Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster
The rotunda in the Wisconsin State Capital building is getting a little crowded. After religious groups set up a nativity display, the Atheists, Humanists, and Agnostics group responded with a "Festivus" pole, and a "Winter Solstice Nativity" scene featuring Mark Twain, Albert Einstein, and Charles Darwin. And now, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is also represented among the holiday display. Annie Laurie Gaylor of the Freedom from Religion Foundation said, "The rotunda is getting very cluttered, but if a devotional nativity display is allowed, then there must be 'room at the inn' for all points of view." The newest display features a poster of the Flying Spaghetti Monster which reads, "he boiled for your sins" and "be touched by his noodly appendage, before it's too late!" And, in anticipation of the "war on Christmas" rhetoric, the sign also reads, "Think this is ridiculous? We agree! Religious ideas should not be promoted within the halls of government. Protect the separation of church and state, it protects us all." But, it's safe to say that Fox so-called News will ignore that logic... and go right back to their top story about Santa's skin tone.

It sounds like a few folks are jealous? Ridiculous? Immature? Or just like to be disrespectful?
Either way, they should be laughed at and ignored. As a Christian woman I will forgive them and know that my place in heaven is secure.
As a Christian woman, you shouldn't react with laughter or accusations of jealousy/immaturity. That's not very Christian of you, now is it?
Christians are allowed levity .
Thank you 11:35. Christians do not have to be insulted either and they are entitled to react however they see fit.
Christians live in love, humor, and happiness, with a little self confidence mixed in.
Sounds like Spaghetti Monster is getting a little jealous!

Well, that's not what Jesus said now was it?

Well now, perhaps someone should have mentioned that tidbit to the founders of this country. They referenced religion all the time. Even as all but one were Masons.
What WERE they thinking?
