This is a tongue in cheek thing as the persons who "support" The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster think that most of our established religions are the equivalent of believing in a giant pasta based living entity flying in the sky. They don't really believe there is some actual pasta monster out there.
What Tom is saying to me is like someone actually believing in a giant pasta monster. As in they really believe there is a giant pasta monster out there and they think that it is a much more plausible story than god having an illegitimate child who was executed but came back so we can worship a zombie.
But let us take this farther. We are pretty darn sure about dinosaurs and the earth being older than say the biblical account. So to me, if we want to convert this to an analogy on religion, Tom believing in this Nazi UFO rubbish and believing we actually faked landing on the moon is the equivalent to someone ACTUALLY believing in the Flying Spaghetti Monster (as a real entity, to worship despite being created to make fun of such beliefs) yet at the same time believes in creation and the more biblical account of the world despite the massive amounts of physical evidence to the contrary.
