Quote:The Dutch just got a new religion. It involves a giant deity who's fond of flying spaghetti and people who wear colanders on their heads.
We often think of technology and religion as distinct and separate worlds, but what happens when they converge? Join Robert and Joe in this two-part episode as they examine religious world views shaped by technology, such as John Murray Spear’s electrical messiah, the simple prayer wheel and the psycho-spiritual technologies of Scientology.
Yep, "Pastafarianism," which sprang up in 2005 in response to the Kansas State Board of Education's decision to allow intelligent design to be taught as an alternative to evolution, has gotten more legit.
The Netherlands joins a handful of other countries in recognizing the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the brainchild of one Bobby Henderson, a then 25-year-old physics graduate from Oregon.
All of this noodle news led us to wonder what constitutes a religion. Does a religion need a deity? How old does it have to be? Where does Pastafarianism fit amid Christianity? Or the Church of Scientology (which is official in the U.S.)? Or even Dudeism? Speculate along with us in the video above.
Ramen.

I wonder if those with celiac disease can sue them for intolerance on those who cannot eat gluten

That's a completely different thing
Like Catholic and Baptist have their own churches.
Gluten and Gluten-Free have theirs...

So different denominations within the Pastafarian church, eh?

Instead of varying scriptures, one would have a flying ravioli monster, one would worship bowtie pasta...

I'd have preferred Clarence. But Keanu works too.
