When you get your photo for your driver’s license taken you are not allowed to wear a hat or head covering unless it is for religious or medical reasons. One Austrian follower of the satirical Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster won the right to wear a pasta strainer on his head on religious grounds for his driver’s license.

Pastafarian Niko Alm, follower of the One True Flying Spaghetti Monster, won the right to appear in his driving-license photo with a pasta strainer on his head after it was formally recognized by Austrian authorities as “religious headgear.”

It is a satirical jab at Rastafarianism. All FSM works out to be is a myopic picking on religion. In reality, there is nothing about FSM that reflects religious teachings. God is said to be infinite and formless, not finite and formed. God could not be spaghetti, a man or anything else because God is said to be formless. In Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica he writes: Perhaps not everyone who hears this word "God" understands it to signify something than which nothing greater can be thought, seeing that some have believed God to be a body. Yet, granted that everyone understands that by this word "God" is signified something than which nothing greater can be thought, nevertheless, it does not therefore follow that he understands that what the word signifies exists actually, but only that it exists mentally. Nor can it be argued that it actually exists, unless it be admitted that there actually exists something than which nothing greater can be thought; and this precisely is not admitted by those who hold that God does not exist.
No, sorry Thomas; people who do not believe in God are actually people who don't put in the time or effort to understand what you are even talking about. They are people who misinterpret what you are saying and believe God to be a body and so satirically parody it by conceiving of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as if it somehow paralleled your views on God.
They aren't talking about "Rastafarianism" They are talking about "PASTAfarianism" with a P. Pasta as in SPAGHETTI As in FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER. Lighten up, man.
