Though I am considering returning to atheism and solitude again. As for joke; a good joke is classed as one of the highest art forms. Laughter, as we all know, has healing powers. It's full of endorfins. And that's good for you. I have for now put Pastafarianism as my religion on Facebook. There is absolutely no reason why it should be recognized on equal terms with all other religions and superstitions.
