Since then, the Flying Spaghetti Monster has gained countless followers worldwide, although there are those who remain spagnostic.

...and yet No kids are kicked out of school for wearing a crucifix, star of david, or the like.



Fucking Hypocrites.

Can we start a FSM religion based school?

File for tex exempt status.

I would love to see a tax exempt church of the flying spaghetti monster.

You know, I am a Reverend...

Forget all of that, aim high--have actual broadcast channels about nothing but FSM/Pastafarian propoganda blasting 24-7. Make sure, just like the Christian channels, that the transmitters are so powerful that even those getting no stations whatsoever will be able to pick your station up even without an antenna hooked up to your receiver, and because of a law about broadcast, your channel will have to be carried by the local cable companies.

I wonder if some huge thing will come out of this, I sure hope so it would be great fun to see how they spin this so that it doesn't make them look hypocritical.

The hardcore ones dont mind being hypocritical. Because in their minds they arent. Their religion is the true religion therefore, other religions are fake religions.

 

[LordKOTL]

I think the biggest thing is that they will claim that the kid's religion is a "mockery" and not a real religion, and as such, it shouldn't be taken seriously. Which, to me, is embarassingly hypocritical.

 

[MassHavoc]

Holy crap, we could totally start a church.



Does anyone know what the base legal requirements are?

The group that Ordained/Registered me is Universal Ministries and according to their verbage, I can start a "ministry" in whatever faith I feel represents me.



Still seems weird that I've legally married 5 couples... and performed ceremonies for 3 Hawk's fans couples.

So what kind of little outfit are you required to wear or do you get to pick?

God, I saw the first words of this thread name on the front page and you had me totally freaked the **** out thinking that it was International Talk Like A Pirate Day and that I had somehow missed it. But then I was like, wait, that's in the fall and the reason I know that and the reason I look forward to the day in the first place is because for years now, Librarything always wholesale translates the entire site into Pirate speak. I LOVE seeing my profile page in Pirate speak. Don't scare me like that asshole.
