Wired’s Gadget Lab takes a look at these speakers which clearly have a close resemblance to the FSM. Coincidence?

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

Hi :) I’m trying to raise some help/awareness here re. the European Constitution.
.
.
“After a meeting with the Pope, Merkel said
“we need a European identity in the form of a constitutional treaty and I think it should be connected to Christianity and God, as Christianity has forged Europe in a decisive way.†She is planning a “Berlin Declaration†claiming that Europe is based on Christian values.
.
http://www.venganza.org/2007/02/06/arrogant-atheists.htm#comment-57694
.
Sorry to splatter this all over but I think it’s important. Apologies to all who have read the linked post.
.
Also, the site linked to my name for the foreseeable future is vision4europe.org. The Humanist/secrarian alternative to Merkel’s Christian Europe.
Please have a look and raise as much hell about this as you can. Esp. as you are on the forums.
Thanks
David

However she’ll get no where. The French are very very happy with their secular state and won’t roll over on that.
.
I can’t see the Dutch or the Danes going for it either.
.
Putting crap like that in the constitution is an excellent way to scupper the whole project.

It needs unanimous consent in all members.

They need to taking controversy out not putting it in.

The odd’s on getting any EU constitution, whether its secular, christian or declares the FSM as the founder of Europe is very unlikely full stop.
Generally not a big fan of constitutions which tend to have vague and meaningless words like ‘freedom’ or ‘rights to this or that’
Nothing wrong with the philosophy but in practice just leads to unelected judges deciding on laws instead of politicans , and if there is one group of people at least in the uk who have less respect than politicans its judges

Yes I saw those in a CNET gizmos section. That had a nice line at the end when they summarised them as ‘Now that’s Intelligent Design!’. I thought that was funny.
@Alchemist
Never mind splattering it over multiple threads, it does warrant every European Pastafarians attention. And sure, I’ll sign the petiton when it comes online.
@Captain
The Dutch or Danish populations may indeed not approve it. But remember, plenty of governments didn’t consult their population over the constitution last round. In Germany the parliament just approved it, as in many other countries. And the new Dutch coalition government will have a disgustingly Christian little party in it and one of the two big coalition parties is the mainstream Christian democrats. Together they might just decide not to consult the population but say ‘Heck yes, give us a Christianity-infested constitution’ on their behalf.
.
All of a sudden an atheist non-democratic system like China is looking remarkably good. I suspect that some US pastafarians must be starting do doubt their trust in democracy given that that gave them a Bible-belt controlled government that would love nothing better than make the US a theocracy. If Merkel gets her way I may develop similar feelings about things in Europe.

Jean Bart, DPG – Thanks, I’ll jump into the forums soon. I need to brush up on the Treaty of Rome, I’ve got it somewhere. This is a real fight I’m afraid, as such it needs facts and legal arguments. No playing silly Alchemist on this one :(
.
@ all that think this is no big thing.
Sorry folks – it is! We can sit on our arses and think “naah, France will never buy it. It’s to keep Turkey out. The UK won’t sign it. etc etc.
.
If no one opposes it though, ie us! than it will happen.
.
Add to that the direction we are taking by even contemplating this and we must stand up and be counted.
.
It might come to nothing but I, for one (and Jean Bart and DPG also) will NOT take that chance.

I don’t want that to happen in the UK. Sadly it is though. With the rise in fundamentalism in one religion others follow. 30% of British Muslims demand Sharia Law within the UK. Christian groups will follow them. You can bet on that!

I went to the site for the book drive, but it wouldn’t accept my donation! Sorry! But I am telling everyone I know about it (excluding my family who all think that a disbelief in god automatically means I believe in, and worship, satan), and hopefully they will either donate, or sign the petition, or do whatever they can. Not only do we not want it to happen where you are, we don’t want this kind of thing to happen anywhere.

What stage did you get to before it went wrong, what was the error?
I warmly welcome your willingness to make a donation! Email the organisers at church-and-state@jamiechristie.com if you want to make a pledge for one constituency but the server keeps refusing you. I don’t think it was UK residents only. Why should it be? The DVDs that a UK creationist organistion recently sent to UK schools (Truth in Science) came from the US. Why should only the fundies be allowed to organise internationally?
.
The Downing street website petitions against creationism in schools are only for UK residents or citizens living abroad, you can’t contribute to those.

Well, I went and signed up on the site, and it said it sent a link to my email that I had to use to get back on and pledge my money. I tried several times to access the site via the link they sent my, but everytime I get an error message saying page not available. It is entirely possible that it is my computer acting up, I haven’t been able to go to radio blog lately either, which also uses an email link to access. SO, one of the people I work with who is interested in this thing as well has agreed to make a pledge for me at the same time he makes one for himself. He is from U.K, and he thinks the whole idea is ludicrous. So he is letting all of his friends and family from there know about it as well… hopefully this will generate some pledges for you.
.
So yeah, I made a cash pledge to my buddy, and he will pick a constituency for me and make the donation. I know I could probably work it out through my computer or do it using a friends, but this just seemed easier.

I think you can take one constituency, see pledgebank link above. If it doesn’t work then email me and we’ll follow Batmans procedure (i. e. you tell me you want to make a pledge, send me the 8 pounds, I make the pledge on your behalf from within the UK). Same goes for Jean Bart of course, or anyone else outside the UK. If you want to help but can’t, please let me know (my email is on my home page)!

I’m pretty sure it’s in the Irish constitution that we have to have a vote for the European one, not quite as much blind loyalty to the church here as there once was, so we might be able to put the kaibosh (no idea how to spell that) on it
