Phelps clan versus pirates

By a twist of fate, the Westboro Baptist Church’s protest at the National Conference of Editorial Writers in Little Rock fell on International Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 19). So the Fred Phelps clan was countered by some Flying Spaghetti Monster (in photo) devotees known as the Central Arkansas Pastafarians, who snarled “Arrgh” and held signs declaring that “God hates shrimp — Leviticus” and “God hates cotton-polyester blends.” As for what the Topeka-based Phelps clan has against editorial writers: It turns out we are “responsible for the satanic milieu in this evil land” and for serving the “satanic agendas” of “baby-killers and fags.”

    Somehow I doubt the Phelps were touched by the glorious FSM’s noodly appendages that day.

    MH…I should hope not! The FSM would have to either thoroughly wash or even cut off any noodly appendage that touched that filthy cult!

    As long as Parmesan cheese is present, I’m there. And I have never liked cotton-polyester blends. May your pastafarianess always be al dente.

    Shrimp, cheeseburgers, polyester/cotton blend. ALL an abomination!

    Not if there is meat in the sauce. That would make it another abomination (Leviticus)

    Thank God we no longer live under the Old Testament, It’s not what goes into the mouth that condemns a person, It’s what comes OUT of the mouth

    Really?

    “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”
    Leviticus 18:22

    “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.”
    Leviticus 20:13

    Just because Christians are no longer under the law dosen’t mean that the law isn’t true – If you want to see the NT perspective – you need to go to Romans chapter 1

    FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE — Revelation 22:11 Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy.
    12 Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
    13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
    14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
    15 Outside are the dogs, those who practise magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practises falsehood.
    16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.
    17 The Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say, Come! Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

    Let’s take all the cotton/polester blend fabric to the village square and stone it to death – you know, with rocks.

    We do not need and therefore should not ask for the divine intervention of the SFMness to defeat the phelpsian microhorde! All that is requred is a continual blessing of laughter whenever an apoplectic phelpsian face looks out thorugh the hole of their outhouse.
