I had to write you and tell you about the event we had here at my university (East Carolina University) last night. We had a screening of the new hit documentary “Flock of Dodos: The Intelligent Design / Evolution Circus” by Harvard-trained biologist-turned-filmmaker Randy Olson. Afterwards, there was a panel discussion that included Randy Olson, and faculty from biology, anthropology, geology(UNCW), and religios studies. Obviously, I felt that it was my duty to show up in full pirate regalia and hand out some propaganda.
It went really great! Our 750 seat theater was packed to the hilt. I met many fellow pastafarians, and think I converted quite a few more. When I asked an FSM based question of the panel, it was met with numerous rounds of applause and laughter. Afterwards some of the panelists, students, and faculty all went out for a beer. I countinued my evangelizing at the bar, and think I made a few more converts. I have to say that it was a great day for FSM!
I am attaching photos of my costume and me handing out brochures. Theres a photo with Randy Olson, our moderator Dr. Joe Luczkovich, and myself. Finally, I am including a photo of a random drunk girl molesting our noodly creator in a less than holy manner (I think he actually enjoyed it!)
The film was really great and hilarious. I definitely think pastafarians will enjoy it! The trailer can be viewed here: http://www.flockofdodos.com/ and you can see if there will be a screening near you. There will be screenings all over the country in the next month for Darwin Day. I would definitely reccomend everyone try and make it out to a screening, and don’t forget your pirate regalia!
Thanks Again,
Nick Jones
Praise be upon you brother Nick. You have truly been blessed by His Noodly Appendage.
RAmen
Yay! Well done Nick!
Thank for the link - any idea if this is coming to the UK?
Arrr avast ye matey. Great work for his noodliness.
[Doffs Pirate hat and bows very low making flourish with hand*]
Also, the shoulder mounted FSM is absolutely fantastic.
Long may his noodly appendage touch you.
RAmen.
* - why isn’t there an emoticon for that?
it seems you had a quick shave fellow pastafarian. In the first picture you have a modest moustache but in the fourth you have but a goatee. Maybe you were helped along the way with some grog?
RAmen
@booty: WOO! another british pastafarian! avast there, whence be thou coming from? England or Wales or Scotland or Ireland. avast!
Your yurt spreads goodness across the land, brother! The FSM will surely grant you a larger cup to drink your beer from in the afterlife!

@Eggy
You’re right!(for whatever it’s worth)
RAmen
May the FSM bring you an abundance of loot and may all your yurts stay warm in the winter(brr! they can get cold!)
(that is the coolest signature) For all of you who don’t know what a yurt is, here’s this friendly link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurt
Go to it, and while I’m at the linking biz here’s Google Mongolia: www.google.mn
I know, I don’t get me either, oh well, feel free to be creeped out!(most people are)
Excelent work!!! I hope to be doing the same when this movie comes to my town!
Eggy,
His noodles have touched many in this small island.
I hail from britain.
The great seafarin nation we are has always created the finest pirates (Yaar, Yaar).
Excellent work spreading his noodliness message,just one minor suggestion mattey..the holy robes are a religious outfit and not a costume with all due respect.RAmen
I bet the temperature is falling in East Carolina after such a fantasic outing.
Nick, you surely will be BLESSED by the FSM for introducing Pastafarianism to so many potential converts. And that sounded like a really fun evening :) Good costume, and good job!!
@ Eggy - I am in Nottingham, home of Robin Hood, a frustrated pirate if ever there was one! :)
I was hoping more people were headed to the bar; you mentioned the 750 people in the movie, and that dropped to maybe 200-300 for the discussion panel afterwards, but it ended up being half the discussion panel, you, and me at the bar. :’(
I have a 2-page writeup I did on the event for my anthropology class if I can find a way to contact people other than through public comments here…
Arrr mayty! That be some mighy fine usin’ of yr noodle.
@Booty– No I don’t know if it will come to the UK. I think it is set to air on showtime in march, and will go to DVD sometime after that.
.
@Eggy– Arrrrrr me lousy moustache did go the way of the dodo.
.
@Third Eye Patch– “Excelent work!!! I hope to be doing the same when this movie comes to my town!” — Please do! The director would love that. Blessed be ye!
.
@Captain Noodulous Silicate TBHNA– “I bet the temperature is falling in East Carolina after such a fantasic outing.” — Ironically we did get the first cold snap of the sason that evening. It dropped like 25 degrees! Also the mascott for ECU IS the Pirate. Many thought I was just representing ECU Pirates. When I asked my question I told of the holiness of pirates, and informed all the pirates in the audience that they were holy in the eyestalks of the lord.
.
@Arthur– I’ll email that photo to you. I’d also like to read your writeup, so shoot that back to me. Did you read the crappy article the school newpaper wrote? I went to the comments section and rheemed em out over it.
Regarding the local weather here; I wish I had a screenshot for this, but you’ll have to take my word. The movie and subsequent conversions were on a Tuesday night. Monday’s temperatures were in the low 70’s, while Wednesday’s temperatures were in the mid 40’s.
More evidence of His Noodly Appendage and the obvious correlation between Pirate activity and global warming. :-D
@Nick:
I’ll reply with my writeup as soon as I get some contact info for you.
Hail to his noodly appendage.
I knew that he wouldn’t let such a fine piratical display go unrewarded.
We also believe that he enjoys seeing his own image - why else has he put it everywhere?
If only more people understood.
RAmen.
Arrrr! that be a most wonderful facial hair piece ye be sportin Nick! And good job on the conversions. We need more dedicated pirates like you.
Hey brits! I just found an article about the UK screening of the film! Its feb 9. Details can be found here http://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/news-articles/0701/07011801
This truly is great news we have been saved again by our noodly lord who has brought the flock of dodos to our island.

