The Second Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

At last, the long-awaited sequel to The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Dr. Marios Karagiannis, ordained Pastafarian minister (since 2013) and distinguished scholar of divine absurdity, invites readers back into the swirling sauce of existence with The Second Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a fresh serving of faith, reason, and carbohydrates. Within these sacred (and slightly sticky) pages you will discover: The true story of how the universe was re-boiled in the Great Saucepan of Creation. The Eight New "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts", updated for the digital age. A detailed taxonomy of holy noodles, from Linguina Primordialis to Penne Posthumana. The secret geography of the afterlife, where the Beer Volcano forever flows, the Stripper Factory never closes, and the paperwork of Hell never ends. New revelations about midgets, pirates, and cosmic leftovers and why the shortest among us are the holiest of all. Blending satire and philosophy, theology and laughter, Karagiannis serves up a gospel for a skeptical century: warm, inclusive, and al dente. Whether you are a devout Pastafarian, a curious skeptic, or simply hungry for meaning, this book will leave you both enlightened and slightly sauced.
