THE COLLANDER... IS E-M-P-T-Y
LOL
Captor is had the Church of Monday Night Football because they worshipped football and and watched religiously Monday nights. It got status. :-)
Mock all that is good and traditional. Used to be, you’d wake up dead for that.
A rare moment of sanity from the Federal Courts.
May this judge be abducted by space aliens and probed with un-lubricated instruments for his transgressions against the FSM.
What do you call a lawyer who graduates at the bottom of his class?
- Your honor.
Islam isn’t a real religion either.
Another phony “religion” - scientology. Claimed to be a religion for tax benefits. It’s a fantasy invented by third-rate science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard.
And neither is Scientology.
It’s about time.
What about the direct link between pirates and global warming? Try to disprove that Judge
we will have lots of fun joking about this, but the judge had no authority to rule that way
(its a violation of the free exercise clause and, arguably also the anti-establishment clause, plus...)
this amusing case ruling will be overturned (note: all religions contain some rather incredible features, that’s why we use words like “believers” and “faith” and, for that matter, “mysteries”.... if the courts start ruling BrandX Church to “not be a religion” then they can rule your church to not be a religion, too)...(we see quite a number of critiques right here on FR about other peoples’ faiths... but at least we are private individuals discussing these matters... and NOT the GOVERNMENT passing RULINGS about them! That’s extremely dangerous for us all...)
it is simply not the proper function of the courts to “pass” or “fail” on religious churches or their teachings
we get some weird churches as a result, but at least every person is permitted the “religion” of his/her choice (free will)
this is what our Founders provided for us. so far, its worked better for us than I think any other country’s system on earth...
imho.
Drat, I guess it’s time to get rid of the colanders. And to stop buying those long thin noodles.
I don’t know if I can live with this disappointment.
When will Congress find that Islam is not a real religion, within the meaning of the First Amendment, but a cover for totalitarian socialism, genital mutilation, rape, decapitation, dismemberment, and fecal distribution via the left hand?
Whether a judge should be deciding this depends entirely on the legislature. If the legislature has laid down some specific criteria, which Pastafarianism fails to meet, then it would be legitimate for a judge to make such a decision. In the absence of clear legislation, then the judge is legislating from the bench.