Can’t wait ’til this hits the big screen. Lets hope it comes to the north of old blighty.
Cheers for bringing this to us Nick.
Holy FSM! Guys I just got a confimation email from Randy Olson! I didn’t want to mention this until it was confirmed, but it is. Randy was so impressed with the Pirate/FSM presence at our screening, that he is going to fly me out to Los Angeles for one of the bigger screenings of Feb 6! All I have to do is show up in full regalia, and spread the almighty word! How cool is that! Our noodly lord has touched me well on this one!
Nick the Infidel, Wow!
That is impressive! Congrats dude.

I am totally not kidding at all. We make lots of fun around here, but I am a serious as can be. I drank many a brew with the director the other night, and I take his word for it. They spent a lot of money on 3 dodo costumes that will be at that screening. There will also be a Darwin impersonator there, and me! I think I need to brush up on my piratespeak.
If anyone doubts my sincerity in this matter, I’m sure that

two weeks from now I’ll be able to provide photographic evidence of my trip. I am debating whether or not I should just fly with the whole regalia on. That could make for some great photos of me walking through the airport, going throuth the metal detector and getting screened, getting detained by homeland security and such. Please give me some ideas! I have to do this one up right.
.
@Booty– “Nick is our first official missionary!
Yay! Go Nick!”
.
You are kinda right there. I didn’t think of it like that. The best thing is that, where most missionary trips are funded by the parishoners themselves, this one is funded by an outside source who just realizes how damn cool our religion actually is. Wow, his noodly appendage does work in some mysterious ways.
.
Seriously though, I want to represent the church in the best way possible. This could be a big event for the future of our church. Please add any insight you can, as to how I should handle this event. I need all new and better pirate regalia, I have to figure out how to abuse my schools printers to get at least 500 brochures printed. I have a lot to do!
.
Please add any suggestions you might have!
I think you sound like you are doing great!
I will have a think for you - it could take some time!
Maybe you could ask if a Beer company would sponsor you to promote their beer as one of the beer volcano’s?!
As my great grandfather used to say:
Cool
.
Nick, after Booty’s comment I request you change your handle to ‘Nick the Missionary’.
By all means stick with your current handle, but I feel it is arrogant for people to name themselves such, so Booty is naming you and I am seconding that. However, if you are a modest man you may remain Nick the Infidel ;)
.
This shows that people who stand up and make the most of life get the most out. Let Nick be a shining example to the lot of us.
.
Might I recommend wearing whatever pirate regalia you can that does not have metal on it, and does not have any swords, cutlasses etc. Sort of a traveling robe. I would also recommend a quick phone call to your local authorities to find what is or is not allowed if you are still worried. In the UK, people would be cheered by seeing a pirate board a flying ship, not sure about the now paranoid USofA.
.
WRT Beer sponsors, great idea, might I recommend a small real beer brewing company. They need not sponsor much, but I’m sure his noodley one would appreciate help going to the finer more real ales and not these massed produced things.
Sorry for double post….
WRT pic 5 above, that meal will see her through the week… ;)
.
.
In honour of Nick’s great honour, I suggest we all prepare a special meal for ourselves on Feb 6th. It must have a fish portion, and be accompanied by beer (A pint on the side, not in the actual dish).
Argh - do we have to eat fish? I can’t stand the stuff!
Can I eat something in a piratey shape instead?

