Would Pastafarians really be humble enough to admit that there is no Flying Spaghetti Monster? According to their Holy Book on pages 28-29 they would change their mind that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not exist as long as proof was provided.
I don't know if I believe them.
Finally, we find that the religions tend to put a lot of stock in "dogma," which is a way of saying they are correct beyond all doubt. Even the most devout of the Pastafarians will scratch their heads and nervously readjust their eye patches at this idea. Dogma implies an absolute belief in something, and in order for people to have an absolute belief in anything, they'd basically have to be fucking omniscient. We have a different approach: FSM believers reject dogma. Which is not to say that we don't believe we're right. Obviously, we do. We simply reserve the right to change our beliefs based on new evidence or greater understanding of old evidence. Our rejection of dogma is so strong that we leave open the possibility that there is no Flying Spaghetti Monster at all. So, in a sense, you could say that we're extremely openminded—we could change our minds someday. All we ask is proof of His nonexistence.
