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

How I did it
It made me
Confused 
How I did it: I did this in college, as my undergraduate degree, along with Latin. I would recommend doing the two in conjunction as they are too similar not to. Read how I did it…
It made me
Overjoyed 
How I did it: Personally, I began in high school with the Ecce Romani text, but the program was cut from my school.

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…
