An utterly brilliant letter from Pastor Len Guini of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, to Hon. Julie Bishop MP, Minister for Education, Science and Training, Australia.

"As you may be aware, Pastafarians believe the world was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. While in the past year we have seen enormous growth in the number of Australians professing our faith, and greater interest yet in our beliefs and Holy writings, we continue to face a gap in awareness about our faith among the general community.

In particular, we are saddened that increasing numbers of school students are being taught about the Christian God in their science classrooms, but they have yet to be taught about the other main explanation for the creation of the universe: the intervention of the FSM, and the beneficient nudges of His Noodly Appendages."

Their proposal is to place government-funded Pastafarian chaplains in schools and finishes with this pledge:

"When it comes to our schools, and indeed the Australian community as a whole, we humbly pledge to put the 'pasta' back into 'pastoral care'."
