Creationists Ramp up War on Satire: RW attacks FSM!!!

[and-justice-for-all]

FSM is under attack!!!

In 2005, after the Kansas School Board took steps to promote creationist objections to science education, an outraged Oregon State University Physics student decided something had to be done. Rather than organize a letter writing campaign or protest in the streets, Bobby Henderson turned to an age-old tool of social commentary, satire. Henderson ‘founded’ a new religion called Pastafarianism whose followers worship a noodly deity called the “Flying Spaghetti Monster.” In a fun and playful way, Henderson’s Pastafarianism highlights both the religious motivation of advocates of so-called “intelligent design,” and the weaknesses in their arguments. Perhaps owing to the effectiviness of Henderson’s parody, the anti-evolution Discovery Institute has recently launched an attack on Pastafarianism.

In a post on Discovery’s blog last month, the loquacious Casey Luskin takes aim at the Flying Spaghetti Monster:

1. As a pastafarian

I've got to object to any abuse of the FSM.
I would spare even the fundies the chilling touch of his avenging noodles.

[flashlighter]

2. Well, you will have to put on your pirate regalia

and teach them to be touched by his noodly appendage.

3. Is there a war on the FSM?

Now that Christmas is over, is this their new battle?

[MuseRider]

4. Oh great.

NOW they will know what that thing on the back of my truck is. I just hope when they pop it off like they did my Darwin Fish they don't key my truck again.

5. I have a EVOLVE FISH on my car......

...the one holding a wrench.
Along with a "Support Law Enforcement" ribbon...

That fish does not belong to Xtians, it has NOTHING to do with jeebus. the Icthys fish is Pagan, its a fertility symbol..If you turn it with the fin pointing up, its a vagina!

[Pakhet]

12. someone stole my "support law enforcement" ribbon

as well as my Please spay and neuter and Rescue ribbons :-(

...or kids who have nothing better to do then to deface property.

I'm a Christian and I laughed myself silly when I saw this on the back of her car. :7

21. Welcome child to the buttery carb-filled noodles that will caress your soul.

All, but pirates (and maybe a few onery dwarves), are welcome in his kingdom.

22. Thank you Most Holy Multi Appendaged One!!

9. This is proof of evolution in progress.

RWers are losing the humor gene.

[ironflange]

11. Dear Lord of the Noodles, we humbly beseech. . .

Smite not those ignorant souls, they know not your infinite avenging power!

[GreenZoneLT]

15. Bobby's my hero

Mainly because he put my FSM drawing (on the dusty window of an armored Suburban in the Baghdad embassy parking lot) on his blog.

Bobby Henderson and Maddox alone are sufficient payoff for the Arpanet investment.

[piedmont]

16. How dare they insinuate my religious preference is anything less than genuine!

May his noodliness lay some smite upon them all!

[distantearlywarning]

19. It must be a sad life.

Being that humorless.

[NoodleyAppendage]

20. Small penis christofascists. So sad...little men with delusions.

Luskin must be sorely disappointed when looking in the mirror.

Ramen.
