:: My whole point of adding that info is that this article seems to focus more on the origin of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and not on what the Flying Spaghetti Monster is. When explaining a fictional creature, noting it's powers and abilities is relevant. [[User:ShawnJ|ShawnJ]] 11:59, 13 December 2008 (EST)

The FSM's main purpose is to poke fun at the idea of teaching a religious creation story in a science classroom.  It can be taken as a jab at any religious dogma, but it's primary use is more or less indisputable.

Would Conservapedia's [[Islam]] article count as a valid source?  RodWeathers recently blocked a user for suggesting that [[Intelligent Design]] was only an accepted belief of Muslims and Christians, rather than being the only belief.  If the Conservapedia article is correct and Islam subscribes entirely to Intelligent Design and does not recognize evolutionary theory at all. It would follow that something that pokes fun at a belief in ID and by extension, Christianity, would also be mocking other religions that prescribe to the same belief.  I can't speak for Judaism however so I will remove that one if you like.  If I am incorrect in my reasoning, or if the CP article on Islam is incorrect in it's statement, let me know and I'll gladly fix them.  --[[User:TuckerM|TuckerM]] 14:07, 13 December 2008 (EST)
