Last check: ) There was even a “protestant” schism that broke off known as the Demuristic Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Crossville Chronicle, Crossville, TN - SEEING THROUGH THE HAYES: Flying Spaghetti Monster exposes myth of neutrality in ... At her blog at http://itlovesyou.blogspot.com, Ariel Safdie has stated the statue is “intended to create discourse on the role of religion on public property.” Whether or not the statue was put up to ridicule the notion of religion influencing public policy I cannot prove. While some may argue the statue was not locally done in effort to mock or belittle Christians, the idea of the spaghetti monster in its original context was proposed to do just that. In other words, the spaghetti monster concept was created to undermine the credibility of Intelligent Design as an alternative theory to Darwinian evolution. www.crossville-chronicle.com /opinion/local_story_092184403.html?keyword=topstory   (769 words)
