Flying Spaghetti Monster? Church of The Smashing Orangey Bit? Did I Miss Something?
June 15, 2009 at 2:26 pm
I apologise if this sounds like a tiresome rant or odd question or anything, but it's something I've been wondering about for a while now;

Alot of atheists/agnostics/unbelievers and what have you are part of this strange movement of forming or supporting these 'parody' churches. I am not in any way insulting anyone who is involved, and I'm not decrying them ... I just don't understand their point, surely the immitation of something that many of the contributors dislike, serves no purpose?

I was just looking for a little insight, if anyone has the time ...

Cheers
