I'm in.

What the flying noodle is that about?

Just as I supported the creation of the Interfaith group.

And that this was hidden in GD is just ridiculous.

Long since time we had one. There are ~15 groups in this area, 2 of them allow atheists, 1 of them is not openly hostile to atheists, and only one supports pastafarians. I can't imagine if someone wanted to start a mormon group, or a scientology group.

In fact having a blessed bowl now.

Cheese be among u.

Thanks for reminding me.

But a slightly different religion, and a slightly different type of bowl

OK, I'm in. Where do I sign?

Something like

"this is a safe haven for Pastafarians and members of other non-traditional religions to come together and discuss issues ....' blah blah blah

Also, remember that groups can ***EXCLUDE** Participation from certain members. Make sure to put it in the mission statement 'DU'ers who associate themselves with or consider themselves to be allies of mainstream religions (including, but not limited to Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Wicca, etc) are respectfully asked to not post in this group, as there are already ELEVEN other groups for you to participate in...."

just a thought

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]That is a brilliant idea!

Though, I was thinking of phrasing it like a pirate:[/font]

I'm joining this thing because of that

So I'm late as usual. But use my vote if you need to.

For the pirates!

...i was expecting this to happen after the thread rejections in interfaith & religion.

Do you really think sea biscuits can replace pasta?

And limes can replace pesto?



(and rum is second best to red wine with pasta)

Shirataki = made of yam

When everybody knows the great Flying Spaghetti Monster commanded us to only use wheat in memory of Him/Her/It.

As Berlusconi once told Hu Jintao "We Italians invented noodles"

Am I drummed out before I've even begun?

For the Flying Spaghetti Monster is all knowing, all understanding and all benevolent.

Plus I make up the theological rules as I go to keep the FSM Church as big as possible.

Just like the theologians of the other religions do.

but I too support creation of that group.

I think Pastafarianism serves a useful purpose in that it should remind everyone that someone out there thinks THEIR beliefs are nonsense/fake, too. Serves as a very important "check" when it comes to religious privilege and the role of religion in politics.

As we have seen on DU, many believers feel very threatened by its presence because it brings up important questions that were they to answer them, might just weaken their faith. So it's easier to attack and dismiss rather than actually have a dialog.

"...the big tourist. Her lie reflected my lie."

Not that i think Pastafarians are any less corre t in their belief than any other religion, but that seems to sum up their reaction.

...but there are some great quotes from FC.

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You go on ahead. It helps keeps this thread alive.

Though, as much as I hate to say it, it is looking like we have been turned down. I am hoping I am wrong and it is just taking them time to get together, or to make the group, or something. I am just going to remain patient till the end of the week at which point I am going to assume we received a pocket veto.[/font]

you can mock gays, women, trans people, Republicans, cults, Islam, etc. but if it looks as if you're challenging Xian privilege then you've stepped over the line.

I am Bob's raging bile duct.

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]I sadly must inform all of you....
























































Admiral Skinner said yes!!! [/font]

...oops...I meant... ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!

Great News!

Good Job L14E!

Sans fards.

My daughter took it to make fun of me.

Atheists....we're people too!

"Xcept we haven't voted yet to know if the Church of the Holy Flying Spaghetti should be a male supremacist church.

I mean, the other religions are, so it might help our FSM church to fit in if we follow suit, ain't it?

I mean, the 'tithing' theological argument is a trump card.

Now.... where's that pirate costume......

I'm in, matey! (I will have to be trained, but I will attempt to acquire most of my training by observation.)

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Here is my suggestion for an SoP:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1230&pid=42697

When it comes to rules I suggest we plunder the rules from A&A =P

As for hosts, we need to decide on how many and who. I would like to suggest having 3 hosts, and since he started this whole thing nominate Yorktown as one of the hosts.

If anyone disagrees, has their own nominations or has a suggestion let me know.

Edit:

Breaking news! This just in! Suggested hosts:

LostOne4Ever
Yorktown
A HERETIC I AM

I agree on the nomination of Yorktown as a host, and nominate YOU for getting it done.

...for the record.

...and apologies for not seeing your edit sooner.

Arrgghhhh....

Lordy....


When I read this I thought we had lost York as a host because he was really a heretic!


"Breaking news! This just in! Suggested hosts lost! York, heretic!"

...
"Lets eat Grandma."

vs

"Lets eat, Grandma."

- Tell me, little Tom, do you like your grandma?
- Yes, mum.
- Then take a second helping.

Nty, i gave up the host life.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster be my witness, I ALWAYS believed in him/her/it.

In the MOST orthodox ways: with pesto, or tomato/olive sauce, or plain with olive oil and garlic.

I DEMAND a pasta inquisition jury to clear me of all charges of pasta heresy!!

"But your Noodliness! Several witnesses saw him eating gluten free black bean noodles!"

They were wholemeal spaghettis. Look brown like black bean noodles, but they are true spaghettis.

May I roast in fried rice hell if I ever was a pasta-atheist.

HA!

I'm changing that to "pastatheist"


Pastatheist..... wasn't he one of the Argonauts?

I thought of it, but feared that on first use it would sound esoteric.

Let's codify the word in the future theological doctrine of the FSM forum

As for me, I don't believe in flying spaghetti monsters.

Enjoy, mateys!

Pastafarian postulate: pirate parrot => pasta paradise.

Pip, pip.
