Pastafarians are atheists with a sense of humor and that’s quite rare among the God-haters & Divine-deniers.
Let them wear their collanders in peace and may the Nothingness be with these lukewarm bags of temporarily organized sentient protoplasm.

“militant atheists are so obsessed with a thing they don’t believe in - namely faith - that they spend much of their time thinking up creative ways to mock it. This makes them feel clever, superior, and better than the neanderthals that believe in a higher power. “
Nice description of the Spaghetti Monster buffoons.
Can the Jedi religion be far behind?
It is funny, no matter how much liberals like to pretend that there’s an separation of church and state vs the reality of an establishment clause (oh, hey SCOTUS, how’s your new religion working out?), the truth is, no court, ever, should say what is and what is not a religion.
A government of the people does not do that.
Hope this one gets tossed... ‘It is not the business of the courts to determine basic educational guidelines, talk to your elected representatives if you want a law changed to suit your mood, case dismissed.’
Looks like no hookers and beer volacano for the judge
I’m not all that comfortable with federal courts arrogating to themselves the right to determine what a real religion is and what it isn’t.
Will a Muslim judge one day determine that Islam is the only real religion? I can totally see that happening, and at the pace civilization has been breaking down, probably not as far in the future as one may imagine.
They were all fondled by the FSM’s noodly appendage.
Next they need to take a look at Xenu and operating Thetans.
What are the smarmy jack-wagons going to do now!?
However the proper term for somebody without either a belief there is a God or a belief there is not a God is "agnostic". If we used the word "atheist" as another word meaning this, we would lose having a word for somebody who believed there is no God.
But why does it matter? Why do Atheists want the term atheist to include agnosticism? The reason is because Atheism is so damn hard to defend intellectually, and yet if they call themselves "agnostic" then openly mocking religion as stupid is harder for them to justify. So they need to equivocate on the term Atheist to mean either agnostic or what it really means, according to their current purpose.
