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.
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

@Dan,
Your more finished stamp idea for US money is very fine. I’d buy one.
.
In keeping with our status as the true religion, I think we should put the stamp over the great seal of the US to show that we are a Pastafarian nation, and I vote for ‘One Nation, Under Pasta’ for our slogan.
.
Then, like the noodles of our great god, the many strands of our individual lives would entangle and mesh into a great and united Pastafarian unity.

I suppose the ‘viral’ part might hold true for lots of inflexible ideologies, but fundamentalist religion seems to be the worst. It’s very noticeable when talking or posting to fanatics, and it’s most evident in the more lucid posts, (I usually attribute the ‘u fag U wil bern in hel god luvs you!!!!!’ posts to all around abysmal ignorance and maybe stupidity, or to extreme youth) where the fanatic makes fairly well thought out arguments based on delusion, and can’t seem to think beyond the bounds of the delusion. An example of this might be the ‘Don’t you trust god to write an infallible book’ argument.
.
In personal interaction, the type of fanatic I find the most disturbing is the clear eyed ‘visionary’ with a surety that I’ve only found in hallucinogenic drugs. The difference being that with the drugs, if you look back on your certain knowledge a few hours later, you can get a good laugh.
@BR: It looks like you have a pretty big operation there. I didn’t even know you could make alcoholic ginger beer.
.
My grandmother made beer with a variety of mixed grains. She liked her beer very heavy and only used a cheese-cloth for a filter. When I was a kid I’d help her bottle it in 100 bottle batches. I didn’t like it at all, but she wasn’t making it to MY taste.
.
Do you need a still for the gin? I knew gin was relatively easy to make, but I never knew anyone who made it.

“Very nice work. By the way, I’ve been wanting to ask you if you are the ‘Mr. Pessimistic’ Nick. Are you?”
.
Not that I’m aware of! Of course after watching “Fight Club” I don’t take anything for granted! So I could be. Who is that anyway?
@Dan
“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.”
.
Thats a frickin great Idea! Just the vocano though, we gotta be one nation under pasta.

“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.”

Dude, can I come live with you? Or at least be your apprentice or desciple for a while!
Wicked cool!

What the hell happened to your other oar?
I’d totally buy one.
@Violet_DaGrinder
do you mean the money stamp or one of oarless marc’s oars?
I really hope that they will supply all 3 types. of the stamps, that is. ;-)
@Nick the Infidel;
‘Mr. Pessimistic’ is one of my pals from the broader atheist community on the web. I’ve since reconnected with him. You can rest easy, he isn’t your alternate personality. At least I don’t think he is. I’m not sure how we could know, because in Project Mayhem, we have no names.
I don’t want one of Mark’s oars, ’cause I know where he loses them.
“I’m not sure how we could know, because in Project Mayhem, we have no names.”

That is all except for Robert Paulsen!

C’mon man, I’m eating here, damn, you guys…………………..
“What the hell happened to your other oar?”
Aye, matie, it was a fierce battle, I tell ye. Oars to the left of me, oars to the right, yet here I am, stuck in the middle with thee. Me cutlass was at twelve o’clock attention and I swung with a mighty blow. Aaaaaarh! Missed the swarthy bloke on the farst swing. But, on the second I got ‘em square between his beady eyes. Then I noticed that my remaining oar was buried deep, deep within the slimy bastard. T’was sucking me further and further down! Wot is a good pirate ta do? That is when I pulled me trusty Swiss army knife out and cut, cut, cut meself loose of that oar. I let go of that oar that bound me to this mortal flesh. Arrrrrrrh!
For anyone who has said that this is anti-patriotic.. I believe you are being ignorant in that statement. For one, our country is not represented by Christianity or a phrase such as “IN GOD WE TRUST”. So, in no way would having a dispute about the religious aspect of our U.S. currency show anti-patriotic motives. While I’m sure people on this forum may be anti-patriotic, the message being sent by this is not intended to be against our country. If you have a problem with America itself, then leave, move to where ever your heart desires, but the only problem I have.. is with our government and the people in control of our government. We have the capabilities to run beautifully, yet we fail miserably to stay true to our “unalienable rights”. Fuck this religious bullshit on our money, I’m surprised this hasn’t been changed yet. It damages my pride to know I use something involving a religion I have never taken a part in and have never thought to be true. Like Twain said, “Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.” and our government sure as fuck doesn’t deserve anything, not even a nod or a wave.
