| − | "Pastafarians" worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a flying pile of spaghetti and meatballs, by eating spaghetti and dressing in pirate regalia. "Pastafarianism" also holds pirates in high esteem, claiming that they were good men whose deeds were perverted by the media. This is similar to christian beliefs that [[liberals]] are taking over the media ([[Liberal Creep]]). They attribute [[global warming]] to the decrease of pirates, presenting graphs showing that global temperatures have risen over the past centuries in rough inverse correlation to the number of pirates. This is a critique on christian beliefs that global warming isn't happening, or is completely harmless, by using irrelevant data. | + | "Pastafarians" worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a flying pile of spaghetti and meatballs, by eating spaghetti and dressing in pirate regalia.
