I'll have to look to see if I can find a spaghetti strainer pin like that one fellow is wearing. It would be a good conversation starter! Or a pendant I can wear on a chain, like some wear crosses. Off to find pastafarian jewelry!
I found a flying spaghetti monster t-shirt on Amazon. I like to wear it when I know I'll be around fundamentalists. It's like my personal inside joke.
Fuck all religions, even the made up satirical ones!
Instead of the commandments, this one has eight I'd rather you didn't's. Lol. I read them and thought wow this satirical religion is instantly better than my childhood religion.
One thought I had when watching the documentary was this is a brilliant form of protest to religion; it seeks to ensure freedom of religion and therefore freedom from religion, but I could see its adherents start to take it too seriously. And then yeah to your point now we have another nonsense belief system people defend on faith.
But I also thought while watching the court footage that it's important for pastafarians, at least right now, to take their faith seriously because we can't have courts deciding that one religion is more true than others. If practicing pastafarians take their religion seriously even if it's origins were intended to highlight the ridiculousness of religion then how can courts rule that the laws and exemptions for religion don't apply to pastafarianism. What's their metric?
You've got be kidding, as if we don't already have enough belief systems.
Hey, maybe I can start my own and call it the Church of the Great and Revered Spud Murphy, ( the Sacred Potato).
At least we can offer 'fries' with everything....LOL.
It apparently started as a way to argue against teaching creationism in school.
Your post is a picture only, no 'story'
It's a documentary film.
@bragadm . . . posting a link to (some of) the 'story' is not difficult