Hi Eggy. I’m not British myself. I’m from Yorkshire, FSM’s own country! There are a few of us here, Brits I mean. A few Aussies too! In fact we’re a pretty diverse bunch. Down side is that it’s a bugger to try and arrange a pub crawl, er, I mean bible study meeting :).
@Eggy:
I be British too. Not sure about human, but certainly British.
Do you play AA at all? I used to know an Eggy.
Hi Teddy. I meant to say something about your white collar crime thing.

Ok, here is one for the UK FSM congregation (or expatriats) . The Downing Street 10 website hosts various petitions. One of them calls on the government to abolish faith schools, the teaching of creationism and IDiocy. Since FSMism isn’t taught, why should any other faith get special treatment, especially since those are fairy tales that don’t have a graph with empirical evindence like ours. The other calls for an end to the promotion of any religion in publicly funded schools. Signing them takes less than a minute. They are at:

Can someone tell me is Pastafarianism a legally recognized religion?
@Third Eye Patch:
That would depend on your country. Although I think the answer is no to all of them :(
.
@Eggy:
Check my link, and look at my name. Haven’t played in a while, and only really play UT2004 now.

@Everyone.
Anyone up to a FSM UT2004 slug match. One day, when we are all good, we can invite some xians to play.
Signed, I’m 5301
Third Eye Patch,
Not sure what you mean by legally recognised religion.
In the UK and Europen the drive is to be non-specific about religions because that’s prejudicial against those off “the” list.
.
Of course that lets in more and more whacko nonsense. Not all religions believe sensible things like the world was created in 2 seconds by a pasta monster. They believe all sorts of impossible stuff about God impregnating women and people rising from the dead. I accept that’s some of the more way out craziness on the web, but its hard to legislate for sensible religions (like ours) without letting in the stupid stuff that [for example] fundie christians believe.
.
There is an argument that we should secularise the state entirely and leave everyone on a level playing field.
.
I think they have a right to believe their stupid nonsense, I just don’t think we should be made to respect them or give them any special privilege in law.
@Captain Noodulous Silicate TBHNA
I guess what I mean by legal is: could I sue for being discriminated against for being a pastafarian, could I claim Pastafarian as my religion on a census (some people tryed ‘Jedi’ but that wasn’t allowed) could the Great Henderob claim tax exemption on any money recieved for ‘church’ reasons- that sort of thing.
@ Captain Noodulous
I see rising from the bed a miracle, but rising from the dead. Are these folks serious?
.
@TEP
I’m sure there would be no police at your door if you claimed to be PastaF. I claimed to be Pagan on mine and there was no trouble. Considering what xians have made people believe what Pagans are over the year I would have expected all sorts of trouble.
.
Human sacrifices! My arse, I wouldn’t sacrifice a piece of meat. I’d bloody well eat it, that’s what the animal gave it’s life for. Same goes to vegetables. Kill it for two reasons.
1) It’s gonna kill you
2) You’re gonna eat it.
.
Most plants aren’t of the proactive murdering nature, so they only really need to be killed for one thing (of course, in promoting life you could remove a weed to stop it choking off other life - so they can be murderous after all).
.
As for discrimination, as long as your ‘beliefs’ aren’t against any law, then discrimination is discrimination.
As far as I’m concerned, you go to a country you live by their law. Bugger religion. You use a companies service, you abide by their rules. If they are bad rules, take your money else where.
.
But as for racial hatred, etcetera, it’s all illegal, even if you claimed to be a pixie that thought it was XXXX right hand man. You are still protected.
@Nick the Infidel
Congratulations Nick :)
You’ve ended up in that missionary postion you were looking forward to ;)
To Nick the Infidel… try contacting Stone Brewing Company at www.stonebrew.com. They’re a small (and, I’ve heard, excellent) brewery with a cool attitude. They’re located in San Marcos which is 1-1/2 hours from Los Angeles. Who knows, they just might want to sponsor something as COOL as an FSM missionary!

