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.
Pastariffic!

Though isn’t defacing currency illegal?

This rocks. US money is bland, that’s why they put god on it, so we could deface it.
Countries like Canada, our money is very nice looking, so we don’t put god on it.
I’d pay money for a stamp, but I’m broke (moth flies out of wallet)

I like the idea, but I wonder how effective at spreading the word it would be. You stamp the bills, spend them at the shop, the shop’s daily take is deposited in the bank, and the bank promptly shreds the bills to keep defaced tender out of circulation. Just a thought. Still like the idea though.

I’m curious how large this Flying Spaghetti Menace is. The Jesus hunt was OK but the guy turned out to be such a pussy that the end was more like putting him out of his misery than ridding the word of a dangerous character. This noodly guy looks like he might be more tough and I’m going to propose him for a future hunt. To do this, I need to estimate what kind of ammunition is best to deal with Him. 308? 50 BMG? Do I need to move up to RPG’s with thermobaric warheads? Your cooperation will be appreciated.

if you make a rally small one thta fits in the corner, then that’d be ok i suppose, not defacing as much as ammending to, and if they say that religous views cannot be expressed on money, then they should get wikipedia to change us from a ‘parody’ religion to a real riligion…

Make a stamp without a website. Sell for use on anything but money. Advertise it like this.
“New FSM Stamp! Use it on letters, use it on people, use it to mark all that the FSM created including midgets!!! Just do not under any circumstance use it to cover up “in God We trust” on U.S. bills. This is illegal and not endorsed by the FSM. Seriously do not do this!”

I have an “atheist money” stamp that I use, and while the money may eventually get destroyed, it is still frequently circulated a little before it finds its way to the bank.

I believe the legality of stamping money is covered on the Where’s George website. Here is the text!”
#####
Defacement of Currency
Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service. Their mailing address is:
United States Secret Service
950 H Street, NW
Washington, DC 20223.
The United States Secret Service web address is http://www.secretservice.gov.

I don’t claim a detailed legal knowledge on this subject, but I saw a documentary a few years ago about an artist who hand-drew replicas of US$ notes. The Treasury wanted to prosecute him, but since he never tried to pass them as currency, they failed. Instead he offered them to people as original art-works and asked them to set whatever value they wished on them.
Secondly, if we had “FSM Bucks” and exchanged them among willing participants, we’d be no more breaking the law than any other currency system. Small communities already do this: Swapping tokens for goods and services in a local economy.
Finally, couldn’t we have FSM chocolate money? Yum.

Then the question would be, is stamping the back of bills intent to render the money unfit for use. I’ve read where the larger stamp rejects money from automated machines, such as the U-Scan at the grocers. The smaller one doesn’t seem to bother the scanners.

I think that this would be an effective way to spread the word, at least temporarily.
-A person w/ stamps on the dollar and then spends it at the store.
-The cashier goes quickest through dollar bills and also $10s.
-If one pays for their order in the majority of 10’s and 1’s that will allow for the cashier not to call for change and have mainly stamped bills.
-Next customer gets stamped bills and spends them else where.
-The ONLY bills that go to the bank are 20s and higher. and sometimes 10s. Since most stores have to do a minimum 15,000 deposit for Armored Car deliveries.
—-Result—-Most stamped bills would NOT be in the bank or torn for defects.

If WE ALL acknowledge his conversion maybe he will too.

p.s. @ what you[Bill] said before about Catholicism having it all wrong with the eating of bread and wine; need I remind you that if you’re Christian but not Catholic your religion was pretty much made up by some horny pissed-off monarch a few hundred years ago. I mean, Catholicism (like most religions) may have some problems but shit, at least it wasn’t just made up in written history cause someone said-so. That’s pretty much like scientology being invented around 50 years ago.

