  • [ATTACH=CONFIG]152156[/ATTACH]Austrian atheist Niko Alm supports the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a joke religion conjured up by atheists who say their make-believe stories are no better or worse than any traditional church’s. In 2008, to make a point about his faith’s sanctity compared to others, Alm asked to wear a pasta strainer on his head for his driver’s license photo. Austrian citizens are only allowed to wear headgear in state IDs for religious purposes, so Alm, a Spaghetti Monster “pastafarian,” argued that a colander is his “religious headgear.”

    This week, after avoiding Alm for three years and even making him submit to a psychiatric examination, the Austrian government caved. Alm now has a valid Austrian drivers license, complete with colander.
    Score one for the freethinkers. Now who will be the first to try this on in America?

    Now that’s religion!!

    Bah I thought he was gonna wear it on all the time…

    Personally I don’t see a problem with it, though I aren’t religious myself so… Hmmmm

    It’s all very well for these joke religions to have their fun, but when will us true believers in raptor-jesus be recognised? 😥

    Personaly I’m a Jesus Falcor man. [ATTACH=CONFIG]89816[/ATTACH]

    He he he was just thinking Fesus Jalcor LOLLOLOLO

    EDIT*
    I forgot I have him in my signature

    Brilliant! We need more people like him in the world man.

    We need more jesus falcor too

    Defo mate, especially if he keeps manbearpig at bay! I’m guessing from the whole manbearpig thing & daftfader’s ‘beefcake’ quote on his food mountain photo yesterday that you 2 are big south park fans as well then?

    Haha, Indeed. I think the whole community love SP. I know Gazza set up a group for man bear pig’s hunting party a while ago. I love southpark. Team america is amazing too. Some people don’t like it but I think its great.

    South park comes in my top 5 things to do during the day.
    1, Make some tunage
    2, Play battlefield 3
    3, Listen to some tunes
    4, Watch South Park
    5, Have a late afternoon nap

    Read something somewhere that if your half Italian/half Jamaica and you believe in the FSM (flying spaghetti monster) your labelled as a Pastafarian. hehe.

    Nah I still haven’t seen it. I’ve seen clips of it, and at random parts they do voices from south park like mr garison etc. Another great one is Orgazmo. It’s soooo fucking funny. Trey parker plays a morman who ends up knocking on the wrong door and becomes a porn star.

    Ha ha, quality mate. I’m gonna have to get my mate to try & find that for me, looks funny as.

    Pastafarians are not atheists. There is no formal NEED to wear a pasta strainer for atheists.

    Atheists have themselves noted, that without a silly uniform, especially a hat, they have an uphill struggle to be recognised.

    Now I have been totally assured that in at least one US State, the official holiday for Atheists is April 1st. Turns out to be bullshit.

    i read the flying spaghetti monster book 4 years ago, it’s pretty funny.

    pastafarians are agnostic or atheists though… have you read the book pat? it’s a joooooke.

    No. But I must admit, I laughed all the way through “The God Delusion” by “Donkey” Dawkins. What a silly man! Gives loads of ways to attack religion (like trashtalking, ridicule, bombast) and then goes all defensive and squeamish when the same tactics are used on HIM.

    Sorry, if somebody claims to be a Pastafarian, then denies the existence of “The Flying Spaghetti Monster” then of course, they are hypocrites and not really Pastafarians at all. If you can’t play by rules, don’t play the game. They wanted recognition, they got it. What they do with it is up to them. But I cannot expect any to respect my beleifs if I don’t respect their beleifs. If it turns out that they don’t actually have beliefs, then of course, they lose my respect for having attempted to deceive me.

    (hint – having a dry sense of humour means, you don’t laugh at gags very often.)
