Russian Pastafarians fight back!

After a recent confrontation with the Russian Orthodox Church over a "Pasta Parade", where the church rang the cops and got the Flying Spaghetti Monster worshippers arrested, the Pastafarians have launched a fight back. This being to sue the Orthodox Church (that'll go down well with Putin I expect).
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has emerged as an unlikely challenger to the Orthodox Church in Russia. Last weekend, Russian “pastafarians” gathered in Moscow with their religious equipment: namely colanders. As a result, eight people were taken to the police station after a “Pasta procession” in the center of Moscow. Orthodox activists who called the police said that glorification of the Flying Spaghetti Monster hurt their feelings.

ROC proved extremely hostile to us. They attacked us and called the police and said that our actions were not authorized by authorities. Now we prepare a lawsuit. This is not a joke. This is hostile action in relation to another faith, a stirring of religious animosity. - See more
How dare they criticise His Holiness! I claim religious offence! Sue the fuckin ass off them oh fellow Pastafarians! We stand by you in your struggle for acceptance and inclusiveness!
