		<description>I completely agree a FSM &quot;church&quot; should be started. Who is the government to say what is and isn&#039;t a religion? In any case, it&#039;s a large, worldwide community that should be supported.</description>

		<description>Wait... there is really something to this!  An FSM church building (with tax-exempt status and everything) should be established, and this &quot;parchment&quot; should be placed in a Torah-like scroll holder at the front!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m much more fascinated by the role of the midgit in the drawing than the flying monster! Who is the midgit? What is he doing in the drawing? Why is he there? Is he an atheist? Does anyone care?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It&#039;s very simple. The Gospel says: &quot;In the beginning, the Flying Spaghetti Monster created a mountain, some trees and a midgit&quot;.  Since our theory of Intelligent Falling (gravity is a lie) tells us that His Noodly Appendages are what holds us down on the earth, and that they also make us short, the midgit is obviously specially blessed.  This theory also explains why people have historically been increasing in height - as there are more and more of us, the Noodly Appendages are more spread out and cannot push us down as hard!

You&#039;re starting to sound like a heretic. I&#039;m pretty sure mentions of &quot;midgits&quot; are a part of the Apocrypha, rejected by the Council of Some Guys in 2006 A.D. (Al Dente)</description>

		<description>The drawing should be claimed to be 2000 years old like the Shroud of Turin is claimed by some.  If the Christian can have their fake religious item, so can the Pastafarians.</description>

		<description>You know...I agree. While I know the Smithsonian comment was a joke...I think it does deserve museum status. 

A pastafarian museum would be at least as much fun as a creationist museum...and infinately more credible.</description>

		<description>It should be placed in a golden ark and carried by the pastafarian priests into battle. 

I think if they did so and circled Westboro Baptist Church 7 times, the building would fall down.</description>
