An Austrian atheist has won the right to be shown on his driving-licence photo wearing a pasta strainer as "religious headgear".

if he is doing it to make fun of peoples beliefs, thats fucked up...


...but as just pure humor of using the religious excuse to wear ridiculous attire on your head... pure genius!




edit: Pastafarians... so he is being fucked up. These people annoy the **** out of me, since they did start out just as humor blew up into a huge group of arrogant people just like modern day 4 chan

 

So religious people just get special treatment?

I see no problem with it. If people can wear **** on their head in drivers license photos, why can't everyone else? How is that making fun of peoples beliefs, by the way?

 

Thats ******* hilarious. Ya think the DMV would let me ware a huge condom on my head (as in cranium), or maybe a huge "#1" foam finger signifying my religious belief that I'm #1?

 

Flying spaghetti monsters.

 

I just realized that Kotomile's avatar is a/the flying spaghetti monster.

 

Did not start out as humor:

From Wikipedia-

In 2005, Oregon State physics graduate Bobby Henderson wrote an open letter about a "Flying Spaghetti Monster" as a satirical protest against the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to permit the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in public schools.[4] In the letter, Henderson parodied the concept of intelligent design by professing belief in a supernatural creator that closely resembles spaghetti and meatballs. Henderson further called for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism to be allotted equal time in science classrooms alongside intelligent design and evolution.

 

Pasta-farian dude needs some slow-mo action on his head....

Drink a bunch of beers and watch this - sure to get you drousy...

 

The music reminds me of this (skip to 2:04 to hear it). Strange that this is 12 years old and I still remember it...

Even stranger is that it is the single most homoerotic thing to ever be created...and I still remember it.

 

All the hate for the spaghetti monster guy. I forget how sensitive religious types are when someone pokes fun at their beliefs and special treatment in society.

 

Thats the gayest **** I've ever seen, Bob....

That was not homo at all, I thought it was completely bad ***.

This might fit your description of "single most homoerotic thing ever to be created"


EDIT: I don't think this is homo at all. Maybe I am more tolerant and open?

 

 

I am against special treatment, but I am for social tolerance.

 

^ This is why I don't watch TV anymore.

(looking at Vipers post, damn you fast posters.)

 

Then what's the problem? The oppression of religious people everywhere is so terrible.....

I know almost all religions are renowned for their tolerance of other people with different beliefs.....

 

I have no problem with the humor, I think its hilarious!

But however, I really do hate those who cant keep their mouth shut when a religious person mentions one word of their deity, and it goes both ways... I show the same hate for those who preach when not needed or wanted.

 

Exactly as you said, it goes both ways. It sure as hell goes more the way of religion, that's for sure.

BUT, just as an observation, this is the wrong thread for a religion debate, isn't it?
