			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     The book, <a title="The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0812976568/112502-20/" target="_blank">The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster</a>, looks to be a great read!  It&#8217;s an elaborate parody of Intelligent Design:</p>
<blockquote><p>CAN I GET A “RAMEN” FROM THE CONGREGATION?!</p>
<p>Behold the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), today’s fastest growing carbohydrate-based religion. According to church founder Bobby Henderson, the universe and all life within it were created by a mystical and divine being: the Flying Spaghetti Monster.<br />
     .<br />
     .<br />
     .<br />
Within these pages, Bobby Henderson outlines the true facts– dispelling such malicious myths as evolution (“only a theory”), science (“only a lot of theories”), and whether we’re really descended from apes (fact: Humans share 95 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees, but they share 99.9 percent with pirates!)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>     The <a title="Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" href="http://www.venganza.org/" target="_blank">Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster&#8217;s website</a> has, of course, been targeted by many people who are unable to take a joke.<br />
     Fortunately, they&#8217;ve opened up their hate-mail archive to the public.  It&#8217;s also fortunate that we have <a title="I do believe you are" href="http://fsm.typepad.com/hatemail/2006/07/i_do_believe_yo.html" target="_blank">idiots like Casey Powell</a> to give us something to laugh about.</p>
<p>     [ of course, <a title="Swank Blather" href="http://www.swankpad.org/blather/2006/07/31/a-good-laugh/" target="_blank">I have to thank Swanky for pointing me towards all of this</a> --- good stuff! ]</p>
<p>      Some people have little else to do but send ludicrous hate mail, due in no small part but that so many people have little room for humor in their day-to-day lives.  It&#8217;s sad.<br />
     Me, I get some <a title="Momma Always Said, "Psycho Is as Psycho Does"" href="http://www.blogitude.com/2006/07/21/momma-always-said-psycho-is-as-psycho-does">local psychotic nutjob sending me scathing e-mails and blog comments claiming that I&#8217;m the father of her five-year-old child</a> (an impossibility, given the fact that I lived in another country at the time).<br />
     Others get <a title="I do believe you are" href="http://fsm.typepad.com/hatemail/2006/07/i_do_believe_yo.html" target="_blank">morons like Casey Powell, who profess Christianity while sending vulgar and abusive e-mails</a>, threaten lawsuits because the owner posted them publicly, and finally come out and deny that it was him at all &#8212; no, in fact, it was his evil twin.<br />
     I should introduce Casey to Laney.  <br />
     Laney would dig Casey&#8217;s methods with a dumbfounded, &#8220;Suing that guy for posting your own comments and claiming it was someone else who made them?  Why didn&#8217;t I think of that?&#8221;<br />
     And sure Casey would dig her whole birth-without-sex story, which would surely remind him of the Gospel of Matthew.</p>
<p>     Their union and subsequent child just might be enough to signal the Coming of the Great While Colander.</p>
