a proposal for schism - DENIED

[mdmarkus]

Hello,

All mature religions have schisms; some have multiple per Sunday (or Friday, or Saturday, or Last Thursday). Thus, i propose Flying Spaghetti Monsterism needs its own. The basis for this schism? You Pastafarians are putting WAY too much emphasis on the noodly aspects of our Wonderful Creator, and no where near as much attention is paid to the sauce as should be. Thus, i propose the Marinarianite sect for worshiping His Sauciness in the way he was meant to be worshipped.

ps: Please note that cream sauces (ie. Alfredognosticism) are heretical and thus anathema.

[Dr. Otis Lansa]

No schisms. None. We are inclusive and tolerant, and celebrate diversity in both the sauce and the pasta. Alternate viewpoints are allowed and welcome, but no splits are needed. We're building this faith from the ground up and hope to avoid some of the less savory aspects of 'mature religions'. Stick with a mature cheese or a well-aged wine.

While you're at it, check in at the New Convert Thread in START HERE.

That's ok. I just wanted to use the word Marinarainite.

Heh, sorry to get all harsh on ya there marcus... Auntie's given it the full rundown above on why we don't do schisms.

Giggle-worthy words are always appreciated - you'll do fine around here.

I don't like religious schisms. Enough people don't consider me a Jew, I don't need that in Pastafarianism as well.
