think Canada could benefit if everytime Santa was used up North, a portion could go to helping the sick or children? Seriously. How do you think Canada would respond?
If we're 'giving', we'll give 100% support. And yes, Zanta seems a little fucked up with his push-ups and "Yea, yea, yeas", but he is a very smart Torontonian. You will need his support.
Why would I need his support? It says he has been kicked out of places in Toronto, and seems to be a nuisance ( kind of like me on GC. LOL!!) As far as the push up thing goes...I do want to help introduce a healthier version of Santa, but not one on steroids. A healthy Santa could help with Childhood obesity, and set an important precedent. Believe it or not, I can't wait until I can stop talking about this Santa thing...If you think you guys are tired of it, I am more so...I would like to do other things with my life, but am stuck. I am one of the few people qualified to kickstart this campaign, and can't believe the way I have been treated. I really hope I can get some publicity this December just so I can work on this. Two years to change Santa into a tool for charity... Again, come December, I want to see what we can do..
So, I spoke with Social Services last week on the phone. They had requested paperwork. I said I wanted to speak to her and set up a meeting. I told her I have a "different sort of case". She told me she just needs to know my financial situation, and that is all she cared about. She was rude to me, and hung up on me. I just mailed in a four page letter titled "My Financial Situation". LOL!! I am not sure if she will read it, but it is pretty fucking funny. I explained that I was an "Enemy of the State", and said how I break New York State law, if possible, four times a day. I sure hope they have a sense of humor down at the Social Service department.
I am starting to be more vocal with this Santa thing. I just sent a "Santa packet" to a friend I knew four years before, and have given "material" to some of the guys I play basketball with. They they all know about me and Santa, they don't really know. one guy asked for more stuff. He said he likes to read it with this wife. I thought that was a cool reply This shit is going to get done. I feel my brain becoming more focused on this shit, and am constantly smiling. I just feel really good.
hahahahahah this thread cracks me up. its almost like your just playing with our govt for the fuckin fun of it. not saying your not serious about what you do by all means. im rootin for you man, i hope one day you make it to where you want to be and people rememeber.. santa.
That is the whole idea behind Santa. You kind of figured it out Take a look at Santa Porn. I want to promote Santa Porn, when it is being used correctly. This idea alone could raise millions for charity, and though it might be a joke to some, I am sure kids could be helped with this money. Who the fuck can argue this point against me? LOL!! The industry has used the image for years, and nobody has done shit. Just because I make a popolur campaigin promoting charity in porn is suddenly people going to be upset, and say "what about the kids"...LOL!! I welcome that fight with anyone in the world. If we want to make a law forbidding Santa's use in porn, I will be the first to sign it. But until then, it is my responsibility to let the porn well know about this idea ( this is a cool job, huh? LOL!!) The same thing goes with marijuana. You think some politician or doctor, after I started the Santa Movement, will be able to publically say that weed is bad for people like me, and their drugs are better? I discovered "white gold", not through digging, but because I have a huge fucking heart, and love a smile. Good fucking luck trying to portray me to be a bad guy. LOL!! I welcome it, but I just want a fair chance to compete. Personally, I am pretty pissed about has happened to me, especially with the incident in the hospital. FUCK THAT SHIT!! Santa Economics came withinthisclose of being a useless theory locked in the mind of a nut job confined to a mental ward the rest of my life ( that memory still makes me tear up) Its pretty tough not to be a little messed up with all I have been through, and I am a bit nuts. But in such a good way, people don't know how to react. I find my life quite interesting, and I am always seen laughing or smiling. I just can't help it.
Currently getting my degree in university, not worrying about how I can get Santa publicity or make "Santa porn". But I guess if thats what makes you happy then go for it. It just sounds like an obsession to me.
getting a degree at a university to get a job that pays you money sounds like an obession to me to. But hey, if that makes you happy, go for it.. The world needs people like you to.
I'm not talking about my degree in threads all the time and my username isn't "degree" Your off your rocker.
