As an outside observer of all the religious, right-wing bullshit going on in the US, I'm loving what TST are doing.

I'm an ordained minister in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Not joking. I have the rights of any ordained minister in my state. I'll go to school and help kids. No problem.

(I also got our friend ordained to marry us legally.)

I’m not even an atheist and I love it. Religion has no place in the schooling of children. Theology for adults is a different thing entirely but no, children shouldn’t be indoctrinated in schools. And if they are, turnabout is fair play.

And fellas - he's gonna teach kids about your religion. They're gonna learn things even you don't know.

[–] spaceghoti@lemmy.one 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He's going to teach those kids things about their religion they don't want to know.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Some of them will have asked questions he'll be the first to answer.

Given what most of these nut jobs know about their religion that wouldn't be hard.
