SPIEGEL Surfs the Web: Do-It-Yourself Deities - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News

What to do about religious radicalism? From Texas to Tehran, it's everywhere. Why not just invent your own religion? Or, easier for the less creative among us, join one that someone else has already concocted. Invisible Pink Unicorn anyone?

All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Let's review. We have radical Catholics preaching against the use of condoms in Africa, radical Jews fighting for their right to remain in illegally occupied territory in the West Bank, radical Muslims blowing themselves up in cities across the globe, and a radical born-again Christian (Pat Robertson to be precise) calling for the United States to assassinate a world leader. Is it any wonder that many are not terribly drawn to any of the world's leading faiths?
