you really wanna get a pirate ship church thing?
Was there not anything of 8 things telling the FSM don’t wants tempels or churches?I can undersatand if you want 1 million dollars or more for you, but then put this as the reason of merchandise and I’ll buy something.
If the money is for a stupid Ship-Church, I won’t buy anything, even if I like the car emblems and mugs a lot.
If you don’t want he Money for you,
GIVE IT TO A CABLE COMPANY, IN ORDER THEY WON’T CHARGE THE AMOUNT TO OUR BILLS, OR GIVE IT TO AN AIDS FOUNDATION OR WHATEVER.IF YOU WANT A PERSONAL PIRATE BOAT FOR SAILING AROUND FOR FUN FINE FOR ME TOO, BUT NOBODY NEEDS A FUCKIN’ PIRATE BOAT CHURCH, IT WILL NOT HELP YOURSELF, NOT ANYONE ELSE!!!

I must agree that it is an important issue, perhaps the most important one, since the fact of the existence of the FSM is SO obvious.
.
So I would want Mr. Henderson specifying a bit more what is the purpose of buying such a boat. Because he certainly will not contradict the eight I’d really rather you didn’t for that, he wro… I mean the FSM wrote it.
.
But as Mr.Henderson once said, he contradicts himself all the time. So we should just swallow it and shut up, as they do in other religions. Shouldn’t we?

Personally, I’m pretty psyched about the pirate ship. I’ve always wanted to sail the seas to commune with His Noodly Goodness. Plus, think about the cool eye-patches! The hats! The parrots! The hooks! The peg-legs! The swashbuckling! Arr, it be amazing, me amigo.
And what the fuck do cable companies have to do with anything?

No max! Cox cable has enough of our money we want a pirate ship for worship. Why max, pray tell, is it that you are so enthusiastic about giving money to a “CABLE COMPANY?”

Aye, ’tis true that the Pirate Ship contradicts the scriptures… perhaps it’s a sign we’re becoming more like the ‘real’ religions, ready to change our minds when it suits us?
I actually think the Pirate Ship is a great plan, but to justify it, I’d hope Bobby (pasta be upon him) could use it for charity events like sailing races, or as a venue for charity auctions, things like that. Because it’ll definitely get a lot of media attention when he gets it together, we should use that to better the world and prove what good people us Pastafarians really are.

Uhhh…You know this satire thing we’re in? The point that we don’t want a church or a temple devoted to the FSM, and then saying we need a pirate ship church thing is that it’s self-contradictory.
.
The Gospel of FSM itself is self-contradictory. So is, not shockingly, the Bible. If you think you’re actions are justified by an internally inconsistent document, then we have every reason to justify ours.

I totally think it should be on wheels. With a 2.4 liter mazda engine converted over to run on pure ethanol (made from wheat of course).

I know that this idea has a downside, but I’ve changed my mind about Johnny Depp. If the Scientologists can get whatsisname Cruise, maybe the Pastafarians could get Johnny Depp as a disciple, and we could get a pirate ship cheap from Gore Verbinski and could run a permanent good-pasta tour around the world.

Well, the pirate ship can be used to bring down global temperature, no?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but lack of pirates causes global warming, so the ship will help that. And, technically, it’s not a massive church. It’s to help the religion grow and prosper. Right?
Blessed be, and RAmen.

I’ve wondered about this myself. But then I realized. The Gospel says not to build church*es* – plural. Bobby’s only planning on building one. Therefore, as long as he doesn’t build another one afterwards, and spends the rest of the money on cable, etc, he’s fine. RAmen!

The pirate ship is not a floating church!
We’re not to build shrines & monutments, i.e. spend stupid amounts of $$$ on crap that just sits there & does nothing, all in “his name”…
The ship is fully a fully functional vessel to help us “offer” our religion to others, and let them know of our religion.
There’s no contradictions on building a ship!
Besides he told Bobby to tell us everything in the gospel, he might have told bobby to do something else!!!

it can be justified because we’re not using the money to BUILD one, we’re using it to BUY one. the 6th I’d really rather you didn’t says “I’d really rather you didn’t BUILD multi million-dollar synagogues/churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my noodly goodness” but we aren’t building, we’re buying and adding on. it’s a very fine line we’re not crossing. besides if it costs less the 2 million, it’s OKAY. then it won’t be a multi-million dollar church. do you guys follow?

iii) Living In Peace, Loving With Passion, And Lowering The Cost Of Cable

I see nothing against acquiring a Pirate Ship in which to sail the high seas spreading His Noodly word?
Besides all the other religions change their interpretations to suit.
Take for example those cdesignproponentsists, their book says “Thou shalt not bear false witness” but now “lying for Jesus” is considered not only righteous and acceptable, but is a fundamental basis for all their media advertising departments! Just look at AiG, DI or Uncommon Descent!

It’s not really breaking the rule, since the pirate ship is more of a holy vessel in which to transport Bobby (peace be upon him) to heathens across the world and to lower the global warming. If heathens decide to repent whilst inside the ship, that still doesn’t make it a temple. But you believe the rule STILL contradicts it, then a tool for educating carb-lacking fools is truly the lesser of two evils.
Actually, I’m not sure that there’s any need in justifying it, if it breaks any laws than the FSM’s noodley appendages will destroy it.

First of all, It’s the “I’d really you rather didnt’s”. So if we buy a ship, no big deal. Second, it says “multi-million”. We are only ask for a single million dollars, so we’re good. Oh, and I wouldn’t dare interpret the gospel in some convenient manner to serve my own particular flavor of FSM. I mean really, its not like anyone would do that to a religion. That would be rediculous.

Besides, if said Pirate Ship/Church sails around the world doing random acts of kindness upon the less fortunate, then it is justified, because it is less about honoring the FSM with a flashy object, and more about honoring It by not being a douchè.

I think its important that the FSM seems both ridiculous and airtight at the same time. So it can take down Intelligent Design by making it look ridiculous and stupid, while at the same time it must be completely airtight, so there can be no hypocracy in it. This will make it impossible for faiths that are very pro ID to combat us, because every religion contradicts itself, so we need ours to not contradict itself whenever possible so it seems to make as much sense as possible.
So drop the boat idea, it’s not against any other faith to build expensive churches and palaces for themselves so we can’t use that as an excuse, but it is against this one. If the FSM becomes a hypocrite faith then it will be harder for us to attack ID.
We could, however, use the pirate ship as an attempt to bring down global warming, because pirates fight global warming, remember? The ship just can’t be in the name of the Flying Spaghetti monster, nor can it be used to convert people, etc. (however, there is also a comment above that points out it says churches, not church, so we CAN have one, but only one if we want to strech the rules, but I advise against it)
So, all who hear me take my advice. The FSM must be both airtight and ridiculous if we want it to make a difference in the world! So, don’t build churches, always wear something that has to do with pirates when talking about him, always be nice to those who aren’t pasafarians, and never argue with radicals of other religions on an empty stomach! (per “I’d really rather you didn’t” 6, 1, and 5, the pirate one isn’t an official I’d really rather u didn’t but it is important for OBVIOUS reasons that only pastafarians understand)