Jacob… let me get this straight… you actually think there is someone so monumentally stupid that they would actually allow a satirical religion to govern and subsequently destroy their life? I mean, stupid enough to believe the evangelical church… possible, though it requires a pretty low IQ (or significant brainwashing), but everyone who says they follow pastafarianism do so because THEY GET THE JOKE, and treat it accordingly.
.
The reason we say RAmen, is that it is a PUN, a play on words. Ramen is the pasta, Amen is the christian term. Hence, RAmen is the deliberate combination to add to the satire. I rather pity you that you eat ramen everday, though. I mean, we worship pasta and we still manage some variety.
.
You can eat our god? Big woop. So can we. Hell, the catholics eat your god, so obviously by your logic there is something deficient with him. In fact, our god is meant to be eaten. Eating your god is a sin, but the church still does it…
.
Finally, before you call our religion crap and lies… please, PLEASE read your own bible. It actually says the world is 6000 years old. It has been proven that it isn’t.

Hey, I probably don’t get it! MONEY is green. Pasta can be green, can’t it? If people already worship MONEY and if there’s something on MONEY that says “In God We Trust” and if we run that brand with a beautiful icon representing the FSM bearing the clever slogan “In Pasta We Trust,” maybe people who worship MONEY and want to get more will start giving it to Pastfarians because praying to the FSM might somehow causeth them to prosper with more MONEY. Every time two or more of us gather together to commune with and consume the object of our worship (by which I mean Pasta, not MONEY) we can pass the plate and the adoring multitudes will give us MONEY too. Especially at church suppers.
Now to digress.
I get it (in my own feeble way) about the Pun of RAmen being about exotic Oriental Pasta and the traditional Judeo-Christian way of saying “the end,” but does it also have something to do with the great Egyptian Sun God, RA? How could this be just a coincidence?

Even though your angry quips are short (and seemingly pointless), once can easily see why you have trouble grasping the concept of the CoFSM. For example, you tell the collective posting public (on this topic) that all we do is sit in a dorm room and contemplate the meaning of macaroni. Without a confirmation of said claim, you tell us to stop before we fail college. Hmmm. You live in a small little world, don’t you? Just because you are in college at the moment, why would you think that everyone is in college? Is it too much for you to believe that most of us here already have our degrees? You are unable to see through the Venetian blinds shut tight on your mind. Until they are opened, you will continue to be spurned by rational human beings. To do so is your choice.

I didn’t prove anything because you never asked a serious question. I’ll be glad to answer the one you did ask (which I at first deemed rhetorical – silly me)
q.) What state are you in, are you even in college??
a.) I’ve had my BA for some time. If not for a young daughter, I would probably be well on my way to a MS if I hadn’t put it off. Also, I live in Kansas, where they just made Evolution Illegal (according to the Onion).

That is the only question you asked me.

Sorry again maxy,

I’d have a much better time answering your questions if you would use punctuation. For example, when you want someone to answer a question, you would usually use a question mark. It’s that squiggly “l” with a dot under it. It is located at the bottom right of your keyboard, and you can activate it by holding the shift key and pressing “/”. For more information, consult the English department at your school. See how easy that is? (note the use of the question mark – that was just an example – you don’t have to answer. I’ll just assume the answer is yes.)
.
Now, in regards to Francisco Redi, I am not familiar with the gentleman, but if Charles Darwin was not born until 1809, I find it hard to see how some one could have disproved his theory in 1668. Now if we’re talking about the disproval of spontaneous generation, I’m surprised that you’d bring that up. What, that according to Genesis:
.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.” On the first day God creates light and dark, day and night; on the second the “firmament” separating “the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament;” on the third, the waters under the firmament are gathered into one place, and “God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas,” and on the same day God creates “plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth.” On the fourth day God creates the sun, moon and stars, and sets them in the firmament; on the fifth day, fish and birds; and on the sixth, “the beasts of the earth according to their kinds.”
.
Now I may be grasping here, but this account sounds sort of spontaneous, and sort of like something out of nothing.
.
Now for the actual question maxy, If you stand by a source claiming it was scientifically proven that something cannot come from nothing, then how can you claim that God made the entire Earth and everything on it from nothing? (Note the question mark again – this time you can go ahead and answer.)

