A surprising display of pastafarianophobia [View all]

As you pastafarians and friends of pastafarians know, this group is brand new.

We haven't had time yet for grand, majestic threads detailing our creed, launching a contest for new pastafarian hymnals, reviewing seriously which beers should be served at the great beer volcano in the sky or starting internecine fights between opposing pastafarian subsects.

And yet, 6 people have chosen to already 'trash' this group, i.e. make sure not to see what we post.

That is interesting, and begs some questions: What do these people think?
- that their own faith is now competing with ours, and becomes the enemy? (religious war posture)
- that their religion is holier than ours? (superiority complex of the bronze age religions)
- or is it weakness?

Could it be that such people fear that reading about a new religion would, by comparison of equally unsubstantiated claims abouts cosmology and morality, weaken the certitudes they thought they harbored?

If so, harken me hearties, the pastafarian ship is charging full speed ahead.
