My friend, Roger - Who Was Voted "Most Likely to Made a Judge and Wear Nothing Under His Robe" in Law School - sent me this article: Religious Scholars Mull Flying Spaghetti Monster. It prompted the following email exchange between us:
Roger:
This is awesome!!I finally have found a religion I can identify with.I'm going to be a Pastafarian.
Steph:
Perhaps, but you forget that one of the tenets of the Catholic faith is its primacy as the One True Faith. Thus, any "new" religions simply take that second place equally with Methodists, Jews, Mormons, and fat Pagan chicks wearing too much patchouli and owning too many cats.
Roger:
Oh...and does your deity go well with a nice Chianti???
Steph:
Only when He makes it Himself from water.
Roger:
touche my friend.Which raises an issue...what is God's chosen varietal?
Steph:
Chateauneuf-du-Pape, of course.
Roger:
Sigh...should have seen that coming.

This sounds like a variation of the cult of the great prophet Farquart & the coming of the Giant Hankerchief in the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (The prophet does appear in "Restraunt at the End of the Universe"
