Though understanding the basis for the comedy, seemingly Pastaferians may not be truly compared to members of a deeper faith given the edible nature of their deity. For what alternate purpose might their god serve? Is it a creative being? Is it a giver of laws? May it be used to extort others with its dire warnings and predictions? Or is it merely best suited to be served with side order of bread?
If so, how might it compare to a real deity? How might the analogy be helpful?
