paw-stah-FAR-
ee-an-ism n. the recent emergence of a
well illustrated and expressed “belief” that all existence was created by a Flying Spaghetti
Monster through the use of its "noodly appendages."
Person A: "This hilarious and satirical movement (called pastafarianism) came about after the
Kansas School Board moved to put spiritualist creationism on
par with scientifically supported evolution in
Kansas public schools."
Person B: "This movement/
definition (of religion) lacks the necessary mention of its reliance upon supernatural authority and thus the inescapable role of faith, which has been defined as having the purpose of "giving credence to things that never happened."
Person C: "Of course, there's bias inherent in that definition as well but, suffice it to say; the primary role of faith is to demand that
one ignore logic and suspend reason so as to accept things as true which violate proven laws of science and often have not a shred of supporting evidence."
