“My friend and I noticed your plea for endorsements from individuals who share both an academic background and faith in the FSM. I’m an academic, but not a scientist, while he is a scientist, but not an academic. We both, however, feel strongly that denying children an education regarding what we know to be the true, noodly nature of the universe is a travesty of human progress. It is apparent to my friend that, from a scientific perspective, no other explanation of existence is conceivable. And he converted to FSMism from atheism. It is apparent to me, as an educator, that to not teach this truth alongside other “theories” of our universe’s creation will cause irreparable harm to our children, escalating to the point at which an entire generation will be ignorant to the noodly appendage operating all around them, inevitably plunging the world and all those upon it into a new dark age. Thank you, Bobby Henderson, for offering an alternative to that horrible fate to which the Kansas State Board of Education would subject our society. Thank you, Bobby Henderson, for saving the world.”

“If intelligent design (ID) is based on science, not faith, then it should fulfill the same criteria as any other scientific theory. One of the most important of these is Occam’s Razor, the principle that the best explanation for a given phenomenon is the one which is simplest, or to put it another way, raises the least new questions. Most ID theories fail the test of Occam’s Razor, because they do not define what entity is doing the designing, or they imply that some sort of god is responsible, which raises the question of whether this god actually exists. However, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism explains clearly who the intelligent designer is, and furthermore, unlike the case for god, there is ample experimental proof that spaghetti does actually exist. I therefore recommend that if ID is to be taught in schools, it should be made clear to students that FSM is by far the most plausible of the many competing ID theories. RAmen.“

“I applaud Mr. Henderson for finally coming forward with a public acknowledgement of our fine religion. Many of you doubt our sincerity and legitimacy and many of you are often unaware of your inadvertant worship. Our most reverend of hymns, “On Top of Spaghetti” is ritualistucally sung by over 75% of the youth of America. Most of these children willingly take of the sacraments of spaghettios. Look into their eyes and you will see the truth. Many have been turned from the true way but He is willing to bring them back into His noodly embrace. As a Doctrate of Comparative Religions, I find it appauling that a small-minded minority is promoting their theories over older more proven scientific principals. May He forgive you for your insolance.“

“As an orientalist trained in anthropology, I can assure you that the Flying Spaghetti Monster-theory is by no means ridiculous. It is, in fact, as solid as Genesis, the Aztec legends or Far Eastern stories about the creation of the world, and it is not more absurd.
It’s important that this’ll be included in the upcoming new school curriculum - the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory could well incite people to think about the discrepancies of other models. I am surprised people can even think of advocating ID - how will we raise the next generations’ scientists without any basical knowledge of facts and theories? Your demand to include the Flying Spaghetti Monster in school curricula is reasonable, not insulting and completely legitimate. FSM-ism would do no harm, and be a tasty alternative for fanatic Christianism.“

As a person with a doctorate in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University (1974) and, thus, a better than average understanding of evolution and Darwinism, I would like to endorse, wholeheartedly, your efforts to get schools to include the REAL truth about ID and about the intelligent designer, none other than the FSM, when they teach ID in their science classes.

“As a biodiversity researcher, it has long been clear to me that there must have been something transcending mere variation, heritability, time and differential survival behind all these different sorts of animals and plants - why this ridiculous redundancy? But your revelation of a noodly appendage guiding all things has supplied the missing recipe for truly understanding this interwoven chaos of diversity. What could be plainer, once one has gazed on one of His manifestations, gilded with ground Parmesan, bathed in the blood of tomatoes, hallowed with the incense of basil and oregano, than the conclusion that only a transcendent being such as He could have conceived of the profoundly tangled connections that are revealed by researches into ecology and evolution. A personal relationship with Pasta should not be an option - it should be mandated, and be available on special Friday and Saturday nights.“ –Dr Mark Hutchinson (Adelaide, South Australia)
“As geneticist, my personal belief in the creator of everything was so far, that he resembles a pink invisible flying rabbit circling the earth just opposite the sun, and soundlessly squeaking “42″. In consequence, this creature is undetectable even by the most advanced human techniques. Furthermore, the ability of being pink and invisible at the same time provides proof for real allmightyness. However, Pastafarianism seems to be much more substantiated, and is not violating Occam’s razor (see comment of S. Bilson-Thompson), and follows pure philosophical logic, as colleague Brian D. Rabern has pointed out previously. Therefore, I am sure that the members of the Kansas Board of Education, who gave logic a particular importance, will honor these undisputable facts by including FSM in their curriculum, thereby setting highest educational standards also for non-US countries. - Additionally, the invisible pink rabbit hypothesis might be discussed if there could be some time spared in the pupil’s schedule.

