Fringe
“So what do you do for a living?”
“I’m a particle physicist. I work at CERN with particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider.”
“Wow that’s really fringe stuff.”
“I don’t think so. We’re trying to understand what matter is made up of and how the Universe began. Important things for our knowledge of physics.”
“But we already know how that all started!”
“We do?”
“Yes of course! The Flying Spaghetti Monster created the Universe as we know it in his noodlely magnificence.”
“I’m not really a believer in things like that.”
“That’s okay. His Noodleness still loves you.”

I wrote this for the Carrot Ranch International Flash Fiction Challenge. The prompt was fringe.

The FSM is an interesting philosophical argument. It’s use as absurdist critique of religion is well done – though many take the FSM too far. 😉

Yes I’m in FSM group on Facebook. My concern is that some people might be beginning to take it too seriously.

Really? That’s wild. Here’s to hoping people understand the true meaning of FSM, because as a religious person, I think skepticism (from outside or within) can help us all reflect a bit more genuinely in the long run.
