I nearly found a new
god. I heard on the radio about the struggle of an Austrian Pastafanarian who
was recently challenged to remove his religious dress when having his driver’s
licence photograph taken. This was because he followed the Church of the Flying
Spaghetti Monster, a modern and novel satire on religion when an American protested
that Intelligent Design would replace Creationism on his school’s curriculum.
What followed is an internet phenomenon with many people dressing up as pirates
and taking to the streets to preach of this mock religion; where not much is
known as the creator was drunk at the time; but the ancient teachings of
pirates tell us that there’s a beer volcano and stripper factory in the
afterlife. It just goes to show that some people are asking for a line to be
called when people use religion and faith as an excuse for their behaviour; and
that everyone should be treated equally. But, if you fancy putting a colander
on your head (or spaghetti strainer as some call it as they see no other
purpose for that object), then be my guest and check them out.
