The Missouri State University Pastafarians took some time out of their schedules to spread the Word of the FSM in Springfield, Missouri.
Thanks very much to JT, Trotsky, Brenda and all of the Pastafarians present for doing this. The following description is in JT’s words.
In Springfield, there is a group of zealous christians that bring an array of witty signs downtown every weekend and hold them up trying to save the sinful, wayward souls of all the partiers.
Some of their clever passages of moral goodness include:
“The Party Ends in Hell”
“To Marry a Divorced Woman is Adultery”
“Homosexuality is an Abomination”
etc. etc. etc.
So…my pirate crew and myself decided appraise them to the existence of the one TRUE god:
The Flying Spaghetti Monster
Here I go…gonna give them a pamplet and tell them about the FSM.
They told me they didn’t want it and they refused to take it. I offered to take one of theirs in exchange. Again, they said ‘no’.
I pointed out that it was kind of shitty of them to expect me to be receptive to their message while being unwilling to extend me the same courtesy.
They gave me the stone-walled silence.
Can’t say I was shocked.
I decided to join them…help save some souls, y’know?
Ah, thanks for joining me, Trotsky.
With eyes lit up like the fires of Allah…
Look what we found!
Here’s a close-up.
saucy, saucy wenches. Pun intended.
We handed out 135 pamplets in under 30 minutes. Overall, the night was a HUGE success. People were very receptive to what we were doing. I hope some of them will start becoming more involved in many of the issues dominated by the religous right. The lady above felt compelled to take one of our pamplets over to the christians and explain that we make just as much sense…and she’s hot.
It’s important to have females. It attracts the attention of passers-by and pisses off the uptight people holding the signs across the street.
Another convert. Well-done Trotsky!
Kickin’ ass and takin’ names.
People continually told us that our corner of the intersection felt a great dealer cooler than the others…coincidence? Or prophesy?”

wow.
Funny.
Pirates rule.
Ninjas drool.
Oh how you scalawags intrigue me!
My followers, so lame and smelling of fish,
never had snappy pirate attire. And they all
became so catty when I brought any wenches
into the fold. (They even tried to keep my
wife out of the banquet photo!)
Yours is a faith built on love. Love for humanity
and the Monstrous Macaroni. Oh, that I could ascend
and sit at the right hand of the Pasta. What a blessing
that would be and naturally I could provide the wine.
I bid you peace, love and pasta.

‘i hope you accept the word of Christ soon. now i have to go dress up like my mother and whip myself for having had impure thoughts while cleaning my gun.’

Spot on Steeeve.
Christanity …a theology that unites sado-masochists from all walks of life.

It’s about time we enter the educational system. Here’s a trail-blazing vita to consider:
Doctor of Flying Spaghetti Monster Missions And Evangelisms Degree
Course Syllabus
Each FSM rector must reckoned to have communicated with the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He must be willing to pledge to his group of followers that he/she has been influenced by the voice and vision of the FSM. As a rector in The Church of FSM, you will allow the FSM to speak to your heart and counsel you about the stresses of life. The Flying Spaghetti Monster will replace all your negative emotions with HIS opposites.
You will learn to teach your flock how to experience the FSM living within and learn to abide in the FSM to the extent that HE abides in our gut knowledge of HIM… especially after a nice pasta meal.
Your message does overlap, somewhat, with existing neo-con religions by learning how to fulfill your financial destiny. You will immerse yourself in The Church Of Flying Spaghetti Monster’s Scripture and find support for the belief that the FSM delights in the prosperity of HIS children. You will learn amazing ways to teach your pastafarians that it is the FSM’s desire for them to lend and not borrow, to be the tail and not the head. Once they’re true believers that the FSM actually interfered with the Carbon-Dating process, you will be easily manage to teach them the nature and purpose of prophetic revelation and its proper function in the Body of FSM. You will soon become a questioning, visionary, psychic, and creative thinker who questions the status quo.
Lastly, the FSM belief surpasses creationism and all ID viewpoints simply because it offers a concrete and reasonable explanation of how everything was created in a nanosecond…and recently! With his slick tentacles and all-knowing nature, he obstructed the attempt, via dim-witted human Carbon-Dating, to place things and events in an orderly sequence throughout time. FSM explains how, better than any other organized religion, that the earth was created in 6 days roughly only 6,000 years ago. It explains why the FSM bible is scientifically accurate in explaining why the earth isn’t billions of years old. True FSM believers realize that dinosaurs did not exist millions of years before man, even though thousands of heretic college textbooks say otherwise. The SFM’s tentacles also makes it easy to see why the mountains, oceans, the true location of the Red Sea crossing, and many other events are no older than 6,000 years. Yes, I cannot fathom teaching ID and creationism in America’s science classes without also teaching the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory…it seems to hold up better. I’m awaiting the second coming of the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!!!
None of you can ever truly deny the existence of God. The fact remains that science cannot answer all questions. Also, there are the numerous miracles and relics such as the cloak of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the apparent intervention of God in everyday matter.
“With the gift of intelligence often comes the curse of no faith” -hopefully all of you can try to gain both of these traits.
“None of you can ever truly deny the existence of God. ” Ah hah, but can YOU truly deny the existance of a Flying Spaghetti Monster? I think not.
FSM is great, from what I have seen in it’s scientific properties as well as bits of the Gospel of FSM and the 8 “I’d rather you didn’ts” I have come to one sole conclusion, FSM is awesome and a purely valid religion. I found out about this yesterday and I want the Gospel of FSM already, I am going ot buy it very soon from the local bookstore. I wanna try my hand at preaching in my Pirate Gear (Which im going to have to buy soon), i think I could get at least a few followers. Hail FSM!
“Also, there are the numerous miracles and relics such as the cloak of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the apparent intervention of God in everyday matter.”