“Just to add my endorsement of Pastafarianism as a nutritious and delicious alternative to ID and other forms of creationism. While I myself would prefer to keep all such religious views out of the classroom, if I am forced to teach one as an alternative to evolution, I will certainly choose Pastafarianism.“

“If intelligent design (one of my favourite oxymorons after military intelligence and friendly fire) is to be taught in biology lessons, then such crossover of subjects should be expanded! Haiku should be taught in motor mechanics, the making of dovetail joints should be taught in mathematics and cell structure and function in French classes. All of this is as equally logical as the teaching of things written down in a book by Middle Eastern asylum seekers in North Africa thousands of years ago in Biology.
Until today when I read your site I was an unworthy atheist who believed in nothing but reason and evidence based theory but now I understand that this was now just part of the FSM’s plan for me! I now pledge my research from this day hence to understanding the deeper mysteries of the FSM’s creation.“

“As a regular contributor to the scientific literature in the area of Industrial and Organizational Psychology and Associate Editor of one of the top 10 journals in the field, it seems that many of the most important contributions to science involve unification of seemingly discrepant theoretical positions and bodies of data into larger, more unified “Big Picture†theories. We have witnessed this kind of scientific progress in physics for decades and now we are faced with similar promising prospects of an integrative perspective that links biology, metaphysics, and the culinary arts into one overarching theory of how everything got to be the way it is. The theory of evolution (the biological contribution) is a widely accepted and scientifically grounded explanation of the Earth’s current biodiversity, yet it falls short of an explanation of how everything got started in the first place. Intelligent Design (ID, the metaphysical contribution) argues convincingly that things are just too complicated for things to have started themselves and effectively argues that, therefore, there must have been a designer. Unfortunately, ID falls sadly short of identifying the designer him- or herself. The Theory of Flying Spaghetti Monsterism (the Pastafarian contribution from the culinary arts) presents a very convincing and parsimonious account of the identity and nature of the Intelligent Designer himself and, I think, creates an exciting potential for a Unified Theory of It All. Needless to say, any public school curriculum would be negligently incomplete and shamelessly biased if it did not present a fair and balanced treatment of the three intellectual pillars represented by Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.”

“I wish to thank you for opening my eyes (and for making my mouth water). I have already referred to our leader the FSM in both my classes this quarter–Theories of Crime and Deviance & Capital Punishment–as the role of religion (not the roll of garlic) is paramount in explaining crime and punishment. I look forward to further developments in the liturgy in time for my Law & Society course (not the antipasto course). I wish to alert you to today’s class discussion, we we briefly considered both the FSM and yesterday’s article in the Journal of Religion and Society. There appears to be a strong direct correlation between a nation’s belief in “A Creator” and very high levels of social pathologies. Either belief in a creator is dangerous to a society’s health, or we have just been following false creators. Therefore, it is even more crucial to teach Pastafarianism along w/ ID. The ramifications reach all the way to the Social Problem of Order, not just the elimination of doctors from Kansas, Dover PA, & Cobb County GA.”

“As a life-long subscriber to the scientific method, I find myself astonished at your succinctly unifying theory of the origins of matter and life in the Universe. I find myself unable to express the depths of my admiration and beg to offer you my accolades for your unequaled contribution to the field of general knowledge. That which eluded the greatest minds of humanity, the grand unifying theory of _everything_, is now laid bare for all to acknowledge; its brilliant simplicity far surpassing the inelegance of the Standard Model, the tacked-on nature of the Cosmological Constant, the inobsevability of M-branes and the obviousness of Quantum Gravity. It is perfectly derivable that the FSM is the duality of, on one hand, the driving force behind the imaginary-to-real temporal transition (falsely referred to as the Big Bang), and on the other hand, the impetus behind the universal entropy reduction (falsely referred to as Evolution).
It is my sincere hope however, that you may acknowledge that the images of Him, are mere projections onto our consciousness of the rapturous and divine cross-dimensional entity that He must represent. It is highly unlikely, and strikes this writer as somewhat jejune that His true image would be not dissimilar to that of a $5.95 lunch special at Belinda’s.

