Pastafarian Prejudice

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is in the news again. European Pastafarians are going to court for equal rights in the EU. For those who are unaware the religion, which is well loved here on WU, came about in response to intellegent design being taught in some schools. For the curious here is the wiki page on Pastafaians and their religion.

Good luck European Pastafarians!

No worries.... the EU has declared carrots are fruits, caused 50,000 lbs of kiwi fruit to be destroyed because their average diameter was a couple of millimeters off (it couldn't even be donated to feed the hungry), and most recently, decided that they could/should rip off a chunk of their population to 10% of their savings. So... accepting Pastafarians isn't even a bump in the road.

Sure, why not? Better a religion that admits to being odd and says it does not take itself seriously than one that insists it is not odd and takes itself seriously. Like the Scientologists. They're always good for a laugh.

We here at WU should start a religion for the tax breaks. The main premise would be:

The lack of pirates is clearly driving the bank failures in Cyprus...
