Because of its popularity and exposure, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is often used as a contemporary version of Russell's teapot—an argument that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon those who make unfalsifiable claims, not on those who reject them.
Zbog svoje popularnosti i eksponiranosti Leteće Špagetno Čudovište često se rabi kao suvremena verzija Russellova čajnika – argument po kojem filozofsko breme dokazivanja leži na onome tko izriče neopovrgljive tvrdnje, a ne na onome tko ih odbacuje.
