First, I want to congratulate you for honoring everyone's religious freedom. I have suffered discrimination all to often in the workplace environment due to my own religious beliefs :-( . I am a member of the church of FSM (Flying Spaghetti Monsterism). We are not as mainstream as some of the other organized religions you have heard of like say Mormons, or The Church of Euthanasia, but we are one of the fastest growing religions in present times. Just like many other religions, as a Pastafarian I am obligated to adorn my body with specific garments and do-dads that please our god (the Invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster) who is constantly watching us to make sure we are following our age old traditions that have been passed down for well over a few years now. As a dedicated Pastafarian it is paramount to follow these traditions so as not to piss off our god the FSM. Even though he created the entire universe, is all knowing and all encompassing, he is prone to fits of jealously from time to time and riddled with insecurities. That is why to make sure he knows that I am truly enthralled by his unending manipulation of all realms including the space-time continuum, I must regularly adorn my body in full pirate regalia. Head to toe, from my swashbuckling boots, to my eye patch and the Macaw Parrot on my shoulder. In the past, employers have been less than receptive to my religion :-( . In this day and age you would think that people would be more tolerant of religious freedoms. Having been touched by FSM's noodley appendage it is my responsibility to wear full pirate regalia to do my part in combating global warming. It is a sacrifice no doubt, but us chosen few are more than ready to make this sacrifice for the good of the world, Everybody already knows that there is an undeniable correlation between the decline in the number of pirates world wide and the rise in global temperatures. This is an indisputable fact. Having been enlightened by the FSM with this knowledge I must go forth and swashbuckler AHOY! Yaaaaaaar matey, best baton down the hatches when religious discrimination is afoot!
But I digress..... You know at one time I was a professional digresser. But before I speak on the time period in which I was a professional digresser, I would like to tell you about the time when I was a professional digresser. It was the summer of 1995 and I had just purchased a Volkswagen "Thing". It was as red as marinara with black stripes and....oh wait, lets get back to your lady with the dress thing.
In my professional opinion, she should be allowed to wear whatever religious garments or do-dads she wishes. If the invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster wills it, then so shall it be. If the FSM wishes her to be sucked into an enormous machine and mangled then who can stand in his way?
I would like to end my contribution to this topic with a prayer;
Our Pasta, who “Arghh” in heaven, Swallowed be thy shame. Thy Midgit come. Thy Sauce be yum, On top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day our garlic bread. And give us our cutlasses, As we swashbuckle, splice the main-brace and cuss. And lead us into temptation, But deliver us some Pizza. For thine are Meatballs, and the beer, and the strippers, for ever and ever. RAmen.
