I'm on the mailing list for FSM and just a notification that charges for ordination will be going up soon! Right now it's a sweet 25$, with shipping thrown for free for the certification and handy-dandy ministerial wallet card. I'm not sure that there ARE any Pastafarian ministers in this area but am pretty sure there ARE some Pastafarians! I'm considering becoming ordained as a public service-also so I can challenge the city's nativity scene, should they ever decide in a boneheaded move to erect one, by putting up an FSM display RIGHT BESIDE IT.....(The town council is already on notice I will do so.)
As there is no actual sightings of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (that I know of) there is an alternative - The United Church of Bacon. Now here's a religion that i can really get my teeth into. (groan). Check it out.
Can i be church rector? Also, if you form a church, i understand there can be Substantial tax advantages...i could be bookkeeper too!
