RS>From Florida:

RS>Satirical Monsters More Competition for Darwin
RS>E-mails offer Polk school officials a view of the origin of life they
RS>say is  just as valid as intelligent design.

RS>By John Chambliss 
RS>The Ledger 
RS>Education Reporter

RS>The Flying Spaghetti Monster has stretched its noodles to Polk
RS>County.

RS>The Flying Spaghetti Monster, or FSM, is a satirical group that pokes
RS>fun at  intelligent design. It first emerged in 2005 during the
RS>debate in Kansas over  whether the belief should be taught in science
RS>classes.

RS>The group has sent dozens of e-mails to Polk County School Board
RS>members  demanding that the idea of a Flying Spaghetti Monster
RS>creating the world  receive classroom equal time with other views.
RS>The e-mail  campaign began after 
RS>four of seven board members said in November that they supported
RS>teaching  intelligent design in addition to evolution.

RS>While the idea that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the 
RS>world lacks backing 
RS>in the scientific community, the point, according to those promoting
RS>the  satire, is that neither does intelligent design.

The FACT is...it's not satire! This is serious!

Who they fuck are they to say that it's not true? ;)
Thus the point.

Oh, and have you ever seen "them" call Mormonism a "satire", for 
instance? 

Why should a joke of a religion get cred?
It shouldn't! (Talking into a hat? HELLO!!!)

And ALL religions are alike.


The Constitution is REAL though!
