Amen, and pass the Parmesan.

My husband and I were watching the news the other day, some sad story about the Middle East, and he asked me a question I couldn’t answer.

(Yes, that happens occasionally… though I’m loathe to admit it.)

And as one does when searching the internet for information, the husband fell down a digital rabbit hole while trying to distinguish the difference between Sunni and Shiite Muslims… and what started out as a simple search for an answer turned into a wild journey of discovery through various world religions. Including one he’d never heard of –

Pastafarianism.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Pasta.

I could do without a stripper factory in the afterlife but I’m okay with the beer volcano.

Clearly they’ve given this a lot of thought.

Though I don’t think the headwear is very flattering.

Poland?

If the Nantucket RMV allows it, who am I to argue?

  2. We live in Florida, so there are also these guys around (I think) and everyone and everything else. It is probably the most diverse cultures, interests, etc., that I have lived in the states although I don’t recall hearing about the flying spaghetti monster. The more I hear about Europe, I less I realize I know. Note to self-must visit again, one day.

  9. Sunnis believe that Hazrat Mohammad was the last prophet and next one will be Harat Mehedi. Shias believe that his son in law, Hazrat Ali, was the last prophet and consider him at par with Hazrat Mohammad. The rituals and many beliefs are different between the two sects.

  11. Have you read up on how/why the religion started? You’d really (legitimately) like that part!! Overview: When Kansas made “intelligent design” part of their school education. This guy said, “Well, if you’re gonna teach one belief, you have to teach them all… and I believe we descended from a flying spaghetti monster.”

    There’s also a part about the decline in pirates being directly inverse to the rise in hlobal warming and, thrrefore, obviously connected. Ideally, the religion is only preached while wearing pirate garb.

    We have a year-end holiday, called Holiday, that runs from roughly Canadian Thanksgiving into January.

    I’ve had an FSM medallion on my car trunk for nearly as long as the religion has been around. I love when people recognize it!
