Hey people! Being from Kansas I LOVE this. What I enjoy even more is that my brother in law is a science teacher at this school too and has the same poster on his door one hallway over!

I'm NOT in Kansas anymore!! Spagetti monster bless Portland Oregon!

[rock]

1. Long live FSM!

[Kolesar]

2. I love the beatific style of the painting

[DUHandle]

3. Sue Gamble seems O.K. to me

[maine_raptor]

4. How do I get more info on the FSM?

Got a friend who teachs middle school science.........he'd love it!

[Goblinmonger]

6. Arrrrrrgh. Right here, matey

[gristy]

10. go to wikipedia

[Goblinmonger]

5. Get a sense of humor

you ignorate bastards. The fact that they would demand a teacher take this down confirms in my mind that those board members are asshats of the highest level.

7. FSM is omnipresent.

But is he/she omniscient and all-powerful? Only the Holy Italian Sausages know.

[JuniperLea]

23. Would these be virgin sausages? n/t

[donco6]

33. They claim to be.

And that's good enough for me.

[MuseRider]

8. That is why I have it

on the back of my truck!

[gristy]

12. My car got an FSM sticker a few weeks ago

I park it proudly!

[joefree1]

15. Me too

Repuke in-laws saw it and were perplexed. However their kids loved it. I may have converted the wee ones to the one true religion.

Ramen!

11. LOL!!! Hey, Danieljay, didn't you know...?

That's when Gamble learned that Morris had asked the principal to take it down.

Only approved depictions of religious icons are allowed on the walls of Kansas public schools.

[tridim]

13. My Bush loving parents in KC love the FSM

I have hope that it'll be their ticket to the world of sanity. Kansas fundy Republicans are destroying the Kansas Republican party. Keep it up idiots!

[TheLeftyMom]

27. No kidding, they are destroying the GOP here

In the past, our Midwestern, practical values have always taken precedence over the fundie and ultra conservatives (as well as those extremely on the left). Nowadays, we all look like gay-bashing, Bible-thumping idiots.

[warrens]

14. Anyone who would deny the goodness of His noodley appendages

Must die as heretic. Why do they deny the one true creator? The filth and vermin who slander our creator must be put to the sword. Ramen.

[joefree1]

16. Or put to the fork!

Ramen!

[soothsayer]

17. Ramen!

[Triana]

18. titchy?

Some people just gotta have something to get their panties all in a wad about, don't they? Tsk.

[Caoimhe]

19. IRIE!!!! to all Pastafarians! we toast HIM! n/t

[JuniperLea]

24. I believe!

I saw him turn water into marinara sauce! And he made the limp linguine to rise up and walk.

[Touchdown]

31. With garlic butter?

Question: Does his magnificence bless alfredo? Pesto? Carbonala?

[trixie]

20. hee hee

"Personally, I think it's juvenile," he said.

A juvenile item in a school .... :rofl:

[Selteri]

21. New Rule

If you vote to allow alternate view of evolution without a basis in fact then you automatically have to accept that other theories will be made or parodies will be thrown up and you can't be offended.

Unless you're a hypocritical hellfire facsist, then you can and demand it's torn down because then you are assuming the role of God.

[Hissyspit]

22. Oh, I am SO recommending this.

I love pissing off close-minded people with their own contradictory beliefs.

[baby_mouse]

25. PERSECUTION! HERESY!

INFAMY! BLASPHEMY! BURN THEM AT THE STAKE!

[kcass1954]

26. War on Christians? I think not! This sounds to me like Christians waging

a war on Pastafarians.

Ramen.

[Dhalgren]

28. This is a War against Pastafarianism! It is a War against Pirates!

Patstafarians are truly persecuted for their faith. FSM help us...ramen

[HippieCowgirl]

29. Ramen!

May we all be blessed by his noodly appendage.

[LilyLibber]

30. I see the hand of DU...

along with His Noodly Appendage moving on the Wichita Eagle's Comments section for this article. Out of the 6 pages of replies I read, only two or three supported the offended BOE member. Check 'em out, post a comment - they're fun!

Connie Morris is not the boss of us! Ramen!

[muriel_volestrangler]

32. Good - it's meant to irk people like them

When they stop being silly, we'll stop be silly.

[SlipperySlope]

34. How are they being silly?

I'm curious here.

[muriel_volestrangler]

35. By voting for intelligent design to be taught in science

and changing their definition of 'science' itself so that it can include supernatural explanations.

[SlipperySlope]

36. Ah yes...

I wonder sometimes how many of them actually believe this, versus are purposely being dense to achieve their ends?

[nicknameless]

37. Typical rethug hypocrite.

They demand that creationism and religion be taught in school -- but only if it's their brand.
Since it isn't, they're demanding that it be censored.

:eyes:

[RagAss]

38. Kansas can't be helped.....fuck it...forget about them.
