So so entertaining. A must read
This was an Amazon suggestion for me. I read it and realized it perfectly matched with my offbeat sense of humor. I was not disappointed. It is very funny with the illogical logic that I appreciate so much. I only wish that this was recognized as a real religion in all of the states instead of just a couple. If that were the case I would have signed up to become a minister. Wouldn't it be great if you could officiate your friends wedding and they could be married by someone from the church of the flying spaghetti monster.As someone else mentioned, the book is not a nice red book with the ribbon in it. What you see in the posting is what is on the cover - and that is a picture of a nice red book with a ribbon. It doesn't matter because the contents make up for it.Anyway this is 100% entertainment and if you don't think this is funny then you don't have a sense of humor. Just buy it. You'll be glad you did.

Funny as the Hell we are going to...
Every bit as believable as another best-selling book the name of which I will not say (Rhymes with Fible), with much less violence, far fewer contradictions, and much more humor.

Let us begin...
Here you are once more, on the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster page on Amazon. No... no, don't leave yet. Stay awhile -- relax a bit, have some tea. Chamomile perhaps? It was always a favorite of mine, back in the old days in the Romanian countryside, where I grew to manhood alongside Scruffles, my pet bear. Scruffles was a gentle bear for the most part, but he was a deeply troubled soul. I could not forsee what terrible things he would do to that family. Sometimes I think back on it and wonder what more I could have done for him; wonder if there were any signs that I missed, or if I had ever been unkind to him in any way...Oh, but I forget myself again. I apologize. Let me stoke the fire one moment.... there... now where were we? Oh yes, the book. Yes, here you are once more, perhaps after a few days, or maybe even months. You've heard whispers about it, you've seen the reviews, and perhaps you even watched a friend read it. You saw it listed once, you clicked on it -- you debated on whether or not you should dip into the money you were saving for your wife's anniversary dinner. Or perhaps you scoffed, your nose held high, unwilling to part with your hard earned cash in exchange for this utter rubbish. Whatever the case, you're back here, aren't you?Is it a sale that now draws your attention? Perhaps it's always been on your list of books to buy? Or has the morbid curiosity in you reached that point of no return? Are you unable to restrain yourself from clicking that purchase button? Are you even okay?Don't answer that last question; you ARE okay. You will be okay. Everything from now on will always be.... okay. You see it wasn't just you that brought you back here for what could possibly be the fifth time... it was Flying Spaghetti Monster. You don't know Flying Spaghetti Monster, except that you do. Flying Spaghetti Monster has always been with you, whether you're aware of it or not. The lingering presence, the angel on your shoulder, the devil in your gut -- all of it was the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Flying Spaghetti Monster has been with you in your dreams. Flying Spaghetti Monster was with you during your SAT's. Flying Spaghetti Monster was there when you stood beside the pastor and watched your beloved walk down the isle.Flying Spaghetti Monster was there. Flying Spaghetti Monster was always there.And here you are again, reading this review, wondering whether or not you should purchase the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster; wondering if it will fulfill you in ways only few other books have. Or maybe you just wonder why you're back here again, after so many other visits, trying to figure out just what it is that compels you to return. Well there are no more questions you need to ask yourself now is there? There are no more questions because suddenly the way is clear.Flying Spaghetti Monster is calling you home. From the moment you were born, Flying Spaghetti Monster has been there with you, watching over you, waiting until you were worthy of the glory that lies beyond the purchase button. Every time you nearly touched it, it was Flying Spaghetti Monster that slapped your hand away.... because you were not yet ready for the greatness. But Flying Spaghetti Monster is calling you, and you can hear him now. Flying Spaghetti Monster is waiting for you on the other side. The great beyond lies waiting for you -- it is a place of light, healing, transcendence... and beer. Lots, and lots of beer.Come home to the great beyond. Come home to the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

A Field Day for Lovers of Logical Fallacies
OK, I'll have to admit - Bobby Henderson's open letter to the Topeka Kansas School Board, which proposed that his "Flying Spaghetti Monster" theory be taught on equal footing with the Theory of Evolution and Theory of Intelligent Design - was brilliant, witty and great fun; and was an extremely effective and innovative way to illustrate that science must be about facts, and that facts can be proven or disproven: that science is not about one's beliefs over and above those facts.In that vein, Mr. Henderson's book-length version of that open letter is filled with lots of fun and elaborate "theories" and arguments, designed to lampoon many of Intelligent Design's arguments by showing them up for the logical fallacies that they are. On the other hand, the approach he uses in the book gets a bit repetitive and long winded, to the point of being tedious. So, like other great satires of the past, such as the 1960's TV Series "Batman", or the more recent Shrek films, the joke gets old after a while.I would say that Mr. Henderson's contention that Intelligent Design places a veneer of faith on top of flawed logic is both brilliant and humorously presented. The book length version of that satire, while providing a fair number of chuckles and deep thoughts to ponder over pasta, is best read in small doses.Though I'd give 5 stars for the concept, the execution of it in this volume is only a 2 star effort. So let's be generous and - given that it does succeed in generating chuckles at a fairly consistent pace - I'll rate the book as 4 stars overall.

I have been touched, and not the bad kind.
Beliefs even your kids can swallow. And, lo, it arrived early having been guided by his noodly appendage!
