as a religion in Poland.
A church that worships an invisible flying spaghetti monster can now apply to be registered as an official religion in Poland, after a 2013 court ruling was overturned on Tuesday.
A Warsaw court rejected a ruling by the Regional Administrative Court because the it had not allowed the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) a two-month extension for submitting outstanding documents, Polskie Radio has reported.
A group of Pastafarians who gathered outside the court shouting "pasta" during the hearing on Tuesday welcomed the ruling.
In January, Pastafarian minister Christopher Schaeffer was sworn into the Pomfret New York Town Council this week with a colander on his head throughout the ceremony to represent his unique religious beliefs.

I'm looking forward to some of us colander-wearing nuts to be allowed to do the swearing during the opening ceremonies for the town councils/whatevers. I think most of us have very good swearing capabilities and I would guess after a minute or two, so would the rest of the commisses.

Demeter
(85,373 posts)Okay, I read through Wikipedia.....
Since the Cult of Demeter is officially defunct, (although in the pattern of the neo-Druids and neo-pagans, there are still practitioners, especially this time of year in the Northern hemisphere, including me)
I am willing to affiliate with the Pastafarians, especially since pasta is made of wheat, Demeter's symbol.
Also, as a Unitarian-Universalist, I find nothing is incompatible.....and as a Pollack, I approve of the kluski!

When some cats in Poland start appropriating the name (and hair? Do these people put cooked spaghetti on their heads too to mock dreadlocks?) of an authentically Afrocentric religion, my spidey-sense starts tingling...
