Maybe This Is How It Began

I’ve posted about this before but not in any great detail but has everyone heard of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Well in case you haven’t, it was created to poke fun at Kansas’ Board of education demanding that Intelligent Design be taught in schools. He wrote an eloquent letter to every school board proposing this about he believes the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. He goes on to explain that it must be taught to children while wearing the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s without wearing the chosen outfit, full pirate regalia. He claims that carbon dating is flawed because the Flying Spaghetti Monster changes results and global warming is occurring because he’s angry there aren’t more pirates.

I’m not going to debate the merits of Intelligent Design or the flying spaghetti monster but what I am going to discuss is Scientology. L.Ron Hubbard wrote the Scientology manifesto and also wrote science fiction. Hmm now, say what you will about Flying Spaghetti Monster, but the man who created him has now written his own manifesto, or bible if you will.

It begs to ask if 20 years or so Tom Cruise and the like will discover the real truth and start jumping on sofas preaching the wisdom of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, of course while wearing full Pirate regalia.
