I 'n' I, Jah Pastafari

Shut down the internet, because it has finally peaked, it's all downhill from here. This is the greatest thing ever. Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is the parody religion (as believable as any) created as an alternate explanation to evolution in response to the Kansas Board of Education voting to allow "Intellegent Design" to be taught instead of evolution in public schools. (hope they don't plan on going to any accredited univeristy) Basically, the pilars of the religion are that
The Universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster
All evidence pointing towards evolution was put in place by His Noodly Appendage
Global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct consequence of the decline in numbers of pirates since the 1800s.

The benefits of this religion are
Like the great noodles they worship, Flying Spaghetti Monsterists have flimsy moral standards
Religious holiday every Friday
Promise of a stripper factory and a beer volcano in Heaven.

Sign me up it deserves just as much discussion in science class as intelligent design does.
