<Tr> <Th> Festivals </Th> <Td> "Holiday" </Td> </Tr> <P> The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Pastafarianism . Pastafarianism (a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarianism) is a social movement that promotes a light - hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools . According to adherents, Pastafarianism is a "real, legitimate religion, as much as any other". It is legally recognized as a religion in the Netherlands and New Zealand--where Pastafarian representatives are authorized to officiate weddings . However, in the United States, a federal judge has ruled that the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" is not a real religion . </P> <P> The "Flying Spaghetti Monster" was first described in a satirical open letter written by Bobby Henderson in 2005 to protest the Kansas State Board of Education decision to permit teaching intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in public school science classes . In the letter, Henderson demanded equal time in science classrooms for "Flying Spaghetti Monsterism", alongside intelligent design and evolution . After Henderson published the letter on his website, the Flying Spaghetti Monster rapidly became an Internet phenomenon and a symbol of opposition to the teaching of intelligent design in public schools . </P> <P> Pastafarian tenets (generally satires of creationism) 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 in 2006 . The central belief is that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe . Pirates are revered as the original Pastafarians . Henderson asserts that a decline in the number of pirates over the years is the cause of global warming . The FSM community congregates at Henderson's website to share ideas about the Flying Spaghetti Monster and crafts representing images of it . </P>
