Somewhere at 30,000 feet above sea level, USA – A TikTok video, showing an in-flight impromptu concert of sorts, has gone viral. Some groups are praising the group of worshippers for their bravado, while others are speaking out against them, saying it’s a form of entitlement and privilege.
We caught up with James Thompson, the guitarist from the video, who had this to say:
“We just felt the spirit that day, and wanted to show everyone on the flight what they are missing out on. We know we have the truth, so why wouldn’t we want to share that with the world? This is just the first of many to come. In no time, you’ll be hearing more about the salvation that comes from our God.”
The God Thompson is talking about is colloquially known as “The Flying Spaghetti Monster.” The song from the viral video is “On Top of Spaghetti,” originally written by folk singer Tom Glazer.
Glazer passed away in 2003, so we can only speculate as to whether or not he would approve of his song being used to spread the gospel of the Pastafarians, as they are sometimes known by. Given his history of writing an array of popular children’s songs, we would guess not.
We will have to wait and see if and when Thompson or other Pastafarians decide to break into a flash mob worship concert or not, but we will be sure to break the news if and when they do. Stay tuned for more on this strange story.