James I agree. I don’t necessarily believe in a divine figure, but there is proof of the Bible everywhere. I just recently read up on Ancient Egypt and there are written records of plagues on temple and tomb walls. Plagues that were the magnitude written in the Bible. It is true that there were swords and chariots found in the ocean. That isn’t easily argued. There is just cold hard evidence that Biblical accounts are true.

Good effort. That wasn’t the exact experiment, but it is close enough.
.
What Redi’s experiment demonstrated was that complex life does not spontaneously generate. The experiment in no way proves that at some point in the past, simple life didn’t spontaneously formed.
.
It is an interesting discussion, but keep in mind that the inability to demonstrate spontaneous generation of even simple life does not prove that it cannot occur. Maybe it doesn’t, but maybe we simply don’t know how yet. And remember, over billions of years, and on billions upon billions of planets, it only had to happen once for us to be here. I like those odds.

What we have here is a difference of understanding on what constitutes complex life. Bacteria is complex life. Not in comparison to humans, but bacteria are still highly complex organisms.
.
Redi’s experiment was indeed focussed on complex life. He observed the rotting of meat and hatching of maggots. That is complex life.
.
Simple life would be a self replicating organic molecule with the potential to mutate. Something which Redi would not even have knowledge of in 17th century.
.
Pasteur later did similar experiments with bacteria and yeast, but it is still complex life that was being tested.

the reason you compare spontaneous generation with evolution is simple. life had to come somewhere. that’s not what evolution is about. evolution is about how natural selection and how species change over time. i’ll let you do the research. go to wikipedia and type in ‘timeline of evolution’. it is very well documented and includes many facts that are supported by scientists. if that doesn’t show you how evolution is possible, then i know you’ll ignore the facts.

I assume from your posts that you are a Christian. Correct me if I am wrong. As stated earlier, I made the comparison to Jesus. We cannot see Jesus, yet we have pictures of him. As the story goes, the long-haired, kind-faced popular rendering of jesus was created by a painter (I do not know his name) who received divine inspiration from God. The pictures of the FSM on this website, are products of the divine inspiration given to Bobby Henderson. I don’t see the problem.

If the FSM wants, he can turn visible. Also, how do you know what your god looks like? Did he come to you and say that he was a big white bearded guy? if he did, it would be a rather disgusting vanity thing. I mean; world hunger, wars, diseases, religious fundamentalism… wouldn’t his time be better spent solving them then… oh, wait. the plauges and such.
The FSM doesn’t take time off unless he REALLY needs to. I mean, I don’t think he has yet impregnated any “virgins”.
as to the scientific formulae, people didn’t invent them. They discovered them. those formulae would work just as well before they were discovered as after. I think it would be a bit strange if ‘god’ invented scientific evidence that could so easily disprove him.
and by the way, gods were invented by humans. don’t believe me? ah well.
I figure christianity has a couple hundred more years before it is forgotten, just like all the other “true” religions. have fun in your knowledge that there is no evidence that can not be blindly ignored!

Bones in the sea, other stuff that might fit stories in the Bible? Sounds like seeing the face of Christ in a piece of toast to me. Ships went down frequently 2000 or 3000 years ago. Their technology was crude. Facts can be manipulated to support theories even though the evidence is circumstantial at best. I think I see Jesus reflecting off of the back of a stop sign.

Mind if I add my person commentary?

God created man. God created all the plants and animals, which would include the tree of knowledge and the serpent. The serpent coaxed Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge and so began the cycle of sin. For this, God punished Adam, Eve, and all their descendents.
.
Out of His love for man, God sent the Holy Ghost, which was actually God, but not exactly, to impregnate a virgin, Mary. Mary gave birth to Jesus, who was also God, but not exactly. Jesus was then crucified and resurrected to pay for our sins. Now all we need to do is to believe and all is forgiven.

Synopsis: God creates man. God creates sin. God tempts man. Man fails. God punishes man for being imperfect (apparently by design). God creates Jesus. God kills Jesus. All better now.

