gregmon writes "An Austrian follower of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has finally won the right to don the religious headgear of his choosing (a spaghetti strainer) in his driving license photo. After a three year battle with the un-enlightened Austrian authorities, Niko Aim can now wear his colander in all official photos."

    I only have a fairly basic 'flaw' which can be corrected (google images "penal scrotal webbing") this is 100% caused due to an operation I didn't want, need or have a choice in.

    It's barbaric and stupid, how anyone DARES think they have the right to make that decision for someone else is fucking beyond me. My parents are forgiven, they weren't to know but it's 2011 now and shit like that needs to stop.

    People defending it saying it reduces the chances of disease are fucking retarded.

    ...mock-religions.

    Which is... wait for it... to mock religions. ReligionS. As in plural.
    Not "one sect's beliefs". That would be religious bullying, which is the first cousin (on its mother's side) of religious persecution.

    Besides. Every religion out there already has its own methods and channels for that particular activity, on sect by sect basis.
    Mostly based around claims that everyone else who is NOT a member of their sect is going straight to hell.
