The Flying Spaghetti Monster

(3)

I love Alan Boyle's Cosmic log Which you can find on the MSNBC web site under the sub-category tech/science. In fact, if I could only read only one blog this would be it. There was a recent article about a new kind of photography, which led to yet another blog site about something called, 'The Flying Spaghetti Monster.' Sounded intriguing so I clicked it.

I was absolutely delighted to discover a most amusing parody of modern Christianity. This (to me) very amusing site apparently sprang up in reaction to the recent debate over Darwin's astonishing insight. Part of my pleasure was seeing that I wasn't the only blogger who had a low opinion of 'modern' religion. It is not good to be entirely alone.

You must see this site to believe it! The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is an obvious reference to the 'Italian Church' (Catholic Church). As a former Catholic (now deprogrammed) I giggled a lot as I read the stuff on the site, but I can understand that if you are Catholic you might be a little 'put off' by it. You will probably love it if you're Jewish. Or maybe not.
