Have You Been Touched?

... By His noodly appendage, that is!

I would like to take a moment to do something I've never done before... That is to witness. Forgive me, but when you feel as strongly about something as I do, it becomes a moral duty to share.

Pastafarianism is a growing religious movement with thousands of members. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) offers something for everyone- including Heaven. For those of us devout enough to hope to gain entrance to FSM Heaven have many glorious things to look forward to- beer volcanoes and stripper factories are only a few of the amazing rewards awaiting us in the afterlife.

Pastafarians in the Midwest walk a fine line and while many of our brothers and sisters around the world worship openly, we remain hidden- worshiping our Maker in secret.

But alas, I feel compelled by His presence and I must share His good news. In that light and in the spirit of spreading His goodwill. I share these photos from a recent FSM meeting (at an undisclosed location). Please note that names have been changed to protect the innocent as we still fear persecution. Until then we continue to pray that one day we can all live in harmony and acceptance- praising His noodly visage. In the name of Semolina, we pray... Ramen!

(We honor our Heavenly Beer Volcanoes and break bread together! Beer Volcano Communion was created by Reverend Brother Pocket Gopher and his spiritual sister and legal wife, Sister Doctor Ocelots.)

(Here we have a most creative expression of one of our most Holy joys awaiting us in the afterlife- the Stripper Factory. Complete with Strippers!)

(Sister Euphemia laughs, embarrassed by the great praise she earned honoring His Noodly Appendages with her art. Well done Euphemia, you made us all proud!)

(The culminating event of the evening was to create FSM shirts for each of our members in hopes that one day we will be free of persecution and may share or love of Pasta and all things Noodly with our heathen neighbors.)