“I am a university researcher and lecturer in Sweden, which is a frighteningly secularised society. The need for the restoration of faith is particularly acute here. Amongst the religious minority, many cling to the exultant euphoria and collective catharses of pentacostal ritual. This fulfils a important need in this country’s emotionally and socially inhibited society. Many others uphold the imported religions of their immigrant backgrounds, which adds welcome variation to the palette of human beliefs and dogma. In Sweden there are strong inverse statistical correlations between drug abuse, youth delinquency and crime when plotted against the number of church goers. It is common for students to point out what to them are an obvious causal effects when presented with such data. I find myself standing before a clawing need for a faith based, postconstructive curriculum as an alternative to the secular and scientific programmes that totally dominate this countries universities.
The Kansas School Board’s embracing of the intelligent design constitutes a step into the abyss of rhetorical fallacy, a step that I believe would be embraced by a the majority of pupils if impressed upon them in a sufficiently charismatic and ebullient fashion. It seems to me though that the board have overestimated the abilities of science teachers to dupe and cajole pupils into accepting the content of their curriculum, and that intelligent design would more efficiently be forced on innocent minds through the use of professional sales personal, spin doctors, Hollywood writers, politicians or priests.
I myself have looked into a number of belief systems in an attempt to find a candidate for fulfilling students’ clawing need for simple answers that explain the complexity of the world. I find none as delightfully absurd and blatantly simplistic as Pastafarianism. It is clear that this is what I shall be teaching my students when they draw simplistic, uncritical, fact denying, authoritarian, dogmatic, or contradictory conclusions from incomplete knowledge. Pastafarianism beautifully illustrates how easily and arbitrarily specious truth can be constructed and it is the perfect complement to the stolid scientific approach.
Until such time as a new era of human enlightenment under a new prophet transfixes my attention, Pastafarianism will become a lecture hall word — a word through which I can offer those clawing students the sense of security and faith in the ridiculous that they need in order to revert to the path of rationality, uncertainty and the systematic search for truth.
To this end, there is also a place in the scientific curriculum for intelligent design, it’s just that Pastafarianism fulfils that role so much better.”