To Wench Nikkiee… LOL!! You are so funny!
@teddy, tried ur link, but got an article about 3D minesweeper. very interesting, but not quite what i was looking for :P in MOHPA, were u in a clan?
@TEP im sure a pastafarian has done this, but could someone plesae check the law on what is a religion and what isnt? if there was a loophole, it would bring a seriosu amount of publicity to our cause :D
@Teddy Jan 21st, 2007 at 11:54 am
I don’t know if they’re serious about the reincarnation thing.
It’s all very deadpan but you have to believe it is ultimately some sort of satire.
They’re really good at keeping the joke going but occasionally someone (and usually someone high up like the Pope or Archbishop of Canterbury) really high up say something so appalling that you’re supposed to realise it’s a big joke.
Those damn murdering plants! They just make me so mad. I think we should start up a flora jihad.
@ Teddy:
Actually I collect plants that eat meat but that is a subject for another forum.
There is a fruit we must never eat. I sighted it in a Zehrs grocery store between the breadfruit and cactus pears. Google its noodles if you wish, it is called Budda’s Hand Citron (sic). The resemblance is awesome. It must be the legendary Forbidden Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. I never believed that Pastafarianism could be derived from Judeo-Christian roots, with all that stuff about people going about smiting one another. Now I know it has Buddhist roots! It makes sense. Today most pirates are Thai. Many Thais are Buddhist. Therefore…
Gotta run, wife coming home

@Al Dente
Mmmm, fly traps. That is one awesome looking fruit. Reminds me of octopus (don’t start counting please). Surely the bounty of our noodley goodness must be enjoyed to it’s full? Although, the question ‘where do we start’ springs to mind for eating it.

Teddy, actually I wanted to try one but they want 8 loonies Cdn (about $6 US) for the darn thing. Thats ok, having spaghetti and beer tonight anyway
RAmen
I don’t think that all of you FSM loonies truely realise the depths of wisdom that the Holy Bible has to offer.
Given that your faith is somewhat centred around the divinity of a “main course” perhaps some of you can be turned from your wicked path by viewing what the “good book” has to offer with regard to culinary advice.
Now if I may quote from Deuteronomy Chapter 14 verses 3-7:
“Do not eat anything that the Lord has declared unclean. You may eat these animals: cattle, sheep, goats, deer, wild sheep, wild goats or antelopes. You may not eat camels, RABBITS (my emphasis) or rock badgers.”
Verses 12-18 contain some useful information regarding edible birds.
The wisdom of the “good book” is by no means limited to handy kitchen advice. I would encourage everyone to examine it’s provisions regarding the proper treatment of female prisoners of war that you have intercourse with but then decide not to marry.
Turn away from the evil FSM and embrace the truth.
Hi Thumper. Lingerie model not entertaining you tonight?
Sorry. I mean this morning. Work a bit slow?
”I would encourage everyone to examine it’s provisions regarding the proper treatment of female prisoners of war that you have intercourse with but then decide not to marry.”
Would this be to kill them after you have finished raping them, or maybe slavery? And as for the culinary advice i found that was prety shit, say if you were stuck in a desert with only a camel for food would you starve because your magic sky fairy told you not to eat it?

Other UK Pastafarians too of course, if you haven’t signed them already. It only takes a minute.
Hi Peter. Yeah. He or she (I’m guessing he) sure likes to play the field. He doesn’t seem to have much work to do though. What with him being self employed and it being ten to nine in Queensland. You’d think he’d be up and at ‘em.
I don’t want to slate him too much just in case he’s really a mate of Nikki. Having said that I reckon that Nikki has better taste.

Hi Alchemist, one would hope so!
@Rodger the Cabin Boy
“Would this be to kill them after you have finished raping them, or maybe slavery?”
In point of fact you should release them after intercourse should marriage be taken off the agenda. Rules regarding your slaves are contained within other thought provoking passages.
@Alchemist and PP-off
Good morning boys! Thankyou for the kind words and sentiments. Indeed “cut and paste” does seem to irritate you both and thus I shall be sure to rely upon same more regularly in the future.
Come on Thumper, sign the petitions and I’ll give you a popsicle. Now there’s a good boy.
Damn it! Alchemist,
He’s already gotten under my skin again!
Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!
thumper, cut-and-paste only serves to tell that you aren’t creative or dedicated enough to write induvidual responses to the different conversations.
@Teddy– Great idea! I had to take you up on it.
.
As for the beer volcano, thats a great idea. It may not be feasible though. I made a dry ice volcano once, and it was a pain in the ass. Plus I’m not sure if we could have alcocol at that theater. It might be easier to just pick up a couple of strippers.
.
@Wench Nikkie. Haa Haa, missionary position! We have come full circle, and you have a great memory. Its not the position I was originally wanting, but I think that it will do!
I think thumper is jerking our noodles. If he is Nikkies friend, hes likely just playing a troll due to our absence of real trolls. I did it for a while when I was converted, and became “Nick the Bible Thumper”. You’d be surprised how many people didn’t get my joke, and became quite angry with me. Only a christian with his head up his arse, would ever quote deuteronomy or leviticus. It creates too many problems for them. That is, if they live in a logic-based world, which is often questionable.
@Dutch Pasta Guy
“Come on Thumper, sign the petitions and I’ll give you a popsicle. Now there’s a good boy.”
Don’t tempt me with your earthly pleasures…Such inducement may tempt me to write my name saying that I follow the FSM but in my heart disavow such heresay. But like the great Sir Thomas Moore I refuse to accept such evil notwithstanding that the proffered popsicle is bound to be both sweet and refreshing.
Hey Nick! Forgot to congratulate you on the missionary work. You’ll do great, but don’t forget to LEAVE THE BEER OFF THE PLANE. The whole liquids thing in the U.S., you know.
I’m definitely with L’TUAE on that - RAmen Dread Wench, RAmen.

