A new religious schism

It seems that over time, every great religion becomes afflicted with schisms and divisions, and the appearance of heretical doctrines. And now this may be happening to the newest great religion: The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The traditional sauce used by the faithful has always been a red sauce, generally marinara. But now there are dissidents in the church who say that a white sauce (mushroom or clam) should be used instead. If this comes to a war, the sides in the fight will obviously be called the Reds and the Whites.

Besides these main branches, there is another heresy: there are those who say that the pasta noodles should be wide and flat, and arranged in layers, with sauce in between. They even advocate putting excessive amounts of cheese between the layers. The adherents of the Lasagnanist Heresy even have a song used when preparing the sacred dish: "What a Friend We Have in Cheeses".

O Great Flying Spaghetti Monster: Reach out with your noodly appendage to protect your church from heretics, and lead the faithful back to the path of righteous dining.
