The Flying Spaghetti Monster is Back

December 8th, 2014 by Mike Vasilinda

Last year, state officials allowed Florida Prayer Network to display a nativity scene in the Capitol Rotunda. Soon thereafter, other groups began demanding space, and so far this year t5 displays have been approved. The first two are up now. They include a Pastafarian Holiday display from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster , and a display from the Freedom from Religion Foundation, calling the season the Winter Solstice with a banner proclaiming that freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. The Nativity scene will be back as will a display from the Satanic Temple that was declared “grossly offensive last year.” ACLU spokesman Baylor Johnson says “If the state declares anything a public forum – it no longer gets to pick and choose what speech is allowed in that forum.”
