I’ve found a simple text to work (Humphries et al.) and perhaps a text from the local library. See where this one goes.



Promote the idea of Flying Spaghetti Monster.
For me, it's not law 7 months ago

For those of you whom have not heard of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, take a quick look over at the church’s website www.venganza.org.

Why I think this is important is because it brings into light (in a satirical manner) the idea of “Intelligent Design”. Personally not being a fan of “Intelligent Design” as a science, Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) offers another (again, in jest) option for creation. Again, neither is meant to treated as a science, but it could be.

After this satire, there is the fact that we can watch a religion start. Being of the mind who thinks that religion springs forth as a result of some sort of oppression, FSM started when Intelligent Design was forced into the school where it would be taught as a science. Now, FSM is a recognized religion and will continue to “flourish”; all the while, people (I would imagine psychologists and theologists) will be able to see how religion germinates, sprouts and propagates.

We’ll see where this goes…
