Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!


Move over, Darwin. Stand aside, Intelligent Design.

The idea that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the world is demanding equal time in Kansas biology classrooms.

5. How do you know it's not Her Noodly Appendage?
And don't forget our hymn:

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my true meatball, when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table and onto the floor
and when someone kicked it, it rolled out the door.


Can't remember the rest of the verses, but it's obvious that this song carries profound implications.

13. OMG, thank you!
And did you notice the part about the meatball "rolling under a bush"?

Definitely an omen!

3. And did you notice the MSM coverup?
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 04:04 PM by dsewell
I haven't seen a *single* report in the MSM noting the correlation between the increasing severity of hurricanes and the decline in numbers of pirates along the Gulf Coast since the 18th century.

(Oh, and if that sentence is totally opaque to you, you really must read the FSM Open Letter. The bit about pirates...)

8. ROFL
WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTERISM

* Flimsy moral standards.
* Every friday is a relgious holiday. If your work/school objects to that, demand your religious beliefs are respected and threaten to call the ACLU.
* Our heaven is WAY better. We've got a Stripper Factory AND a Beer Volcano.

12. Spread the word. . .
This is very funny. He's got a point. If you're going to teach alternative theories, where does it end. He believes in FSM. I'll opt for generic aliens. Or the beings responsible for crop circles. Hey, my theory's as good as yours when it comes to intelligent design. The letters from the sane folks on the Kansas Board of Ed are pretty funny as well. of course, the right-wingers haven't responded. They truly should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this madness to get as far as it has. With reading and math scores among US students among the lowest of the top 30 developed countries, we should be concentrating on the fundamentals of reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic, not creationism aka intelligent design. And these are the idiots who will, in a generation, wonder why their kids are not being hired by the Chinese and Indian companies who will by then have bought most of the US economy.
