World Buildings - March 2008

Flying Spaghetti Monster at courthouse
The Cumberland County Courthouse in Crossville, Tennessee was granted the gift of his noodly appendage.

Yes, the Flying Spaghetti Monster was in full view at the courthouse, drawing non-believers into his margharita sauce of forgiveness.


Well, actually, it's a statue, erected by the happy folks at the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

One reader asked the inevitable question:

""Why are you erecting a religious statue on public property?"

Which was answered loudly and defiantly to anyone within a garlic breadstick's distance:

"To the last "Anonymous": I believe the finding about the display of religion on public property was this-- If you allow one belief, then you must equally allow all others who request. The door was opened last year when the County allowed Jesus sculptures to be placed on the Courthouse steps and the Courthouse lawn. Now Cumberland County must welcome all requests equally. I expect our Courthouse lawn to become an open forum for personal expression. Our county property now looks Cheesier than ever. Got any Parmesan?"
