Dwight Schrute, aka Rainn Wilson, is “sick of spirituality having to be hippy-dippy, airy-fairy and uber-precious”.
Instead, he wants to take on life’s big questions, de-lamify talking about God & religion, and stop being idiots & judging each other.
Though what Soul Pancake is going to be all about is still mostly a mystery, and it’s still tough to tell how serious this site is going to be, you can at least start by uploading your “spatufist” to the site (the symbol of Soul Pancake), and see what others have done with their spatufist.

Current favorite? Major Richard Winters, followed by Vincent van Gogh and Ernest Hemingway (though Mohandas Gandhi is close on their heels, and God is always a contender).
Playing this game might send you to hell, but at least you’ll go there blasphemously happy. Bible Fight, a new game on the [adult swim] website, pits you against foe in a battle of epic proportions.
