I am just wondering, as I am considering becoming a part of this "cultural phenomenon/religion"

There doesn't seem to be much involved in being a Pastafarian, apart from wearing a colander. It shouldn't be a big thing. In Britain we use "Jedi" to show sarcasm towards religion. This org from New Zealand (A Commonwealth country) takes the matter too far, in my view...
http://www.jedichurch.org/
Jedi started when non-believers started to put "Jedi" on UK census forms to show their displeasure with the wording of the census question on religion. It seemed to presume everyone had a religion and only mentioned "none" as an afterthought with the result that even I am counted as a "Christian" until 2001 and I've never been a Christian in my teenage or adult life.
Thank you for sharing your point of view.
It is official, I am (as far as I know) this sites first Pastafarian. Yes, it is the satireistical form, but the theists who come on to this site don't need to know that ;).
May you forever be touched by His Noodly Appendages

Trust me, no theist takes Pastafarianism seriously, or believes that a "Pastafarian" is anything other than a joker.
I expect there is more than one believer in the afterlife Beer Volcano present on this forum.
Methinks you may be right.

I always liked the Pastafarians and their tasteful use of humor and satire. Atheism can be fun. When I was in high school ( the '70s) a friend and I formed the Church of Provolonism. We were Provoloniasts worshiping Provolone cheese. We were dorks . However , one person did ask to join our congregation. There was only one requirement. She had to correctly answer this question : If you were in the Roman Colosseum would you rather be the Christian or the Lion? Our one pledge answered incorrectly when she said "Christian". I have always felt Pastafarianism complementary to Provolonism.
Arrr, methinks ye may be on te' sometin' ere'. But we still ave' our pirates!
@chimp3
I agree.
I think it was a good initiative to begin with, and a good idea to keep it going. I'm not much for the idea of dressing up in pirate clothes and such, but I have considered to become a pastor of the Church of FSM, just to be able to use the title of Pastor...
25$ is all you need. And your title (I do believe, unless the website misled me) would be ministeroni.
LoL :)
I know. Hey, if you all are in the mood for some pirate based hilariousness, read this thread here:

For that is "The Continueus Salty Tale" (an' it be a mighty funny read)
My friend invented "Frisbeetarianism". One of the beliefs was that your soul is like a frisbee, and when you die, it goes up on the roof and can't be fetched down again.
Why not. Just as ridiculous as any other religion, and as a bonus it is funny!
As an atheist i don't believe in any deity or his appendage (noodly or otherwise). However I find the pastafarians pleasant and amusing, unlike most religionists. Wearing a colander and being touched by the noodly appendage is whacked, but wearing a miniature torture device, practicing ritual cannibalism and being "washed in the blood" is considered sane? Oy vey.
Arr, ye be necro postin' 'n ah de'd topic. I be a patafarian n' longer.
