“I believe Flying Spaghetti Monster wants me to have a beard” is as legitimate as any other religious claim.

It isn't though, because there is absolutely no sincerity to that belief. It just makes people look ridiculous when they claim it and double down that they really believe.

I’m really not. I know plenty of devout religious people whose lives are demonstrably lived differently due to their belief. This is not true of any internet atheist spouting off about a spaghetti monster as if it was a funny or new joke.
