The Hunger Artists Theatre Company in Fullerton, California, is putting on the first ever Flying Spaghetti Monster Holiday Pageant this year, December 1 – 17, 2006.
An original comedy, just in time for Christmas, that celebrates the twisted and hilarious history of the new religious phenomenon, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.
More details are available at the Hunger Artists website here. You can reserve your tickets online.

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

I must assume by the second picture that there is a fair amount of melon squeezin’ in this, my newest religion. Dude looks like he either just fondled or is finta. The director(Spielberg?) yelled action but this thespian needs no motivational proddin’. I wanna small part in the next production, if that’s what they call her. Long as her last name ain’t Hender-bob :-)

Btw, wonder if we could persuade the troop to go touring? Maybe send ‘em through the bible belt for a bit of a counterstrike against creationism.

As an actor, I’m overjoyed. As a Pastafarian, I’m overwhelmed by the love that He is spreading through His Noodly Appendage. What better way to proselytize than through the majesty of dramatic art!
Ohh, I wish many blessings from Our Noodly Saviour upon the Hunger Artists Theatre Company, and I pray to Him that He will send me a pirate ship so that I may tack against the wind from Toronto all the way to the mystical, sun-soaked shores of California.

Darn! Why do you have to be doing this so far away from me. We need a UK tour!!! Then us brits can have the fun of watching Christian Voice coming out to protest against us. Yes we have Fundis who go out and protest as well, though ours are really just a bit pathetic.

If you can get them to go on tour in America, I’m sure it wouldn’t take too much persuading to get them to cross the Atlantic, and they’ll get to Ireland first, probably won’t have religious protests to laugh about after, but then, there is always the sacred beer drinking to celebrate…

If they want sacred beer drinking then York is only a short drive from Tadcaster and numerous breweries. York also has it’s own brewery.
I do hope I’m not counted as some sort of heretic for ot being that fond of beer. I prefer my alcohol without all the extra water. Whiskey, Vodka, Tequila and Rum are my favourite tipples.

tell me about it. the other week i encountered some guy not far from my university with a microphone, shouting that the earth is going to hell and you’d better get saved soon. a while before that there was some homeless guy with a bilboard proclaiming “Sex Before Marriage = Hell After Death”.
.
but yeah, compared to the americans, our fundies are a bit pathetic. we could definitely use an FSM performing arts tour over here, though.

Yeah, I think they would make many converts to the wholey pasta.
As much as some fundis are trying in this country the attitude to religion, just like the one to politicians, is so cynical that I doubt that they are ever going to manage much in the way of popularity here. They’ll just be a bunch of loud mouths who have to bully people to get people to do what they want.
Have you followed the BA cross thing? How long before the church feels a backlash from basically having said “Do what we want or we’re going to hurt your business”?
The church in this country lost my respect a very long time ago. As mentioned, I live in York and the Minster here is in continious need of repair and they are always asking for more money. What they fail to mention is that the rates for a lot of the shops in York don’t go to the council, but directly to the Minster and those rates are some of the highest shop rates of any in the country. The CoE is also one of the biggest land owners in the country and has no problem with bullying smaller land owners.

PS, Bobby, if your still there somewhere, I don’t know if you saw the story I wrote on the ‘religion is lame’ thread but I was wondering if you mind that sort of thing on your site, (as it takes up a lot of room and some may consider it spam), and if it would be OK to continue it and include the FSM, as it was my main inspiration? -Penne

If we are really members of a true religion, shouldn’t we take a more genuinely religious view of events like these.
Picket the theatre; threaten death and mutilation to anyone taking his Noodly name in vain; abuse the audience; demand compensation for our grief and special laws to protect us from furtherpastaphobic outrages.
Just a start but I’m sure it would give us more more crdibility in the wider faith community

I would also like to hear if anyone eles would like me to continue the story and save the libraians. I think it would have to be on a different(shorter) thread though, because the other one takes so long to load as it is, and as I said before, it’s a long story.

Wouldn’t our homeland be the sea? Being pirates and all, maybe a nice tropical island with lots of hidden landing spots…

I was raised LDS (mormon), and that last picture of Joseph Smith is, quite possibly, the funniest thing I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Unfortunately for the mormons, Joseph ran away right before he was touched.

Ye know, the thing I remember most about Christmas last year was how much it SUCKED because o’ the fuss “Christians” were making over the whole “happy holdays/Merry christmas” thing, where they were upset that stores were sayin’ Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. I’ll be passin’ the link to this preview around this year as a big ole piratey middle-finger to them what ruined me holidays. ARRR!

As the name suggests, a monster made of pasta, that flies.
.
He likes beer, strippers, pirates, and (if you are an Alfredoist) ninjas.
.
He made the world, starting with trees, a mountain and a midgit (spelling intentional), but was a little drunk at the time, and so ever since the universe has been really screwy.
.
What we think is gravity is actually his noodley appendages holding us down, and when we die, he takes us to a heaven filled with beer volcanoes, and a stripper factory.
