Of course it's a joke, just as the image of Satan as Pan is a joke. The idea is to make powerful, destructive forces seem silly, so people don't believe they exist.
<-- does that look scary to you?
Would you believe there are lip-service Christians who say they don't believe Satan works in the world today? That only shows that he has succeeded in his greatest fraud -- convincing people that he doesn't exist.
In the same way, the Pastafarians, by and large, have
no idea they are worshipping Yog-Sothoth. They think, just as you say, that they are making fun of the "idiotic and ignorant" 78% of Americans who are Christian, a demographic including most business leaders and politicians. But I guess the latte-
serving Pastafarians are ever so much more advanced than the folks who can afford to
buy a latte.
In actuality, by putting Yog-Sothoth's symbol on their vehicles and their doors, they are helping him to enter the collective culture in a fluffy-bunny form. This will make his entry into our dimension easier; they will call to him without realizing it. Even unsuspecting Christians, seeing and thinking of the symbol, will call him.
We can only pray that the 2012 elections, the instituting of a Christian Theocracy, and the immediate banning of all "idols" and worship of all gods other than God will come soon enough to obliterate this demonic threat!
