'Pastafarian' wins right to wear sieve on his head in driving licence photo (well, he does belong to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster)

Pasta strainers are now considered suitable religious headgear in Austria... at least as far as the transport authorities are concerned.

Three years after applying for a new driver's licence, an Austrian man has finally received the laminated card - in which he is pictured with an upturned sieve on his head.

Niko Alm was allowed to wear the unusual headgear as it is deemed a suitable accessory for his 'Pastafarian' religion, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

When I first heard the story curiosity got the better of me so I had a look at the Loose Canon, the FSM bible. They are nuts but there is something about the idea of the universe being imperfect because it was created by a supreme being after a heavy drinking session that appeals to my sense of humour.

So you want to be a Pastafarian

Great. Consider yourself a member.  You’ll notice there’s no hoops to jump through. You don’t need to pay anything. 

How to help the church

You can do that by spreading the word.  Tell people about Pastafarianism.  Point out that we’re the world’s most peaceful mainstream religion, having started no wars in our God’s name.  As far as I know there are no deaths attributed to our religion.

Can I be a member if I don’t literally Believe in the FSM?

Yes you can.  For the same reason that many in other religions don’t literally believe their scripture, you can be a Pastafarian without being a True Believer of our scripture.   In other words, do you know Christians who don’t take the Bible literally – but who consider themselves True Christians, nonetheless?  So do I.  In fact, True Belief is not often a requirement of religion.   Most religions are comprised of a group of people with similar – but not exact – world views.  Pastafarianism is no different in that regard.

Whatever you decide, remember this

FSM is a real, legitimate religion, as much as any other.  The fact that many see this is as a satirical religion doesn’t change the fact that by any standard one can come up with, our religion is as legitimate as any other.  And *that* is the point.
