It seems all fun right now, but wait until the FSM’s chosen people, pirates, begin congregating and loitering about the area. I see trouble on the wind, mateys . . .
It looks temporary with that wooden pedestal. Any plans to put up a bronze or stone one that will last for centuries? :)
Is this really a success for the FTM church? As far as I understand the idea of the movement, they would rather like authorities to reject their demands, so that other religious groups’ demands would also be rejected. This case actually gives other groups legal ground to have their own statues in public.
I just hope this isn’t April Foolery. That would be a shame.
This would be great. If the church of FSM gets recognition like this, I look forward to teaching Intelligent Pasta Design in biology.
asuming it’s not an april fools joke…
It definitely was not an April Fools joke. I live about an hour and a half from Crossville, TN and was planning my own pilgrimage. Apparently, it was only allowed to stay on the courthouse lawn for a short time. By the time I made it there it was already gone. I can’t remember the URL but I found the “creator’s” site and encouraged him to take it on the road (or at least bring it to Knoxville).
let them put up this statue, it wont be ME burning in hell. Let this happen, and why not let men have sex with donkeys? Or take meatballs as wives? This could be the end of America and the Judeo Christian values it wasnt built on
post 6 and Korgan have something in common but read on, as i have said before Jesus is the only way and the life and no man can live on bread alone but every word of the living God. I did not say this i just copied it and pasted it so please Korgan don’t look to me but the one that sent me. But when will the offenses end? it will end with me because it is not from me. does this make any sense? but i hope you find the below a good read, though.

This has made me very happy. I myself am a Pastafarian and love to see that the word of His Noodly Appendage is spreading far and wide!
The official website is http://venganza.org/
Lindsey, much pasta be upon you and on your dinner table. Thank you for spreading His noodly Word.
RAmen,
Korgan (Founder of the Secret Ravioli Sect)
brothers and sisters- In Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Let us always look to Him for He is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ-the author of our life.
Re post 11, that’s yet another example of what an asshole your (mythical) god is.
Here is a better list than what is in Hyrocket’s annoying and idiotic spew, of the horrid evil of the Hebrews section of that god’s bible.. Shit like this: Those who disobeyed the Old Testament law were killed without mercy. It will be much worse for those who displease Jesus. -Hebrews 10:28-29, essentially.
In contrast, The Flying Spagetti Monster is not only peaceful (except for the occasional pirate gambit), but edible.
And furthermore, the FSM exemplifies and delights in the fact that Religion is ridiculous.
Korgan, i praise God for you for He is showing me how Glorious His ways are and my ways sinful. I will follow the God of Penny and Georg for the righteousness is He. Yes the contrast is so clear when adjusted by Him- alone.
Thanks again Korgan(i mean this in the love you understand)
The hyrocket-bot has already been dealt with in prior posts such as this one. No new material, just more spewing of the same old unsupported nonsense, is in its latest posts.
Religion is ridiculous.
that’s it Korgan, are you old, are you unsupported, are nonsense. as a cab goes on the chassis, it could be new or old but it is supported and does make sense. where are you going today? and i hope you don’t crash because what is love and where do you “get-it”.

Religion is for the ignorant, the gullible, and the stupid, and for those who would profit from them.
I myself am a member of the church of Clyde, the almighty purple Grasshopper. I seek no dispute with the Pastafarians but instead wish to welcome my noodly brethren.
Alcari you are saying 100% right.
HAHAHAHA that is hilarious!
I do have one question though: was the Flying Spaghetti Monster originally supposed to be a fake “religion” used to mock the ideas and faith of real religion, or is it a legit religion with followers?
Praise his Noodlyness!
Yay! This is awesome for his mighty noodleness. I can’t wait to make a pilgrimage to go see him. Wow, I already feel healed just thinking about his awesome majesty!!! LOL
I have not seen this God of the atheist-Richard Dawkins; I wonder if he prays to his creation. Logic and reason can only exist if they are based on a constant; if anyone would actually study what scientists say is “real,” will find that that “truth” only lasts untill the next new discovery. Please donot preach the atheistic doctrine (according to the US Supreme court, atheism is a religion)as though it is constant; logical; or reasonable. There are so many wholes in the doctrine of “Science,” that it could not hold large rocks. Ignorance is bliss. Science is only the study of how God does His work anyway; and we are only just begining.
Ralph, nice try at pushing your delusions on the rest of us and way to not understand science.
“Atheism is no more a religion than not collecting stamps is a hobby.” -appropriate quite, from Dawkins, I think.
How’s your flat-round earth doing, and how are your mustard seeds taking hold? Riden in any fossil fuel -powered vehicles lately?
Ask some questions. Break the chains. Be free of religion and other superstitions in 2012.
for all the people who donot believe, jesus is the only way, truth and the life. straight up let God be true and every man a liar, with out jesus christ you are going to hell straight up, so you will find out.People try to tell u that jesus loves you,but yet when God punishes lawnessness and evil you get mad. Fall on your knees and repent and get over the stupid man-made fables and believe in the Lord jesus christ go read the bible and open your eyes please. Jesus sacrificed himself for you, and all u have to do is believe on who he says he is, but the cross sounds like a bunch of foolishness to those that are perishing. WAKE UP!
God must quite the asshole if he’d send you to hell forever for stuff you did wrong in your short life on earth. How could that be fair punishment? And how is it that he needed to sacrifice anything if he’s a god.
Here’s why: god doesn’t exist. Religion is a fucking joke. Get a grip on reality.
honestly if you are going to bash me, them bash me. but donot go and make an account with my name to make me look as if iam crazy or something, says one thing about God then another. Its the truth that’s why you have to use my name, you don’t people can see what you are up too, get thee behined me satan in the name of Jesus

Okay I’m sayin this once and for all: for all YOU WHINY BITCH CHRISTIANS who always cry that atheists come to your message boards and videos and harass you, this story has absolutely nothing to do with you, does not mention you in any way, and yet you still come to an obviously atheist site and preach your nonsense. You don’t get to play the martyr when you seek us out to hassle us. Notice that your god’s wishes and judgements are coincidentally exactly what you think they should be. Are you god’s Personal Advisor on the Problem of Atheism? Hmmm? Or could it be that people just hear what they want to hear and always look for someone to judge to feel better about themselves? Your religion is a cancer on the earth and I wish you could here how stupid you sound (no, you’re not gonna have the last laugh when jesus smites me, cuz it’s not gonna happen.) Retards.