It has been debated very effectively and demostrated through social experiments and surveys that religion is not a better source of morality. Religious people can be moral, but so can atheists. Surveys say (in my best Richard Dawson voice) all other factors being equal, atheists are likely to be more honest and moral than their religious counterparts. Shocking but true.

Religion has held throughout the years, covering up secrets, and brainwashing cultures of the world. The church itself has done terrible things. The church has been directly responsible for murder, stealing, and the prosecution of members from various religions. Religion should not be taught as a science because who knows if it’s true. Blind faith is not enough for some. Science offers proof and people find comfort in knowing what they believe is absolutely true. Which is better: doing the right thing because you are afraid of the wrath of an omniscient being, or doing something because of your own moral belief. Personally I believe the latter of the two.

I don’t want to deface tons of bills with that big black stamp. It just seems too tacky and I don’t want FSM to be associated with being tacky. Perhaps the small red one that looks like the fsm to stamp over the word God would be good for many.’I’ wouldn’t buy that though, as I can already draw a little red FSM with a pen over god, and my parents really wouldn’t approve…( which usually doesn’t matter) but as I come from a family of mostly very religous people, I don’t want them to think I don’t believe in god lol… and the FSM stamp would be a give away.

What is the Pastafarian equivalent of ganja? My vast experience in the worship of Spaghetti would tempt me to say perhaps oregano, but I don’t want to risk offending the priesthood of pasta.
As a former (all thanks to the FSM for the virtue of recidivism) Pirate and enabler of Pirates, I must say that believers in the religion of Science are particularly easy prey and hardly worthy of a healthy wholesome ransacking. Nope, it’s the deity guys who seem to rack up the booty, but the MONEY worshipers make the best target.
Now for the horrible dilemma – there’s all this money looking to buy little stamps depicting His Noodleness in all his Magnificence, and this money has not yet been sanctified by that same likeness. Would it not be best if we could pass legislation (the new Congressional sheriff in town loves legislation) modifying the currency in an appropriate fashion? That way we would not have to sully our hands by touching the root of all evil.

@Jesus Christ (and all others who tried to prove evolution)
The “facts” you showed me mean absolutely nothing. Fossils, you’ve shown me bones of three foot tall humans with weird shaped skulls. Over time, man has…oh lets say…improved. We have better eye sight, we’re taller, we’re smarter and more civilized. Now show me the evidence of one different species changing into a completely different species. In case there are some of you that are a bit more challenged than others and try to use the lame excuse of primates mating with another species to create us, that doesn’t work. It’s like trying to mate a horse and a donkey,they create a mule, but the mule is now sterile and can never reproduce or help reproduce. So unless you want to try explaining to me that we came from animals where that doesn’t apply, like dogs, I’m not thinking so. Also, to you college attending people and you oh so clever graduates, If you’re half as smart as you’ve been making yourself, you’ll know about the simple laws of thermodynamics.These laws tell us that energy is always decreasing, mountains are becoming short and dull, our very sun is slowly going out, you get the idea. The point is, things aren’t “evolving” if anything, we’re declining in everything. Knowing that, tell me this, do you know any man who knows everything? I didn’t think so. So in other words, you’re saying that you trust the hypothetical guesses given to us by some heap of metal with elctricity run through it? (for those of you who might be too stupid to know what I’m talking about…computers)Humans are imperfect by nature, therfore, it is virtually impossible for us to ever design or create something that is perfect.

i gave you evidence of evolution and you just say it’s all fake. the problem is that i’ll give evidence that profesionals of science have approved of, and you’ll just say it’s fake. and the 2nd second law of thermodynamics does not disprove evolution at all. the point is you’ll never seem to understand evolution. evolution has evidence, you just don’t accept it. the scientific community has accepted evolution because it can be tested, makes a hypothesis, and it does explain our actual origins. just because we won’t find every transitional fossil does not mean evolution is false. the fact we have transitional fossils shows that evolution has happened. why are simple science facts so hard to accept.
.
this is the lord jesus christ speaking. listen to my words of wisdom, “thou shalt not resort to stupidity. just because thou don’t like evolution doth not make it false. also, thou shall meet thy friend the flying spaghetti monster. if thou obey thy FSM, you will have beer volcanoes and strippers. what’s better than that”

