Entimology or previous uses of related words

I know The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster recognizes 2005 as their official founding year.

I'm just curious if anyone else has found references to it from before then. Feel free to add them in as references to the article if you see fit. And add more if you find them.

Pastafarian - Earliest I can find is the episode "Letting Go" Step by Step: Season 4, Episode 10 Air date: November 25, 1994 (A little over 10 minutes in) Patrick Duffy's character says "Oh honey, he's a weirdo. He looks like one of those Pastafarians" when describing the boy his daughter just introduced him to in the previous scene. - Klostrophobik (talk) 22:55, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Flying spaghetti monster has been a phrase since the 1970's

The history of the flying spaghetti monster, or the church thereof, is grotesquely incomplete. I have heard the phrase "the church of the flying spaghetti monster," or at least of the "flying spaghetti monster" since the early 70's. So, please do a better job with your research! 2601:8C0:280:8C0:125:E8DC:DB9B:33DE (talk) 16:54, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

: Wikipedia is based on reliable sources and nothing else. Do you have a source stating that the sentence was already used in the 70s? Please also see WP:BURDEN. --McSly (talk) 17:30, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Edit request

The phrase, "...that promotes a light-hearted view of religion" has a source of one article, from USA Today, written by one person. As this is a central claim to this entry, it would seem that there should be greater evidence than just the opinion of one person. I recommend removal of the phrase, particularly as other sources within this wiki entry cite that the view of FSM is anything but light-hearted. 75.249.104.48 (talk) 15:13, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:{{not done}}. If there are reliable sources saying that it is not light-hearted, we could revisit this. But this is really a WP:BLUESKY thing: it's obviously light-hearted, even if it addresses serious underlying issues. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:53, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
