He created us so that we can create him |
Other religions have a fictional deity so why can't we? The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the creation of Bobby Henderson who wrote a letter to the Kansas School Board about his alternate theory of Intelligent Design. His revelation was that the universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster and he used that to make a point about reality that Intelligent design is just Creationism religious dogma fraudulently repackaged as science.
The Church of Reality adopts the FSM as our fictional deity. As long as we know it is fictional there's no conflict with Realism. Since the FSM was created to make a point about reality it is appropriate that we choose him as our deity.
The Church of Reality also recognizes the Invisible Pink Unicorn. There is much argument as to her exact colour, her shape and size, and other properties of her nonexistence. She burns with anger against theists, and allegedly grinds them beneath her holy hooves. The "believers" famous sayings about faith in the invisible pink unicorn is that, like other religions, it is founded in science and faith. Science - that states that she must be invisible, since we cannot see her. Faith - because we know in our heart that the invisible pink unicorn exists.