The veryin thing that you were describing was evolution. HUMANS IMPROVING. We as a species evolve to increase our chances of survivability in our environment. Oh and for everyone we didn’t evolve from apes. Apes and humans share a common ancestory. (Homo Hablis) Chimpanzee DNA matches human DNA by 96.6% or more. There is a very small difference, but the difference makes all the difference. Wow that was cool. Anyway that small bit of DNA where we differ controls our brain development, looks, behavior, and much, much more. Humans have evolved. There is proof that snakes once had legs. Over time the snakes adapted to better suit there environment. A skeleton of a snake still has small, tiny appendages from which its legs were located. The snake didn’t lose its legs because of disuse, but rather because the legless shape better increased its chances of survivabilty for the species. These changes are not instantaneous. There is also proof that humans, or Homo Sapien Sapiens, have evolved in the last 40 years. Kids today have better use of their thumb than their older parents or grandparents. Evolution is true, but who is to say God didn’t have a hand in the evolution of humans. God is supposedly very powerful he would certainly be capable of making humans evolve. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN A FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER. The thought of a God like that is absurd, even childish. I do not want to bash your religion too much, but your god was created from the whimsical ideas of a never-had-a-girlfriend, lives in his parents basement, hasn’t ever been to a party or social event, loser, smart, twenty-five year old boy. A twenty-five year old is hardly well versed enough to create a legitamite god. Don’t throw the 10 million followers thing at me because I already know. Those ten million followers are crazy for thinking A flying Carbohydrate created the world. Satire I get it you don’t need to refresh my memory.

Welcome back, James.
.
So, fossil evidence does not convince you? Fair enough. I won’t debate that with you. I’m am neither a biologist nor paleontologist.
.
I will address your thermodynamics statement. Creationists love to throw this one out, but it only demonstrates a lack of understanding of the laws of thermodynamics
.
1st law: “The increase in the internal energy of a thermodynamic system is equal to the amount of heat energy added to the system minus the work done by the system on the surroundings.”
.
2nd law: “The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.”
.
There are others, but these are the two that apply to this discussion.
.
You write, “These laws tell us that energy is always decreasing, mountains are becoming short and dull, our very sun is slowly going out, you get the idea.”
.
Energy is not decreasing. It is becoming more dispersed. It is an important distinction.
.
The laws of thermodynamics apply to closed systems. The Earth is not a closed system. Energy from the Sun is constantly added.
.
Some mountains are becoming shorter through erosion. Others are growing. http://www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/exhibits/journeys/english/mountain_2_1a.html
.
None of this refutes the possibility of life evolving naturally in a localized system, so what is your point?

i wasn’t saying the FSM was real. i was just showing some satire. i’m not trying to convince anyone that the FSM exist. i just want people to open their eyes and accept evolution. for the best part, if you’re religious, there’s something called theistic evolution. that’s basically just saying that evolution is true (which it is) and saying that maybe it was god that was responsible for it. i know that you accept, but people like james don’t seem to get evolution.

