OPEN LETTER TO KANSAS SCHOOL BOARD (universe created by
Flying Spaghetti Monster)

I'm sure you now realize how important it is that your students are taught this alternate theory. It is absolutely imperative that they realize that observable evidence is at the discretion of a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to teach our beliefs without wearing His chosen outfit, which of course is full pirate regalia. I cannot stress the importance of this, and unfortunately cannot describe in detail why this must be done as I fear this letter is already becoming to long. The concise explanation is that He becomes angry if we don't.

2. BLASPHEMER! Spaghetti Monster is NOT the Creator!
The Creator, as everyone who is right knows, was Lolita the Cabbage Eating Amazon from the planet FundiVangelicalshavealltheanswers. I demand you retract your hateful, blaspheming and thoroughly false spaghetti monster theory at once and bow down to Lolita! She da Woman!!

6. BWAHAHAHA!
This is fabulous! Is this yours? May I use it?

To be fair, our LTTE section of the paper has been very pro evolution but that has not stopped the school board.

Thank you for a major chuckle this morning. Today must have been nutball day in our paper, all at once it seems and I was feeling a little down about that.

Really funny, nominated.

9. This Kansan is thoroughly embarrassed.
Ouch.

Fortunately, most here do not share the beliefs of those individuals on the School Board. Look for them to be voted out of office at the earliest opportunity.

I live in the Eastern part of the state (only a few miles from the MO border in a KC suburb) and it's hard to keep tabs on those small town assholes in the middle and western parts of the state. What can you do?

22. I thought that was last week?
I do work in Lawrence, but only part-time these days, and unfortunately I'm working from my office (home) in OP today. Can't justify the gas for one of my days off from the commute!

Having said that, keep me updated on future meet-ups and I'll plan my schedule accordingly so that I'm in Lawrence.

You sure you can't make it?

I understand about the gas, though!

18. "myths & legends" - that's how dismissive & disrespectful
this group is of other sacred beliefs. A history unit on Native Americans had a chapter on "myths & legends." This is their religion they were addressing. The creation of the world in 7 days is a pretty far fetched concept, & the GREAT MAJORITY of people in this world would classify it as a belief of a particular religious group, not a science. I don't want my kids taught anyone's religious beliefs as a science.

Let us know if you get IRS exempt status for your "Flying Spaghetti Monster" church. Then we'll see if we can get the text books to include this important theory.

19. Are you disrespecting the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
He most certainly will send you to your firey doom in the Eternal Brick Pizza Oven!
