A Pastafarian pastor on Tuesday gave an opening prayer on behalf of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster before a local government meeting in Alaska while wearing a colander on his head.
Barrett Fletcher, the pastor, noted the duties performed by the members of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly in his message, adding a few of them "seem to feel they can't do the work without being overseen by a higher authority.
"So, I'm called to invoke the power of the true inebriated creator of the universe, the drunken tolerator (sic) of the all lesser and more recent gods, and maintainer of gravity here on earth. May the great Flying Spaghetti Monster rouse himself from his stupor and let his noodly appendages ground each assembly member in their seats," Fletcher reportedly said.
The Pastafarian invocation is the latest episode in a bizarre saga that stems from a state supreme court ruling allowing fringe religions to participate.

Mocking God is never a good idea
##########################################################################
I think this needs to be repeated for the sake of those who mock their Creator.
MOCKING GOD IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA!
I can defend this position. However, I may not be inclined to do so if the person that responds is a jackas_.
Yes, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It seems that atheists, in their zeal to disprove God and Jesus Christ, have made themselves an idol of their own.
It’s not that they don’t believe in God, they just don’t like Him.
Oh, aren’t these people just soooooo clever!
Oh, so hilarious! Wait till he stands before the real God. His jokes wont save him...
Nor would he survive it.
IIRC, the Court ruled that it was NOT a religion.
I like to think God has a sense of humor...after all, he created it.
Perhaps we were just created for his amusement, and this is a way for him to get a good laugh. I imagine he needs something to do since eternity is such a long time.
At least I hope so, or I'll probably be seated next to Ozzy in that warmer place. I'm actually surprised more women wouldn't want to go there since they always complain about the cold.
Especially the comfy chair and the soft pillows.
What makes his "religion" any different than yours? Especially considering the widespread scandals throughout the Christian kingdom of blasphemy, child abuse, you name it..........
His seems to be the most benign of all of them.
At least he isn't screwing little boys or asking for a $1,000 "seed" in exchange for a promise to become rich or selling a "prayer towel" or talking in tongues.......LOL!
This fool and many others will reap their just reward. Processing to be wise they shall become fools. To paraphrase.
Trust me, this "Spaghetti Monster" nonsense is designed to attack Christianity.
But you know all that. You're just being obtuse. Because, nobody is that stupid. Are you?
Matt 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Ramen brother.
Its all fun and games until you take your last breath and are ushered into a throne of perfect justice, perfect accountability and eternal consequences.
“The Creation of the Flying Spaghetti Monster”
Oh wow, so Catholics and Methodists (and in another post, Lutherans too) are all “religions of man”. Add in the Orthodox and the Orientals, so I guess that means as per the post 35 that basically 99% of Christians are of the “religion of man”, eh?
I probably think his denomination is heretical, whatever it is. :>)
