A spoof religion that worships pasta is to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights after being turned down as an official faith by officials in Poland.

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster -whose members call themselves patsafarians - say they will ask judges in Strasbourg to rule on their right to exist after being rejected by Poland's Ministry of Administration.

"This is not the end. Most religions were persecuted at the beginning of their existence.

"We declare that we will bring a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg," said the group in a statement.
Patsfarians emerged in 2005 in Kansas, USA, as a parody of organised religions.

Physics student Bobby Henderson launched the movement - which claims the universe was created by an alien made of spaghetti - after local education officials allowed science classes to teach creation theories instead of evolution.

The case could get a legal boost from Austrian pastafarian Niko Alm, 34, who won the legal right to wear his official religious headgear - a colander - on his EU driving licence picture.

"Is our faith is good enough for one member state, surely it must be good enough for the rest," said the Polish sect.

First of all, we are not a spoof religion. We are dead serious, just like Christians, Muslims and Guru Maraji followers.
Secondly, we don't worship pasta. We worship the invisible, undetectable entity who created the universe and all it contains. It just so happens that it somewhat resembles spaghetti and meatballs. Stop spreading lies about our faith

Lies! He is not made of spaghetti, He vaguely resembles spaghetti. He created the universe, He must be worshipped!

Also, why don't they teach children about how his noodly appendage created the universe as part of the school science curriculum? Why don't we teach spaghetti religious knowledge (SRK) in our schools? After all, if we teach children the bedtime stories in the bible and Koran, we should be willing to tell them the truth about where we really came from. The Noodly appendage theory has just as much evidence backing it as the Christian creation myth. Why are governments discriminating against the one true religion?

We pastafarians will never abandon our struggle. We will fight for our rights. We will fight until all false religions are vanquished, and pastafarianism rules the whole world!

Shooo!!!! This is serious oo. May God save our souls and have mercy on our minds......

Noodly appendage things... lol.. funny story...

Agreed to the bold part but a Cafeteria would have been a better place to worship Him instead of the Church...

Exactly!

The Flying Spaghetti Monster made the heavens, and the mountains, and the trees, and the midgits. All other gods are but bullsheat before him.
