Pastafarianism

[keithpenrod]

I totally want to post about the Flying Spaghetti Monster on my Facebook profile and my blog and stuff.  But all of my family's Mormon, and most of the people on my friends list are religious and I don't want it to come across as trolling.  Has anyone else here proclaimed to be a pastafarianist?  If so, what kinds of reactions have you got? 

I mean, I wish there was a way to do it with the understanding that I'm just trying to be funny and that people should take it as a joke, not  as an insult. 

Oh, and that guy that claimed Pastafarianism as his religion just so he could wear a pasta bowl on his head?  Brilliant.  He's my new hero.

I suspect you'll find a lot of people here have been touched by his noodly appendage!

I think Old Git is some kind of high pirate in the FSM church, I don't know the details.
He is old enough to have sailed with the Dread Pirate Roberts.

I LOVE that movie!  I can't tell you how many times I've seen it.  We even did a skit about it in my first year of college.

I think a lot of your family who believe a guy looked in a hat and saw words might have the irony- so to speak- of the FSM, in all His Noodliness, lost on them for some reason.

Maybe if you cushion the blow by claiming the FSM was translated from the "lost" volume of Joseph Smith.  If you can sell them on the idea of a "lost" mormon manuscript you can pretty much claim it says whatever you want.  Kinda like Joseph did with the whole book of mormon.

No, I'm just a long-time Pastafarian, though not one of the original lot.

Welcome. keithpenrod, may you be blessed by His Noody Appendage and bathed in His healing sauce.

May I repeat here my proposal that we follow Venganza and Pharyngula in referring to the coming festive season as 'Monkey'?

So, would an "antipastifarian" be someone who is against the church of FSM?  Or someone who worships appetizers?

Would it help at all to know that you can insert "Pastafarian" into your profile here on this forum, in the same place where I, for example, typed "Stevilist"?

Actually, I really like the whole Pastafarian meme.  Don't be surprised if one day I join their saucy ranks!