Thumper. I really don’t think you’ve worked us out. You’ve certainly not worked me out! I’m not pulling my hair out screaming that the great Thumper, blessed be his name, is so much more intelligent than me. Adonis-like no less.
Oh Great Thumper - how can we emulate your impossible standards. I am but a shadow compared to thee. Please bless me with your witty repartee and bestow upon your humble servant your insight.

Okay Pete, I finally looked up the Yurt. But do you know what a Caganer is?

Enjoy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caganer
I think that is what they settled on. You can carry any liquid up to 5oz. The funny thing is that you can’t even take a 6oz tube of toothpaste, even if theres only a little bit of toothpaste in the tube.

Oh Thumper, you disappoint me “Ummmmmmm…double up on the Lithium and read your Bible.”
.
I’ve used the lithium gag before. Not so long ago as I recall. Then you get all thee and thine to Nick.
.
Come on Thumper. You’ve got a brain (self-professed but I believe you) use it. Please be a bit more original.
What size hat do you wear? Just out of interest you understand. No hidden meaning.
“double up on the lithium and read your bible”

somehow I don’t think those to would go together very well. Although it would explain how so many drug addicts become born again. Impairment must have something to do with your high recruitment rate.
Since were discussing petitions, heres one that is very near and dear to my heart.

If you’ve see “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” , you might remember that they had some awesome “Team Zissou” adidas. People have been trying to get adidas to produce these shoes for years. Even if you don’t want a pair, please sign the petition! I want those damn shoes!

@Thumper–”Oh I’m a believer baby!…I’m not a friend of Wench Nikkiee (although I’m sure she personable enough)…so…fire thine salvos for although I walk through the Valley of the Shadow….(you get the idea)”

I’m still not buying it. You just don’t have the right feel, as most of our fundie trolls around here do. Who quotes food restrictions from deuteronomy? Why not go straight to shellfish restrictions from leviticus? Of course that would just bring up the issue of menstruation, and who really wants to go there?

“I’ve used the lithium gag before. Not so long ago as I recall.”
Egads! I’ve breached copyright it would seem!…my apologies but I did not have the pleasure of reading your previous Lithium Post. No doubt it was an entertaining and informative autobiographical insight into the complex personality that is Alchemist…I don’t suppose you could do a cut and paste and post it again for those of us who missed it the first time?
Nick - I’m with you. I’m certain that Thumper isn’t a christian. I’m pretty sure that he’s a second year Uni. drop out. He’s got something to prove alright. He needs to prove that he’s brighter than us!
Thumper. Hahahaha. Like it! Your hat size?
@Nick the Missionary
“Of course that would just bring up the issue of menstruation, and who really wants to go there?”
I’m hearing you on this one…you know that if Eve played greater attention to the aforementioned “food restrictions” the whole menstruation thingo (and associated unpleasentness) could have been avoided…bear that in mind next time you sit down to a feast of rock badger.
Hows about rock lobster?
This poor Thumpy character has at last found something to live for: annoying people! Now we’ll NEVER get rid of its interfering with those unique FSM conversations where serious items receive a lightheartedly wrapped in-depth treatment. Some characters will NEVER understand this, I fear. Aaaaargh!
Wait wait wait.. Are you telling me that the fall of man is responsible for menstruation? I’ve heard alot of christian bufoonery before, but never this one. You cant be serious.
@Alchemist
“Nick - I’m with you. I’m certain that Thumper isn’t a christian. I’m pretty sure that he’s a second year Uni. drop out. He’s got something to prove alright. He needs to prove that he’s brighter than us!”
I actually I almost dropped out in third year but managed to get my shit together when I had a one night stand with a lesbian and got her pregnant with my now 9 year old daughter. I did graduate but I took 8 years to do a 4 year degree and my academic record is rather embarassing…I don’t think I’m smarter then all of you…but I’m sure I’m smarter then some of you.
Those Bible thumpers ARE obsessed with sex, as has been stated before and elsewhere!

