FSM: The Book

In celebration of the Flying Spaghetti Monster book, I suggest you convert now and avoid the rush.

Pastafarianism benefits:

• 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.

Hard to beat that.

But while we're on the topic of "intelligent design," lets talk about Kansas. And by "talk," I do mean "laugh at." President Bush wants science students to hear "both sides" so they "know what the debate is about." Once again, our Dear Leader is wrong. There are more than two sides, as the "Christian God" version of ID clearly conflict with the Flying Spaghetti Monster version of ID. This part of the debate is critical, as one of the Kansas School Board members spreads it out in a nutshell:

Member Kenneth Willard accused the scientific establishment of having "blind faith in evolution." He told his colleagues during a 45-minute debate that the anti-evolution view is more intellectually honest.

Now, I don't know which ID version Mr WIllard is coming from (he is not pictured in the WaPo story and so I can't tell if he is in pirate regalia or not) and that is critically important to the debate, as I'm sure the president would agree. We want to know all sides, don't we?
