Invisible Pink Unicorn

It has become popular on atheist websites and online discussion forums to feign belief in the Invisible Pink Unicorn both for the sake of humor and to point out a logical flaw of theistic belief. These professions of faith intend to demonstrate the difficulty of refuting avowals of belief in phenomena outside human perception.

History

The IPU seems to have become notable primarily through online culture: in addition to alt.atheism, where IPU still frequently comes up in discussions, there are now a number of web sites dedicated to her. The earliest known written reference to the IPU was on July 7, 1990 on the Usenet discussion group alt.atheism. Other sources concerning IPU state that she was “revealed to us” on alt.atheism.

The concept was further developed by a group of college students from 1994 to 1995 on the ISCA Telnet-based BBS. The students created a manifesto that detailed a nonsensical (yet internally consistent) religion based on a multitude of invisible pink unicorns. It is from this document that the most famous quotation concerning IPUs originated:

“Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can’t see them.” — Steve Eley

Eley’s manifesto also spelled out the more whimsical articles of faith concerning IPUs, such as a fondness for raisin bread (which symbolizes the expanding universe) and the association with lost socks. Eley dubbed himself the “Chief Advocate and Spokesguy” of the religion, naming a succession of other High Priests and Priestesses (HPs), in accordance with a stated theory that the one who writes the gospels is the one with all the real power in any religion, and is never the one martyred.^{[citation needed]} The first of these HPs was Natalie Overstreet, who popularized the above quotation in her Usenet sig.

In 1996 a similar concept—a unicorn that no one can see—was adapted as a teaching device at Camp Quest, the first free-thought summer camp for kids established in the United States, by Dr. L. Wilson. As reported years later in the July 21, 2006 Cincinnati Enquirer, “Campers must try to prove that imaginary unicorns—as a metaphor for God—don’t exist.” Richard Dawkins alluded to unicorns in this connection in his 2006 book The God Delusion, writing that “Russell’s teapot, of course, stands for an infinite number of things whose existence is conceivable and cannot be disproved. [...] A philosophical favorite is the invisible, intangible, inaudible unicorn.”

By 2007, the IPU had gained underground ubiquity as a symbol of atheism.

The Primitive History

Chapter 1

Creation of Heaven and Earth

In the beginning reality created the heavens and the earth; 2 what was was, what was not was not; darkness covered what light did not, and what was neither light, nor dark was Her, the Pink Unicorn.

Creation of light and Firmament

3 Unicorn said, “Let the everything exist in my likeness,” and everything was pink, because it was always so. Unicorn saw that the pink was good. 4 Unicorn separated the pink from the light and the darkness, 5 calling the light Instruction and the darkness Digestion, and the pink, the time that exists as all time, Creation. And there was seemingly evening and morning, the first day to awareness, but the pink was always.

6 Then Unicorn said, “Let laws act upon the earth, let the pink seep into the grounds, let the laws act on the matter, and create the waters” And so it was, because the laws were Hers. 7 Unicorn watched the pinkness above the grounds, and called the pinkness Heaven. The laws acted upon the heavens, because the laws were Hers, and the laws were Pink. And there was seemingly evening and morning on the grounds of earth, the second day towards the awareness of Her, but the pink was always.

The earth made fruitful

9 Then Unicorn said, “Let the waters and the dry land act in accordance to the laws.” And so it was and was always, because the laws were Hers, and they were Pink. 10 Unicorn called one gathering of obeying waters and land the Earth. And Unicorn saw that it was good. 11 Then Unicorn said, “Let my second law, the law of Persistence, act upon these waters and this dry land, and let what persist, persist” And so it was. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation; every kind of seed-bearing plant and all kinds of trees that bear fruit containing their seed. And She was surprised and delighted that the persisters grew and multiplied. Unicorn saw that is was good. 13 And there was seemingly evening and morning, many many times, the third day towards awareness of Her, but the Pink was always.

Creation of Sun, moon, and stars

14 And Unicorn said, “Let my first law, the law of Physics, allow energy to interact with matter. Let the vegetation of the earth use the energy because everything is one and everything is bound by the pinkness. And let therefor energy to travel from the stars to this earth, because the earth is not a closed system, only the everything is closed, and even the pink is not outside the everything, and thus neither am I.” So it was. 17 Unicorn allowed two great lights of energy to fall upon the earth, the greater energy to motivate Instruction, the smaller one to ease digestion and prevent accidental destruction, 18 and the smaller lights, to urge understanding, the only path towards creation, during the time that exists as all time, the Pink. Unicorn saw that is was good. 19 And there was seemingly evening and morning, the fourth long day towards awareness of Her, but the pink was always.

Creation of fish and fowl

Then Unicorn said, “Let the second law, the law of persistence continue to act upon the persisters. And let persistence choose the persisters with will for persisting, and let this create the winged creatures to fly below the heavens” And so it was. 21 Persistence created all kinds of persisters, and She was surprised that they moved. And she was surprised again when one life persisted my destroying another, but She saw that is was good. The pinkness created a circle, and the destruction of one was the creation of another.

Creation of animals

Unicorn said, “Let persistence continue again to act upon the new persisters, the Life, which She decreed was different than the ground and the light, for what was the ground and the light seemed always to be, and yet what was the Life was new and different and she recognized this difference, and called this difference Life. And She saw that Life was good, and that persistence created oneness, and mimiced the Pink. And she saw that all was pink and that Life was Pink. 25 Persistence made all kinds of wild beasts, every kind of reptile and mammal, and every kind of creature crawling on the ground. And Persistence destroyed many many of the creatures, and Unicorn saw that it was in accordance with the Law and that the pinkness prevailed.

Creation of Man

Unicorn was sad that persistence destroyed many many creatures, so She thought for many many seeming evenings and mornings. She looked towards Instruction, she Digested, and finally she found the understanding in the pinkness that was there always, and allowed Persistence to create a creation with the ability to have understanding of the Pinkness, and understanding of her pinkness. Persistence created intelligence in man, in her image, so that she would not be sad. She created creatures in her image with intelligence so that all would not have to follow Persistence. She created altruism out of her own pinkness for the man, but she also persisted, and was ruled by the laws, although they were her laws, because nothing exists without them. Thus man gained an ability to use instruction, to digest, and to step towards the awareness that She had such that he would eventually create himself.

Unicorn’s gifts to Her Creatures

28 Unicorn watched as persistence acted on her Life, and she called this persistence evolution. 29 Then Unicorn looked to man and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and use your intelligence to allow more to persist than would persist without you. Become a part of persistence as the pinkness degrees you to, and make me happy” Unicorn also said, ” See, I give you every seed-bearing plant. Watch them and help them persist, and you too will persist. 30 To every wild animal of the earth, to every bird in the air, and to every creature that crawls on the earth and has the breadth of life, I give the green plants to help thee persist, and thy bodies will help the green plants. 31 “Unicorn saw that all that was made was very good, and there was seemingly the evening and the morning, the sixth day toward awareness of Her, but the pink was always.

The New Revised Reformed Amalgamated Vegnautic* Standard Creed:

We believe in One Unicorn, The Pink, The Invisible. Creator of Uncertainty, Keeper of Chaos, our Maker, revealed unto us in the alt.atheist usenet forum. She that Raptures Socks, She will smite those that mock Her brethren. When heathens partake in baloney, she invites her loyal servants to join the feast. We shall eat our fill, yea every belly shall be full with pure, untarnished, unadulterated, suffer-free pizza. Her revelations show us the folly of all religions, our personal insignificance, the understanding of existence, and the importance of 42. Spread Her Word.
