find that kind of humor insulting. The Satan thing, though, it's repelling but also compelling. Because most of them believe in Satan they wonder why would anyone identify as a Satanist? They might actually click & check it out from a revulsion factor, like looking at a car accident. Also, I'm not sure the Pastafarians could get away with claiming that if Christians can put up a manger scene in the public sphere, then they should be able to put a plate of meatballs, whereas I believe the Temple has already successfully challenged & won the right to display their own statue.
