  == Several unverified claims that Pastafarianism is a parody == The Polish Pastafarian society kindly asks the editors to remove several insulting expressions from the article. This includes: the word 'parody' from 'Touched by His Noodly Appendage' description. I would recommend to use the word 'reference', as it was obviously influenced by 'The creation of Adam'. Would you say that several Christian holidays are 'parodies' of pagan rituals? No, they're just influenced by the former traditions.
