They wear colanders on their heads and describe their religion as "pastafarianism".

Now the adherents of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster have been approved to perform marriage ceremonies in New Zealand.

The application from the church was approved by the registrar-general of births, deaths and marriages and listed in the New Zealand Gazette.

Now that our blessed religion, Pastafarianism, is 100% legit, performing the holy bonds of noodly matrimony, what else is there that distances it form other religions?

Outside of the difference in time our respective religions have existed?

With this decision about marriages, the only thing that keeps 'Interfaith' closed to our Holy Religion is bronze age religions privilege.
