Can Pastafarians join the RAF?
Can Pastafarian's now join the multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-sexuality RAF with a seive on their head?
Surely it is no worse than an RAF Chip Hat?
BBC News - Austrian driver's religious headgear strains credulity

Grabbers, that's awful, well pasta joke. And anyway, Pastafarians would not be allowed to join because there would be no way of pinning the cap badge on the sieve, and if the sieve was removed, the individual would be incapable of taking the strain of IOT.
No, Oxenos, certainly not - officers are now encouraged to use more modern hair products like gel. Peanut butter is far too messy and would attract flies if the Pastafarian was deployed to sandy parts. Also, the AFBSC would need to decided on the dress AP amendment re crunchy or smooth - perhaps smooth for parades and other ceremonial occasions, with crunchy reserved for No 2s?

Its a little known (possibly made up) fact that those hard-working chaps and ladies of Tactical Supply Wing are disciples of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
The weak and needy swoop in, they are touched by the disciples rubber-covered noodly appendages formed in His image and then those touched by His greatness swoop away fulfilled and ready to do good in the world.
Honestly, they are spiritual people and not for one second would they consider rimming the spare coffee mugs in the crewroom.

GK121, interesting to note that apparently global temperatures have been taking a slight dip over the last decade. Obviously this ties in with the increasing Somali pirate problem.
I think the only fair solution in our secular society is that all holey headgear should be banned in HM Forces.

Pastafrianism challenge 2005
This was a deadly serious challenge to the Kansas State Education board, who were seriously considering replacing the teaching of science with the teaching of Christian religion.The main tenants of fundamental Christianity are basically that :the earth is only 8 thousand years old, God created the Earth, etc, scientific evidence to the contrary is led by the devil, and that scientific research is also Satan-led. Its key-stone is that it is led by blind faith, not evidence -in fact, the search for evidence indicates lack of faith, and should be discouraged.
The Church of the Spagetti Monster fulfilled all the requirements of religion (including the fact that the Spagetti Monster was inebriatated at the time of creation,leading to errors in perfection, liked beer, and lapdancers), mainly because it was also unscientific and unverifiable, and bonkers in every way.
After the inability of the school board to differientiate between Christianity and the Church of the Spaghetti Monster, on the grounds of lunacy,science won:Flying Spaghetti Monster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