“Registered Nurses are trained to be respectful and supportive of their patients’ various cultural and religious beliefs and practices. In my practice, I care for the elderly, typically in the few remaining days of their lives. I have seen, first hand, everything from Voodoo death rituals to the classic Catholic prayer hoping for a miracle. I may well offend ALL faiths, but let me speak of religious diversity and miracles.
I know this is not scientific, but I can conclude, based upon massive first hand anecdotal evidence, that these many religions and faiths, despite their seemingly different dogmas, all worship the same God. If all of humanity could see my patients fully exercising their faiths as I have, it would lead them to that same conclusion, even though it is only based on “wimpy” anecdotal evidence, and not on a double-blind clinical trial that would satisfy scientific rigor. On the topic of miracles, any soccer mom who had to feed the whole team will tell you, Jesus could not have fed the masses with a single fish. It makes more sense that he accomplished that miracle with a giant, steaming bowl of spaghetti. I’ll bet if we examine other miracles, we will often find a noodly appendage invoking His influence.
So, I wholeheartedly support the concept of equal time for all divine theories in the classroom, especially FSMism. If we, as a species, could finally realize that all forms of God are one and the same God, perhaps religious wars would end, and we could truly love one another as most religions indicate. Your demand for equal presentation of FSMism in schools appears, on the surface, to be self serving for Pastafarians. However, you are really helping mankind in ways you may not be aware of.
Andrew D Pohlman, RN“
Yes. I concur.
Okay so the FSM.. where to start? Now considering the fact that he had to come from somewhere, can you explain with a logical explination to as why he isnt doing what the “creater of the world” is supposed to do? And if he has a reason for not doing all good to “his world” then why did he create it? And the FSM according to the principle of the economy of thought, “Ockham’s Razor” is invoked often in debate, usually to discount one or more theories on the basis that another exists which is simpler or more parsimonious.. which would lead to FSMism. Its a theory thought up from those not satisfied with other religions, maybe to feel more complete or to belong in a group to fit in. Its an interseting idea honestly but not plausable and deffinatly not realistic and im sure even beleivers in this FSMism knows and agrees to that deep down. And one other statement if this is an all powerfull floating noodle dinner, then his powers must be limitless (after all, according to you he created everything and the world right???) if this question is answered then i will hail the FSM for the rest of my life and never eat anything but spagetti forever.. Okay so we established the thought of limitless power of the FSM right? Now, can the all powerfull create a meatball so heavy that he cannot lift it with his muscular noodle arms? And that answer will always be a no beacuse you are all stupid and cant think of a logical explaination to such a genius question. Thank you very much, feel free to reply with your answer. Spagetti really does rule :]
@Steel Bessy
I refer you to an answer I gave to a hate mailer. As you can see I’ve included the original questions to keep it in context.
Pluto Oct 8th, 2007 at 5:35 am
Ok, my turn!
.
1.how could the FSM create the earth when earth made noodles?
.
I’m glad you asked this question spunk cracker. You see, this is how I explain the idea of an infinite universe. Man dose indeed make pasta. But then pasta makes the universe, with me so far? The universe gives rise to man, who in turn creates pasta! Add infinity. See the FSM had to create the universe of there would be no-one to create him. It’s a continual cycle!
.
2.rice came before noodles, and rice didn’t come before earth was there.
.
Ah, I refer you to question 1 jizz biscuit.
.
3.how can FSM fly?
.
Quite simple my mentally deficient friend. It’s a form of Dark Energy manipulation. You see dark energy (as opposed to dark matter) repels mater and vice versa. Therefore all the FSWM has to do is apply dark energy equal to the force of gravity and he will float! Reduce it a little and he will lower his altitude until the dark energy is equal to the gravitational potential (reveres to go up). He propels himself using an Ion drive. This collects particles from the environment and changes the charge of the particles forcing him along (similar to the poles of two magnets repelling each other).
.
Finally, as anyone who’s eaten Swedish meatballs will tell you, his magnificent ball contain a high amount of lighter then air gases.
.
4.how can FSM stay clumped together?
.
Once again this is dark energy. A week field of dark energy surrounds the FSM at all times keeping his noodlyness permanently within this field. See, it’s as simple as you!
.
5.meatballs weren’t around before rice, rice was before meat balls. again, how does he have meatballs on/near FSM if earth created meatballs?
.
Back to question 1 you semi-simian scampster!
.
6.if the meat balls aren’t touching FSM, how do they float?
.
See 3 my mentally handy-caped companion.
.
7.on a drawing it says FSM created midgets before people of average hight, is that how it worked?(possibly, i am not one to comprehend stories/pics of all those worshipped)
.
Now not many people know this, but the FSM didn’t really create midgets. Well he did in a way, but realised that the world was too big for them. So he shrank the whole Earth to the size it is now. The midgets were now ‘normal’ size compared to everything else and became the first humans.
.
8.on the “proof” page, it just has scientists saying that if you believe evolution, you should worship FSM, you probably made those.How can i tell? well no scientist would ever say we evolved from a giant spaggeti(once again, pardon my mispelling) clump that can/could fly after all the evidence we found of our ancient ansestors.
.
Well you’d just have to go ask them fuck-nut. Scientists can be found in your local yellow pages under Science, labs and universities. You could also try a mad scientist, but they tend to be a little flaky and melodramatic.
.
9. on the “about” page, you said something like,”everyone can agree my god has bigger balls than yours.” You must not take this seriously.
.
Have you seen them? They’ed put a normal man to shame, let alone an imp dick like you.
.
just a few questions and facts. don’t answer any with,”i don’t know”,”he just can”,”magic”,”miracle” or anything like that, period.
.
As you can see I didn’t use anything like that. So suck my big meaty balls!
If that didn’t help I guess now would be a good time to point something out.
This is a parody religion made to counter the teaching of Intelligent Design! This is a problem for the education of many in the US and, unfortunately, can now be seen in England thanks to Tony Blair and his City Academies.
But, as always, thanks for coming and showing you ignorance. As you can see from the above we are quite capable of explaining our selves with sudo-science. Something none of the other religions can do.
