Hey, so rather than get an ordinary yacht to sail around the world
spreading the FSM faith, why not something a little more pirate-like.
I was in Bonaire with my family and this Junk was docked there and
seemed sufficiently pirate-like for you.–Dan
I like it. Let’s brainstorm fundraising ideas. Also, we’ll need to figure out how ship-time will be organized. Ideas/Volunteers?
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

What you see as helping us, to us is just pointless. Many of us used to be christian (Anglican myself *shudder*). We gave up religion because we realised several things.
.
1) It doesn’t make sense. There are more contradictions in that book of yours (whichever of the umpteen different versions you want) than there are fundamentalists in the southern USA.
.
2) Your god is a manipulative, homicidal, sociopathic and seriously untruthful being (if he actually existed, that is). If you actually read the bible, not just the bits the preacher tells you too, but the whole damn thing, you will see what I mean.
.
3) Hell still sounds like a better place then heaven. I really could not stand all eternity with a bunch of mormons. I’d rather be burnt in eternal hellfire than that.
.
4) Your religion is too damn restrictive. No swearing, no premarital sex, no meat on fridays, church every single sunday. Screw that.
.
5) Africa and AIDS. Need I say more?
.
6) Your religion is full of paedophile priests.

How is that??
“God is Good Jan 26th, 2007 at 9:50 pm
There is only one Bible. Not these made up money making lies.” er, no. these were taken from a popular bible site: New International Version, New American Standard Version, New King James Version, Revised Standard Version, New Revised Standard Version, The Living Bible, New Century Version. that took me all of 30 secs to find. not to mention all the sects that call themselves christian.
.
another bible publishers states “…There are 5,309 surviving Greek manuscripts that contain all or part of the New Testament….” all reliant on translations. bibles include whichever ones suit that agenda. so which ones do you consider true and which ones are money making lie filled heretical blasphemers? whereas there is one single shining example of our gospel, the one true piratical pasta loving text.
.
go with sauce.
Isn’t the Bible the best selling book EVAR?!
So who’s making money now????
THanks for combating global warming
You’re welcome! :)
Whoa, mateys! We have strayed off course!
We be in the business of findin’ a ship, so’s we can be a plunderin’.
You scurvy lot is thinkin lots o ideas, jus r’member:
Cap’n Morgan is givn th orders here.
He says more rum!
But alas, we need a ship, lest the barrels run dry, and the strippers run off to the crack house.
Only then, with a hold full of plunder, can we keep the wenches aboard and the beer flowing. And yo ho ho, another bottle of rum!
The Cap’n says it, we gotta do it…or walk the plank!

“…There are 5,309 surviving Greek manuscripts that contain all or part of the New Testament….†all reliant on translations.
.
Yes, and those translations can lead to some pretty funny things. My personal favourite mis-translation is the line from Isaah. ‘A young woman will give birth’ in Hebrew is translated ‘A virgin will give birth’ in Greek. And before you know it, you’ve got two millenia of worshipping the virgin Mary. You’ve gotta laugh, don’t you.
Wow. So THAT’S where it came from. But seriously, I think a convention is the best idea. That way all pastafarians can congregate there. I think we should couple up with Gencon, or at least get a booth there, because thousands of potential pastafarians visit every year. Plus it’s awesome. Super Awesome. And one of the stops is near where I lve.^_^
AArrrrrrrrrrr.. I just feel sorry for all the American natives,Inuit,Aztec,Inca,Chinese and sorry for any I missed people that lived and died without getting a chance to know your god and will spend the rest of eternity in purgatory for it,thats bad timing Thumper.I am sure his noodiliness will allow them to sample the beer volcanos and watch the strippers in our afterlife !RAmen
@Jingles
“Hell still sounds like a better place then heaven. I really could not stand all eternity with a bunch of mormons.”
.
A eternity spent in praise and worship! I don’t know about you but that kind of fits my definition of hell rather than heaven {gulp}
.
“What about sex?” …”Oh, praising God is much better than sex!”
“What about beer?” .”Oh no. Worshiping the most high is so much better!”
“Sorry, I seem to be in the wrong place, where’s the door?”
Shotgun the crow’s nest =)
With more pirates there will be more sailboats then cars, so then globalwarming will stop… I’m finally starting to understand this!
Greetings from Sweden (hope turning in to vikings will help you a little bit aswell)
Greetings to Bronson Murphy in Sweden! Jeg bødde i Sverige i 1998. Velkommen til FSM!
To Thumper… I *have* read the Bible, probably many more times than you have, and it’s a fiction book, nothing else. Get it? A FICTION BOOK written by HUMANS with a strange imagination. Prove me wrong.
@Wench Beth.
I’m impressed by your language skills!
And welcome indeed Bronson murphy.
To DutchPastaGuy… Thanks! But I’m still learning. As you could probably tell, det var norsk, ikke svensk :) I’ve got both rattling around in my head :)
No, from the first post I could not have told that that was Norwegian instead of Swedish. At least, I thinks that’s what you’re trying to tell me.
Just wanted to suggest a hymn for the Church (it’s from “Pirates of Penzance”):
Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part,
With a pirate head and a pirate heart.
Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well-to-do;
But I’ll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King.
