Halloween 2008

As I did in 2006 and 2007, I hit State Street with the FSM costume.
Once again, it garnered quite a bit of attention, both from those clueful in the ways of Pastafarianism, and those who just wanted to know what in the hell I was.
All of the pictures in the 2008 photo gallery with me […]

Faith and Atheism

This is a video from a call-in show on cable access in Austin about atheism.
One of the hosts here, Matt Dillahunty, calmly and reasonably has a long discussion with a caller who is trying to make the point that atheism is a state of faith. He really clearly lays it all out… the difference between […]

Halloween Freakfest 2007

I lazed out and reused my Flying Spaghetti Monster costume from last year.
Here’s the gallery of pictures from this year:

And here is a rough cut of some footage I got on the camera, much of it people’s responses to my FSM costume.

There is No Deeper Meaning

There is no sense in it. There is no deeper meaning.
All those who talk of and to the grieving (including the chimp in the Oval Office) can’t help themselves but to speak of god and his greater purpose for the 32 slain.
Dudes, there is no higher purpose. That anyone would claim that somehow this […]

You Stupid Fucking Hicks

Nice job, Wisconsin. You overwhelmingly voted for the amendment to ban gay marriage (and civil unions).
In 1895, South Carolina amended its state constitution to prohibit the "marriage of a white person with a Negro or mulatto or a person who shall have one-eighth or more of Negro blood."
In one hundered years history will look […]

Don’t Forget to Vote!

I did my part over lunch today and cast an absentee ballot downtown. Don’t forget to do the same yourself on Tuesday (or before).
I voted against the gay marriage amendment (it’s already illegal!). Gotta love the Christians… though they purport to love everyone, they want to make discrimination a part of our state constitution.
And I […]

Flying Spaghetti Monster Invades Madison

Halloween, Madison’s Mardi Gras (newly dubbed the Freakfest this year).
I was the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and Suz was a pirate (pirates are central figures in Pastafarianism).
I got a mention on the Daily Page blog and a picture up on this dude’s blog.  Also, the ESPN film crew got some footage of me in the […]

Banana: The Atheist’s Nightmare

Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains, and some creepy dude with a banana fetish have convinced me.
Finally, proof that God exists!

His thesis is simply that because the banana fits so well into his hand, it is proof that God exists.
What he doesn’t understand is that this could just as easily be an argument that this is […]

Those Lutherans again

‘Ol Kelly’s at it again. This isn’t the first email I’ve gotten from her.
Hi John-
I saw you at the Rainbow Connection event when you were busy running and filming.  How did it go for you?
Can we set a time to get together to view the video you shot of me at the Lutheran Student Center […]
