Question: Does the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster exclude those who are gluten intolerant? Is there no place for celiacs
These are more important philosophical questions that must be considered.
Could possibly lead to a breakaway sect possibly.

[alocky (Andrew lockwood)]

Not at all. Those who suffer from this affliction are comforted, and encouraged to appreciate just the meaty goodness of his meatballs and sauce.
There is no limit to the ways we may appreciate the FSM.

I have a gluten intolerant friend who is a pastafarian and is totally accepted and has been touched by the great Noodly appendage of the holist one

Thanks for that reassurance Ian. I was becoming concerned that the COTFSM may not be as holistic an organisation as first thought.

Do you have to jump through a lot of hoops to join, or do you just have to have a raviolition?

[barx1963 (Malcolm)]

Yes but since the Great Schism of 2006, the Reformed Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (RCOTFSM)has taken a much more fundamentalist line and regards Gluten Intolerance as a sign of the FSM's disapproval of those afflicted.
But the RCOTFSM are not real pastafarian's and are perverting the true word of the Noodly one!

This revisionism must cease. The CFSM is a corbohydrate and animal protein dogma which by its very nature excludes coeliacs. The very thought of buckwheat sends the strongest pastafarian into convulsions - as it should.

But I have discovered Russell's Teapot! In my search for the essence of the FSM, it has been made to appear to me - as in a vision splendid - that the true faith was pronounced by Bertrand Russell's discovery of a china teapot orbiting between Earth and Mars. And, as he bravely maintained, it is no more or less unproveable than any other mythology.

I urge all readers to explore Russell's Teapot. If you waver in your belief in the pasta deity, this may well fill the void.

How do you know it's pink if it's invisible?

[alocky (Andrew lockwood)]

What other colour would a pink unicorn be, silly??

Its aura is pink - meaning it has EMO.
Sounds very sane to me and unicorns are amazing rhinoceros adaptations (rhino meaning nose and ceros meaning horn) And if a unicorn had a reason to be called rhinoceros it would be somewhat lost in translation. (uni meaning one and corn meaning horn)

Ah! By mearly asking this question it is obvious that one is missing the essence of the entity

[Ryderscope (Rodney)]

I have another question. Instead of being baptised, are members of the COTFSM pastarised?

[jenchris (Jennifer)]

No but we are in pastaral care..
There are a lot of very caring ex uk members. A real case of Pom adoro.