Hi Jean, this is nothing new for him.
Why do think his mommie kicked him out of her basement?
I mean, he was only thirty when she did that.
Why was I not invited?
@God
Sorry Lord.
Thumper, nobody cares! Google “personality disorder”.
@thumper
You are so right there are many other thought provoking passages.
One of very many that prokes me is in Exodus:
When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished.
If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
So that’s all right then, no need to even pray for foriveness.
@Marc McOar - “Thumper, nobody cares! Google “personality disorderâ€.”
I tried that and they sent me here.
@sprightly
“When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished.

Well I don’t necessarily agree with everything in the Trade Practices Act either but without rules there is chaos…I’m sure the Lord knew what he was doing when designing rules with respect to livestock/chattels of the kind referred to above.
What about eve causing menstruation? C’mon man I’m on pins and needles here!
Thumper. If that’s true (your last post to me) then well done. You have my grudging :) respect.
.
Thumper. All of us are smarter than some people. The down side is that some people are smarter than us. I’m not having a go at you here. I met someone who wiped the floor with me once. What can you say? Well done is all. It’s like The Ashes - the English who moan about Umpires etc, to me, are wankers. We lost because Australia were better than us. No more, no less.
.
That said, I’m still up for playing silly buggers with you!
@Nick the Missionary
Sorry…I forgot. I don’t have a source but it’s something I picked up somewhere. I heard/read it’s the reason why menstruation is sometimes called, “the curse”. In medieval times women who were suffering from “the curse” were made to sleep in the barn due to the unholy over tones with respect to Eve’s misconduct…I suppose I could check this out but I really couldn’t be bothered…like I said I’m not prepared to say it’s “gospel” but rather something I heard/read. Perhaps you might like to delve deeper into the mysterious world of menstruation?
Sounds like you pulled it out of your ass to me. I’d be more willing to believe that tyranosaurus rex was a vegetarian before the fall of man.
You are really, really obnoxious. How many friends have you made being this fucking obnoxious? Incredible, and totally unnecessary.
Thumper,
hahahahahaha
You really are smart!
Now will you be my bitch?
Thumper. It’s biblical. Something about putting her out of your tent. Leviticus would be my guess. Likewise, I can’t be arsed looking it up.
Having fun?
Thumper,
Lets try these, I have my “sorce” with me.
I call it… The bible…
.
Leviticus 15:19
‘Whenever a woman has her menstrual period, she will remain in a state of menstrual pollution for seven days.
.
Leviticus 15:19
‘
Anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.
.
Leviticus 15:22
‘Anyone who touches anything she sat on….
.
Leviticus 15:22
‘…must wash clothing and body, and will be unclean until evening
.
Theres more, but now you’ve got the basic idea.
Geesh, I guess Thumper ain’t so bright, eh?
Thumper, since you are unwilling to Google things that may help you understand yourself, I have taken the liberty:

eek Peter. Again?
@Nick the Missionary, PP-off, Marc McOar, Alchemist.
You guys sure know your Bible…good to see I’ve managed to get you all to open it up and have a flick through…PP-off is most impressive…must have read half of Leviticus (or a least got his kid to read it to him).
@Nick
“Sounds like you pulled it out of your ass to me.” I really can’t recall where I heard it…I suppose it’s possible that I found it in my arse but I really can’t be sure…would think I’d remember finding something like that there.
Landover babtist church puts some of those leviticus quotes on thongs! Ha Ha(ala nelson muntz)

The Halcyon website estimates that 1% of the population has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Yet, the Church of the FSM has had several show up. It seems like alternative religion sites, especially one as serious and meaningful as this one, attracts these folks like moths to a flame. Fascinating.

Everybody… about Thumpie… hahahahahahahahaha ha
We were all well aware of the bullshit in the bible, long before you showed your head around here. Don’t try and take credit for it.
