Sad. My mom's best friend died of breast cancer. Nothing like pissing on religion in the name of....

Who is pissing on religion? What these believers are doing is raising money for a cause, a good one at that. These people are religious too. Their religion is not the same as yours...maybe thats your problemo.

You're clearly pissing on religion by posting that flyer. If your concern was truly the fight against breast cancer, then you wouldn't have chosen such a disengenuous manner to put that forth. I guess if QuiGon put out some homophobe flyer that did the same, or say Harry did one about a White Power group, or Patters did it using some Holocaust movement (bear with me here Patters, Qui, and HB, I'm not accusing you of anything, and am merely using this to make a point), no one would see the underlying message right? Or would have anything to say. Of course not. Afterall, if they did so, it would only be to help fight breast cancer.

The Spaghetti Monster's looking different. Has he taken on a slightly more human form to best connect with his (ever growing) legion of followers?

The only difference is that there really are homosexuals and Illinois Nazis in the world. You can go and find them and have a beer with them. Religious deities don't really exist, and only the cool ones like Jesus would sit and have a beer with you.

RW, it seems to me in the worst case, the poster pokes good natured fun at religion while supporting a good cause. That's certainly less obnoxious than religions that tell those who don't accept Jesus they're going to hell.

One person's "good natured fun" is another person's deeply offensive statements.

How about we have some more "good natured fun" by telling some jokes about gays and Hispanics..?

And one person's need to impose their belief system's unfounded ideas on the very much founded world of scientific discovery is the entire reason the church of the FSM was created.

Oh, I see... so it's OK to insult religion and religious people everywhere because some idiot somewhere tried to "impose their belief system" on scientific discovery... got'cha

Someday you people will realize how big of a bunch of hypocrites you are.
