As members in good standing of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, this was encouraging to us, and should be discouraging to the wanna-be dictators at places across the street in Rogers (We're looking at you, church with the big crosses, 1-2-3) -- freedom of religion (or lack thereof) in America. Hope you enjoy the article and the pic, courtesy of Laura Vorzella at the Baltimore Sun...
Jacob Corbin-Beal bought a Hampden rowhouse that happened to have a billboard on one side, and he wasn't sure what to do with the thing. The seller had led him to believe it wasn't quite kosher under city regs, unless he rented it back to the guy, who owns a repair shop and was offering a measly 40 bucks a month.
Then Corbin-Beal had an idea. An epiphany, really, inspired by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
He bought yards and yards of sump pump hose, a couple of saucer sleds and some spray paint, then created what looks like a giant plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Two Wiffle ball eyes poke out from the pile. Below, in black and white, it says, "Believe Your Noodly Master, Hon."
The obvious message: Keep creationism out of public schools.
OK, maybe the meaning isn't so obvious. Unless you're familiar with The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a spoof religion whipped up in 2005 to protest plans to teach intelligent design in Kansas schools. (The founder threatened legal action if schools did not teach another theory -- that a "Spaghedeity" created the universe -- alongside evolution and intelligent design.)
You'll have to read the rest, but the pic should be a poster. We're happy noone gave you any crap, Corbin.
