I would like to invite everyone to join Team FSM on Kiva.

What is Kiva?

Kiva’s mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.

Kiva is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.

You browse profiles and decide who gets a few of your dollars.

Currently, Team FSM has 60 members and has donated over $3k, spread out over 130 individual loans. A few projects we’ve helped fund:

* Raw materials to make furniture in Peru
* Grocery Store in Cambodia
* Cattle in Tajikistan

It’s an impressive organization and the money goes directly to the individuals in need. There’s no large overhead or creepy religious missionaries involved. And keep in mind that these are loans - if all goes well the money comes back.

If this is something you’re interested in, please join our team.

UPDATE 10/4/08

Wow - in one day we added 40 new members to Team FSM and over $4000 in new donations!

Hello, I am a Christian, and I would just like to know, is their any proof of FSM? If so can you please show me the proof, or explain it to me over the web please, I am curios to know. I personally believe this is just some silly religion thought up by an over active imaginative mind of someone. Who told others, and the few that believed him were hopeless in life as it was to begin looking for someone to lead them, and show them the way, so they just followed whatever he said. ( much like scientology)

Huge thanks to Avelino for creating the above portrait, Pasta in the Night. It is beautiful.

Here’s Avelino’s Deviant Art page.

This is a stupid Internet Meme that has somehow turned into some kind of religion. Ranting at them is not going to help.

Before you ask, yes, I am Christian and believed Jesus died on the cross for all of us because he loved us that much.

If I may ask, though, would the FSM willing give up his own son (if he even has one) for a multitude of people who hate him, despise him, aim to obliterate his very existence? Even if this act only saved one person?

My friend Andrea was graced with the presence of His Noodliness on her 24th birthday this year. He came to us in the form of funnel cake with chocolate cookie “meatballs” and nonpareil eyes. The t-shirt speaks volumes as well. Hope you enjoy!

Hahahahhaa. This is the most idiotic thing I’ve heard. Pastafarianism, what such bullshit, how about you all turn agnostic and end this?

-hoho

It was a victory for Pastafarians everywhere.

Last Friday - Talk Like a Pirate Day - the Central Arkansas Pastafarians interrupted and caused the discontinuation of a Westboro Baptist Church hate-demonstration.

Westboro Baptist Church is best known for picketing funeral processions of soldiers killed in the Iraq War, but they hate everyone who doesn’t share their literal interpretation of the Bible.

From Wikipedia:

The church runs numerous websites such as GodHatesFags.com, GodHatesAmerica.com and others expressing condemnation of homosexuality, Roman Catholics, Muslims and Jews, as well as populations it believes are supporting the aforementioned groups, including Chinese, Swedes, Canadians, Irish, British, Mexicans and Americans.

These guys are intolerant assholes; I am so happy to see our fellow Pastafarians ruin their day.

The Arkansas Times had this to say about the Pastafarian counter-protest:

What do you do to make a bunch of soulless nutcases abandon their post at the Convention Center? Send in the pirates!

Yep, the cuckoo Phelps hate group walked the plank this morning after a happy bunch dressed like pirates and holding signs saying “God hates shrimp — Leviticus” and “God hates cotton-polyester blends” stood opposite them at the corner of Markham and Scott streets. The group, made up of Central Arkansas Pastafarians, waved swords and growled “Arrghh!” in a manner that would have made Abbie Hoffman proud.

With cars honking and waving at the pirates and a TV crew giving them all the attention, the Phelps group — with a child in tow, sadly — picked up their “fag” epithets and went away. Pitiful.

A sincere thank you to the Central Arkansas Pastafarians. You made us all proud.

Had the best geek moment ever! After a panel at a local SiFi Con Randal Munroe and Cory Doctorow had left to grab some lunch. I went to my car to grab a drink. They were passing my car and stopped. Whipped out there cameras and were going to take a picture of my car. I jumped in and said “Oh! That’s my car” They asked me to stand in front of it for the picture. Then I took one in return.

-Myron (DJ DevNull)

This is fucking retarded. People actually thinking there is a fucking spaghetti monster, THA FUCK? I honestly did not think people could get any more fucking ridiculous. Oh people, if you actually believe, then we need to shoot you out into outer space. Dipshits.

I was viewing a Website for my biology course when I had this holy experience.

www.umass.edu/molvis/[…]/chapter.htm

The ribbon model of the example protein (View five) Looks EXACTLY like His Noodlyness.

Recently, I have been doubting my faith in the FSM. I take this as a sign that he is still with me. I have never felt more touched than I do now.

-Ivy

My wife Lucía did me this wonderful FSM cake for my 47th birthday. I had to give a lot of explanations when I brought it to my workplace but it was worth the effort!

Marcelo

Buenos Aires, Argentina.

That is one of the best FSM cakes I’ve seen. How did He taste?

Kay look we all like Cheech and Chong but not when they start a religion. Please come to JESUS and be saved he wants to give you the gift of eternal life.

I say this to all the members of this church. Please come to your senses and stop with this blasphemy and find JESUS. He is the WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. He tells you everything you need to listen to him.

If you had it outs with the church before then fine don’t go to a church at first but at lease buy and ACTUAL BIBLE read it and pray and listen. You will be amazed when the HOLY SPIRIT WASHES OVER YOU.

This is BLASPHEMY. Please stop misguiding people and come to the real lord who LOVES YOU. JESUS LOVES YOU JESUS IS ALIVE JESUS IS LORD YOU CAN BE SAVED.

MAY GOD PLEASE HELP AND BLESS YOU TO GET OVER THIS HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE THAT YOU HAVE STARTED LEAVE THIS FAKE CHURCH AND FIND THE ONLY ONE REAL GOD JESUS JESUS JESUS.

HE IS THE ONE HE IS THE WAY LISTEN TO HIM AND FOLLOW HIM AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED.

The Church of England has decided to apologize to Darwin. Excerpt from The Telegraph:

The Church of England will concede in a statement that it was over-defensive and over-emotional in dismissing Darwin’s ideas. It will call “anti-evolutionary fervour” an “indictment” on the Church.

…

The apology, which has been written by the Rev Dr Malcolm Brown, the Church’s director of mission and public affairs, says that Christians, in their response to Darwin’s theory of natural selection, repeated the mistakes they made in doubting Galileo’s astronomy in the 17th century.

The statement will read:

Charles Darwin: 200 years from your birth, the Church of England owes you an apology for misunderstanding you and, by getting our first reaction wrong, encouraging others to misunderstand you still. We try to practise the old virtues of ‘faith seeking understanding’ and hope that makes some amends.

You can read more about it here.

The fsm appeared to me in my watermelon earlier this year. This is conclusive proof that pirates eat watermelon in order to fly.

-Steve

Steve, I disagree with your conclusions. But as this is a matter of religion, the burden is on me to disprove your claim. Well done.

My favorite thing about this is the spelling of “Toched”. I didn’t say it was a good school, just that I went there. Go Beavers.

Yesterday afternoon I spotted the FSM on the BBC during Mister Maker on Cbeebies.

Good to see His Noodliness being planted firmly into the minds of the young.
