When “anything goes” – nothing matters. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Nihilism ~
A student at Texas Tech University appears to be the first American to have his driver’s license photo taken — and to successfully obtain a driver’s license — while wearing a pasta strainer on his head.
The student, Eddie Castillo, pulled off the stunt by claiming to practice Pastafarianism and belong to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, reports KLBK.
Pastafarianism is a satire. Its proponents seek to illustrate their belief that government should avoid promoting any single religion.
The purposefully preposterous religion originated in 2005, notes the Daily Mail. A guy named Bobby Henderson concocted it (along with the Spaghetti Monster, the belief that pirates are gods and much else) while he was fighting against the inclusion of intelligent design in Kansas public schools.
“It was created as a form of satire, but it shouldn’t be taken in a sense that discriminates or disassociates other religions, and it should be looked at as a political symbol for the separation between church and state,” Castillo explained.Source: Daily Caller
Regardless of what Castillo claims his actions represent, by pushing past any values/morality/beliefs that used to be held in common he’s demonstrating that for him (and unfortunately millions like him), NOTHING actually is TRUE everywhere and for all times.
This is where society ends up when transcendent Truth is jettisoned.
