So my favorite psuedo-religion is finally going to get it's day to debate it's religious merit. The American Academy of Religion is meeting this weekend in San Diego to discuss the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his noodly appendages.
If you've never heard of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, here is a brief intro: "An Oregon State physics graduate named Bobby Henderson stepped into the debate by sending a letter to the Kansas School Board. With tongue in cheek, he purported to speak for 10 million followers of a being called the Flying Spaghetti Monster -- and demanded equal time for their views." "We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. None of us, of course, were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it," Henderson wrote. As for scientific evidence to the contrary, "what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage." I personally think this is great. Having top religous scholars debating about the FSM and it's place in religion could help out in schools and places where religous zelots are trying to push their brand of "holiness" onto students, and push out reasonable scientific facts. source:http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/personal/11/16/flying.spaghettimonster.ap/index.html FSM homepage: http://www.venganza.org Also, please note, I'm not anti-religion, I'm anti-stupid.
