Pastafarian Persecution in Canada

Pastafarian Persecution in Canada
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/10/pasta...-headwear/

Quote:‘Pastafarian’ loses driver’s license after refusing to remove spaghetti strainer headwear

Quote:“It was my impression that the West Coast of Canada was the most permissive and accommodating region in the entire country — perhaps I’m wrong,” Canuel explained. “People all over Canada and the United States are telling me they’re on my side, and are applying pressure.”

Montreal-based public relations specialist Everett Martin explained to National Post that Canuel had brought up a legitimate point about religious freedoms.

Fight for your rights, brother.

STand strong.

It starts with denying driver's licences and ends with mass burnings.

Just ask the atheists.

I am thinking most of the Pastafarian's are actually more observant and sincere than the scriptural cherry pickers clogging up christianity these days.

I don't know about that. I mean, they do remove their strainers and I have it on good authority that they occasionally go out for Chinese food...

What are the laws regarding Muslim women wearing such attire, which is dangerous obstructive to peripheral vision, in Canada.

If memory serves I remember hearing about a few court cases about this in (Every country) Canada, 'goes looking'................... first one back wins.

It is hard to take any christers seriously when they outright refuse to drink any deadly thing.

All pastafarians on the other hand, happily ingest massive quantities of tortellini to no ill effect.

And pastafarian Eucharist actually has nutritional value.

And it goes better with a good Italian red wine....preferably something from Tuscany or the Lake Region!

Ah the good ol' FSM. It's actually probably the best way of satirising the extremes to which religious 'freedoms' are endorsed and protected in more conservative countries.

I'm with you, min. Fight on brother.
