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?

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.

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.

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!

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.^_^

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.

I read a book when i was a child called Grandma And The Pirates. it is a story about a Grandma who makes delicious noodles. the smell of pasta attacts pirates, and they take the pasta and the grandma to make her make more.
.
Surly there is not a single children’s book as holy as this one, for it contains bothe Pirates and Pasta, and Pirates eating Pasta. here is a link that mentions the book.

@Petros, Lolli P
Just for giggles (and a storm of obloquy from non-pastafarians) you are, of course familiar with the Christian doctrine concerning transubstantiation; see Wikipedia or the Catholic Encyclopaedia. FSM is one step ahead of this odd doctrine, since the body of the deity is unchanged during the entire process of communion…

Yar me hardies. Seems to me we should take a page from the million man/mom march. How about a million pirates march? Then, after the marauding and pillaging (Remember, rape, pillage THEN burn!!), we could storm an appropriate ship, give day or night cruises for money. . . WITH STRIPPERS!!!! I ask, what’s not to love? We could do this all over the world and spread the good word of Pastafarianism, between raping and pillaging. Stagger, crawl, bleed is optional. So, lets pick a city with a beautiful ship, the USS Constitution comes to mind, and plan a date. . .
May the fusilli be with you,

My bad if I took it too far. Defiantly wouldn’t be the first time. Bad pirate. . .go lay down.
I would still like to crew on the ship.
Go in pasta. . .
P.S.
And to those who are sensitive to verbage, rather than calling them pirates you can PC it up a bit and refer to them as “aggressive over seas redistribution agents who remove the cargo from burning ships whose crew are found dead”.

You can count on an experienced cook, linguist, martial artist, alcoholic, fisherman, and international studies expert when you bring me aboard. Just keep the grog flowing. I have a number of recruits more than willing to lay down their boring lives here at home and join you on the high seas. All for the great and saucy sacred teachings of our lord. Can I get a ramen from the people?

But thats kind of what pirates are- they wear black, they have swords, they disguise themselves sometimes. But pirates are more fun than ninja’s, with ninja’s theres the whole working for someone else thing, they dont drink rum, and they dont sunbath (good call Violadude) while working off a hangover. But if you want to, I dont see why a ninja with a neat hat and parrot wouldnt be considered a pirate. I’ve done some security work, and we needed a theme song but no-one wanted to carry around a boombox… so, I say we need to rig up the ship with a PA system to blare Flogging Molly, Jimmy Buffett, and other select piraty composers. How bout it? Arrrggghhh!

We need to get serious about this ship of ours. We need to contact Discovery or Fox or somewhere about a show where people build reallly cool things from legendary myths or futuristic stories. We pitch the idea, then suggest the first thing the team builds is a pirate ship. It should be huge and capable of amazing speeds for sailing. It will need cannons, a poop deck, classic rigging set up, and all of that jazz. We suggest a bottom deck next to the cabins that has barrels full of grog. We come up with the idea, and get copyright over it. We sell the rights to the producers on one condition. We keep the ship once it is done. After they make a badass ship, they will build all sorts of other stuff. Imagine Mythbusters with bigger budget and no limits. Once they are done making the stuff, they give it away to people who can legally use it. This is my idea, and through it we get a ship and a cool TV show to watch.
.
Mr. Henderson, if you read this, i hope you contact my email. I would gladly write up a proposal for the networks if I can man one of the cannons.
