Am I the only person in the world who is both non-religious and finds pastafarianism unfunny?

Yes.....I think you are.....why can't you be more gluten-positive?.....

Yes.  And now you shall be shunned.

Do you feel the shunning?

I would admit to finding it unfunny, but if us religious folk don't laugh at it, then we don't get to sit at the cool kids' table.

Silly as it is, it's a legitimate comment on religion.  That's part of the reason it persists.

No.

No, it's not.  It's a childish attempt to belittle other peoples sincerly held beliefs. It persists because self-ritghteous liberal arts majors think it's funny.

Pointing out that unfalsifiable articles of faith can lead to absurd beliefs is the province of scientists, not liberal arts majors.  There is no strictly logical basis for rejecting pastafarians but embracing other religions

That you cannot grasp the logic does not mean the logic does not exist.

Please explain.

Maybe. (not agreeing, just not arguing the point)

But Pastafarians are overwhelmingly liberal arts majors, not scientists.

The strictly logical reason to dismiss it, is EVERY "pastafarian" I've met has thought it was a joke on religious people, and not a faith.  *expletive deleted*bag with the strainer on his head included.*

*Unless he goes through life with a strainer on his head at all times.  Which I highly doubt.

I'd suspect the FSM and Pastafarians only have as much power to insult/ridicule established religions as others are willing to give them.

QFT.

This thread isn't really politics.
