I've decided to become a Pastafarian.

[ZombieNixon]

For a long time, I've been unsure of my religious orientation. I was raised Hindu, but I disagree too much with the caste system to call myself Hindu. I follow the teachings of Jesus (well, I try too), but I can't bring myself to call myself Christian because of Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell and their ilk. I'm not an agnostic or atheist because I do believe in a supreme being (or beings). I'm not Pagan because I'm asleep when the full moon is up, not outside performing religious services. In other words, there's too much about every already established religion I don't like. Until I was blessed by His Noodly Appendage. I am now a proud Pastafarian. Now I have to go by meself some pirate regalia.

All hail His Noodly Appendage!

6. I immerse you in the boiling water with a touch of olive oil

but first I must crack you in two to ensure that you fit in the pot and are completely immersed. I would not want one part of your soul to be soft and mushy, and another to be unpleasantly firm. ...

I will now throw you against the wall to see if your soul sticks, thus ensuring your complete conversion. ...

Congratulations, my child!
