I read "Austrian" as "Australian" and figured no futher explaination was really needed.

Oh man that is so awesome and brilliant at the same time.

His noodly appendage works in mysterious ways, well maybe not so mysterious in this case.

Praise be to the all wise FSM.

I love pastafarianism. As an atheist educator, it's hard not to appreciate the spirit of a movement that pokes fun at creationism being taught in schools.

Guide to Pastafarianism

Codes of conduct:
# Prayers are ended with the word RAmen rather than Amen.
Benefits of conversion:
# Like the great noodles they worship, Flying Spaghetti Monsterists have flimsy moral standards.
# Promise of a stripper factory and a beer volcano in Heaven.

A rival faction, based on SPAM (Spaghetti & Pulsar Activating Meatballs), has formed and is calling for a Holy War against FSM. SPAMation claims to have the One True Letter to the Kansas School Board.

the great and allmighty atheist religion which teaches how the world was created by the flying spaghetti monster who happened to be drunk which thus explaines why bad things happen. the pastafarians follow the church of the flying spaghetti monster and when they go to heaven they will enjoy a beer volcano and a stripper factory, however in hell the beer is stale and the strippers have VD! in pastafarian terms agnostics are known as spagnostics and all prayers must end with RAmen. september 19th is the national talk like a pirate day and the religions founder Bobby Henderson has published a "Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster".

the 8 id realy rather you didnts are

1)I'd really rather you didn't act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don't believe in me, that's okay. Really, I'm not that vain. Besides, this isn't about them so don't change the subject.

2)I'd really rather you didn't use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don't require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.
3)I'd really rather you didn't judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, Okay? Oh, and get this into your thick heads: woman = person. man = person. Samey = Samey. One is not better than the other, unless we're talking about fashion and I'm sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.
4)I'd really rather you didn't indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is go f*** yourself, unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.
5)I'd really rather you didn't challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the b*******.
6)I'd really rather you didn't build multi million-dollar churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my noodly goodnes...

Shines a light on how absurd religious doctrine is. That's the real joy of it.

"I have to wear this hat!"

Guess the rest of us get to wear what we want too.

I have this bad feeling that some folks will embrace strainer-wearing as legitimate expression and Flying Spaghetti Monster will be taken seriously one day. It's all Poe, I'm afraid. Is Durum wheat, tomato sauce and ground beef shaped into bite-sized spheroids a gastronomic entrance point into immortality that much a gigantic leap from multiplying bread loaves and water into wine?

The only PROPER FSM headgear is this:
