You’re **supposed** to question pastafarianism. That’s the whole fucking point. There’s a whole subsection of the religion where they incorrectly correlate global rises in temperature with the global reduction of pirates. You’re supposed to say, “wait a minute, you idiots, that’s a stupid fucking argument because correlation doesn’t imply causation” and then I guess you become enlightened or something.

Or at least, that’s one way to use pastafarianism. The other one is to use it as a springboard to loudly proclaim “bullshit!” and then to loudly remind everyone about how all other religions are equally bullshit, too.
