(2,884 posts)1. This is proof Pastafarianism has its place in the 'Interfaith' group
Now that our blessed religion, Pastafarianism, is 100% legit, performing the holy bonds of noodly matrimony, what else is there that distances it form other religions?
Outside of the difference in time our respective religions have existed?
With this decision about marriages, the only thing that keeps 'Interfaith' closed to our Holy Religion is bronze age religions privilege.