MONSTER POST
.
“…was trying to prove to me that evolution has evidence”
.
Yep. It does.
.
Observed on the micro scale, with viral and bacterial resistance to antibodies.
.
Now, this should be satisfactory, as when you get right down to it, macro and micro evolution are the same mechanism, but here is some other stuff.
.
We effectively have a complete evolutionary record for the horse including transitory fossils, which kinda helps support macro.
.
On top of that, we have WITHIN HUMAN EXISTANCE the splitting of one species into two or more that cannot interbreed. This is, quite simply, the domestication of the canine. If you have ever seen a chihuaha try to mount a great dane, or the reverse, you’ll realise it doesn’t work. They cannot interbreed without technological assistance.
.
To someone such as myself, without a strong background in the clinical definitions of species, that seems satisfactory.
.
We compare this to the two most common ideas put forward by, let us say, the more literal variety of the faithful;
ID and Creationism.
.
Okay, let us argue creationism first. It is nice and easy to disprove.
.
Creationists argue for either a 6000 or 12000 year old earth, which aside from contradicting a large amount of fossil evidence also would require the rewriting of some fundamental laws of physics.
.
You see, during my university studies, I have had the good fortune of getting a part time job operating a rather large mass spectrometer.
We use it to analyse the ratios of uranium isotopes to their lead decay (or thorium-lead ratios) products in a variety of minerals, primarily zircons. By comparing the various ratios, it is possible to form a plot that directly shows the age of the rocks.
I personally have dated rocks well over a billion years old.
Colleagues have dated 4 billion year old rocks (nearly the age of the Earth).
There are examples of the machine being used to date rocks almost 7 billion years old (meteorites in case you were wondering)
.
So, either the creationists are wrong, and the universe is AT least 7 billion years old (without resorting to any branch of science with even the least controversy), or somehow, the decay rates for various isotopes of Uranium and Thorium have all changed, AT EXACTLY THE SAME RATIO to the current levels, when all the observations and theory we have indicate that is impossible.
.
The timeframe of creationism is wrong. This leads to the assumption that the theory is wrong. In addition, the evidence of the fossil record, would tend towards disproving the creationistic view point. Considering the high regard with which these are held in the scientific community, I would think there is good reason to doubt creationism.
.
Then we get to ID. Now, we have to use a philosophical argument here, because that is the only differentiation between evolution and ID; the untestable extra variable.
.
From Occam’s razor alone, we would disregard the theory, assuming they where equally valid (they are not, as you can make verifiable predictions with evolution, you cannot with ID), that is more complicated. ID relies on the evolutionary mechanism, with a divine escape clause tacked on.
.
Even if it somehow passed this, we would still have the question of why.
.
What sort of loving god would create a strain of tuberculosis that is resitant to antibiotics, then allow it to infect and kill pious innocents?
It happens in Russia.
.
What sort of just god allows an incurable HIV virus to be passed from a raped mother to her unborn child?
It happens in Darfur.
.
What would be the motivation of any other being that might decide to play with all evolution on earth, from the microbial to the mammalian? What would possess them to waste billions of years doing it? HOW do they do it?
.
Until you can DEFINATIVELY answer those questions, Intelligent Design is a pointless theory, as we have a better than can explain the evidence in the testable domain.
.
.

Now lets see how many posts came while I wrote that.

Not all religions are a joke. Most religions have logical reason and some proof supporting them. FSM does not. There is no proof that FSM ever exsisted. There is proof that Jesus could have exsisted.

‘There is proof that Jesus could have exsisted. There is also proof that stories in the Bible are true.’

Yes. And there’s very good proof that pasta exists and that there used to be more pirates (proper pirates, mind) than there are today. Christianity is not Jesusianity. The existence of Jesus is not the point – the idea that he was The Christ, God Incarnate, is. There’s no more proof of that than there is of spaghetti existing as a flying, usually invisible, omnipotent FSM.
.
Pastafarianism has very similar logic to the ‘most religions’ you’re on about. It has a few logical(ish) links to the real world and then an internal logic of its own – as well as a lot of stuff that is not logic, but that looks a bit like it if you are very credulous, predisposed to believe, or a bit dense.

Either way it does not matter. If god is the creator of all, then he created both the serpent and Satan. Either way, God is the ultimate origin of the temptation in Genesis.

And archaeologists have found chariots and military equipment at the bottom of the sea. A sign that the water did part.

God allows satan to tempt us in the first place, but only enough so that we have a chance of pasing his “test”
.
The object of this test is to see if we love him enough
.
Since God is omniscient he must already know the answer and what we will do. Yet he torments us nonetheless.
.
Therefore we are tormented in order to find an answer he already knows but won’t share! the sadistic bastard…

if this is his attitude then he can get stuffed, tormenting otherwise innocent people for his pleasure is sick.
