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
Reach around; (happens to be Xandir’s special move on the comedy Drawn Together) A manouver (sp?) whereby one reaches around behind a person (usually male) to grab their genitalia and or buttocks.
I will not give up this easy. If you really have questions email me.

Thanks. And according to Nick the Missionary’s email address Jesus doesn’t give them huh? I thought jesus gave everything?
I will pray for you. All of you.

No further questions from me. The prosecution rests your honour.
UGH. I HATE that. Don’t pray for me! I’m not evil, and if I WERE then it’d be up to me to fix that! I’ll handle the God thing for myself, thank you very much–it’s a PERSONAL thing. I understand you mean well, but get this through your head: JUST BECAUSE WE DON’T BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE DOES NOT MAKE US LOST OR IN NEED OF PRAYER.

If God wants me to change, let him tell me himself, not send some obessive follower after me. Because I really don’t care what that obsessive follower has to say. You’re not me and you don’t know what I believe or why I believe it. I’m not trying to change your views, so pleaseandthankyou lay off mine.

Grr.
Iron gill Kidd I will still pray for you.

Fine, but please, just don’t sacrifice any animals. If you are seiously going to pray for me (on your knees I hope) I’d like a really nice sports car. You think you can organise that?

“I’d like a really nice sports car. You think you can organise that?
Ask and thou shalt recieve…yes?
When should I expect delivery? Just so as I can clean out the garage you understand.
Thanks in advance :) Oh and I don’t want a Merc either…parts/mechanical work are just a little too expensive..unless of course you could organise a pile of cash while you are at it?
Oy. Some people just refuse listen, eh? Well, in that case I’ll pray for you too. Pray that you open your eyes and realize how much time you’re wasting.
“Oh and I don’t want a Merc’

Maybe that was the mistake Janis made…she asked for the wrong make of car.
Nasty god!

I heard God grants miracles. Sometimes medically proven miracles. Can God help me?
.
I only ask because I have a medical problem. It brings me much greif
.
You see, I’m an amputee.
.
I lost my arm in the great Porn war.
.
Would you please pray to your omnipotent and omnibenevolent God for me? That he might use his holy powers to make my arm grow back?

By the way, a reacharound is an act of kindness that can be given or got by a man or a woman. It is an act of reciprocity delivered whilst one gives it from the backside. And apparently it is just a little too much to ask of from certain deities/messiahs around here, and I think everyone know who I’m speaking of.

Hey, no pushing in. Get in line!

Is that why certain of gods spokemen have had to look elsewhere for their “feel arounds”?
@Nick the Missionary. You won’t get much support from me. Or even the regulars here when you make light of disabilities. Being an amputee is not joke. I hope you grow up someday.

I don’t know? I heard most altar boys were pretty consistent with their reacharounds.

That is right…so why won’t god heal them?
Nick the Infidel. Not cool at all.

Believe me, I’m not making fun of people with disabilities at all. I am making fun of people who claim that prayer will help people.

Even you wouldn’t pray over a parapalegic for his limbs to grow back, because you realize that this is absurd. However were it a starfish, and you ripped its arm off, then prayed like hell for it, you might find your prayers answered. Wow god is awesome.
.
Benny Hinn and all the other televangelists robbing old ladies of their pensions, may have smacked many in the forehead, and made others believe that they could now walk. but they don’t ever smack someone and make their leg grow back.
.
Its so sad that your god doesn’t have the power to make mamallian limbs grow back!