Not to mention Jesus’ face in a piece of toast. You just never know when he is going to show up!
WaY to spread the word guys, keep up the good work! RAMAN!!!!

wtf?. Colin. i deny god. i deny it till my throat is sore. i even challenge god to prove me wrong - go on god i dare you! as for your numerous miracles and relics? you mean you find something that science cannot 100% conclusively explain. so god did it? i despair for the race i really do. get yourself out of the dark ages and think for a change. it is no different from the gambian dictator who claims he can cure HIV with a magic medicine and prayer, and kicks anyone out who doubts him. - actually that sounds familiar, believe in me or i kick you out… wonder where he got that idea from?
.
gods intervention in everyday matters? i read the news. he is curiously absent from most of it. where they all bad people? do they all deserve pain and suffering? even the children?
.
as for the traits, i’ll stick with intelligence, you can stuff your faith up your…..
@Navigator Spider
BAH HA HA HA HA HA!! Very nicely said, a joy to read as always. Gald you’re back!
I shall have to do this…The word must be spread!
.
MTV likes to film at my school..perhaps next time they should come…I’ll have something organized *schemes*
.
Our mascot is a pirate. I believe it is a sign!
Awsome work guys, respect from Birmingham in the UK
May the sauce be with you all
@Navigator Spider
I second Batmans praise for your post and welcome for your return. Blessed by His noodly appendages are us pirates and wenches who have been given The Gift of Intelligent Thought.
I’ve gotta say, I support you guys, most of all for your tolerance and self control. This issue isn’t about god or no-god, it’s about the way people act on their beliefs. I am an atheist, but I have no issue with someone who wants to believe in god, so long as they have no problem with me. Hopefully what FSMism really promotes is tolerance and having a bit of fun in life, the people in the above pictures certainly seem to be, and why not? Who wouldn’t laugh at dressing up as a pirate and standing on a street corner handing out pamphlets. I love the laid back and ultimately happy approach. Hopefully both christians, atheists, pastafarians and any other group will follow this example.
haha
you people rock
my socks
I’m soooooo doing that
thanks for the idea mateys
Ramen xxxxxxxx
you know….I came across this page a little while back….
today I saw this “missions” trip to downtown springfield…to which is my hometown, but what I can’t tell is whether or not if this is a mocking to other religions due to the fact in your replies you all say “woo hoo this is fun or yea go for it…..” or if indeed you believe in this so called “Flying Spaghetti Monster.”
Those “EXTREME” people (I will not call them Christians even, because who really knows if they are….that is not myself place to say) are not right by all means to be shoving Jesus down someones throat, because it all comes down to building a relationship and living out by your actions……
But being a mockery of them and not respecting their views, you will never gain their respect and allowing a chance to discuss your views with them by doing what you did on that night…..
So I guess my real question is do you all think this is some game just to make fun of other’s views and religions by incorporating some “FALSE” god or do you truly believe and feel that there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster that can truly died for you the way Jesus did…..so that you can have eternal life?
Just wondering? a little confused….
@(r)(a)(c)(h)(e)(l)
We believe in freedom of religion. That is we should be free to prctice our religion and if the xtian religion creation story is to be taught as science, then the FSM creation story should be taught also. After all our heaven full of beer and strippers is way better than a throne and a few angels playing harps. Don’t you think?
May you be touched by His Noodly Appendage :))

Hello Rachel - welcome to the site.

” do you truly believe and feel that there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster that can truly died for you the way Jesus did…..so that you can have eternal life?

I honestly believe that Jesus did truly die! It’s stuff after that where I have a problem.
RAmen!
Brilliant! I feel so inspired! His noodly appendage hath passed through solid foundation and touched my heart! Long live the FSM!
