Heaven: Beer Volcano and stripper factory, And the flying spaghetti monster is there

Hell: Beer Volcano And stripper factory, Except the Beer is warm and the strippers have STDs

(this is probably why alot of countries are reluctant to recognise us as legit)

It was created to contest the boundaries of what is a religion, In my country, People who are not Catholic, are, shall we say, Looked down on by some members of society, And I was previously an atheist, Our school system teaches Catholicism as a mandatory subject. In second level education its called "Religious Education" They do teach us about other religions but its 90% Catholicism, My school didn't put up much of a fight and I was given and exemption, But my Religion teacher doesn't know yet that Im a Pastafarian. I joined because, Like many other people, I just wan't to have an answer to questions like "are you religious?" Living in a Catholic Country, When your an Athiest, You feel alone, But when you have a Religion which was literally created to poke holes at Christianity, I feel alot stronger when standing up to the system and refusing to participate in catholic practices

Actually yes, We is encouraged to wear strainers on our head for Passport photos, Drivers licences, e.c.t. Though we are not always allowed in countries that don't recognise us as a true religion. It is our Official headgear.

Most people either dismiss me as stupid or are so ecstatic about learning about such a thing they won't stop coming back for more information about the religion. I've avoided telling people that may have a problem with me being a Minister, but i'd say the U.S Embassy might have a problem when I walk in for my passport photo with a strainer on my head...

all pasta is treated equally <3
