In the Pastafarian religion, the Second Condiment states:

I'd Really Rather You Didn't Use My Existence As A Means To Oppress, Subjugate, Punish, Eviscerate, And/Or, You Know, Be Mean To Others. I Don't Require Sacrifices, And Purity Is For Drinking Water, Not People.

Given the obvious implications of this statement, how will the SCOTUS deal with supporting other religions such as this one?
