Today's gathering was held in the same place where last week members of the Muslim community had gathered to hold public prayers in protest against a decision by a local council to block a permit allowing a large garage in Santa Venera from being used as a place for Muslim gatherings - a move which had been interpreted by some as a statement of assertive intent by local Muslims.Īs a result of that gathering, the government agreed to grant the temporary use of the Ospizio in Floriana for the local Islamic community's Friday prayers. Pegida-style protests against Muslim community Henderson had argued that intelligent design and his belief "the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster" were equally valid. The movement traces its roots to a January 2005 open letter written by Bobby Henderson, then a 24-year-old Oregon State University physics graduate to the Kansas State Board of Education, who were considering teaching intelligent design as part of biology lessons. Pastafarianism began as a social movement promoting a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism. This item was written with the assistance of AiG’s research team.The organisation was expected to request that the government amend the Constitution to reflect an acceptance of the group's peaceful beliefs, the addition of Talk Like a Pirate Day – an important feast to the CFSM – as a public holiday, together with subsidies for Pastafarians on pasta, mince, tomatoes and garlic purchases and for the government provide “kitchens and dinner tables were we can celebrate The Boiling as a congregation.” These requests, however, were not made this afternoon. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying, As the Apostle Paul says in Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” We need to be equipped with the armor of God ( Ephesians 6:11–17) and stand solidly on His Word, refusing to compromise with man’s ideas, so we can remain firm in this spiritual battle.
What this highlights is that it’s a spiritual battle that we’re fighting. We’re seeing freedom for so many different things in our culture today, unless it is a Christian trying to live by biblical principles! All of a sudden the rules will change for Christians.
#WHAT IS THE PASTAFARIAN BIBLE CALLED LICENSE#
Now, sadly, while Pastafarians are being allowed to wear colanders on their heads for their driver’s license photos, Christians’ rights are increasingly being denied. In fact, this “ church” arose out of the anti-Intelligent Design/anti-creationist movement. That’s the whole point of the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its followers, Pastafarians-to mock those who believe in God. This is ridiculous and, really, all that this woman is doing is mocking religion. she was allowed to! There’s a law in Massachusetts that you can’t wear anything on your head in driver’s license photos unless the head covering is for religious reasons, so this woman argued that her pasta-following counted as one of those religious beliefs. Well, this headline seems to be real, and it’s just absolutely ridiculous: “ Pastafarian Woman Gets to Wear Strainer on Head in License Photo.” It’s just another example of how far our culture has drifted from biblical authority and even from basic respect.Īpparently in Massachusetts, as has happened in other states, a woman who is part of the so-called Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster claimed that she should be allowed to wear a colander on her head in her driver’s license photo as part of her religious beliefs-and. It seems half the time when I see headlines in the news I have to wonder if the story is even real satire, or misleading. Here is the Fox News headline: “ Pastafarian woman gets to wear strainer on head in license photo”
