   I haven’t read the book; and I haven’t seen it in any hotels yet either. Does the FSM offer life after death? That is the main thing I am looking for. I will have to admit that I used to have religion that offered that, but it was to unbelievable. After all, what God would give a person such a marvelous brain, then ask you not to use it.

   I live in Oregon (USA), the Goll Darn greatest state in the union. It is also fretfully the least churched state, but hopefully that could change with this new FSM scripture being realized and written here.

   Does anybody want to start a FSM Church here in Oregon? Maybe we could find an old un-used church complete with the Michaelangelo(speeling?) painting with his nOOdleyness!! I here the tax breaks are fantastic. We could have spaghetti feeds and have a faith based program for getting say math users and alcoholics of those nasty drugs.

   Markus,
   .
   I admire your enthusiasm. You really should get a copy of the Gospel, or The Word as I like to call it. It will anser many of your questions.
   .
   Is there a FSM heaven? Yes. It has a beer volcano and a stripper factory.
   .
   Does anyone want to build a church? As outlined in his “I Really Wish You Wouldn’ts”, the FSM would prefer we not spend money on building churches/temples to His Noodly Greatness when that money could be better spent feeding the starving, housing the homeless, or improving the quality of American made beer (OK, I added that last one).

   Markus you should take heed of OneEyedJack (a fine piratical title to be sure), having plundered a copy of the Gospel (or The Word) or as it referred to here The Treasure Chest of Wisdom. I cannot recommend it highly enough, a fine tome for perusal between voyages.
   .
   As further evidence of his noodly love and constant attention to our needs i believe the FSM has already heeded Jacks pleas and improved American beer, you can plunder it easily, it’s being called British Beer and there are many varities, all may be correctly termed Grog, although most are somewhat darker and stronger than the beer plundered elswhere and have a long track record of sustaining pirates on long voyages…

   may ye plundering be bountiful and ye wenches buxom

   I don’t know about building an actual church. How about renting an abandoned drive-in theater? Or, we could converge on the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disney World, and we could all astrally project ourselves there at the same time. Hmmm…. I’ll have to think more about that one. If spending time online at this website constitutes as attending church, I’ve been more of a churchgoer over the past month than I have in my entire life up to now. I’ve been redeemed and saved by the blessed touch of his noodly appendage! Even though I’m a good SaucyWench, though, I don’t really speak Pirate well. I guess that’s the next step in my conversion to complete wenchhood.

   His teaching have left me in doubt of my place in the eternal universe for I am a reformed sinner! Can I hope to enter His kingdom when I die for I have done much to offend Him.

   I grew up catholic, I served in the Coast Guard (which hunts pirates), I don’t really like beer.

   On the plus side, I DID marry a stripper. Does that count for anything?

   Wow, Duneman… a pirate hunter. That is really unfortunate. Of course, pirates couldn’t be pirates without someone to chase them, could they? I offer that pirate hunters are also part of his Noodly Design.
   .
   I wouldn’t worry too much about Heaven. You said you don’t like beer and already have your own stripper. Sounds like you’re set.

   Pull up a chair and have some pasta.

   Ok…thats Really degrading and all. I’m a guy…but still, how do women expierince your “heaven.” Not everyone just wants to get some. (Not that I’m among them!) I also don’t get how pirates fit in.
   Nor do I believe this is a true religion, just a played out joke. Please help me understand your “noodly” ways.

    BTW…I’ve actually read more about your religion. You know…some of it makes sense. Amazing what just 5 minuets of reading can do. BUT STILL…please explain the slighty sexist in my opinion “heaven.”
    I do belive most of your religion makes sense. Heck, I might go get this “Gospel of the Flying Spaggheti (spelling?) Monster.”

    Actually, Someone, as a girl I’m cool with the stripper factory concept. (The major reason for that is, there are male strippers involved. Male strippers=happy me)

    ohhhh…wow. Hem…if your Gospel didn’t have so much language in it…I would buy it. I think his noodly appendage has graced me. I think you guys (and gals) are right, Christianity has a creator but we have no obvious proof of him…and hes just a little (sarcastiacally) selfish. He wants me to be perfect…but then lets me sin??? WTF?!
    Noodly ways are SOOOO much better.

    Whilst it is probably right to do what your parents (the masters of the homely ship) say up to a point, do not be downhearted, firstly you’ve found your way here - and we’ll raise a toast to that with some grog, and secondly you’ve got the gospel to look forward to.
    .
    plus, there’s just as much silliness here as in the gospel

    I don’t know how I should tell my family I believe that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created us all and that heaven has a beer valcanoes and a stripper factory. They are mostly Christians and will probaly be upset that I have been converted to Pastafainism.
    Not like I really care what they think. *Laughter*

    @wwfsmd at least you are thinking now. Keep thinking and asking questions. Always ask questions and find out the truth for yourself.

    Theres now a rapidly accumulating theology, and I was wanting to compare notes.

    The Purple Oyster (of Doom) is a renegade meatball responsible for all the evil in the world, who has refused to accept His status as a meatball (though he was meatier than the rest).

    The FSM forms a Divine Binity with the Invisable Pink Unicorn - the FSM grew out of one of His own appendages when the IPU stepped on it (the IPU could not previously be sure of its existance, because non-existance is part of its essence, so in fact She still isn’t sure, but the FSM is good evidence).

    The spot where that happened is marked by the Sub Orbital Teapot; whose spout represents the FSM, whose lid respresents the hoof of the IPU, the tea the tomato sauce and the teabags the meatballs. Everything in the universe orbits that point, in orbits which can only be described as, noodly. All this of course just supports the virtue in dedicating oneself to the tea-drinking pirate lifestyle.

    Should anyone doubt the existence of the FSM, imagine the most noodly thing you can - a real thing is more noodly than one which doesn’t exist. We call that none-can-be-more noodly-than, the FSM.

    Renegade theologians are out there.. pasta be upon Him..

    If you’re a Christian reading this page, don’t be daunted. Just because pretty much no one here believes in the Christian God doesn’t mean He’s not real. I’m not gonna be presumptuous and pretend I know the real truth, but it really doesn’t matter if God’s real, as long as you believe in Him. The difference between believing in Christianity and Pastafarianism is that with Christianity you can be guaranteed a happy life. It’s possible that we’re both wrong, but who really cares? No one can say they honestly know the truth by evidence, but if you have faith and believe anyway, it’s not too important what credentials you have.
    I read YarrFysh’ post and it kinda pissed me off. I’m not even too strong a Christian, I’m still exploring religions, I lean towards Christianity because I have no reason not to. The only thing I know for sure is that there’s something out there that we don’t understand, because our logic defies itself at times. But when someone like YarrFysh claims to know for sure that God doesn’t exist and that spurning God leads to truth, he’s only asking for bad things. For one thing he may be taking the wrong path, there’s really no telling, but when he doesn’t even know for sure then it pisses me off that he would try to lead others to follow him. If God is real, which is possible, then he’s pretty much burning his bridges, and if God isn’t, then it really doesn’t hurt him to not say anything, so why not shut the hell up. You’re not leading anyone to happiness or “truth” or anything at all, really, until you can say for sure that you know the full truth and exactly why everything is the way it is and back it with undeniable evidence. It’s pretty much proven that you can’t, so you might as well stfu.
