    What makes you think it is a cult?

    See, calling it a cult implies that you know of people who actually practice the religion with sincerity. I'm calling your bluff. I don't think you do.

    No I don't know anything about it. it's what I thought it was, I stand corrected by a guy who likes to swing a big stick and to be honest If you want to pray to the flying spaghetti monster and hail his noodly appendage then go for it for me it sounds like a complete waste of time and is a joke and parody of religion and can be considered a cult by the definition of the word cult but hey what do I know

    If you think it's a cult, not much apparently

    a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object: this is the definition by the dictionary of the word cult

    That might be so, but nothing about Pastafarianism/Flying Spaghetti Monster makes me think that it satisfies that definition. To the contrary, everything I know about it makes me think that the definition does not apply -- and that's why I found it so odd that you would insist it is a cult. :dunno:

    Ok I'll put my hands and surrender but honestly I don't how this is a religion and no thanks Hannibal Limbo Dancing Nah I prefer Martial Arts so I have learnt that it is not a cult but it's too weird for me and honestly when heard about this it was only a small thing and now it sounds like it is a global religion this world is crazy that's why thought it was a cult because I only thought it was a small church thing like the rattlesnake church known as snake salvation so I do stand corrected by a cannibal and guy with a big stick lol (Aussie humour) So let's just say I'm wrong and sorry for getting carried but I really did not know how stupidly big this religion has got :)

    It's not actually a religion. That's the thing. It's a parody of religion. It's a satire. It's tongue-in-cheek humorous way of making fun of theistic religions, and the people who believe in god(s).
