    Default Pastafarians?

    Does a unicorn fartian count as a religion? I want to wear a horn ans a rainbow.

    Feel free to add your "humorous" motivational/meme.

    Pastafarian gets to wear strainer on head in license photo



    BOSTON — A Massachusetts agency is letting a woman who belongs to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster wear a colander on her head in her driver’s license photo after she cited her religious beliefs.
    Lowell resident Lindsay Miller said Friday that she “absolutely loves the history and the story” of Pastafarians, whose website says has existed in secrecy for hundreds of years and entered the mainstream in 2005.
    Miller says wearing the spaghetti strainer allows her to express her beliefs, like other religions are allowed to do.
    A spokesman for the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles says policy does not permit head coverings or hats on license photos, but exceptions are made for religious reasons.
    Lawyer Patty DeJuneas calls Pastafarianism a “secular religion that uses parody to make its point.”


    In this Nov. 12, 2015 photo provided by Darrick Fauvel, Lindsay Miller of Lowell, Mass., wears a spaghetti strainer to reflect her religious beliefs while holding her temporary driver license that also bears a photo of her wearing the colander. Miller said she absolutely loves the history and the story of pastafarians, who are part of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles initially forbade Miller to wear the colander in the identification photo. She said the agency reversed the decision and apologized.

    Don't really care. You can tell it's the batshit crazy weirdo under the colander when you look at the picture. Not at all like someone wanting to get her DL picture wearing a hijab. On second look at her photo, she should wear the hijab.

    Can't be proven accurate any more or less than any major religion, so I don't see why not.

    I've seen a few folks in the military with some creative religions on their dog tags, pastafarian included.
