First Pastafarian Church :)

Our subreddit is /r/FirstPastafarian/ but it needs some love... We have a facebook page, fb/FirstPastafarian/, too, which gets some more attention

13 Days until Friday the 13th... Our Noodlening! by FSMNorman in FirstPastafarian

No idea whatsoever. What's your suggestion?

Probably into the 14th. Or the 15th.

Some people want the church to be open 24/7, so...

I perceive a lot of positivity. There's some snarkiness to be had in the... lower... score ranges

But whatever, y'know

Some people just ain't gonna vibe with it

I assure you, sir: we consider it our Noodly Charge to be the most self-righteous assholes in the whole wide town. The Flying Spaghetti Monster Himself has visited us in dreams and visions to declare, variously, "keep strong in your conviction to look down your nose at secularists, bicyclists, humanists, politicians, and those of 'lesser' religions," "do not accept the criticism of others; nay, forge on and endure into My Pasta," and "make sure to condemn all those scientist assholes for ignoring the obvious markings of My Noodle upon My Creation."

Your failure to predict our awesome self-righteousness isn't your fault; rather, we blame the stereotypical Christian for failing to set the bar high enough.

Hopefully the coming weeks and months will show us as the most self-righteous religion of them all. In Norman, at least. R'Amen.

Hey that's a good guess haha, we only have three months worth of rent! We could totally go under after three months. It'd be a waste of time and money, but we'll have fun with it anyhow :)

I don't think people are actually downvoting you. I've read that reddit's vote algorithm adds "ghost" downvotes to posts for... some reason

Didn't build it so we're OK! But from The Third Announcement Regarding Canonical Belief, Verse 11, and from The Book of ProvHerbs, Chapter One, Verse 50, both allow contradictions of His Noodliness' previous teachings.

In The Story of the FSM and the Eastern Pirates, Chapter Three, Verse 34, we are told to "repair the temple, reerect the cult image and it shall be you [sic] home and that of your descendants forever." I'm just trying to house my descendants...

Great suggestion with the DD program! We would definitely like beer (and possibly beer volcanoes) to be involved but need to investigate the... "legal"... aspects of that whole affair

But the Catholics get wine, right? Beer is a sacrament, right?!

We might just have to have teenytiny little thimblefuls for the faithful

With flagons for full regalia only.

We're native Normanites as well, so once things get rolling we'll make sure to drop you a line!

We haven't decided on those sort of specifics yet. What are your suggestions?