Now that I’ve answer your “genius” question, get on your knees and pray to the FSM or be branded a liar (you did say so after all).
Is it more ridiculous to belive that woman was created from the rib of Adam? The idea of FSM is very possible due to His all powerful Noodly Appendage. As Saint Tomas Aquinas ID must be real because there must have been a higher power to “start the domino effect” that started every thing. FSM is here and always has been here. There is proof all around us to prove the existence of the FSM, the trees, the sky, everything is fromed from the Appendage of Noodelness. For you non-belivers i have a question, who “pushed” that first domino in the cause and effects of life, God? no the FSM pushed it with His Noodly Appendage. Second of all I think most of us agree that nobody is perfect so how would we get a ieda of a perfect spaghetti monster? The only way to percieve a perfect being is for it to be placed in our minds by some other perfect being therefore proving there must be the FSM.
Belive in His saucy goodness.
Even though I LIKE this idea of FSM very much, it seems completely absurd to me. I don’t understand where the Jew comes into play with this religion. This monster unless it is a Jew itself cannot exist. I was wondering if this FSM could possibly create a meatball that itself cannot lift? If he can create it then he not all powerful and can’t be the greatrst thing ever and if he cant create it he still is not all powerful, either way FSM is not all powerful. Refering to Pascal’s wager, i will take my chances with not believing in the FSM and if i am indid wrong i will burn in boiling hott meat sauce for all eternity. I was wondering if you can eat FSM because he looks so delicious.
MY THERORY OF THE FLYING PASTAFARISM IS CLOSLY RELATED TO HOW HOMOSEXUAL I AM SAYING THAT BOTH THE FSM AND I LOVE NOODLY APPENDAGES AND BALLS …….OF MEat. ACCORDING TO RICHARD SIMMONS I SHOULD NOT DESIRE THIS SINFULL DELIGHT BUT SEEING AS HE WEARS QUEER CLOTHES AND DANCES LIKE A FAIRY I SHOULD PROBABLY CONSIDER HIS LOGICAL STATEMENT BUT I CANT BECAUSE OF THE FEELING OF NODDLEY APENDAGES IN MY MOUTH MIXED WITH BALLS IS ORCASMIC AND CAUSES ME TO SHOUT WITH EXCITMENT
The Flying Spaghetti Monster is one of the most intriguing religions that have come across yet. This religion does just what Socrates wanted us to do. It questions modern beliefs that have been implanted in our minds of the traditional god and Christian views. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is similar to Anaximander’s theory of there being a “Boundless” being. This religion has evidence to support their beliefs. I’m not saying that I agree with the FSM but I agree with the fact that these people are questioning the modern beliefs.
@ MONNNNNNIZZZZZZLE FOOOOOSHIZLEDIZLE TWNIZZLE BIZZLE GAAAY FRIZLLEIZZLE
..wow someone has too much free time. honestly if this is your atemp to get at anyone you have failed terribly.
i love the fact that this organization has become open to the public because we believe the world has become too tight assed about their religions. people take things too seriously and this is a good way to make looking at the divine a little bit more interesting and laid back; however, saying this, i also have some things i want to throw out there. this is to all the hard core followers of the FSM. if you say that the FSM has bigger balls than God then you must be saying that the FSM is even more perfect than God, and that God to begin with, was never perfect at all. why does everyone use the term “he” when talking about God or the FSM. Do we assume the FSM is male because IT has two balls and a noodle! christians and others claim God is all knowing, all good, and can do everything. if the FSM is more perfect than God then could it do these things or answer these questions we am going to post? to my knowledge God has never been replicated to a form we can see. if the spaghetti monster is so perfect then how could it give rise to beings that can completely understand and even see in drawing? if it is so perfect then could it create something that it couldn’t lift? we dont think it could lift anything anyways because of those limp noodle arms; if you call those things arms. we’re very skeptical…where do we go when we die? do we go to a gigantic palace with an infinite amount of spaghetti to eat and a stomach that never gets full? we think people assume there is a God because it is written in the Bible and miracles seem to be a big part of that. God has his following through his miraculous touch, but we’ve never heard anything about the FSM. we dont see trails of spaghetti falling from the sky when walking outside so how are we supposed to know the FSM is real? if he is all good then why are we not the richest men alive and have to go to school and write about certain things on this wall (Monette)? these are just some things we ponder when listening and seeing philosophical arguments. we dont think we will ever gain the divine knowledge and we’re a bit jealous that Adam and Eve did by eating the All Knowing Apple. Was it an apple…or was it spaghetti?
@Ronald Burgandy - you should thank Aristotle for responding to you.
Ever since i was young i was confused, lost, and had no clue what to believe. Now my life has recently been enlightened by Pastafarianism. People who say that the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesnt exist are complete idiots. Because were as humans are imperfect by design, this thought of a perfect FMS could not have come from us, for nothing can give rise to its opposite(perfection cannot come from imperfection) but indeed came from a pefect being… the flying spaghetti monster! This is a basic principle presented by the famous medieval philosopher Anselm. And if you are on the border between becoming a believer or non-believer, I would take Pascals view on things. For it would be best to believe all you life in FSM and live a wonderful, fulfilling, and meaningful life and find out at the end there was no great “boundless” FSM, then to risk not believing and at the end come to realize you were wrong all along and have no better place to go when you die.
BOOYAHKAHSHA. I Is here wiff none other than my main man DR. Meoff. So tell me Jack, do you agree with the Rasta….Pastafarianism?
DOCTOR-Yes i do, Pascals view on things are most accurate in this situation. For it would be best to spend all your life believeing in FSM and live a happy, fulfilling, meaningful life and find out at the end that there was no great “boundless”, FSM, then to risk not believing and at the end come to realize you were wrong all along and have no better place to go when you die. So why not believe. Ockhams Razor also tells me not to over think such a religion as believeing in the FSM but to focus on its more simplistic values
Right Right Sooo are these Pastafarians of any relation to the uhh Rastafarians….you know uhh PUFF PUFF SMOKE SMOKE?
DOCTOR-NO, i do not believe so
Thats a shame…. CHECK IT yoouuz heard it from Jack Meoff, speaking of which, I gots ta go
RESPECT, out

