    Yes, I believe consciousness is largely a mechanism for retrospective excuse making. For some reason, giving ourselves a consistent, linear narrative is of huge comfort to us.

    This process of linear narrative (i.e.. memory) is also why it is so difficult for us to accept that time does not work in a linear fashion.

    I'm going to laugh at you jokers when, in two thousand years, people are committing genocides based on how well done noodly appendages should be.

    Like Cloister the Stupid and the colored amusing hats for his donut diner you mean?

    Exactly, or any of the cargo cults that are awaiting John Frumm.

    What about people fighting over which noodle god is the right version? I can see Ramen and his chop sticks of enlightenment gaining a lot of popularity.

    One would think that Italy would be the first to endorse his noodle-y appendage.

    True Story! I swear. On another MA forum, a few years ago, a guy started out of the blue arguing about forks being more efficient than chopsticks. Tried to cite physics and all. :p

    Got all mad when the rest of us laughed at the whole thing and it became a running joke on that forum.

    I know you are joking, but some people WILL argue about anything just for the sake of ego and arguing. They really will. So is it any surprise they argue about whose God is better?

    The starch wars of 4317: al-dente sect vs extra-floppy sect.
    The second starch wars of 4372: Tomato sauce sect vs Cream sauce sect.

    (If both of those actually happen, I insist that (a) they be named as laid out above, and (b) that I be recognized as "The starchiest prophet of the 21st century".)

    What a sad day -- Pastafarianism is not a protected religion in Nebraska prisons. :( :cry:

    :pirate: :pirate: :pirate:
    We cannot tolerate this, especially in an election year. I demand that RLUIPA be amended to allow prisoners to dress as pirates!!!

    The case is Cavanaugh v. Bartelt, 14-CV-3183 (D. Neb. April 12, 2016), 2016 WL 1446447. It's a great read. :)

    Come to us in our darkness. We offer you these false gods. Take them and cast your oven light upon us. For the fridge is dark and full of left overs.

    Cult is a controversial term that has divergent definitions in popular culture and in academia and has been an ongoing source of contention among scholars across several fields of study
