“Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know⟳ this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like⟳ all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith.

“From a quite opposite perspective, an interesting departure of the 1990s (largely on the internet, and still flourishing) is the cult of the Invisible Pink Unicorn, which is at least in part a philosophical tool for examining the nature of religious faith from a skeptical point⟳ of view⟳.”
