I hadn't checked this thread lately because I thought nobody cared about the threats we have gotten over this. If just one more Pastafarian speaks out against "Jason"'s and "Christian"'s threats, we will fly the flags once again! RAmen to you! Oh wow–Buccaneer Banzai–THANKS for the comment of support! I hadn’t checked this thread lately because I thought nobody cared about the threats we have gotten over this.

If just one more Pastafarian speaks out against “Jason”’s and “Christian”’s threats, we will fly the flags once again!

RAmen to you!

I was raised Catholic, and would never think to threaten anyone with physical harm, in part because that is what my "religion" taught me. Alas, it has become obvious that these days, those who cling most tightly to their orthodoxy display behavior that is the polar opposite of the scripture they regurgitate and pretend to defend.

After two threats here and NO defense from ANY other Pastafarians on this site, we ask you to please not hurt us. We won't fly the flags again. We have taken down the flags.

Your god is supposed to be omnipresent; he doesn't have to reach. 2. Jesus asked us not to smite each other but to "turn the other cheek." You have so much to learn about your religion. Why not save time and join ours instead? Smile, don't smite! Christian, you don’t know much about your religion.

There's nothing like being ‘marked’. At least the church members will know exactly where to start if they ever decide to follow the scripture and take the Gospel outside the church walls!

However, your point of "made-up" religions is not complete. All religions are "made-up" including Pastafarianism. The difference is that Pastafarianism has been made up under our very eyes by Our Hendersonian Prophet and his Baked Accolytes. The important point is that our made-up beliefs are no a bit lesser to the "mainstream religions". Even that, our faith on a Creator heavily drunked in the very moment of creation has more empirical evidence that "intelligent design". "Intelligent design" is conservative because it assumes that our world is just perfect as it is. Contrarily, "drunked design" assumes that some perfection can and must be done. This is the Word we need to spread. (Of course, the idea of a Heaven full of beer volcanoes and strippers' factories from both sexes plays also a role in spreading the Word) Ron,

Your demonstaration is peaceful, non confrontational, and yet so in-your-face! It is not an attack, just a display of faith which is clealy visible from the front of the church. While I suppose most of the congregation may ignore the flags, or don't know what they mean, I can imagine some kid, who's only going to church because his parents make him do it, is looking your direction upon entering the church and thinking, "YEAH!" Well done, Bruce and Susan!
