I would like to restart this group again and request to be made host.

115. The source of the FSM was not legal at all but an internet letter by Bobby Hendeson.

It was a parody and a sham from the get-go and better minds than his were involved in the litigation with Kansas and creationism.

It's even more of a sham today with internet posers batting their eyelashes that it's a legitimate religion.

For 20 bucks I'd join you in getting ordained but I don't do scams.

Now, since you've come in here calling people hypocrites - for seeing a scam as a scam - I'll give you one chance before I returrn the favor.

You've stated several times you're an ordained minister in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Fine.

Explain your church's beliefs in strippers and beer volcanos.

There will be one of three results.

1) You will demonstrate those are your sincerely held beliefs.

2) You don't believe them in the slightest and we will then move on to the topic of hypocrisy.

3) You will demonstrate it is in fact a sham designed to mock other religions.

Go ahead.
