Yes. There are two rational arguments for this possibility. 1) It is possible that everything exists, .'. every eventuality will come to pass, including flying pigs and spaghetti monsters. 2) Deities, should they exist, are shown to crave power and create cults to worship them. I am sure cultless deities would adopt a man made cult in no time. Haha cultless, cutlass... no, not really. Side: Yes

Just expand #1. 1) It is possible given an infinite amount of time, then an infinite amount of things would exist. (Premise) 2) The Flying Spaghetti monster is timeless (Premise) 3) If an infinite amount of things exist, then everything would eventually be encompassed in that infinity. (From 1) 4) The Flying Spaghetti Monster would therefore exist then. (From 1 and 3) 5) The flying Spaghetti Monster Exists. (From 2 and 4) Side: Yes

How else can you explain or existence? We were obviously created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He even left his signature on us. The male reproductive system consists of a noodley appendage and two meatballs. The video below is a sighting of the FSM. It's TOTALLY legit and not CGI ;) Flying Spaghetti Monster in Germany

It seems that the Flying Sphagetti Monster has one definitive weakness, unlike earlier gods, things such as Pascal's Wager Cosmological Argument Ontological Arguments Telelogical Argument simply cannot be used due to the fact that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not fit into such terms as "maximally great being" or "That which none greater can be conceived" or "Timeless Entity" Thus, Since these are the most common of arguments for the supernatural, it follows that if there are no logical arguments for the existence of something, it does not exist.

This may be odd to say but what defines existence is the first question? Something that is tangible? Or something that is not tangible like a thought? Merriam Webster gives a sentence that i like: "Strange ideas existed in his mind." So you see, the word "exist" isn't just something tangible. And this is what i believe what you Srom meant by using this word. --------------------------------------- Ok for my answer: I do not know if the Flying Spaghetti Monster is tangible. But he does exist in minds IF he or she is ever thought of. If i go in the "thought" route, then the answer depends on the user his or herself ultimately....meaning, have the user ever put thought of the flying Spaghetti Monster? The user cannot speak for anybody else thoughts because simply, what if they are lying. Side: No

You may already know this but the flying spaghetti monster is essentially a joke. People have acted like it is a real religion out of humor. What happened was this guy whom was making a text book or something was requested to make one based on faith (creation). This man thought it was ridiculousto have schools teach religion so he invented the FSM. Well that is what I heard in school anyway, I'm not sure on that, however it s oftenly used to mock religion.
