That could make an interesting separation of church and State case.

If somone can claim to be a "pastafarian" and wear a colander on their head as a "religious headgear", I am all for the Marine being allowed to wear his cap!
The article says he won the right to keep it on.

IMO, the difference is that the Marine Vet is probably rarely seen outdoors without his USMC cap.
Do the "pastafarians" normally wear their religious headgear at all times when outdoors? If so, they should be allowed to wear it for ID pictures. If not, they should be as they normally appear for their ID pictures.
simple, isn't it...

So, Georgia is now a police state.

Too bad for the folks residing there.

Of course they do. How else do they stop the lasers being shot into their brains? You know the ones that tell them to, "do things.".

I thought that was a joke. Is this a real story? I've never heard of any religion that has a religious headgear that worn all the time except maybe an Orthodox bishop. The Arabs head gear are not religious, only custom gear. Same for Muslim women who wear head and face coverings. Not required.
