Last Sunday at the Landover Baptist Church the pastor introduced a celebrity visitor who went by the name "Flying Spaghetti Monster". He didn't make a lot of noise but he had this meatball head and spaghetti hair and a T-shirt that read "FSM". I'm still not sure who he is or what he was doing at our church. Maybe just looking for God? Does anyone know him?

You haven't heard? Didn't the pastor explain? The Baptists and Pastafarians are merging. Don't worry though; there won't be any big changes. The sacramental wine will be replaced with beer and Baptisms will be performed with spaghetti sauce, however. Oh yes, and "Amen", it will be replaced "Ramen" after prayers. May you be touched by His Noodly Appendage.

Ah, I see what the priority is here. You (and, to be common, virtually each physique who opposes gay marriage) have perplexed civil and non secular marriage. so as to get a marriage recognised, it would be officiated via somebody with the authority to accomplish that. that's often a choose, Justice of the Peace, elected genuine including a mayor, in some places the county/city clerk, or a Justice of the Peace. some jurisdictions enable non secular officers to accomplish this duty besides; in the event that they do, they're going to fantastically lots ought to boost an identical authority to an FSM minister, because of the fact no genuine (we are hoping) could be stupid sufficient to disclose themselves to a slam-dunk First substitute case via refusing. in any different case what occurs is a separation of the civil ceremony and the non secular ceremony, wherein case no genuine will care who includes out the non secular ceremony, because of the fact that's the civil ceremony that is genuine interior the eyes of the state. Edited to respond: If that's what you're asking, i will carry on with the factor I buried in my wall of text cloth: i might wager that no public genuine might possibility an open-and-close First substitute case via refusing to correctly known an FSM minister as legally empowered to accomplish a marriage. yet i'm neither a criminal expert nor a conventional substitute student, so i won't be able to cite any precedent for you, i'm afraid.

Or do you assume all those with meatball heads are males?
