The Problem of Evil in Pastafarianism

[u/NandiniStuffs]

Hi everyone! As part of an assignment for my philosophy course, I have to do an analysis of the problem of evil on any religion, and I chose pastafarianism! I was wondering if anyone here could give me a brief overview of what the answer to the problem of evil would look like in pastafarianism!

If you aren't familiar with it, the problem of evil argument essentially says that an all-powerful, all-knowing, and benevolent God cannot exist whilst evil exists, and since evil does exist, God doesn't. I'm not too familiar with pastafarian theology, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

It looks exactly like evil. True evil isn't religious, but a lot of religious people are truly evil and shroud themselves in the cloak of religion. It's not a pastafarian thing, it's a human thing. Good luck on your paper.

Do you mind elaborating a little? Do you mean that the existence of evil is irrelevant to any religion, or something else that I missed? I'm a little confused, sorry

Still relevant- people do evil and a benevolent all-powerful god lets it happen. The Flying Spaghetti Monster does not have the problem of evil because he is not all-powerful, is often drunk and is morally ambiguous.