It was Thales that said water was the foundation for existence. The theory was disproven by Anaximander saying that nothing can give rise to its opposite. Saying that if water was the basis of all life how can there be fire? If God is perfect, it must have it’s opposite; evil. And if nothing can create its opposite then therefore God cannot exist. So seeing as how spagetti has no opposite, it must exist!
I think your theory on existence is absolutely genius. According to pascals wager, why not believe in a religion when the benefits far out weigh the risks. The flying spaghetti monster is perfectly logical and I see no reason noy to believe in it.
I stumbled across your website today, and verily I have seen the light.
If only knew about the holy spaghetti intrusions I wouldn’t have spent four years worrying whether there was a direct correlation between the increased seismicity in the Geysers Geothermal Area and the contemporaneous cold water injection and steam extraction. Man made earthquakes? Nah, his Holy Noodliness was merely resting his tentacles in a Godly-sized foot spa and kicking back some.
Without realizing it, I had been a good Pastafarian all these years. I’ve married an Italian and I have learnt to cook delicious pasta based dishes. Now every night I will eat my penne anointed in the sacred Salsa di Pomodoro della Nonna, in celebration of our Lord of Linguine. Dressed as a pirate. Arrr.
(Good on you for highlighting and satirizing the ludicrous stupidity of the ID ‘debate’, BTW.)
Well I know one thing: there are no non-believers of the FSM on a turbulent airplane.
I will say it. You money grubbing pastafarians are going to find the sales at your on-line store plummet when the Vatican’s on-line gift shop releases its line of bobble headed hold family, all saints and pope dolls. Why the sale of the JPII doll alone will eclipse all the revenue your puny efforts will generate in a decade, and, as we all know, the religion that can raise the most revenue is indeed the one true faith! Plus it can outspend you on informercials, and other evangelical endeavors. In short money buys converts and you have awakened a sleeping giant.
And you are all at a distinct disadvantage because everyone in the Catholic hagiography from Jesus to John Paul has a neck, which is more than can be said for your deity. Get it! No neck, no bobble headed dolls, no big revenue, no converts. Ha, as you can see the traditional religions are still the best. It’s only a matter of time before the Catholic church uses the bobble headed doll revenue to buy a couple of tank divisions to storm you headquarters. I wouldn’t want to be wearing my pasta on my sleeve the day that happens.
Convert to the religion that can make bobble headed dolls before it’s too late!
Well, I’m convinced there, Neal! Only shouldn’t we actually be worshipping the toy manufacturer instead?
I think you guys need to be careful with how FSM is rendered in some of hagiography for sale. In a couple of items, he’s looking a lot like Sponge Bob Square Pants, and no one want that!
Oh all be praised the fsm is our lord our SAVIOR!!!!!!!
