I believe that the Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU), Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), et al., have been philosophically proven to be completely at variance with logical reasoning for the simple reason that they are self-determining relative to, and contingent on, the collection of interrelated information that is available to every IPU, FSM, et al., devotee.

Quite intuitive thought. Exactly the same as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and all other "religions"
The difference is that IPU, FSM, IFRA devotees "believe" it as a lark, as a joke, to show the ludicrous nature of "religion"

Yes, they are mockery, which, I believe that the creation of the IPU, and FSM should have been better elaborated to really make a case against religions, I mean, Christianity looks more consistent than the FSM for example. As of the FSM, the idea is so ridiculous itself, hence the mockery, that I don't think it can actually have the exact comparison to the christian God when it comes to the ontological position, with the pressumption that the existence of the christian God is an ontological problem.

The IPU, on the other hand, is less ridiculous as the deity is not a collection of food, however, I'm not quite certain about the intentional contradiction of its invisibility and the color pink, as it can lead to the question of wether there is a way to (such as in Christianity) "workaraund" the problem of that contradiction.

Haven't you heard of the argument for the existence of a supremely tasty meatball? And of course, a meatball which exists is tastier than a meatball which does not exist. Therefore, the FSM exists.

That is true.

Is that meatball cooked according to Anselm's recipe?
