		<description>Jessica,

The profits go to the Prophet. He&#039;s saving up to buy a pirate ship. Didn&#039;t you hear? We can all get a ride to spread the word about our Noodly Master.

		<description>I have been a self proclaimed Pastafarian/Agnostic for years now and have to say that this best piece of advertisement for religious and cultural tolerance in a long time. I do have a question though: Where do the profits of the FSM&#039;s store go to? Could we start funding a serious tolerance campaign? Because if so I&#039;ll throw in $500 right off the bat. This was a great initiative by an Atheist/Agnostic student group and we need to learn from their example and join them. Wish I could have been there. Kudos to them!

		<description>Also, to Elise:

while you may view it as just that those that flipped me and my fellow group members off would receive no beer, I must point out that this is a misinterpretation of scripture.  It may be the case that the beer they received from the volcano would be stale upon their lips, and the strippers from the factory may not be fully pleasing to their eyes.</description>

		<description>This is exactly what Pastafarians should be doing more of: promoting religious plurality and tolerance (and raising money for charity to boot) rather than spouting blatantly anti-religious drivel.  I have to admit, although I felt somewhat estranged from Pastafarianism of late, after seeing how this often turns from gentle satire into downright hatred, hearing about this has reaffirmed my faith in the divine providence of His Noodly Appendage.</description>

Re: Atheists read religious texts for charity

Your article published on September 22nd was very interesting. I applaud the courage of atheists for publicly reading religious texts for such a laudable cause as Doctors Without Borders. A few points are in need of clarification, however.

Erin Rowley&#039;s comment that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a deity created by Kansas author Bobby Henderson in 2005 to protest the teaching of intelligent design in public schools is not correct. 

The Flying Spaghetti Monster, creator of the universe, has existed for all time. Bobby Henderson, our beloved Prophet, is not the “inventor” or “creator” of the FSM. It is his writings that brought the FSM to the attention of the public through a letter to the Kansas School Board and the Gospel of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, our sacred text. 

Prophet Bobby also established the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to further the understanding of our Master the FSM. Pastafarians are dedicated to incorporating the teaching of our version of the Creation in all science classes that also teach the theory of so-called “intelligent design.” 

Those interested in learning more about our Pastafarianins will find useful resources at the website of the CoFSM at www.venganza.org.
