Paul: I think you got your tag wrong. You need to replace the "end irony" tag with an "end idiocy" tag.Krazy Komedy Hour | May 16, 2008, 12:56pm | #
Well, at least an "end idiocy" tag would have prevented your post! Sock it to me!ummm...... Tennessee. Not Alabama. There is no Cumberland County, Alabama.

The statue was intelligently designed, but the monster it represents may be evolving.Evolution is the most intelligent design.

I've been mulling about buying a FSM car decal (like the Jesus fish), but since I live in Florida, I genuinely fear being messed with by cops because of it...

As an Italian-American I object to the characterization of spaghetti as "monstrous," although I do believe it is worthy of worship.jtuf | May 16, 2008, 1:36pm | #

@jtufJust because the Chuck Taylor was introduced in 1917 doesn't mean it needs to be changed!

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the one and only true god.And by "true" - I mean as far as there is any real objective proof.

Jonathan Hohensee,I thought the whole point of the FSM was to make graven images as often as possible on plates smothered with marinara sauce and then eaten. With a dry red wine.
Like a sacrament, only much, much betterer.

I'm just wondering, but how does one go about in becoming a religious minister qualified to officiate in weddings?Say, if someone was interested in ordaining over his friends' wedding ceremony, in the name of Its Holy Deliciousness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Is this possible in the States, or is it just some cliche sitcoms would have as believe?
