Nick Jones came up with this FSM money stamp. It covers up “In God We Trust” and replaces it with “In Pasta We Trust”. I like it.
Closeup: 
BoingBoing had a post a while ago showing a tiny stamp to strike out the word “God” from paper money:
Which prompted Kim Moser to suggest the following FSM stamp:
Here’s what I want to know: how many people would be interested in a money stamp? We could have them made if there’s enough interest.
What are they putting in the water in Virginia? Here guys try some of the Kool-Aid instead. Good fer what ails ya!

Hmmmm? Go ahead, eat it and enjoy! We do!
I say we make a stamp to replace the crazy one eyed pyramid on the back of our $1 bills with a Beer Volcano. :) That would make me very happy. Maybe then we could all be “One Nation Under Beer” Just a thought.
Oh snap I forgot’

Nice one, Dan! I like the Beer Volcano idea. “One Nation Under Beer”. (No offense to the beer intollerant or underage pirates aboard this fine vessel.) May heaven await you with a full pint and a voluptuos lapdance.

one nation under beer, now that sounds good. lets hope that will mean i can buy alcohol on sunday
In reverence to the FSM, I have been making my own beer with an aim of one day making some sort of volcano.

My attempts at making strippers with the aim of one day automating the process have been less successful.
BR, that is an impressive collection of bottles (in the process of secondary fermentation, it appears). What kind of beer are you making?
You’re right farseer, they have now finished secondary fermentation, have cleared and are ready to drink. The first crate in view is bitter, the next in view is a stronger, darker Scottish style of ale, the next 2 crates and the demijohn are urrrm, wine (now much depleted after works Christmas party) and the last one is cider and high alcohol ginger beer. Since taking that photo I’ve made another 37 bottles of Irish stout which are in secondary fermentation now. The 2 large bottles on their sides are sloe gin.

What is the CoFSMs’ view on non-beer alcohol?
That’s a great mix; it looks like you’ve got a good thing going. May his Noodly Appendage stoke your brewery fires into a veritable volcano.

@Farseer:
‘I believe that Christianity is a myth. In order to explain what they don’t understand, humans create mythology. Because the origins of our universe are uncertain and the inevitability of death is both mysterious and terrifying, the Christian myth is embraced by many for it seems to hold answers to these unknowns.’
.
Religion is such a complex, all encompassing type of human activity. I think you’re absolutely right about the christian mythology. It’s a combination of creation myths, folk tales, tall-tale ‘fairy stories’, priestly propaganda, cultural rules, morality tales and a little history. All of these elements (except the priestly propaganda) were probably useful to the people living thousands of years ago.
.
But of course, the christianity that is very loosely based on the book is a living culture, and fundamentalist culture, more so than most, is viral: It attacks a living system and transforms it into a copy of itself. Sometimes I think that the failure of our culture to achieve all that we might is because we have a few chronic illnesses, religion being one of the worst. If we weren’t sick, we might be living in peace and harmony and have colonies on the moon.
Beastly Rich,

You made an old pirate cry. I am so happy to see that you did NOT make a pilsner! Cheers to you!

“Viral” is a great term. I believe as you do that the “failure of our culture to achieve all that we might is because we have a few chronic illnesses, religion being one of the worst.” That was very well put. For example, the European Middle Ages, in my opinion, are a great example of how organized religion all but shut down scientific and cultural growth. At that time, the “virus” sought out and crushed many of those who wished to question the nature of the world and thereby further humanity.
.
Well put.

Wow, that is really cool. I’ve never had ginger beer. Sloe gin (at least when mixed with orange soda as a teenager) is nasty stuff.
The Church is funded entirely by your purchases of FSM merchandise. Thank you for your support.
An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
