So wait a moment, I'm responsible for myself? It's a two sided freedom. Good because I am in control, and bad because I AM IN CONTROL. But am I? Do I really make my own choices? Or is their an external influence on my actions and thoughts? Other people? The Flying Spaghetti Monster? Well, I'm not sure. There is not much to be sure of. Except the fact that most things in this world don't matter in the slightest and that the only thing holding us back is fear. Fear of what? Fear of being judged? Fear of bankruptcy? Fear of death? All of the above, and more. Fear is the natural reaction to something that has the potential to make a drastic change. Positive or Negative.

Learn to be in control of yourself. Because when it comes down to it, the lack of control is fear, and fear is limiting. A person in fear is a slave to their own mind. So please, be happy, be good, and be in control.

Idiocracy, the comedic movie, was not meant to be a documentary.

We're dangerously close to documentary, Idiocracy speaking.

Update: For those of you who don't understand the Flying Spaghetti Monster reference, read and learn. When my Catholic Godson declared himself a Pastafarian at age 15, without my influence, I was ecstatic. A fine boy, I concluded.

Update: Just so you know, the very idea of me being a Catholic anything, much less Godfather, made for a ton of big time humor and laughs in my large and diverse family. I took a ton of crap for being responsible for the inevitable impending lightening strike that was bound to occur during the ceremony.

Since I've been called Satan himself by not just my family members, but schoolmates and colleagues for my entire post K-5 life, it was very funny (though completely flattering), when my crib mate Aunt--she was born one month ahead of me by Grandma while Grandma's daughter, who I like to call "Mom" was about to deliver me--the Aunt who appointed me Godfather is one of the world's great, kind, sensible, smart human beings, and I love her like nobody's business.

I'm George Bailey rich.

Have I been wrong this whole time? Have I been following a false creator? I thought God made everything there was. But it seems like I was wrong. The world was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Boy do I feel stupid.

Okay, cards on the table. I was being sarcastic in that last paragraph. I bring this to your attention because apparantly my sarcastic voice sounds a lot like my normal voice. And that's when I'm speaking out loud and not typing. And while I'm on the topic of full disclosure, I feel you need to know how I feel about evolution. I personally don't believe in it. I'm a creationist. I believe that God made every thing and that we didn't evolve from monkeys or from single celled amoebas. But that doesn't make me a fan of Intelligent Design either. The science that some of the ID guys come up with is pretty dodgy and weak. My understanding of Genesis is that God created the universe. At the end of the day, I don't care how he did it. I don't think that part of the Bible is meant to be taken word for word and treated like a science manual. Which is what some ID supporters do.

I'm a creationist, but I don't treat creationism like a science. But some people in America want it taught as a science in schools. Which has some people upset. Especially those who want equal teaching time for the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is a reaction to Intelligent Design being taught in schools. It's a parody highlighting the scientific inconsistencies with this theory. I think their point comes through most clearly in their letter to Kansas State Board of Education - "I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence."

What place does Christian thought have in the classroom? Science and Christianity are often seen as enemies, but there's no reason for this. Science and Christianity are doing two different things that compliment each other. Science shows us how things happen. Christianity shows us the why. Science shows us that the universe was created by the Big Bang. Christianity shows us that the universe was created by God. Where did the Big Bang come from? Who started it? Why did it happen? These are the questions that science, by its very nature, can not answer. These "why" questions belong to Christianity.

Let's not treat Genesis as a science text book. It wasn't written that way and shouldn't be treated that way. How about we let science do its job of helping us understand the mechanics of how this universe works. And as Christians, lets focus on the real question here, the question that underpins everything - Why does the universe exist? Science can't answer that question. But the Bible can.

What do you do to make a bunch of soulless nutcases abandon their post at the Convention Center? Send in the pirates!

Yep, the cuckoo Phelps hate group walked the plank this morning after a happy bunch dressed like pirates and holding signs saying "God hates shrimp -- Leviticus" and "God hates cotton-polyester blends" stood opposite them at the corner of Markham and Scott streets. The group, made up of Central Arkansas Pastafarians, waved swords and growled "Arrghh!" in a manner that would have made Abbie Hoffman proud.

With cars honking and waving at the pirates and a TV crew giving them all the attention, the Phelps group -- with a child in tow, sadly -- picked up their "fag" epithets and went away. Pitiful.

May they forever remain touched by his noodly appendage.  RAmen.

Aqui está como tudo se originou, e é claro aqui tem uma aula prática de como falar como um pirata.

Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day! This important holiday celebrates pirates around the world and is an important religious event for me as a Pastafarian.

If you are not familiar with Pastafarians or the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster please visit these sites:

It is a well known Pastafarian belief that global warming is caused by the decrease of pirates worldwide. This holiday serves to reinvigorate pirates and therefore reduce global warming.

...recht zügig für die Erleuchtung des höchst unnudligen Bassisten namens Justin Meldal-Johnsen im aktuellen Lineup der Nine Inch Nails sorgen! Was zum Henker ein Vollpfosten Scientologe ausgerechnet in dieser Band verloren hat, wissen wahrscheinlich nicht mal die Götter, und die sind in der Regel ja gut informiert. Aber wie man an einem erst kürzlich während eines Konzerts aufgenommenen Photo sehen kann, ist das Fliegende Spaghettimonster bereits an dem Fall dran. Es ist nie zu spät, seinen Verstand aufzutauen, nicht mal für solche schrägen Gestalten!
