1. He used his noodly appendage to alter how people view him
He's over the publicity.

2. I still wear my pirate garb.
I am a true believer. I just don't have to bash people over the head with it like fundie christians do.

3. I'd actually encourage you to bash disbelievers over the head.
TV is getting boring, and this would be a nice change.

6. FSM will triumph in the end. Look at how many more pirates there are now than just 20 years ago.
His noodly appendage will reach over all the earth and hug us in its pastarific embrace!

4. Because unlike most Christians, FSM followers have no need to be smug 24/7
Being humble and secure in one's faith is not something most Xtians seem to comprehend.

Most Xtians never want you to forget for even a MOMENT that they're saved and chosen and special and bless-sed. I suspect it stems from deep-seated doubts that they're really being hoodwinked, but if they just believe hard enough in Tinkerbelle, I mean Jesus, it will somehow be real.

5. Perhaps the FSM needs something similar to the Chick Tract.
You just can't go around having a religion with secure believers. It simply won't last. I worry for the FSM.

7. I've heard he was eaten at the Olive Garden. Probably a communion thing.

8. The FSM eschews Olive Garden,
Edited on Thu Jul-30-09 07:06 PM by MineralMan
considering it a false sect, incapable of proper preparation of the sacrament. Try the place called Tony's or Guiseppe's or Luigi's in your town. You will find the proper FSM sacrament there. Do not be deceived.

10. FSM proved to be a false diety. Ceiling Cat is the one truth.
