The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

I thought nude pictures weren't allowed...

This is what I thought


EDIT: I have a NationStates issue that relates to this!

Vocal members of the Moral Minority have been complaining and petitioning the government about the new art gallery displaying several provocative nude portraits by several famous artists. Moral Minority members claim these pieces of work promote prostitution and indecent sexual acts.

The Debate

"Stop my children from looking at smut! These artists are only perverts pretending to be artists! Think of the children!" says Stefanie Better, proud member of Parents Promoting Purity. "These artists are only going to rouse our innocent children to commit grotesque acts of immorality! Get rid of it all!"


"Well, I see that point, but we certainly don't need to ban inoffensive art, still lifes of inanimate objects, and such," says your sister, Doris Suzuki. "Perhaps we should set some guidelines for what is acceptable as art and what isn't. Artistic renditions of people getting it on are one thing. A bunch of fruit in a decorative bowl is another entirely."


"That is censorship!" says noted art history teacher Jake Falopian. "You can't ban art! It's freedom of expression; it's part of our culture. If anything, the government should be supporting these artists and their work, not listening to these prudish whackjobs who are scared of a little bare skin!"

Then by that logic, museums shouldn't keep/should censor the statue of David in display

i believe there is a difference between posting historical works of art containing nudity (additionally, this picture is also christian imagery, which... makes your post look strange, to say the least) and pictures that consist solely of pornographic content

that said, it would be better to drop this and continue on with the original topic

I strongly agree with this post.

That's the gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Go forth and buy it somewhere and read it.

Also, this was created back in 2005, so you're kind of late.

Nudity = bad for the viewers


Also, I don't believe this. I follow Christianity, and always will.

(it's not a real religion)

Okay, so I just found out about today, and I've been laughing the past few hours about it.

Basically, there was a guy in Kansas who was angry that a school was trying to teach evolution and intelligent design and, in protest, requested them to also teach a fake religion he made up.

And so began Pastafarianism, a religion that worships the almighty prophet the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who created this world. From what I've heard, they say "Ramen" after their prayers, so this is already the best religion ever.

Well a good amount of people on here have never heard of it, so no harm in spreading the love.

It's probably the only religion I would believe in

the reactions to that image are absolutely stupid and being a christian does not involve you being scared out of your butthole from nudity.


Anyway this is hilarious, while i myself wouldn't follow it, it is quite comical.

Wasn't that picture painted for a cathedral anyway?
