An Open Letter To The Guy Who Tried To Get His Driver's License Photo Taken With A Pasta Strainer On His Head

Dear Guy Who Tried To Get His Driver's License Photo Taken With A Pasta Strainer On His Head,

Dude...you're kinda being a douche right now. Seriously. Knock it off, okay?

I know, you think you're making an Important Serious Point about religion, and you're pretending it has something to do with your religious freedom, but everyone knows that you're not really religious. That's the whole point of Pastafarianism. It's a satirical religion.

When it was created, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was brilliant an on-point satire. It was created in response to the Kansas schoolboard declaring that their public, taxpayer-funded schools should teach creationism as well as evolution. The point of the satire is to draw attention to the fact that teaching creationism in schools is a violation of the 1st amendment because for a government entity to teach creationism is for them to be respecting a particular establishment of religion over other religious beliefs - a serious constitutional no-no.
